Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants To Debut Two New Concepts in River North

Coming Soon: A Classic American Cocktail Bar from Kevin Beary Followed by a Southeast Asian Restaurant from Chef Thai Dang

Hub 51 is closing its doors with the last evening of service on Saturday, June 8 to make way for two exciting new concepts.

The first, The Dip Inn, opening late 2024, will be a classic American cocktail bar. The drink menu will include expertly crafted, iconic drinks from Kevin Beary, Partner and award-winning Beverage Director of Three Dots and a Dash and The Bamboo Room.

The second concept, Crying Tiger, will be a Southeast Asian restaurant led by Chef and Partner Thai Dang and is slated to open in 2025. Crying Tiger will be designed in collaboration with award-winning interior architecture practice David Collins Studio, who recently designed Tre Dita at the St. Regis Chicago.

Thank you to our loyal guests and all of the hardworking people, past and present, that have made Hub 51 such a special place for more than 15 years. 

Stay tuned for more details coming soon on The Dip Inn and Crying Tiger.
