Esquire by Cooper’s Hawk to close in Gold Coast – NBC Chicago

Wine-focused restaurant chain Cooper’s Hawk is set to close its only Chicago location, according to Crain’s Chicago Business.

Esquire by Cooper’s Hawk, located in the former Esquire Theater in the Gold Coast district of the city, is different from other Cooper’s Hawk locations as it has a tasting room and a three-story wine tower, offering Chicago’s largest wine collection.

The restaurant, which opened in 2019, is scheduled to close on July 17. Coopers Hawk, which is based in the suburb of Downers Grove, was founded in 2005 and “built on the belief that food and wine have the power to forge lasting bonds”, according to its website.

Cooper’s Hawk operates a total of 14 locations in the Chicago area, including those in Gurnee, Morton Grove, and Orland Park.
