The Luxe Bar Guide – Curated Culture in Print
The Luxe Bar Guide is an exclusive print-first brand, currently in development and launching first in Chicago. Each edition is crafted as a collectible cultural magazine, featuring the finest bars, clubs, and event spaces, alongside emerging cultural trends, interviews, and cross-brand collaborations.
Built as a 360° luxury media system, the guide lays the foundation for a follow-up mobile app—curating bar access, elite guest perks, and city nightlife intelligence.
Each edition includes:
– Curated bar, club, and event venue features
– Illustrated skyline covers in antique ink + parchment texture
– QR-enhanced brand collaborations
– Culture-driven articles, event highlights, and brand placements
The project combines high-end visual storytelling, limited-edition print runs, and integrated city branding into a scalable luxury media product.
Launching in Chicago: A print-first luxury brand guide featuring bars, clubs & culture—crafted with fine illustration and set to expand globally.
