Avant-Garde Libation Rooftop Lounges

Apogee Challenges New Approaches of Crafting Cocktails

— May 16, 2019 — Lifestyle
Chicago's Apogee is rooted in creating cocktails that are 'out of this world' and is located at a rooftop lounge. The avant-garde approach to creating these libations push for progression in the industry and each drink is given just as much attention as any Michelin star restaurant.

The mixologists ensure that every cocktail served is of its highest quality, and rest in unique hand-blown glassware and vessels. Apogee also produces its own herbs and flowers, caring for the product on a daily basis. It drew in the assistance of local design studio blocHaus to create the overall design concept by capturing a strong inspiration of the Chicago evening cityscape. The lounge is decorated with plush textiles, brass inlay, marble-clad walls, and more.
