Bar Mar is a modern, seafood-forward Spanish restaurant located inside the Bank of America Tower on North Wacker Drive. Created by celebrity chef José Andrés, this vibrant spot blends coastal flavors with eye-catching design, offering a high-energy dining experience just steps from some of Chicago’s top music venues. Expect a playful yet polished atmosphere, inventive cocktails, and a menu that celebrates fresh seafood with a Spanish twist.
Its central location makes it incredibly convenient for grabbing a pre-show dinner or late-night bite without straying far from the action. The energetic vibe and open layout make it easy to transition from dining to dancing. Service is known for being efficient, so even if you're tight on time before a show, you can still enjoy a quality meal. Plus, the dramatic interiors and seafood towers make it a fun and photo-worthy start to your night out.
Guests consistently praise the creative cocktails, especially the whimsical gin & tonics and seafood martinis. Many highlight the Seafood Tower as a must-try for sharing, and the grilled octopus and lobster rolls get rave reviews. The decor is described as “sleek,” “whimsical,” and “Instagram-worthy,” while service is often noted as being friendly and fast, even during busy hours.
While the seafood is fresh and beautifully presented, prices can run high, especially for larger groups. The lively atmosphere may be a bit too boisterous for those seeking a quiet, intimate meal. Reservations are recommended, as it fills up quickly, particularly on concert nights.
Bar Mar is a stylish and energetic spot that delivers standout seafood and cocktails—ideal for concert-goers looking to elevate their night out in downtown Chicago.
