Ox Bar & Hearth

Ox Bar & Hearth is a new dining destination opening in Lincoln Park in Summer 2025, created by Chef John Asbaty and restauranteur Alain Uy. With a rich history in the culinary and hospitality industry, the duo is bringing their shared vision to life with a refreshed take on Midwestern cuisine using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a wood-burning hearth.

The warm, inviting design of the space reflects theit focus on creating a place where guests can feel at ease while enjoying food that feels both familiar and inspired.
