Chicago, 2026

Kitty's Cosmopolitan Club

Conceived with Lettuce Entertain You beneath Crying Tiger in Chicago’s River North, Kitty’s Cosmopolitan Club is a speakeasy‑style cocktail lounge designed by David Collins Studio. An emerald, velvet‑rich palette with animal prints and burnished bronze sets an intimate, theatrical mood. Opened in March 2026, it channels the glamour of a private cabaret with modern craft at its core.

Emerald green drapery falls from the ceiling and gathers behind the bar, edging the room towards something tented and theatrical. Metallic bronze crackle-finish tiles wrap the columns; dark-stained timber walkways frame an abstract animal-print rug; plush banquettes sit against softly illuminated glass brick. The effect is a lush intoxication of green velvet, smoked mirror, polished nickel and low amber light.
