By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/West Loop · October 20, 2025

A new hidden gem is captivating cocktail enthusiasts in the West Loop. Laberinto, meaning 'labyrinth' in Spanish, is a secret speakeasy tucked beneath Trino Steakhouse on Randolph Street. Designed for just 25 guests each night, this intimate venue offers a unique escape where master mixologists craft personalized drinks in a seductive, low-lit atmosphere that blends Mexican roots with global influences.

Opening its doors in August, this vinyl listening room is the creation of beverage director Carolina Gonzalez. Open Thursday through Saturday, Laberinto encourages guests to either order from the experimental cocktail menu or allow bartenders to craft something based on mood and preferences. The speakeasy regularly features visiting bartenders and vinyl DJs, drawing inspiration from Mexico City's Handshake Speakeasy.

Looking for something different this weekend? Venture below Trino to discover this hidden labyrinth designed for discovery and surprise. Gonzalez has created a space that will host rotating guest bartenders, unique pop-ups, and one-of-a-kind events that shift with the seasons. The ever-evolving cocktail experience is best explored through their event calendar – with everything else remaining delightfully mysterious. Follow Laberinto's social media for the latest events and secure your spot in this exclusive West Loop hideaway.
