Ørkenoy

Chicago is welcoming a number of buzzy new breweries and eateries this season. Ørkenoy recently opened its doors in the Humboldt Park neighborhood under the leadership of co-founders Jonny Ifergan and chef Ryan Sanders. The team enlisted Chicago-based Range Design & Architecture to create the Danish-inspired minimalist design aesthetic. From hosting art installations and pop-up performances to offering exclusive housemade brews and elevated cuisine such as smørrebrød (Scandinavian open-faced sandwiches), this multipurpose space brings together an artistic energy with welcoming hospitality.
