The porthole: a window into the creation of your cocktail.
While creating The Aviary, we were curious: how can we infuse new flavors into spirits and cocktails directly at the table?
The answer came from our friends at —the porthole, offering guests a front-row seat to the art of liquid infusion.
Experience one for yourself at The Aviary Chicago or the limited run, Aviary popup at The Vault Bellagio Las Vegas this month only.

15 years ago, we dared to ask “What if…”
What if a beverage could engage all the senses: sight, sound, smell, temperature, and taste?
What if bartenders were more like chefs, crafting a cocktail the way a chef would a meal?
Since 2011, we’ve created hundreds of original cocktails. We’ve made drinks inside of ice. We’ve used time as an ingredient. We’ve experimented with pressure, heat, and evaporation to transform what a drink can be.
We're honored to be recognized among the best—by the James Beard Foundation for Outstanding Bar Program in the US, Chicago Magazine's Best Bar in Chicago, and Esquire's Best Bars in America.
15 years in, the questions haven’t stopped. Cheers to everyone who keeps asking them with us.
The drama of the vacpot.
From Austin to Kingston | jamaican rum, barbeque amaro, black tea, chipotle
