Ox Bar & Hearth is set to open in Chicago with a new name, previously called Brick and Mortar. Situated at the historic address of the former German restaurant Golden Ox, which was beloved from 1921 to 2014, the restaurant aims to create a communal dining experience. Owners John Asbaty and Alain Uy will focus on live fire cooking with Midwest influences, emphasizing that simple food can be exciting. Hiring is underway as preparations continue for the anticipated summer opening.
The name change from Brick and Mortar to Ox Bar & Hearth reflects a desire to honor Chicago’s culinary past while innovating for the future.
Ownership aims to foster a communal atmosphere inspired by London's tradition of pub naming, integrating animals with comfort and craftsmanship.
