Maxwell’s at the Club Suspends Lunchtime Service for the Season, But It’s An Excellent Lunchtime Venue for Summertime Private Events

Chicagoans seeking a first rate location for hosting a group event this summer need look no further than Maxwell’s at the Club, the popular open-to-the-public restaurant at the East Bank Club (500 N. Kingsbury St., Chicago; 312-527-5800). During the summer months and through the end of September, when many East Bank Club members choose to eat lunch poolside at the newly expanded outdoor grill (open to members and their guests only), Maxwell’s suspends its lunch service, but during this period will be available for private lunchtime events. The restaurant will be open for business as usual at dinnertime (weekdays, 5:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m.). The bar is open 4 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on weekdays, with live entertainment and a full dinner menu.
