Gold Coast Social occupies a prime address at 7 W Division St in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood — one of the city's most storied and active nightlife corridors, running alongside Rush Street and bordered by Lincoln Park and Lake Shore Drive.

Tuesday through Saturday, the venue flips to an evening lounge and music venue, with Industry Tuesdays, We Outside Wednesdays, and recurring DJ and live music events drawing a loyal following from the Chicago hospitality industry and Gold Coast nightlife crowd.
The venue rates 4 out of 5 on Google across more than 547 reviews and 3.8 on OpenTable across 68 reservations. Private events, VIP table reservations, and guest list signups are all managed through goldcoastsocialchi.com.
