Hailing from Mexico City’s Colonia Juarez, Handshake Speakeasy brings its cutting-edge mixology to Chicago. Bar Director Eric van Beek has crafted a menu focused on inventive cocktails made with rare and aged spirits.
Highlights include unique drinks such as the Salt -n- Pepper (Ilegal Mezcal, strawberry, habanero, and salt), the Earl Grey (Bombay Sapphire Gin with Earl Grey tea and sake), and the Butter Mushroom Old Fashioned (bourbon, brown butter, mushroom, and maple).
The lounge’s glamorous design, by Kehoe Designs, reflects a bejeweled theme in honor of the hotel’s 35th anniversary. The sophisticated space features emerald tones, plush velvet seating, and whimsical accents, including a “Sands of Time” bathtub filled with crystals.
The experience begins with Champagne at the 7th-floor Adorn Bar, followed by a guided journey to the transformed secret lounge on the 46th floor.
Reservations for this exclusive speakeasy experience are required and can be made via Tock. The club will remain open through March 1, 2025.
