The Loyalist

The Loyalist is a cozy New American restaurant tucked into Chicago's vibrant West Loop neighborhood at 177 N Ada Street. It is the casual sibling of Smyth, the three-Michelin-starred restaurant upstairs, and brings the same uncompromising attention to detail to approachable, neighborhood-style fare. The restaurant has earned a devoted following for its award-winning burger, praised by reviewers for its sesame seed bun and perfect balance of onions and pickles. Guests also rave about the Baba au Rhum dessert and the happy hour deal pairing a burger, beer, and a shot. The intimate, buzzing space features a seasonal patio on Ada Street and suits date nights, celebrations, and girls nights out equally well.
