Why Start a Supper Club?
“We started Tortoise Supper Club because it has all the ingredients we love in a night out – Great Food, Craft Cocktails, Live Jazz in a sophisticated, lively atmosphere.
We wanted a restaurant where you could start your night, come for a nightcap or spend the entire evening. We were inspired by Holly Go Lightly’s swanky cocktail party in the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”
A night of endless possibilities
Live Jazz in Chicago
Experience the sounds of Jazz Age elegance.
No two jazz shows are alike. No two nights at the Tortoise Supper Club are the same. With live jazz on the weekends, you’ll be treated to a night of classic Sinatra style jazz in the background as you clink your glasses. Our house trio is part of your experience: never too loud, never too soft, and always inventive.
