Karen Budell takes you on a hard-hat tour

When you’re sitting at a swanky lounge sipping that perfect martini, you’re probably not thinking about all the work that went into building the bar. That’s why we’re here: to take you behind the scenes with a hard-hat tour of Martini Park (151 W. Erie St.), set to open in July.

Brought to you by the co-creator of New York hotspots Marquee and Light (which also has an outpost at the Bellagio in Las Vegas), Martini Park offers an upbeat cocktail party-like vibe, with live entertainment, DJs, dancing and plenty of specialty drinks. The first location opened in Texas at the end of 2006; get a sneak peek of the Chicago location in the latest “Behind the Bar” video at metromix.com.
