PROTEIN IS POWER

Protein Bar was founded in 2009 to provide Chicagoans a sorely needed oasis of filling, protein-rich sustenance.  Frustrated by a lack of dining options conducive to a vital, active lifestyle, founder Matt Matros invested his life-savings in what would become the very first location in downtown Chicago.

On our way to opening numerous locations we have evolved into Protein Bar and Kitchen, a flavor-forward restaurant destination dedicated as ever to our founding mission.  With a customizable menu serving all dietary needs,  we’re proud to provide delicious, nutritious, protein-packed foods for every body.
