About Us
Today, the debate of cooking as “artform or craft” wages late into the night at many of Chicago’s most venerable watering holes. We tend to think it can be both. But, this is of little importance to us. The Dawson recreates the pioneering, artistic, and straightforward attitude of William and Henry Dawson by providing a restaurant, bar, and gathering place that celebrates the craft of food, drink and hospitality.
