The Lighthouse Lounge, a bar at Germania Club Building within Chicago's Immersive Van Gogh, originally only accessible by exhibition ticket-holders, is now expanding entry for the public to visit. On Friday, October 15 from 7-11pm, guests are welcome to live performances by local jazz musicians, passed hors d'oeuvres will be served on-the-house, along with a glass of prosecco upon entry. Specialty cocktails available for purchase as well.
The recently renovated lounge that previously only welcomed exhibition guests, offers wall-to-wall windows, emerald and gold tones, dim lighting and cozy seating, the modern design contrasts Germania Club's 19th century architecture.
"The staff at The Lighthouse Lounge looks forward to expanding our guest list and getting to know more of Chicago's diverse city and the local residents," said Lounge Manager Gena Shabshis. "The space is a great option for hosting office outings and get-togethers and we look forward to bringing those events to life in our venue."
The full-service bar offers signature cocktails named after the artwork of Vincent van Gogh, including the Starry Night (Tito’s vodka, lime juice, Chambord, peach nectar), the Van Gogh Sunrise (Don Julio Blanco, orange juice, splash of grenadine, cherry garnish) and the Sevilla French (Tanqueray Seville gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, orange bitters topped with Taittinger champagne). Fine desserts imported from Italy are also offered, including a variety of cakes, gelato, waffles, eclairs, bomboloni, bacio di dama and homemade cookies all provided by Bindi dessert distributors.
With regularly scheduled weekly events to be announced in the future, a wine tasting hosted by BreakThru Beverage Group will be held October 26th from 7-9pm. The upcoming “Taste of Italy” tasting offers 15-20 wine selections, including Agricola Punica Montessu, Michele Chiarlo Tortoniano Barolo, Michele Chiarlo Gavi, Sette Ponti Crognolo, Biserno Insoglio. Italian style hor d’oeuvres and jazz musicians will also accompany the tasting. Tickets will soon be available for $80 at vangoghchicago.com.
The lounge is accessible through the Immersive Van Gogh entrance, located on the second floor of Germania Club Building (108 W Germania Place). The Immersive Van Gogh exhibition is accessible for ticket-holders after a viewing of the projection show or as part of a VIP package, though those entering The Lighthouse Lounge do not have access to the gallery area without a purchased ticket.
