Hoosier Barths brought a taste of island life to Chicago, beginning with a cocktail hour at Pizzeria Portofino overlooking the river. Guests arrived to a lively scene that felt straight out of St. Barths, complete with roaming musicians, a DJ, and entertainers setting the tone for the night.☀️

Beach-chic cocktails in shell glassware, caviar and island-inspired food stations, and large-format drinks kept the energy flowing as guests mixed and mingled in the indoor-outdoor space.

Playful games and custom details added to the charm, creating the perfect way to kick off an unforgettable evening for Lyon’s Way.

More from paradise soon.🩵
