Larry's Bar at the Lawrence House in Uptown, Chicago

Larry's, a cocktail bar from the owners of Heritage Bicycles, opened in February 2017. Larry's occupies a small space that opens into the lobby of The Lawrence House. Grab a craft cocktail or beer and relax in the large lobby which features a curved stained-glass skylight (original to the building) and geometric chandeliers. Hang with your friends or get some work done on any of the countless couches, armchairs, or long wooden tables with lamps and built-in electrical outlets. If that's not your style, have a seat in the bar which is cozier than the lobby and has a similar old-timey feel, with vintage art on the walls and low lighting. During the warmer Chicago months, make sure to check out the patio out back with a satellite patio bar, fire pit and plenty of seating including day beds.
-------- ABOUT THE LAWRENCE HOUSE -----------
The Lawrence House, built as a luxury apartment hotel, has been a cornerstone of life since its construction in 1928. The flats design team restored the building's original skylight, mosaic pool tiling, and terrazzo flooring as well as establishing an open lobby that acts as a free co-working space, adjacent to retailers such as a coffee shop and bar. Additional amenities include a backyard open to the public, a rooftop lounge and communal kitchen for residents, and a 6,000-square-foot fitness center including the fully restored pool and a boxing ring. The Lawrence House, located on the northeast corner of Kenmore and Lawrence avenue is the perfect location for an urban commuter. Just blocks away from the red line, our residents can walk, take the train, and bike to the lakefront and have ease of mind with our bike storage. The Lawrence House is a pet-friendly building and is home to cats, dogs, and even a teacup pig.
