Good Funk

"GoodFunk is a wine bar owned by Bonhomme and Celeste, located near Beatnik in Chicago." - Ashok Selvam

"The team behind lavishly decorated restaurant hits Beatnik, Porto, and Mama Delia doesn’t shy away from funkiness in style or wine. Such is the ethos at GoodFunk, Bonhomme Group’s natural wine bar in the former home of Cafe Bonhomme near Wacker and Lake. Drinkers can expect around five red, five white, and five skin-contact (orange and rose) wines by the glass, along with plenty of bottles that rotate regularly. A second GoodFunk outpost launched in early 2024 in West Town." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam

"Cafe Bonhomme is owned by the same people as Beatnik in West Town. And much like Beatnik, Bonhomme puts a lot of effort into its atmosphere. It’s meant to feel like a lively European cafe (so it can get a little loud), and it has an eclectic menu, with dishes like baba ghanoush, tuna tataki, and curried meatballs. Come for drinks and small plates to celebrate the end of your internship." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

"GoodFunk is the latest submission the Bonhomme Group, the local hospitality company behind popular spots like neighboring sister restaurant Beatnik on the River, Michelin-starred Porto in West Town, and Spanish restaurant and sherry bar Mama Delia in Wicker Park. This year, the team shuttered Old World-influenced Cafe Bonhomme after three years. Downtown traffic was snarled due to the pandemic and it was time to start from scratch. Perched inside the 109-year-old Great Lakes Building overlooking the Chicago River, GoodFunk aims to become a beacon for downtown drinkers looking to break their routine with an ever-changing list of unadulterated, unpretentious micro-batched wines from around the world, says Colin Hofer, director of wine and education." - Naomi Waxman

"The team behind Beatnik will revamp the former Cafe Bonhomme space into GoodFunk, a natural wine bar on the ground floor at 180 N. Wacker Drive." - aimee.levitt
