Stefani Restaurant Group announced the debut of Castaways Beach Club (formerly Castaways Bar & Grill) Memorial Day weekend. Situated on North Avenue Beach (1603 N. Lakeshore Dr.), the boat-shaped seasonal restaurant has been on the lakefront for over two decades. It will reopen with a new name, look, food and beverage offerings and additional seating as well as private event options.  

The refreshed Castaways will include revamped dining decks, bar areas, patio space and multiple cabanas available for rent and private events. The two-level Castaways spanning 22,000 sq. feet is set for all occasions – from offering sit-down dining options to a cabana deck with bottle service, bands and DJs. Although the North End Club will be reserved for patrons 21+, Castaway’s will still be family-friendly in the restaurant portion. The beach house will also see upgrades to furniture, lighting fixtures, color schemes and layout.

“The lakefront is Chicago’s front yard and Castaways has long been part of that - we are thrilled to deliver a new and refreshed experience this summer,” said owner Anthony Stefani. “We can confidently share that Castaways Beach Club will bring an unparalleled summertime experience to our city and we cannot wait to welcome everyone aboard!” 

Castaways will serve lunch and dinner daily, with the menu featuring global beach fare cuisine. Guests can also choose from a cocktail menu.
