Comics Make Up The Menu At Chicago Rooftop Bar

Chicago rooftop bar Noyane, a Japanese restaurant and open bar opened in the Conrad Hotel.

In a slightly different approach, the menu is filled with a comics strip story taking an adventurer through trials like answering the riddles of a dragon and facing the villain Yamakazi (named after a Japanese whiskey).

But hey this unusual method for adding character to a menu listing cocktails, bar food and beers? Well, it's a lot more practical than you might imagine. Greg Howe, vice president of licensing agreements with Richard Sandoval Restaurants, says about the comic strips from artist Eric Wedum who handled artwork and dialogue,

"Up here a piece of paper would blow away, so we were going to have to anchor the menu somehow. We also wanted to add more fun to the experience."

It certainly makes for a fun way to get through a whole menu, more than a simple list would be, that's for sure. So, does anyone fancy going for a drink?
