Oakwood Construction Services (OCS), a Downers Grove-based commercial construction firm, is proud to announce the completion of a signature buildout for Lo Key, a new speakeasy-style restaurant and cocktail lounge located at 115 W. Schiller Court in downtown Elmhurst.
With decades of experience creating distinctive hospitality environments, the OCS team worked closely with Lo Key’s ownership to bring their vision to life: a modern-day speakeasy that blends vintage charm with refined contemporary design.
From concept to completion, Oakwood Construction Services delivered comprehensive design/build services including:
· Custom Interior Buildout – A fully transformed space designed to transport guests to a 1920s-inspired lounge with a modern twist.
· High-End Bar Finishes – Bespoke millwork, rich textures, moody lighting, and premium materials designed for durability and visual impact.
· Immersive Design Details – Hidden doorways, vintage-inspired decor, layered lighting, and curated finishes that enhance an air of intrigue.
· Collaboration with Local Trades & Designers – Partnering with local artisans and tradespeople to incorporate specialized features throughout the venue.
“We’re incredibly proud of how this space came together,” said Troy Riley, President of Oakwood Construction Services. “Lo Key is more than just a bar or restaurant – it’s a unique gathering place with character and intention behind every detail. Our team was honored to help make this concept a reality.”
Now open to the public, Lo Key offers exceptional cocktails, elevated dining, and an intimate, inviting atmosphere that is already making an impression in the Elmhurst community.
