Bernard’s is a speakeasy cocktail lounge conveniently hidden on the second floor of the famous Waldorf Astoria Chicago that’s built upon precise cocktails that pay tribute to the past through moments grounded in the present. Bernard’s takes root in the heart of Chicago’s Gold Coast, offering unforgettable experiences guided by knowledgeable staff, refined cocktails that each have a story, and exceptional plates of nosh in a setting of exquisite luxury. The aesthetic is inspired by the men in Coco Chanel’s life, with an equestrian influence that creates a room that wraps itself around you like a tweed riding jacket worn in the Scottish Highlands. Masculine yet soft, textured and warm, dark but welcoming. Let’s raise a glass to honor the past, live in the moment, and appreciate what the future brings.
