The Village of Bloomingdale has announced the first wave of restaurant tenants coming to The Grove at Bloomingdale, the Village's transformative $375 million mixed-use development currently under construction. Joining the project are Game On!, GIA MIA, Hacienda Real, a new contemporary Greek restaurant from Forte Hospitality Group and Loretta’s Last Call.
“The Grove represents the next chapter in Bloomingdale’s growth, a place where families, friends and visitors can come together to live, dine, shop and celebrate,” said Bloomingdale Mayor Franco Coladipietro. “These new restaurants reflect the kind of vibrant, high-quality experiences we envisioned for this development, and we’re excited to see them become part of what will be a truly dynamic destination for our community.”
Game On!
Game On! will open its second location and first outside of Boston at The Grove in Bloomingdale, bringing the sports bar and entertainment concept to the Chicago area.
The new location follows the original Game On! inside Boston’s Fenway Park. The Bloomingdale venue will be designed around Chicago sports, with a sports-themed environment and programming centered on local teams as well as major sporting events throughout the year.
More than 50 televisions will be installed throughout the space, with game audio available for featured matchups. The venue plans to show a range of professional and college sports and host organized watch parties for events including the Super Bowl, Kentucky Derby and other major games.
Game On! will also incorporate interactive entertainment alongside its sports viewing. Pop-A-Shot basketball and billiards are among the games planned for the Bloomingdale location.
The food and beverage program will focus on game-day fare, cocktails and beer, with the venue designed to accommodate both guests watching games and groups gathering for food, drinks and entertainment.
GIA MIA
GIA MIA features Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizzas, fresh pastas, small plates, handmade mozzarella and a curated selection of wine, craft beer and cocktails. The Bloomingdale restaurant will continue the brand’s focus on approachable food, hospitality and creating a place where the community can gather.
“Bloomingdale feels like a natural next step for GIA MIA,” said Brian Goewey, Founder and President of BG Hospitality Group. “We’ve built this brand around being part of the communities we serve, and The Grove is being designed with that same sense of connection in mind. We’re excited to be part of what is taking shape there and to introduce GIA MIA to the Bloomingdale community.”
GIA MIA first opened in downtown Wheaton in 2015 and has since expanded throughout Chicago’s western suburbs, with locations in Geneva, Wheaton, Elmhurst, St. Charles, Downers Grove, Naperville, Lombard and Bolingbrook.
Hacienda Real
The restaurant focuses on Mexican culinary traditions presented through a modern approach to food, beverage and hospitality. Its menu combines traditional Mexican flavors with contemporary culinary techniques, alongside a cocktail program centered on handcrafted drinks.
Hacienda Real locations are designed individually to reflect the communities in which they operate while maintaining the brand’s broader approach to Mexican cuisine and hospitality. Specific menu offerings and design details for the Bloomingdale restaurant will be announced closer to the opening.
Hacienda Real is the flagship contemporary Mexican concept from Arechiga Restaurant Group, a family-owned hospitality company that operates a portfolio of Mexican restaurant concepts throughout Illinois and Indiana.
Contemporary Greek Restaurant by Forte Hospitality Group
Led by hospitality entrepreneur Kosti Demos, Forte Hospitality Group operates several independent restaurants in the Chicago area, including Sapori Trattoria, Butcher & the Bear and Ithaki Estiatorio in Greektown.
The new Bloomingdale restaurant will focus on Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, with a menu featuring seafood, meats and Mediterranean ingredients. The beverage program will include handcrafted cocktails and a selection of wines.
Plans for the restaurant also call for a contemporary Mediterranean-inspired interior with a bar, spacious dining room and accommodations for private events. The concept is being designed to serve both everyday dining and special occasions.
Additional details, including the restaurant’s name, menu and opening timeline, will be announced at a later date.
Loretta’s Last Call
Loretta’s Last Call will open its first Illinois location at The Grove in Bloomingdale, bringing the Nashville-inspired restaurant and live entertainment concept to the Midwest.
The Bloomingdale location will be the second for Loretta’s Last Call, joining its original location in Boston. The concept combines Southern-inspired dining with live music, dancing and country-themed nightlife.
The venue will feature a dedicated stage with weekly live entertainment from local musicians as well as performers traveling from Nashville and other markets. Line dancing will be offered every Sunday and Wednesday, with programming designed for both experienced dancers and newcomers.
The food and beverage menu will include Loretta’s signature hot and crispy chicken, along with additional Southern-inspired dishes and mason jar cocktails.
The Bloomingdale location is designed as an all-in-one dining and entertainment venue, allowing guests to have dinner, see live music and participate in dancing during the same visit. Additional details about the opening date and programming will be announced at a later date.
