The LSD Art Dept. is excited to launch the Lonesome Rose T-Shirt Club.

Every few months we will reach out to friends and artists we admire to make a t-shirt design for our little establishment. Each T-Shirt Club shirt will be a one time run of 72, and when they’re gone, they’re gone – no reprints here.

The first in the series is Bad Moon Rising (001) by Chicago-based artist / designer / musician Drew Ryan. Shirts are available on the Land and Sea Dept. web store, and at Lonesome Rose.

Join the club and stay tuned for the next edition!

From Good Stock is back for another fun season! After October’s pop-up with Milwaukee’s DanDan, we are excited to welcome Bonnie Morales, chef and owner of Portland’s Kachka.

We’ll also have a featured cocktail from the book— Kosmos-politan. Come and get a taste of the Kachka book and purchase a copy for yourself or as a holiday gift.

See you there!
