Adalina Debuts Rose Lounge

Adalina, a modern Italian restaurant located at 912 N. State St. in Chicago’s Gold Coast, has announced the opening of its speakeasy, Rose Lounge - tucked behind a secret door on the ground level of the restaurant. 

Anchored by a horseshoe bar with surrounding cocktail tables, Rose Lounge will accommodate up to 50 people in a candlelit setting. Below glimmering glass chandeliers, guests can ensconce themselves in plush velvet seating and select crafted libations, each served on ice that has been embossed with the lounge’s namesake flower.
