Summary
A sleek, sophisticated lounge named Jackson’s Ultra Lounge is set to open in Chicago’s South Loop next summer—July 2027—in honor of the Hills’ late son. Designed for adults 30+, it’ll feature elevated small bites, a strict no-athleisure dress code, ambient DJ music, and live performances. Located at 1301 S. Wabash, the space once housed The Scout Waterhouse. Kenneth Hill, a CTA operator, is actively engaging the neighborhood, while security will be handled by a team of current and retired police officers. Weekend brunch may come later, with valet and outdoor seating included. Open Friday–Saturday 4 PM–1 AM, Sunday–Monday 4 PM–11 PM, the lounge is seeking investors and city grants to honor their son and build a safe, welcoming haven for the community.
