We've been bringing you regular updates about Revival, the giant food hall that's going to change loop lunching forever (and we're not exaggerating) for months now, and the hall is finally just about ready to open. The hall is scheduled to open within the next couple of weeks, but we got a sneak peek and it's looking great.
Revival is the brainchild of the 16" on Center, the same group behind Dusek's, Longman & Eagle and The Promontory. Instead of stuffing a food court with Panera and Chipotle, the group reached out to some of Chicago's best independent neighborhood restaurants, and asked them to open smaller locations inside of Revival. That way, a visitor can get a real taste of Chicago, all in one place.
Vendors include:
Aloha Poke
Brown Bag Seafood Company
Farmers Fridge
Harvest Juicery
The Budlong
Antique Taco Chiquito
Furious Spoon
The Fat Shallot
Black Dog Gelato
Smoque BBQ
Graze Kitchenette
Danke
Union Squared
There's also a record store, Curbside Books & Records, and a bar/coffeeshop with pastries by Mindy Segal of Hot Chocolate.
Check out the spacious interiors, and let the countdown to a better lunch (and breakfast and after-work drinks) begin.
