"The bar, After, will debut in October (reservations are already live) in the same building that’s housed Ever since 2020. Designers at Lawton Stanley Architects carried over Ever’s abstract futuristic feel – and in some ways, After is a continuation of the Ever experience, with a 14-seat, curved bar out of a sci-fi show; fancy chairs from renowned European designer, and the same Venetian plaster that makes visitors feel like they’re on a lunar landing. Though customers won’t find sticky floors and a jukebox at After, they will find touches that pay tribute to old-time Chicago taverns like a backlit back bar with a walnut liquor display." - Ashok Selvam
