Holiday Pop-Up To Bring Ski Lodge Culture To Chicago
Local artists will transform the Estate restaurant into a retro ski lodge, with life-size snow globes and Santa sleighs.
CHICAGO — A snow-lovers pop-up bar is coming to the Goose Island neighborhood in Chicago. SocialLight Group is bringing the lavish “after-dark” skiing culture to the Estate restaurant and lounge, without the slopes. Starting Nov. 17, Estate will be transforming into the winter pop-up Sleigh Baby.
Inspired by an après ski lodge and holiday pop culture, Sleigh Baby will be the "perfect winter escape within a concrete jungle," SocialLight Group said.
Each space in the pop-up will be transformed by local artists with rooms ranging from a retro ski lodge to others hosting life size snow globes and Santa sleighs, giving guests a range of photo opportunities.
