Old World Cocktail Patio

A mix of old-world and modern flare, this Chicago cocktail bar patio transports visitors the moment they step inside the gate. Permeable clay pavers create a classic look while allowing water to quickly percolate from the high-traffic surface. A shade tree and circular raised garden wall creates a focal point in the space along with additional seating. Old-world lamp posts were installed to compliment the aesthetic of the bar’s interior, adding charm and ambient light to the patio in the evening hours. Custom fences and plantings were added to create a sense privacy in the patio, while creating separation for the residential dwellers.
