For my 31st birthday, we celebrated on my actual birthday this year with a few friends at Pearl Club in River West. It was an intimate and cozy spot for a smaller scale party and the drinks there are SO good! Cal worked with Pearl Club’s event coordinator to plan the party and they set aside a chunk of their upper floor for us. We had a bar right by us, “Tini Bit Older” signs, and plenty of space to sit and chat while we enjoyed our cocktails!

Cal and I first went to Pearl Club back in 2024 and I immediately fell in love with the stunning art deco vibes and their cocktails. The lighting is gorgeous and moody, there are lots of gold-toned and velvet details, and it was a no-brainer to celebrate a birthday in the space. I’m so happy with how it all turned out!
My go-to cocktail at Pearl Club is always their Clarified Ube Colada. They make it with Planteray Cut & Dry and Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple Rum, Ube, Pineapple, Coconut, and Lemon. I also sipped on some espresso martinis and our group ordered plenty of Guinness as well. (Fun Fact: the Guinness at Pearl Club is actually Guinness Draught Nitro on tap because the location used to be Emmit’s Irish Pub until 2022!)






After we finished up at Pearl Club, some of us headed across the street to Clover for a few more bevvies even though it was POURING rain. It was such a fun evening and I’m so grateful to have spent the night surrounded by friends! Big shout out to Cal for coordinating it all as well. I’m truly so lucky. <3
