About the restaurant
Currently only accepting reservations for parties of 6-16 online. Reservations for parties greater than 8 are very limited and large parties might be split into multiple tables. Please walk-in for small party availability.

At Piece Brewery, the spirit of piece, love, and harmony are infused into every bite and sip. Nestled in a skylit loft, this vibrant establishment seamlessly unites the flavors of award-winning, New Haven-style thin-crust pizza with the the longest continuously-operating and most award-winning brewpub in Chicago, a tradition that has been upheld since 2001.

Whether you're savoring a slice of our renowned pies or sampling our diverse range of house brews, every visit promises a symphony of taste and community. As the sun sets, the atmosphere transforms into a lively sports-bar setting, creating an unforgettable experience where great food, great brews, and great entertainment converge.

Oliver was phenomenal he served both food and drinks to the entire upstairs patrons by himself. I was really impressed with him, he truly deserves a raise! I will strongly suggest the air conditioning to be fixed upstairs as it was scorching hot. However air was fine on lower level.

About the restaurant
Located on the 7th floor rooftop of The Emily Hotel in Chicago’s Fulton Market District, Selva is a rooftop lounge inspired by the energy of Mexico by night. Stylishly moody and intriguingly vibrant, it's here you’ll find an elevated list of handcrafted cocktails that transport you to another place and a menu of casual fare to savor over shared stories and rounds of mezcal.

It was our first time at selva. The music was great especially if people like reggaeton or Latino music. We surprisingly went Thursday night which they have happy hour from 9 pm - 12 am. We tried various drinks and appetizers. All were great. Great staff and service 🔥 They have a fire area outside plus a great view of a cinema on the side. I definitely will recommend this place to others. I am definetly coming back to this spot 💯
