Barrio – Chicago, IL
Opened: 2017
Barrio is Latin-inspired, embodying the color, diversity, and energy of the many barrios of Central and South America. It is at once opulent and gritty, sophisticated and irreverent, subdued and vibrant. Barrio is a kaleidoscope of patterns, shapes, and colors that are conveyed in wallpaper, decorative metal work, ceramic tile, upholstery, and glazed brick. The driving force of the design is an elegant, oval-shaped bar with a statuesque back bar that rises up and emanates rays of perforated metal beams which reach across the bar area and through the storefront to define the outdoor patio. The main dining room features opera box like cabana seating and custom reclaimed wood and zinc tables with a variety of seating options.
