South Branch Tavern & Grille sits on the Chicago River in the Loop, between Willis Tower and Union Station, with an outdoor patio and open-air bar looking out over the water and skyline. It's built for the downtown crowd — regulars point to it as a go-to corporate lunch spot, with staff and service that keep people coming back.
The kitchen calls its cooking "American fare with a twist": salads, handhelds, and entrees alongside a rotating Catch of the Week, plus dietary-friendly options like Kung Pao Cauliflower and an Impossible Burger. The beer list leans heavily on Chicago and Midwest craft breweries with rotating seasonal taps, backed by a broader cocktail and wine program.
South Branch also runs as an events and private-party venue, with more than four rooms available and an adjoining cocktail bar, Monroe Reserve, for corporate happy hours and larger gatherings.
