Chicagoland's First City Works Opening In Schaumburg

SCHAUMBURG, IL— The first City Works location for the Chicagoland area will open in Schaumburg next month under General Manager Paul Williams. Chicago-based Bottleneck Management announced Wednesday in a release the new restaurant, located at 1850 E. Gold Road, will bring an extensive craft beer list of more than 90 local, regional and global craft beers, in addition to "classic American cuisine with chef-driven twists" to the area in late February. This will be the pour house and eatery's eighth location throughout the country.

According to a release, the new City Works location features a 5,300 square-foot patio with an indoor and outdoor bar, a jumbo 130" HDTV, a bocce court, and 9,200 square feet interior part of the restaurant with seating for 158, bar seating for 23, 11 65" and four 110" HDTVs. Bottleneck Management adds the restaurant also has a private event space with a 110" HDTV that can accommodate up to 50 people and 36 for a seated event.

Roughly 40 percent of City Works' draft selection is sourced from breweries around the Chicagoland area. The draft system also extends to eight varieties of draft wine (wine on tap), which the company said contributes to zero waste, as the draft provides no oxidation and no corkage, therefore reducing spoilage.

According to a release, City Works' food menu is overseen by Executive Chef James Jung, and is almost entirely made from scratch, focusing on "fresh ingredients and brilliant flavors and offers guests a wide selection of options for a business lunch, a dinner date, or game-watching snacks and bites." The menu also features several gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options suiting all dietary needs.

Don't forget about brunch, which is also offered on the weekends until 3 p.m., featuring items like Stuffed French Toast, Short Rib Hash, Biscuits and Gravy, the monster 20 oz. goblet that is the Churchill Bloody Mary, "featuring a spicy house Bloody Mary mix and Tito’s Handmade Vodka, crowned with grilled shrimp and a skewer loaded with cubed pepper jack cheese, cornichon, cherry tomato, Gibson cocktail onion, and a Slim Jim stir stick."

Hours of operation will be 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday-Thursday, and 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
