Lakely Loves... Morels!
2019-05-22 18:00 - 21:00
Get ready for a big one folks! The month of May is upon us and in the woods of Western Wisconsin, that means it’s almost time for morels to emerge!! To celebrate the annual appearance of this mysterious, oft-elusive, but altogether amazing fungus, we’re putting it center stage (er… plate) for a six-course Lakely Loves…
On Wednesday, May 22nd, we’ll be hosting Lakely Loves…Morels. Chef Nathan Berg will be creating a six-course dinner, each course of which will prominently feature the distinctly earthy joys of this edible treasure. An avid morel hunter himself, Nathan will also be sharing some of his knowledge about morels, including everything from foraging tips to the secrets behind cooking with – and preservation of — these short-lived beauties.
This dinner was a quick sell-out last year, so you’ll want to be sure to get your name on our reservation sheet as quickly as possible.
Please call The Lakely for reservations. 715-839-0601. Seating for these dinners IS limited, so be sure to call soon if you don’t want to miss out. And trust us, you DON’T want to miss out! See you here!
Dinner starts at 6:00pm. Bar will open at 5:00pm.
$70 PER PERSON
Sorry, but we cannot accommodate significant dietary restrictions for this event.

Wandering Spirits: Agave Spirits
2019-05-23 18:00 - 19:30
Join us for an incredibly special episode of Wandering Spirits as we take a deep dive into the world of the world’s tastiest monocot…agave. Agave, a native to the American tropics, is widely cultivated and used in the production of a wide variety of spirits, almost exclusively produced in Mexico, most of which can be classified in the mezcal family. Most famous of these spirits is, of course, tequila; however, there are many other forms of mezcal, based upon the utilization of other, lesser-known varietals of agave.
Laura Green, a Chicago-based Spirits Specialist with the Winebow Group, will be on hand to lead us through an impressively diverse range of agave spirits; from the various ages and production methods of tequila to a wide array of mezcals. Laura has traveled extensively through the various regions of Mexico where agave spirits are produced and has a personal relationship with many of the growers and producers.
If you have even the slightest notion of the amount of freak-out level response that this family of Mexican spirits has upon Chef Nathan Berg and The Lakely’s amazing bar staff, then you’ll know that calling us “excited” for this event is the very definition of understatement. This is a one-of-a-kind event and will likely sell out based upon our staff’s sheer enthusiasm alone, so be sure to grab you tickets right away, as space is limited.

The class begins at 6pm and lasts approximately 1.5 hours.

Gallery Show: Ohmme and Ben Lester
2019-05-24 20:00 - 22:00
Already celebrated as the “Heart of Chicago’s Music Community” (Noisey) by both fans and tastemakers alike, OHMME (aka the duo of Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart) amalgamate the aggressive and the meditative on their bold debut full-length album, Parts.
Still in their 20s, Stewart and Cunningham are both classically trained musicians and are established players within the Chicago music scene. They are especially involved in performing and working for venues within the local experimental music scene. They’re constant collaborators and have recorded and toured with homegrown acts as varied as Tweedy, Whitney, Chance The Rapper and Twin Peaks.
Cunningham and Stewart are multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriters with a penchant for two instruments in particular. “The band started because we knew we could sing well together and we wanted to make some noise with the guitar,” says Cunningham. Stewart elaborates, “Sima and I are both trained classical pianists and we know many of the sonic spaces keyboards have to offer. Since we were interested in experimenting and creating something different from what we had both done in the past, we chose guitar as our outlet for this band. We wanted to create both new and uncomfortable parameters for ourselves to force us into a different creative space.” These guitar-heavy experiments are sometimes earthy and resounding, at other times shimmering and buzzing—swirling around the duo’s expertly crafted vocals while creating a chaotic bed of harmony. Cunningham’s smoky alto complements Stewart’s higher-register croon, all underpinned by the restrained yet highly inventive polyrhythmic percussion of drummer Matt Carroll. Think Amber Coffman and Angel Deradoorian-era Dirty Projectors.
Doors: 7:30 p.m. // Show: 8:00 p.m.
Opening Music: Ben Lester
$10 ADVANCE TICKETS // $12 AT THE DOOR
The Lakely Restaurant and Bar is onsite for any dinner and drinks you might like to enjoy before the show.

Gallery Show: Singing OUT w/Heather Mae, Crys Matthews, JJ Jones
2019-06-15 20:00 - 22:00
Ask anyone about the new generation of social justice music-makers and they’ll mention either Heather Mae or Crys Matthews. Mae, a powerhouse performer and earthshaking vocalist, has turned her personal struggle with mental health and body image into an empowering message of self-love, a universal light force that shines for every audience member. Matthews is a powerful lyricist whose songs of compassionate dissent reflect her lived experience as what she lightheartedly calls “the poster-child for intersectionality”. These two singer-songwriters have joined forces with JJ Jones (Girlyman) and Joe Stevens (Coyote Grace) for The Singing OUT Tour.
Doors: 7:30 p.m. // Show: 8:00 p.m.
