Our Story

Curated Cocktails.
Elevated Experiences.

Based in the Chicagoland area, The Cocktail Council was founded by a group of bartenders who believe that the best drinks aren't always the ones being served behind the bar at a lounge — they are the ones shared at your best friend's wedding, the backyard birthday party, or your rooftop celebration.

We believe that every party should have a custom-built experience that you and your guests will never forget.
