Fun fact: You can do all your holiday shopping with Land and Sea Dept. Yep; it’s true. We’ve got pins and records and prints and tees and skincare and hot sauce and more.
And don’t forget gift cards. Give the gift of good food. One must eat, after all.
Sippin’ Santa’s Surf Shack returns to Lost Lake this holiday season, from the day after Thanksgiving until New Year’s Eve, transforming the bar into a winter wonder-island. Following Lost Lake’s tradition of being a bit “over-the-top,” guests will enjoy a psychotically tropical X-mas explosion that will cover the bar with miles of pink tinsel, thousands of twinkling lights and hundreds of glittering snowflakes. Don’t fret – there will also be the glimmery, shimmery blue and sliver Star of Dave Cave!
Lost Lake will serve a full menu of holiday cocktails including returning favorites, such as: “…and a Parrot in a Palm Tree” (Reposado Tequila, Mezcal, Curaçao, Lost Lake Coconut Syrup, Lime) and “On Christmas Island” (Aged Demerara Rum, Jamaican Rum, Multi-Island Overproof Rum, Ginger, Passionfruit, Lemon, Don’s Spices #2).
The Lost Lake Gift Shop will also be filled with limited-edition holiday treats including: Santa-themed glassware by Cocktail Kingdom (various prices), signed bottles of Plantation O.F.T.D ($50), Lost Lake Multi-Island Plantation Rum 2015 ($80) and Paul McGee Private Barrel A.D Rattray Caroni 18 Year ($80), t-shirts ($20) and a variety of tropical ceramic mugs ($20).
For bar-goers looking to give back, Lost Lake’s pink Christmans tree will be the hub for guests to make a donation to the Chicago Period Project, an organization founded by former Lost Laker Ashley Novoa that’s dedicated to providing the less fortunate menstruating people of our city with the items they need to have healthy periods.
Sippin’ Santa’s Surf Shack will be open seven days a week, from 4 p.m. – 2 a.m. and until 3 a.m. on Saturdays. For more information, please visit. www.lostlaketiki.com
We are psyched to bring back Ye Olde Holiday Shoppe for it’s third year! The holiday pop-up market will be back at our studio space with our favorite local businesses, makers, and artists.
Parson’s Chicken and Fish Chef Hunter Moore and Chef de Cuisine Justin Schaub & bar manager Charlie Schott will be slinging eats and drinks all night.

We’re excited to share that Lonesome Rose is now officially open!
Lonesome Rose is an all-day restaurant and bar focusing on the rich cultural histories of the regional states of northern Mexico and the southwestern United States.
While a border may divide two countries, the histories of these areas have long been intertwined, informing and influencing each other across generations. This is most evident in the regions’ drinking and eating habits, where ingredients, recipes, and techniques have passed continuously across these borders, improving with each pass.
With Lonesome Rose, we celebrate and explores this exciting history, with accessible, approachable menus from a culinary team led by Executive Chef Pete Coenen (Cherry Circle Room, Lost Lake) and cocktails by Beverage Director Paul McGee (Cherry Circle Room, Lost Lake), which focus on the flavors these regions share. Opening early, and staying up (very) late, Lonesome Rose offers accessible, creative takes on the best these border regions have to offer.
Join us for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks every single day.
Lonesome Rose
2101 N. California Ave.
Open at 7am daily; food until 1am & drinks until 2am Sun – Fri / 3am Sat
To-go coffee, juice & breakfast tacos also available from 7am – 2:30pm

Join us on Monday, November 20 from 7-10pm to celebrate the launch of Letherbee’s 2017 Autumnal Gin. We’ll be in Golden Teardrops – the basement of our new restaurant and bar, Lonesome Rose.
This year’s Autumnal has notes of cranberry, rosemary, and lemon peel, and is just the thing to for both the gradually lowering temperatures and festive holiday drinking.
See you there.

Join us on the second floor of the Chicago Athletic Association hotel on Saturday, October 7, to raise money for disaster relief in both Mexico City and Puerto Rico.

We’ll send proceeds to the Puerto Rico Real-Time Recovery Fund, which is providing relief to those recovering from Hurricane Maria, and we’ll also be contributing to Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal’s campaign to support earthquake relief in Mexico.
We’re also very lucky to host Mexico City based architect Michel Rojkind in Drawing Room at 5pm. Michel will be talking about rebuilding the city following the earthquake. We hope you can join us!

We’re pleased to partner with the Museum of Contemporary Art in presenting a live performance of French musician Colleen on Friday, November 3!
Colleen is the alias of French musician Cécile Schott, who, over the course of five albums, has consistently reinvented herself by taking acoustic instruments out of their usual context and pushing the boundaries of their playability with compositions ranging from the mysterious and contemplative to kinetic and playful. Colleen has played throughout Europe, the US, Japan, Brazil, and Singapore, giving more than 200 concerts in prestigious venues and festivals such as Moogfest, Big Ears, Mutek, Transmediale, Villette Sonique, Rewire, and many more.
Tickets are available now – make sure to grab yours soon.
In celebration of the Chicago Marathon, we’re excited to work with artist Adam Geremia on an installation in the Drawing Room of the Chicago Athletic Association. They Call Us The Seekers will be in the case until November 5.
We are The Seekers, an intentional community of meditative runners. The Seekers reject the notion that faster is better. Personal athleticism has been co-opted by the running-industrial complex, in which selling product is more important than spiritual awakening.
Our goal: reclaim running with the power transcendent experience through movement. What we’re seeking can’t be bought or sold, it can’t be measured in miles. We seek the ecstatic.
Join us at theycallustheseekers.com.
Adam Geremia is the founder and leader of The Seekers. He has several projects exploring the nature of consciousness, the senses, and creating experiences that connect us to our bodies and our environment. He advocates for short shorts.
See more of his work at adamgeremia.com.

They’ll be serving up egg rolls, veggie momos, chicken wings, dumplings, and more from 5-11:30pm. L&E beverage director Chad Hauge has created some cocktails for the occasions, specially designed to complement the menu!
Join us – it’s sure to be a really fun night.
