The Top 7 Steakhouses Near PostBoy
-
Rank 1. Asador Bastian
Basque-inspired Steakhouse
Basque-style grilling doesn't have a lot of outposts in the Midwest, but Asador Bastian makes a serious case for Chicago as a place that gets it. This is a chophouse built around fire, aged beef, and the kind of quiet confidence that doesn't need to announce itself. The crowd tends toward people who've thought about where their steak came from. Ranked among the top steak restaurants in North America, and it shows.

Rank 2. Maple & Ash
Steakhouse
This Gold Coast steakhouse doubles as a party, which is either your scene or it isn't, but it probably is. Wood-fired dry-aged steaks are the main event, though the seafood holds its own too. The room runs multilevel with leather couches, clubby music, and a photo booth, so dress accordingly. First-daters, birthday tables, and people who definitely expensed it fill the place out nicely.

Rank 3. Bavette's Bar & Boeuf
Steakhouse
Bavette's nails the thing most steakhouses get wrong: it actually feels fun. Think speakeasy, not expense account, with exposed brick, mismatched lighting, and leather sofas packed with people who are clearly having a better night than wherever you almost went instead. The steaks are expertly done, the raw bar holds its own, and the room is loud enough that nobody hears you order the steak frites twice.

Rank 4. Bazaar Meat
Spanish-Influenced Steakhouse
-
Rank 5. RPM Steak
Steakhouse
RPM Steak is the kind of upscale steakhouse where everyone looks like they just closed a deal and dressed for it. The bi-level room is all marble, dark wood, and low light, with a wraparound bar at the center and semicircular booths that are worth angling for. The menu runs from Japanese cuts to American classics, the wine list is serious, and the steaks are the reason you came.
-
Rank 6. Prime & Provisions
Steakhouse
A big, loud steakhouse that earns every bit of its swagger, Prime & Provisions is where finance guys loosen their ties and pretend they're in a Scorsese film. The barrel-vaulted ceilings, chandelier light, and a two-story wine tower set the tone immediately. Dry-aged beef is the whole point, the room is genuinely dramatic, and the bacon starter alone is worth the trip. Dress sharp and bring a group.

Rank 7. Chicago Cut
Steakhouse
A proper riverfront steakhouse where the beef is butchered and dry-aged in-house, so you're not just paying for the view, though the Chicago River backdrop doesn't hurt. The room is all leather and warm wood, packed with suits who've loosened their ties and the occasional power couple splitting a bone-in something. Sides are exactly what you want them to be, the wine list is serious, and the service knows what it's doing.
