“Iconic Restaurant at PUBLIC”

Located at PUBLIC Chicago. The iconic Pump Room reimagined with menus by award-winning chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The Pump Room restaurant offers reasonably priced, delicious favorites in a relaxed, comfortable and exciting environment. The new food concept was created by world-renowned chef and 2011 James Beard award winner Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Original Pump Room menu classics were re-invented and re-created by Jean-Georges providing his special touch and amazing style. He will support local purveyors, regional flavors and offer a "farm to table" experience, as well as a daily special chef's tasting menu of the most unique creations for a real surprising, theatrical, fun and unique food experience. At night, the restaurant's bar transforms into a supper club recapturing the glamour of the 30's and 40's with a modern twist. Offerings include late night tapas style food including Asian, Indian, and other exotic global specialties; local, domestic and international draught and bottled beer; exotic, specialty cocktails by our own mixologist, and great music.

the pump room has some history in chicago ... it originally opened in 1938. since then, various actors, musicians & various other celebrities have dined there. however, both the hotel & restaurant were renovated & revamped in 2011.

and since then : "original pump room menu classics were reinvented & recreated by [world-renowned chef & 2011 james beard award winner] jean-georges vongerichten, providing his special touch & amazing style ... at night, the restaurant's bar transforms into a supper club, recapturing the glamour of the 30s &40s with a modern twist." amazinggg.

important to note :
1. the server marked up all the items on the menu that could be prepared vegan.
2. some of these items may have contained honey, but i'm not sure which ones.
3. the chef was super flexible in making some of the stuff half vegan, half non-vegan. much appreciated!
