Chicago features a notable selection of rooftop bars, perched atop skyscrapers and offering views of the city’s iconic architecture. From River North to the Loop, these high-up venues let visitors admire Lake Michigan, the Chicago River, and the skyscrapers that form the skyline of the third-largest city in the United States. These rooftops offer various experiences: contemporary Peruvian cuisine at Cabra, handcrafted cocktails at Kennedy Rooftop with a direct view of downtown towers, or the originality of Homestead on the Roof, which grows its own ingredients hydroponically. Cindy's Rooftop, located atop the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, provides a direct view of Millennium Park. Some spaces have strong themes, like Lonesome Rose with its American West-inspired decor, while others favor industrial design like Chateau Carbide with visible metal structures. Whether you are looking for a place to have a drink at sunset or outdoor dining during summer months, these venues serve as prime observation points to see Chicago from a different perspective, far from the street hustle.
