Part of the eve revolving Element Collective, RH Champagne Lounge is a boutique spirits bar operated by Jason Wagner, a former wine director of Michelin star chef Joel Robuchon. The opulent boutique bar is found on the edge of a cobblestone backstreet space that leads to a striking interior that bubbles to life though a gilded strategy of pendant chandeliers and grand design details that make a bottle of Krug feel perfectly at home. More about substance than trend, expect a curated wine and spirits experience on the lines of a Parisian wine salon but with a far younger and hipper Chicago crowd.
