About Ballyhoo Hospitality
Ballyhoo Hospitality is a real estate operator headquartered in Chicago, IL. Ballyhoo Hospitality operates in Chicago, Illinois. Its investment focus is on Hospitality.
Ballyhoo Hospitality was established in 2009, when founders Ryan and Anna O’Donnell opened their first restaurant, Gemini, in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Since then, the group has grown deliberately. As of mid‑2024, Ballyhoo operates around 10 restaurants. By early 2025, the number had risen to approximately 11 locations, including recent openings of Petit Pomeroy in River North and additional Sophia Steak sites. Ballyhoo’s real estate focus centers on restaurant development across both Chicago city neighborhoods and the North Shore suburbs. They anchor standalone restaurants, often serving as the primary dining tenant in mixed‑use or residential‑retail developments. For example, in the One Winnetka project, Ballyhoo is developing a 6,700 sq ft location designed to seat 200 indoors and 40 outdoors.
