A lively café, restaurant and bar where American classics meet global comfort food, well-traveled cocktails and natural wines.

Calling all poets, pilgrims & punks.

A third space for locals, Expat draws inspiration from the cultural hotspots of the 1950s to create a café, restaurant, and bar in Chicago’s West Loop. 

Designed for those longing for the flavors of home or craving something unexpected, Expat serves American café classics alongside global comfort food, offering a culinary passport to destinations near and far.

Paired with well-traveled cocktails and a curated selection of natural wines, Expat imagines the singular delights one might crave after time away — whether inspired by home or their journeys abroad.
