Lazy Bird

Chicago, Illinois

The Hoxton hotel's cellar-level cocktail and music lounge won Hotel Bar of the Year and holds a 2025 Spirited Awards regional honor with fifty-two signature cocktails and a live music program that runs Thursday through Saturday. The Bird Cage, a private section with rope and stanchion, adds exclusivity to a space that already operates below street level in both location and lighting. Lazy Bird treats the hotel-bar format as a canvas for live entertainment rather than a convenience for overnight guests.
