The Best Rooftop Bars and Beer Gardens in the City

Chicago offers some of the best views in the country, and there’s no better place to mix a great view with a great time than at one of the city’s many rooftop bars and beer gardens. Here are a few that locals and visitors alike will enjoy.

Cindy’s

One of Chicago’s greatest treasures is Millennium Park, and Cindy’s offers an expansive view of the area. Perfect at sunset, Cindy’s, which is located at the top of the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, also offers unique cocktails as well as non-alcoholic elixirs.

Raised

Raised is a lively and unique rooftop bar atop the classy Renaissance hotel. Nestled in the Loop, this bar has a garden theme and hosts herb-infused cocktails like the Thyme after Thyme—all of which can be sipped while gazing out at Marina City and the Michigan Avenue Bridge.

Waydown

It’s a misleading name for a rooftop bar, but Waydown sits atop the Ace Hotel in West Loop. Hosting a rotation of Chicago’s hottest DJs, they also serve small plates and comfortable seating both indoors or outdoors, making it the perfect addition to a Chicago bar crawl.

Devereaux

Chicago boasts numerous poolside bars, but most of them are only accessible for hotel guests. Devereaux is different, as it’s fully open to the public. Serving tidy cocktails as well as upscale small plates, Devereaux is a perfect place to catch the sunset behind the buildings.
