KLEINER’S LATEST:
33 CLUB
Chicago’s celebrated Jerry Kleiner releases details about his much-anticipated “Wells Street project” currently scheduled to open Monday, July 20.
Says Kleiner, “This is something I’ve never done before. I want to give everyone the feeling of the things I dreamt about as a child when my family came to this country. 33 Club will provide a luxurious, private club feel in the heart of the Old Town neighborhood. I want to recreate the energy of the grand old clubs of yesterday and make them accessible for all to enjoy today – without the price tag.”
The Restaurant
The design is something totally new for Jerry Kleiner. Inspired by “grand old European hotels and clubs,” the restaurant features 20-foot tall, mahogany ceilings and walls, wooden and mosaic herringbone flooring and a grand staircase complete with custom made railings and rugs.
Kleiner, and his team of skilled carpenters, headed by Kazinierz Pudzisz, designed and carved the millwork on sight.
Separating the main dining area from the front, a 20 foot tall mahogany and glass back bar acts as a vast sculptural display of product and antiques. Also included in the front bar area is a fireplace and brass coach lights.
Carefully selected artwork includes a l2-foot painting by world-renowned local artist Wesley Kimler that hangs amidst other unique drawings, paintings and photographs from Kleiner’s collection.
Kleiner specifically chose this location in the heart of the city. Surrounded by diverse neighborhoods, 33 Club will be a melting pot for all communities. The Chef Chef Daniel Kelly and Jerry Kleiner worked closely together to create an affordable but elegant menu of updated classics. Kelly comes to Old Town from Wheeling where he was working with the celebrated Rick Tramonto perfecting steakhouse fare at Tramonto’s Steak and Seafood.
Previously, Kelly had been Executive Chef at Avenue M, the popular steakhouse in Chicago’s trendy River West neighborhood. There he created a well-received menu including specialties like the coveted house-made potato chips. Before Avenue M, Chef Kelly opened his own restaurant “dk” which specialized in new Midwestern cuisine in December 2002. During his tenure at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago, Kelly cooked for presidents Clinton and George Bush Sr.The Menu
33 Club will offer cutting-edge versions of classic American fare. An upscale bar menu includes “Bar Snacks” of Deviled Eggs, Bacon Popcorn and a Citrus Cured Olive Medley all for $3. The bar menu also features sandwiches like a Matidore Steak Sandwich (for only $12) a Whitefish Hoagie ($10) and more.
The dinner menu will feature a 12 Oz. Prime Sirloin ($24), a Braised Veal Ragout ($22), Maine Lobster Stuffed Natural Chicken Breast ($26) and a Broiled Lake Superior Whitefish Filet ($18).
