Happy's: A Holiday Pop-Up Bar in The Tank

The Chicago Athletic Association hotel, Johalla Projects, and Land and Sea Dept. present Happy’s, the latest installment of the hotel’s “mini-bar” series opening, Friday December 1, in The Tank on the hotel’s ground floor.

The bar will be open from 5 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and from 12-5 p.m. on Sundays through December 30. Guests can expect a celebration of holiday cheer and everything that comes with it- comfort, joy, and good old times. Programming includes DJ nights, karaoke, trivia, live music, and more. Each Sunday will feature family-friendly programming, so guests are invited to bring the little ones while the adults enjoy a beer (or two) and the kids have some holiday fun- including a visit from Santa himself.

The bar, designed by Chicago-based art gallery Johalla Projects and operated by Land and Sea Dept., features a menu of festive cocktails by Land and Sea Dept. beverage director Paul McGee, as well as beer and wine.
