Chicago’s top concierges were invited to shake it with the city’s best bartenders and mixologists at the Front Desk concierge Shake-Off at Oak Street’s hottest boutique, Sofia. Guests sipped specially crafted cocktails from restaurants like Quay, Prosseco and Hubbard Inn, and nibbled delicious hors d’oeuvres from Pure Kitchen Catering. The resident DJ from Cage + Aquarium set the mood while attendees participated in a luxury raffle and voted for the evening’s best cocktail. Everyone walked away with a fabulous swag bag and delightful cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery. The winning mixologist from Vertigo Sky Lounge left with an exclusive dinner for two at III Forks.
