Evanston's New Gathering Place
A Place For Everyone
Some restaurants are just places to eat.
The Spot is a place to gather.
Inspired by a beloved Evanston institution, The Spot brings together great food, great drinks, and great people in a warm, welcoming space where everyone feels at home.
Whether you’re meeting friends for cocktails, bringing the family to dinner, stopping in before a Northwestern game, or grabbing a late-night bite, there’s always a seat waiting for you.
Stay A While...
That's more than our tagline, it's an invitation to...
Built For Evanston
The Spot was designed to be the kind of place that feels familiar from your first visit.
The original Spot helped create memories for generations of Evanston residents.
We're honored to help create the next generation of those memories.
THE FOOD
Chicago Traditions. Evanston Roots.
At the center of The Spot is a commitment to great food and the people who make it.
We’re proud to serve legendary Danny’s Pizza thin crust, a South Side Chicago tradition known for its crispy crust, square-cut slices, and neighborhood following.
You’ll also find bread from D’Amato’s Bakery, J.D. Graziano’s famous giardiniera, desserts from beloved Evanston favorite Beth’s Bakery, and our exclusive Stay A While beer brewed with our friends at Sketchbook Brewing.
