The Warbler
Chicago, IL

Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Sign reading 'The Warbler Lincoln Square' with a light background and black text.
A restaurant interior with a white brick wall decorated with a geometric leaf pattern. There are two booths with tan leather seats separated by tall black dividers, and tables set for two with pink glasses and small plants.

Sister restaurant to neighborhood favorite Gather, The Warbler arrives as a light and airy, elevated casual spot to grab a quick bite before a movie, or a leisurely few drinks on a weekend afternoon on the patio.

The name is inspired by one of Chicago’s common neighborhood birds — there are numerous varieties of warblers that call Chicago home — their song a familiar sound throughout leafy neighborhoods in the warmer months. The chatter of the warblers mimics the bonhomie of friends and family enjoying great company, food and drink, taking in the lengthening afternoons under dappled light.

The Warbler’s identity captures a casual elegance, with a pairing of dramatic type styles and geometric forms that mimic the dappled light as it falls through the trees on to Lincoln Avenue.
