Wolf & Company Brings Bucktown's First-Ever 606 Trail-Access Restaurant to North Western Avenue

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Bucktown · February 26, 2026

Bucktown's dining scene just got a major upgrade — and a one-of-a-kind outdoor perk. Wolf & Company, the ambitious new concept from the team behind neighborhood favorites Little Bad Wolf and Gretel, has opened its doors at 1752 N. Western Avenue, and it's already turning heads across Chicago's food world.

What makes this spot truly singular: it's tucked into a bi-level, 10,000-square-foot space with rare direct access to The 606 trail — making it the only restaurant in the entire city where diners can step straight from their meal onto the beloved elevated greenway. The ground floor features Executive Chef Graham Akroyd's housemade pastas, steaks, and the group's cult-favorite burger, while the bar program — led by Clare Andrejek and Woody Tauke — leans into creative, savory-forward cocktails. Head upstairs and you'll find a café and lounge pouring coffee from Hexe and Big Shoulders, housemade pastries, and rare teas, all just steps from a patio that opens directly onto The 606. The concept also incorporates an all-day café, a market, and an in-house butcher under one spectacular roof.

For Bucktown residents who already love the 606 as a community hub, Wolf & Company offers a natural new gathering point year-round. Whether you're finishing a winter trail run or planning a warm-weather patio outing when the seasons turn, this is a destination worth adding to your regular rotation. Stop in, explore the menu, and experience what may become Bucktown's most talked-about new address.
