Dusk is an experience from the team at Northworks Architects & Planners, who have collaborated with some of Chicago restauranteurs to bring their concepts to life - Ada Street, Tortoise Supper Club, Split Rail and more - and this new concept is their first foray into the hospitality industry themselves. Dusk is open Thursdays and Fridays from 4 to 10 p.m. 

Designed first as an art gallery, the space morphs into a bar in the evening, at dusk, as it’s appropriately named. The design juxtaposes natural and industrial elements -- green couches, leather chairs and wood furnishings against an exposed ceiling and concrete floors --  to create a contemporary look that allows the pieces of art throughout the space to serve as the focal point. The 2,100-square-foot-space is bookended by floor-to-ceiling casement windows and offers varied seating arrangements throughout, anchored by a 25-foot-long bar. 

The bar welcomes patrons to order a selection of signature cocktails as curated as the collection on display. The menu features 7 hand-crafted offerings including The Lodge, The Sand Valley, The Desert Retreat, The Aspen, The Greystone, each inspired by one of Northworks most impressive architectural projects from around the country. The menu also features local and craft beers as well as a selection of wines.
