Call the Office, Your Drink is Ready
Actually, text it. Grant Achatz finally did away with the secrecy around getting into The Office, the exclusive "speakeasy" in the basement of The Aviary (955 W. Fulton Market), with a tweet yesterday. You're now free to text your reservation requests.
Who is interested to going to the Office at 6 pm any night this coming week? If you are, text your request to this number-- (312) 972-7641

To be sure, there wasn't much of a secret to getting into the Office at this point, and in my own experience, it's actually relatively easy to get an "invitation," provided you're not trying on Friday or Saturday night after 8pm or so. Next time you're at the Aviary, just ask your server and he or she will check with the manager to see if there's room for your party. Be prepared: the prices are higher than Aviary across the board, so if an $18 In the Rocks upstairs gives you pause, the room downstairs isn't for you.
