Gilt Bar releases one new date at a time. Its own Resy listing says: "Reservations are available up to 21 days in advance, with each new day becoming available at 9 AM." Each morning at 9 AM a new date comes into range, 21 days out, so the date you want becomes bookable 21 days before it at 9 AM.
That makes 9 AM the moment that decides each date. Anything that opens up for that date after the release is usually a cancellation.
Our latest reading, dated 19 October 2026, showed a bookable table for two on 53% of the dates in Gilt Bar's booking window, and 67% for four, across 52,691 checks. The figure describes how often a table was showing when we looked, not how hard the release morning is.
Treat that reading as early. Chicago joined our tracker in late September 2026, so it rests on a small number of checks rather than months of history, and it will move as more accumulate. We track 68 Chicago restaurants in total.
