About Us
Located on Clark Street in bustling River North, Storyville boasts French quarter drinks, small bites, and vibrant ambiance. Storyville features three primary dining areas: the main dining room that gives a rustic and majestic new Orleans feel with empire chandeliers; a patio with traditional New Orleans metalwork; and a speakeasy-style basement lounge, Lulu’s, with original Storyville décor.
Featured in TIME, Chicago Food Magazine, Thrillist, and many others, Storyville’s menu does not disappoint. Andouille sausage sizzles, gumbo bubbles in the pot, and the aroma of bananas caramelizing over rich vanilla ice cream fill the room, creating an atmosphere that can only be found at Storyville Chicago.
Our Fans
- Lu D. 2/06/2025My brother and I had a great experience here. We went on a Wednesday night for Restaurant week. Our waitress/hostess was amazing. If I'm not mistaken I believe she said her name was Donnie after one of their specialty drinks that my brother loved btw. The frozen Hurricane and Swamp Thing...sooo good. The food was great. We had the Chicken Étouffée Balls ..delish and the BBQ Cajun Shrimp which were also delish. Our entrees Jambalaya pasta and Creamy Cajun linguine were both delicious as well. By the time dessert came we dug right in lol. The brownie sundae was the highlight. We also had the beignets and were mixing the two desserts...yummy! Amazing experience all around and we'll definitely be back!read moreread lessChristina L. 2/04/2025We stumbled across this place last weekend on a Friday night. I live in the neighborhood and had no idea there was a Speakeasy downstairs at Storyville! I had some friends in from out of town and had been taking them around to a bunch of different hot spots. They all agreed that Lulus Speakeasy was the best place I had taken them. The bartender Hannah there really made us feel welcome and the music was on point! We ended up spending the rest of the night there because of Hannah, the music and the vibe. I will definitely be back!read moreread less
- Andrea 1/28/2025We were out for a girl’s night and were recommended to the basement of LuLu’s Speakeasy. First off, the this place definitely passes the vibe check. I had so much fun! I’m not one for martinis, but the one blonde bartender named Hanna made the most delicious martini I’ve ever had. I forgot the name of it, but I think it was a house speciality. I drink three of them before switching to regular drink! I don’t go to city often, but I’d make a special trip just to come back to this place.read moreread less
