Beaumont's occupies a building with history: for over 40 years it housed a 4am neighborhood bar that generations of Chicagoans passed through, inside a structure dating back to 1890. A 2024 gut-rehab turned it into something new — not a revival of the old late-night spot, but a restaurant built to become its own neighborhood institution, keeping the name (with an added "s") as a nod to what came before.
The menu sets American classics alongside French and Italian staples, running from handmade pastas to charcoal-fired steak frites. The beverage program leans on classic cocktails, backed by a wine list drawn from American, French, and Italian producers, all served in a room styled to feel familiar and lived-in rather than polished.
The cocktail program and the room itself have built a following among regulars, even as the kitchen's output draws more divided opinions.
