Staytion Market & Bar: A New American Culinary Haven in Chicago

Watch out for Pickpocket! That's all I want to remind you. Cocktail quality is better than lots of hotel or restaurant bars. Awesome bartender, but there's not much vibe as 3rd floor Lifted, and service wise Lifted is way much better, so I would suggest go to 3rd floor.

The Mac and cheese, the grilled cheese sliders and our drinks were great!

Staytion Market & Bar is a solid pick for a laid-back meal in the Loop. I stopped by for brunch and had the buttermilk pancakes and the portobello egg skillet. The pancakes were fluffy and came with warm maple syrup, while the skillet was hearty with fresh veggies and melted cheddar. The atmosphere is modern and cozy, with a full bar and TVs for catching the game. Service was friendly, though a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, a great spot for a casual bite with a view.

Staytion Market & Bar was a great surprise during my stay at the Renaissance. The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable—perfect for a casual drink or a relaxed meal. I tried the Etole chicken wings and they were absolutely fantastic, perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The service was excellent as well—the staff were attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. It’s clear they really care about their guests. Highly recommend stopping by whether you’re staying at the hotel or just looking for a great spot in downtown Chicago!

My partner and I had a staycation at a local hotel and had dinner here. Great service, food was fantastic and I loved the vibe. My partner agreed. We would like to try it again.

Staytion Market & Bar is chic yet comfortable, with great food, creative drinks, and friendly service—perfect for any occasion in downtown Chicago!

We did the sit down portion of this restaurant - towards the back with all the seating. I’m not sure if that makes a difference in my review, but for clarity. This spot is nothing short of amazing and I’ll be honest, I was hesitant since a lot of restaurants in hotels fall flat. Food was phenomenal, drinks were well-curated and the service was immaculate. A few standouts for me from the menu: • quesabirria egg rolls are unreal & so flavorful • crispy chicken torta is flavorful and so juicy • elote wings have such a good dry rub & the dipping sauce they serve with them is SO good • ube panna cotta is one of the best desserts I’ve had recently and has several different textures and flavors Highly recommend coming here even if you’re not traveling & just live in the city itself. The drinks are really good too and great for the price.

Food is the ingredient that binds us together. There's nothing you will not enjoy at Staytion Market & Bar. The food is phenomenal, and drinks are lovely. No matter if you're just at the hotel or stopping in before you go to a play, just enjoy yourself with good food and drinks. Ask for GUILLAUME, Molly sent you.
