Absolut Bar

What is Absolut Bar? Set backstage at Budweiser Stage at 909 Lake Shore Blvd W, Absolut Bar is a vibrant, neon-lit branded cocktail experience situated inside Lake House, the waterfront's ultra-exclusive members-only club. The installation pairs mirrored acrylic bar tops and festival-style seating with access to Lake House's expansive outdoor patio, which captures sweeping skyline views across the exhibition grounds. The layout balances an electric backstage bar scene with a dedicated private dining room designed for high-profile show attendees.

Absolut Bar Menu & What to Order The culinary foundation comes directly from downtown steakhouse royalty, with Lake House running a premium dining program curated by Harbour 60. The cocktail roster is anchored by creative, high-energy builds, including the electric Absolut Vodka Blue Lagoon and custom-mixed Absolut Shaker Cup Cocktails crafted for summer concert nights. Pair the spirits with Harbour 60-caliber steakhouse cuts and an expansive private cellar wine list for the definitive backstage VIP experience.

Know Before You Go Access is strictly restricted to Lake House members—who pay a $6,000 annual fee—and their invited guests, with advance table bookings required for both pre-show and post-show windows. The bar runs exclusively on Budweiser Stage concert nights between May and October, remaining dark or functioning purely for private bookings during the winter months. Skip the brutal Lake Shore traffic by riding the 509 or 511 streetcars into Exhibition Loop and strolling over the pedestrian bridge.
