WolfCo. Café & Bar 606: Chicago’s Elevated Spot for Coffee, Market, Cocktails, and Culinary Firepower

Chicago’s got no shortage of coffee joints, cocktail dens, and pizza palaces—but WolfCo. Café and its upstairs sibling, Bar 606, are rewriting the script.

Just steps from The 606 trail, WolfCo. Café isn’t your average neighborhood stop. This is where meticulously crafted lattes collide with cold-pressed juices, fresh smoothies, and daily-baked pastries that actually taste like someone gave a damn. Their syrups? Made in-house. Their teas? Refreshing without being boring. It’s the kind of place that fuels your post-trail stroll—or your daily grind—with style.

Downstairs, Wolf & Company’s full-service restaurant turns it up. Executive Chef Graham Akroyd is slinging a menu that smashes Neapolitan into New Haven pizzas, alongside signature burgers, house-made pastas, steaks, and seafood. The vibe? Industrial-chic with a touch of warmth—basically, the kind of room you don’t want to leave. Throw in curated wines, local craft beers, and cocktails that punch above their weight, and you’ve got a hangout that’s as versatile as it is inviting.

And it doesn’t stop there. The in-house grocer is stacked with local, organic, and small-batch goods—everything from curated cheeses to seasonal produce. Think of it as your corner store’s cooler, more sustainable older cousin.

But the crown jewel? Bar 606. Perched above The 606, this sleek, 20-seat lounge delivers sweeping views of the city and trail, with a rotating lineup of cocktails that keep regulars guessing. It’s the spot where Chicago’s grit meets glamour—an elevated hideaway built for late-night conversations and perfectly poured drinks.

WolfCo. isn’t just another café-bar hybrid—it’s a neighborhood hub that knows how to do it all, and do it right.
