The Up Room
The Up Room is a rooftop bar in Chicago located on an upper level of a building where drinks are served. The space maximizes its height advantage with open seating and sightlines across the city.
The bar was established as a rooftop venue in Chicago's downtown area. It represents a modern addition to the city's dining and entertainment scene.
The venue takes its name literally, perched high above the city with views across Chicago's skyline. Guests often reference this clever naming when describing their experience at the location.
Visit when the weather is clear to enjoy the full view and open-air setting. The height means wind and cool air are common, so dress in layers accordingly.
The name works on two levels – "Up" refers both to the physical height and the feeling visitors experience there. This double meaning makes it a conversation starter for many who visit.
