VALEDOR

Found in the heart of Chicago’s Wicker Park, Valedor is an intimate cocktail lounge shaped by the cultural convergence of Mexico and Japan, referencing the post–World War II emergence of Mexico City’s “Little Tokyo.” A balanced palette of raw and refined materials—bronze metal and custom-designed textiles—traces a narrative from colonial influence to contemporary metropolis while forming a moody backdrop for an avant-garde cocktail program. Seating just 85 guests, Valedor delivers an exclusive nightlife experience celebrating craft and culture.
