Chit Chat Lounge

Legend has it that this space, a basement hidden below a restaurant space, was once storage for a Prohibition-era bootleggers' operation. Whether or not that’s true, Chit Chat Lounge definitely has a mysterious allure. We made the most of the high vaulted ceilings by installing 90 hanging pendants. The oak walls, velvet upholstery, and hidden details create a similar feel to a 1970's Milwaukee supperclub. If you head up the hidden stairway, you'll discover The Chatterbox- a small private room with luxuirous banquette seating and an overhead view of the entire bar. A Cambria Quartz bar top adds a subtle hint of glamor while contributing to the 70's vibe.
