Why Visit Gino’s East South Loop
Gino’s East South Loop sits in a stone-fronted building on Dearborn Street in Printers Row, the historic district that once printed much of the Midwest’s books and catalogs. Inside it is exposed brick, timber beams, tufted booths and TVs for the game, with an outdoor patio when the weather cooperates.
It is an easy stop before a show at the Auditorium Theatre, after an afternoon in Grant Park, or on the way back from Museum Campus and McCormick Place. Locals come for weekday happy hour (Monday to Thursday, 4 to 6 pm, with half-off thin crust pizzas) and carry-out on busy nights.
For groups, the restaurant seats 100, hosts up to 120 reception style, and the entire restaurant and patio can be reserved for a private event.
