Bar Siena Old Orchard
4999 Old Orchard Shopping Center, Skokie, IL 60077, USA- Spaces for 20-350 Guests
- 7 Event Spaces
La Taverna, a charming restaurant and bar in Siena, Italy, served as a major source of inspiration for DineAmic Hospitality owners Lucas Stoioff and David Rekhson when they were developing Siena Tavern. The inspiration led to a more polished and expansive version suitable for River North. However, Stoioff and Rekhson still yearned for an Italian bar and restaurant that was more in keeping with their original concept in terms of size and liveliness. Bar Siena was established in Chicago's Fulton Market - West Loop district three years later. A second Bar Siena in Skokie's Westfield Old Orchard Mall was established in 2022. Our passionate and skilled events team is ready to plan the event of your dreams at Bar Siena, no matter the occasion or size! Browse our spaces and explore our private events guide via our website. The menu at Bar Siena, which pays homage to several Italian regions, is a little bit smaller than that at Siena Tavern and changes more frequently. The dining options at Bar Siena are perfect for customers who want to sample everything, share it all with others, and have a memorable experience.
