The Swill Inn

The Swill Inn is an old-school, no-frills Chicago bar. We used a traditional Brunswick style to create a warm and cozy atmosphere, and maintained a sense of familiarity by covering the walls in old bar memorabilia as well as several photos that showcase the history of nearby neighborhoods. Warm oak gives off a Midwestern feel while maintaining a cozy vibe- something that is crucial to a neighborhood bar. Vintage stained glass pendants hang from the high ceilings as you walk the length of this traditional Chicago bar layout. The deep blues and greens mixed with brown leather and stained wood give this location a rich and masculine color palate that is only broken up by white subway tiles surrounding the open kitchen.
