Chicago’s Best Happy Hour Just Got Better - Happy Hour on the Patio at Adalina

When it comes to happy hour in Chicago, few things pair better than handcrafted cocktails, delicious bites, and a summer breeze. At Adalina, we’re elevating your after-work unwind with our exclusive $9 Happy Hour — now available al fresco on our stunning Gold Coast patio.

Whether you're sipping on an Aperol Spritz or indulging in Prosciutto-topped Gnocco Fritto, this is your new favorite spot to toast the season.

Why Adalina’s Patio Happy Hour Is a Must-Visit in Chicago

There’s no shortage of patios in Chicago, but few deliver a luxurious escape quite like Adalina. Tucked just off State Street, our patio offers an upscale yet relaxed setting perfect for post-work drinks, date night appetizers, or weekend unwinding.

Available Monday through Friday, 4–6 PM, our Happy Hour menu features a curated selection of $9 signature cocktails, wines, and small plates that blend Italian tradition with modern flair.

The $9 Bites You’ll Want to Order Again (and Again). Every dish on our Happy Hour menu is crafted with high-quality ingredients and bold flavor:

  • Gnocco Fritto – Pillowy fried dough with 24-month aged Prosciutto di San Daniele, whipped ricotta, and Mieli Thun honey.

  • Meatballs – Classic Italian comfort with Scamorza, Pomodoro, and EVOO.

  • Arancini – Crisp on the outside, rich with Parmigiano and Pecorino inside.

  • Shrimp Cocktail – A refreshing classic with housemade cocktail sauce.

  • Polenta Cake – Creamy, crispy, and finished with arrabbiata sauce and whipped ricotta.

  • Chips & Prosciutto – A salty-crunchy combo made luxurious with Parmesan and aged prosciutto.

  • Quattro Formaggi Bread Service – A garlic-stuffed cheese bomb that speaks for itself.

  • $2 Oysters – Because no patio happy hour in Chicago is complete without them.

  • Classic Martini (Bombay Sapphire or Grey Goose)
