It’s feeling wild around here—and not just because of the new cocktail menu. Between the holiday, fresh seasonal sips, exclusive events in the works, and live music nearly every night, Lake Effect has the hum and heat of a full-blown jungle this July. Keep reading to see what’s on the horizon.
We’re open for the 4th and ready to kick off your long weekend the right way. Whether you're craving brunch and cocktails, dinner and live music, or late-night dancing upstairs in Church this weekend—we’ve got your holiday plans covered from brunch to last call.
Our new Jungle-themed cocktail menu is a true feast for the senses. Adorned with gold foil illustrated wild creatures, it’s just as much a visual experience as it is a flavorful one. While the menu’s been prowling around for just over a month, we dare you to try every drink on the lineup. Featured below: OneCockOr Too, Talk Birdy to Me, and Keep Palm & Jungle On—three bold sips with animal instinct. Embrace your inner beast and let your palate run wild.
New to the menu and already a crowd favorite, our Beet Salad is changing minds and winning hearts. A vibrant medley of pear, arugula, and pomegranate arils meets the rich crunch of marcona almonds and a cloud of whipped orange goat cheese. Finished with balsamic vinaigrette and a delicate glaze, it’s the kind of salad that turns skeptics into believers. Yes, this is the one that’ll make you a salad person.
