Briny Swine Chicago is a seaside-inspired smokehouse and oyster bar in the heart of Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood featuring Carolina-style barbeque, seafood and Lowcountry classics, served with a side of sass. It’s a local joint where friends and family gather to laugh and forget about life in the big city while they get in on some Southern hospitality and good eatin'. Rosé, bourbon, cocktails and beer are aplenty...and on a steady flow.

Whether you’re on vacation, passing by after a long day of work or catchin’ the big game, Briny is that place where all are welcome, from all parts, and no one cares about the rest.

Y’all, leave your worries at the door, take a seat, enjoy fine swine, wine and oysters while listening to the sweet sounds of rock, blues, jazz, bluegrass and honkey tonk.

We’ll take care of the rest.

    The She Crab tasted like gravy, not soup. I would have thought that a company based in South Carolina would have known how to make this wonderful dish. Th brisket was pretty bland. It was nice to have a choice between lean and a faty cut. The Mac and Cheese was awful. It was dry and unappetizing. The okra was terrific.

    Hi there Vincent. Thank you for taking the time to visit Briny. We're sorry to read that the food fell so short of your expectations. We take all your feedback to heart, and hope you'll give us another try in the future.

    Really salty… the food was not very good. I love BBQ, but they miss the mark here. Beautiful space. Service was good. Price was very expensive for what they gave us.
