A new supper club concept called Pitch & Pour is set to open in Chicago's Fulton Market neighborhood, taking over the former InSession Soundbite Lounge space at 1239 W Lake Street. The team plans to keep the space open from morning through late night, with breakfast and brunch service, a full bar for happy hour, and evening programming built around live music.

Why it matters

The opening of Pitch & Pour adds another dining and entertainment option to the growing Fulton Market district, which has become a popular dining corridor in Chicago. The new supper club aims to capitalize on the area's track record of music-and-dining venues and appeal to the neighborhood's mix of residents, workers, and visitors.

The details

Pitch & Pour recently filed for a liquor license and is targeting a May opening, though the exact timeline is still dependent on city inspections and permitting. The early menu pitch includes breakfast sandwiches and wraps, croissant French toast, chicken & waffles, shrimp-focused plates, chargrilled oysters, and a signature wagyu burger. The 1239 W Lake space previously housed the InSession Soundbite Lounge, which had a capacity of around 350 people and hosted nightly live music acts.
