"Orkenoy, located off the 606 elevated trail at Kimball, is targeted to open in late July or early August inside the Kimball Arts Center. It will have a philosophy similar to an arts collective, hosting concerts, gallery shows, and more. Chefs include those who’ve worked at popular Chicago brewpubs. Jonny Ifergan and Ryan Sanders lead the team, with operations manager Briana Hestad and sous chef Madison Burns. The space is designed by Range Design & Architecture, incorporating Danish design and South Beach colors. Orkenoy will brew farmhouse-style beers and serve a menu with Nordic inspiration, including Scandinavian open-faced sandwiches. Cocktails will have Nordic inspiration as well. There is also a coffee component to be revealed later." - Ashok Selvam
