Hawksmoor Chicago x Charis Listening Bar: Martini Mates
Now through the end of April 2026, visit Hawksmoor Chicago for the return of their Martini Mates collaboration. This round, they’re teaming up with Charis Listening Bar, the Bridgeport spot that feels like your favorite living room with better music.
Meet The Glass Slipper.
Condesa gin, fino, mastiha, salted oolong honey, and a whisper of St Germain and Benedictine. It’s quietly complex, a little playful, and best enjoyed with good tunes and great company.
$2 from every Glass Slipper will support Pilot Light’s mission to make Food Education for All a reality. Click here to reserve your table and try on the “Glass Slipper” for yourself!
Great cocktails. Great people. Great causes. That’s Martini Mates.
