About ALCHEMY BEACH - OUTDOOR BEACH EVENT

Alchemy Beach — Private Beachfront Lounge on Lake Michigan Tucked right on Waukegan Municipal Beach, Alchemy Beach is a fully outfitted lakefront lounge built around a custom shipping-container bar — the kind of space that turns "let's have an event by the lake" into something guests won't stop talking about. A fully secured liquor license bar on the beach. We serve only RTD on-stock; however, can make orders for private events. The surrounding the bar is a mix of seating zones to fit any kind of gathering: 1. Lounge nooks with woven bistro chairs and cocktail tables, shaded by vibrant umbrellas 2. A row of Adirondack chairs facing the open water, perfect for sunset views 3. Classic picnic tables scattered across the lawn for casual dining or games 4. A cozy conversation set with cushioned armchairs, ideal for interviews, podcasts, or VIP meet-and-greets 5. All of the banners can be swapped out All of it sits on a manicured lawn just steps from the sand, with unobstructed views of the lighthouse, pier, and volleyball courts — and the beach itself is just beyond the rope line, so guests get a true lakefront experience without being in the middle of public beach traffic. Great for: brand activations, sunset cocktail hours, corporate mixers or meetings, pop-up shops, graduation parties -- unfortunately, no birthday parties or album release parties.
