Malört Happy Hour: Enjoy It… or Don’t
Step into the beautifully bitter world of Jeppson’s Malört—a spirit with a reputation as bold as its flavor. Love it, hate it, or pretend you do for your friends, this happy hour is your chance to experience Malört like never before.
We’re serving up a signature Malört cocktail menu designed to challenge expectations and showcase just how versatile this infamous liqueur can be. Paired with classic Chicago dogs and a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek humor, this is not your average happy hour—it’s an initiation.
Whether you’re a seasoned Malört masochist or a first-time skeptic, come explore the complexity, the lore, and the oddly compelling charm of a spirit that refuses to be ignored.
