Pop-up Bar

Let’s have some wine! Let’s have some song! Let’s have some fun!
What’s stopping us?

We’re looking to stage a Wine and Song Pop Up and take over a Chicago venue for an evening, or two, or six, or whatever, for a memorable musical marathon that will:

  • Garner great publicity, great press and great reviews

  • Make lots of money

  • Be lots of fun

What is a Pop-up Bar?

  • A Pop-Up bar is a concept that creatively utilizes an existing licensed and operating venue by introducing a new format, which dramatically increases revenues and visibility.

  • These major increases occur with minimal disruption and minimal costs to the venue

The Project

  • Wine and Song will complement and enhance an existing venue by offering an exceptional live entertainment experience, all at an exceptionally modest price, comparable in cost to seeing a movie in the company of a soda and a box of popcorn.

  • There currently is not a single venue in Chicago that offers the combined pleasures of fine beverages and premium live vocal entertainment from classically trained performers, all presented without an admission fee or cover charge.

  • We will fill this void by featuring intimate instrumental and vocal ensembles performing the enduring treasures of Classical Music, Opera, and The American Songbook, a pleasing antidote to the constant pressures, excessive volume and sensory overload of contemporary life.

  • We will be responsible for contracting and paying the entertainers and organizing the advertising and publicity program.

  • As compensation, we will receive a percentage of the food and beverage revenues generated during the hours of its operation.

Let’s talk!

We have owned and operated Chicago venues and understand your side of the table: the constant economic and social pressures of running a bar or restaurant. For a free consultation pertaining to your specific wine list and your special venue, contact us.
