Bokeh is a cozy neighborhood cocktail bar in Albany Park, two blocks north of the Kedzie Brown Line stop. It opened in 2019, founded by hospitality veteran and former professional photographer Rick Weber, who built the room around a photography theme — a gallery wall for local artists and signature cocktails named for camera terms like Lens Flare, Crop Factor, and Aperture. The bar is now run by father-son co-owners John and Arthur Petravich. Beyond the full cocktail, beer, and wine list and late-night small plates, Bokeh keeps a dedicated, rotating "Alcohol-Free Cocktails" section on its menu, with five seasonal zero-proof builds at $11 each that draw on the same house-made syrups, shrubs, and bitters as the spirited list. Named non-alcoholic drinks have included the Frost Melt, Charon's Obol, Terra Bella, Ether Azul, and A Dream of Spring, plus an alcohol-free Xocola'j spiced hot chocolate. It was a 2025 Chicago Tribune Readers' Choice Neighborhood Bar of the Year nominee.
