Highland Park & Ravinia District,
Some opportunities feel bigger than business. They feel like another home.
This is one of them…
Today, we are beyond proud and emotional to share that Bean Bar, Eataco and Next-Door Lounge will be expanding its 2nd locations to Ravinia District in Highland Park.
Expanding into a new community is something we don’t take lightly. It’s a privilege, and it’s something we know has to be earned. Our promises stay true. That we’ll show up every day with the same passion, care, community focus, and hospitality that built our restaurant group from the beginning.
What makes this location even more exciting is that we’ll be merging together Bean Bar and our sister concept, Next Door Lounge. It’s been a lifetime goal and a vision of ours to create one space that is an lday destination. One that grows with the day.
BEAN BAR x lounge, a place where you can meet a friend in the morning, have lunch with family, get some work done, celebrate over dinner, or end the night with a great cocktail. More than anything, we want it to be a place that feels like home for you as well.
None of this would be possible without the people who recognized our commitment and vision. Thank you to the Village of Highland Park for welcoming us with open arms and making any form of communication and partnership seamless so far. Thank you to Adam Saffro, Chad Saffro, Michael Hagenson, and Lyle Schachter for making us feel like family already.
Highland Park community, we thank you in advance for giving us the opportunity to become a small part of your neighborhood. We know we have big shoes to fill, but we promise we’ll give this community everything we have. We’ll work hard every day to earn your trust, your support, and hopefully a place in your daily lives.
From Team BEAN BAR, NEXT-DOOR and EATACO,
We cannot wait to welcome you into our second home.
See you in 2027, Highland Park. 💙🤍
