Sportsman’s Club

A screenshot of a website for a modern bar and lounge with a rustic, retro feel. A large masthead photo of the back of the bar, with an assortment of whiskey and cognac bottles and an old-fashioned looking cash register, is overlaid by some page links and a curving font that conveys a sense of being from the 1940's or 1950's says "Sportsmans Club". Below the masthead against a dark grey background are some more photos of the classic-style bar with some copy and the heading "About".

About

Sportsmans Club, part of the Heisler Hospitality entertainment group, is a popular establishment on Chicago’s near west side.

For the Sportsmans Club website, a template based in Bootstrap was applied to a WordPress framework. The website color scheme is extrapolated entirely from Sportsman’s multi-colored “bullseye” emblem. An added feature is the drink menu, which is designed to resemble the felt board display that the bar staff show their nightly specialties on. Later on, the site was migrated to Squarespace, where Visuale added custom scripting to integrate Instagram content.
