What happens when a 50-year-old media company endeavors to bring together the best of the city under one roof? You get Time Out Market, a dining-and-culture experience curated and vetted by our editors. It’s a concept our Time Out Portugal team created in 2014, then launched inside the city’s historic market, Mercado da Ribeira. With eight bars, a dozen shops, a high-end music venue and 24 restaurants—from the best burger spot and the top steak joint to the tastiest sushi sensation—Lisbon’s finest eateries are all represented. This unique mix of traditional and trendy is something you’ll find only at Time Out Market Lisbon. Across the Atlantic, Time Out Market Chicago picks up the baton and introduces the Second City to its own version of this tried-and-true concept right in the heart of the historic Fulton Market District. Spread across 50,000 square feet, the curated dining destination packs 18 eateries, three bars, a demo kitchen, a rooftop terrace and a video-installation wall into one space that encompasses the best food, drinks and culture that Chicago has to offer. As in its Lisbon predecessor, the Chicago outpost follows a simple rule when it comes to curation: If it’s good, it goes in the magazine; if it’s great, it goes in the market. A meal at Time Out Market Chicago means you’re truly digging your fork into the city’s most delicious dishes, cooked by some of the most decorated chefs in the Midwest. What you’ll find inside is a hand-selected array of everything you could want to eat, drink and see in Chicago, all under one roof.

    Time Out Market offers a unique food-hall experience with an impressive range of high-quality options, and I have enjoyed my experience each time I go. The vendors provide everything from creative small plates to standout desserts, and each dish I tried was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. It is a great event space with multiple floors, each offering a different vibe from the other. The staff in the market were also very friendly and welcoming. I also appreciated the clean, open layout, which made it easy to explore different kitchens without feeling crowded. Overall, Time Out Market is a great spot for groups or anyone looking for a diverse range of food in a lively setting.

    We recently had our engagement party here and throughout the process, we felt very support and had open, consistent communication! Tiffany (event coordinator) was always on top of answering my questions and Benito (day of contact) was very helpful. We enjoyed our time at Time Out and having the Stadium space to host our guests. Thank you again for being a part of our next chapter!

    Time Out Market Chicago is a great spot if you want to experience some of the city’s best chefs and dishes all under one roof. The space is huge, modern, and lively, with plenty of communal seating and a rooftop deck that’s perfect for warmer evenings. There’s a wide variety of food options — from gourmet burgers to international cuisine — and everything I tried was fresh and flavorful. It can get a bit crowded during peak hours, and prices are on the higher side, but the overall vibe and quality make it worth it. It’s an ideal place to hang out with friends, try new dishes, and enjoy some great cocktails in a fun atmosphere.

    Time Out Market is one of the truly outstanding dining options in Chicago. Whether it's for a date night or feeding 50 hungry high-school students, TOM is a fantastic choice. The dining options are amazing, the vibe is hip and the price fits for what you're getting. Staff and management are awesome!

    I went on a Sunday evening, and unfortunately, my experience at the bar was very disappointing. When I approached the bartender to ask about the types of wine available, he responded with “What you want,” in a very unprofessional and dismissive tone. His name was Tim. The way he spoke made me feel uncomfortable, as if I were in an unwelcoming or hostile environment. He seemed overwhelmed and carried a negative attitude that set a bad tone for the bar.Thankfully, a female bartender whos name I got Alondra was helping other guests noticed and came over to assist me and my family. She was kind, professional, and provided a brief selection of wines for us to choose from. I thanked her for her hospitality and told her I admired her professionalism, especially given the difficult work environment she seemed to be in.It’s unfortunate that people like Tim, who lack basic hospitality and respect, are allowed behind the bar. His attitude not only reflected poorly on the establishment but also felt discriminatory I couldn’t help but feel that I was being treated differently because I am latino and my English isn’t perfect. No guest should ever feel that way.
