UNDERGROUND COCKTAIL CLUB
champagne towers, craft cocktails and chinked ice blocks. choreographed live performances + gatsby-worthy good times…
nightlife impresario billy dec had a clear vision for underground cocktail club, a new, next-level nightclub in river north. to bring the polish and pizzaz—and all that jazz—the underground crew tapped PROjECT. for a sensorial design plan with a rip-roaring yet refined vibe.
saturated in vibrant colors and gilded to the max was the m.o. here, and we leaned into radical craftsmanship + luxe materials from the entryway to the main stage. cloaked in a patina of romanticism, things get moody in the alley thanks to an old chicago glass block wall + flickering street lamps.
inside, a surprisingly light and feminine space unfolds: think crushed velvet upholstery, rose gold mirrors, curious light fixtures, feather plumes, peekaboo palms and a ceiling that’s peppered with parasols.
all in, cocktail club is the cat’s meow if we do say so ourselves—a dolled up, nifty playground for high hats + cool cats to get rebellious and find freedom of expression.
