At 712 N. Clark Street, River North’s newest restaurant, Storyville, prepares for its grand opening on August 26, 2021.
With Chicago Chef Louie Yu—who also leads the kitchen at sister concept, Chalet—directing the kitchen, Andouille sausage sizzles, gumbo bubbles in a pot, and the aroma of bananas caramelizing, waiting to be poured over vanilla ice cream.
Storyville is a New Orleans experience transported from the Mississippi Delta to the banks of the Chicago River.
Storyville takes its name from New Orleans’ illustrious historic red-light district, which, in turn takes its name from Alderman Sidney Story. In 1897, he drafted legislation to keep prostitution legal, but only in this 16-square-block portion of the French Quarter.
“Storyville’s history is so rich, so vibrant. With décor, music, and a menu boasting French Quarter cocktails and small bites, we aim to bring this legend to Chicago—to pay tribute to a place and time that brought jazz to the world and shaped our concept of ‘party’ to this very day,” says Co-Founder Vincent Lujan.
Wednesday through Sunday, Storyville features dinner and late-night cuisine and libations with highlights like the mini po’ boys, fried redfish served with jambalaya, Cajun pasta prepared with blackened chicken, and Storyville’s Hurricane. On weekends, a brunch will be offered including fresh beignets dusted with powdered sugar and café au lait prepared with chicory.
