The Spot
Bar Mar sits at 120 N Wacker Drive in the Bank of America Tower, directly below Bazaar Meat in the Chicago Loop. The room pairs nautical details with an elegant finish, built around raw bar presentations — oysters piled on ice — alongside ceviches.

Chef José Andrés' menu reworks seafood classics like fried calamari and lobster rolls, with dishes such as pulpo a la gallega, patatas bravas, and a brussels sprout salad drawing repeat mentions from diners. Festive cocktails round out the menu.

The Michelin Guide has selected Bar Mar in both its 2023 and 2024 Chicago guides.
