Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants at Stony Creek Promenade in Oak Lawn will open its doors May 18.

The restaurant, at 4830 West 111th Street, will be the 19th Cooper’s Hawk location.

A job fair to help hire staff for the new restaurant will take place April 6 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and April 7 from 1 to 6 p.m. at Stony Creek Golf Course, 5850 W. 103rd St, Oak Lawn, according to a news release.

Cooper’s Hawk has also partnered with the Oak Lawn Jobs Program, according to the village.

Full-time and part-time positions are available, including kitchen staff, houseworkers, tasting room attendants, servers, hosts and bartenders. Interested candidates who aren’t able to attend the job fair may also apply online.

“I am honored to be opening our 19th Cooper’s Hawk location in Oak Lawn and am thrilled to extend our community in an area so close to where I grew up.” said Tim McEnery, Cooper’s Hawk’s Founder and CEO, in a statement. “We’re looking to find 200 friendly team members in the area who are passionate about food and wine and interested in pursuing an opportunity with the Cooper’s Hawk family.”

The Oak Lawn Cooper’s Hawk will have a modern contemporary design influenced by the architecture of Napa and Sonoma in California.

Ron Dee, senior vice president of development at Cooper’s Hawk, said in December that this restaurant will be “very different” from the other six Cooper’s Hawk locations in the Chicago area.

The wine tasting bar, which is usually straight or L-shaped, will curve in a U-shape to encourage social and visual interaction at wine tastings.

Cooper’s Hawk opened its first site in Orland Park in 2005. The restaurant group now has locations throughout Illinois, Florida, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana and Wisconsin.

Founded by McEnry, a south suburban native, Cooper’s Hawk has earned more than 300 wine awards and was named “Breakout Brand 2013” and “Hot Concept 2010” Winner by Nation’s Restaurant News. Cooper’s Hawk was also selected as a MenuMasters Winner in the category of “Menu Trendsetter” and was ranked the eighth fastest-growing Chicago company by Crain’s Chicago Business for 2013. McEnery was named Ernst & Young’s Midwest Entrepreneur of the Year.
