According to an article from Chicago Food Magazine, Castaways will soon rebrand as Castaways Beach Club, reopening at 1603 N Lake Shore Drive.
“Situated on North Avenue Beach (1603 N. Lakeshore Dr.), the boat-shaped seasonal restaurant has been a Chicago lakefront destination for over two decades. The refreshed Castaways aims to bring the nostalgia, energy, and excitement patrons knew and loved for many years with a modernized and fresh approach,” a press release from Castaways sent to What Now Chicago states.
According to the article, “Stefani Restaurant Group announced the debut of Castaways Beach Club (formerly Castaways Bar & Grill) Memorial Day weekend. It will reopen with a new name, look, food and beverage offerings, and additional seating as well as private event options.”
“The refreshed Castaways will include revamped dining decks, bar areas, patio space, and multiple cabanas available for rent and private events. The two-level Castaways spanning 22,000 sq. feet is set for all occasions – from offering sit-down dining options to a cabana deck with bottle service, bands, and DJs.”
“Although the North End Club will be reserved for patrons 21+, Castaway’s will still be family-friendly in the restaurant portion. The beach house will also see upgrades to furniture, lighting fixtures, color schemes, and layout.”
“The lakefront is Chicago’s front yard and Castaways has long been part of that – we are thrilled to deliver a new and refreshed experience this summer,” said owner Anthony Stefani in the Chicago Food Magazine article. “We can confidently share that Castaways Beach Club will bring an unparalleled summertime experience to our city and we cannot wait to welcome everyone aboard!”
