The 21 Best Rooftop Bars in Chicago for Views of Lake Michigan and Wrigley Field

Floor-to-ceiling windows, pulsating beats, and big-time energy await guests at this rooftop, located on the 27th floor of theWit Chicago. The cavernous space emphasizes surround-sound and modern design, featuring graphic floor tiles, mixed textiles, and an LED screen wall. Visit throughout the year, thanks to a retractable roof—the venue’s focal point and show-stopping feature. The cocktails are seasonally-driven, with summer’s lineup featuring the tropical and transportive (the State & Rare, with banana-infused tequila, orange, and orgeat; the Magnificent Spritz, with kiwi and apple-infused gin, elderflower, and cucumber). Guided by chef Armando Diaz, the menu here centers on colorful, globally inspired plates enhanced by local sourcing and seasonal twists. Not to be missed: the Spring Tostada, with spicy pea puree, crispy maitake mushrooms, and housemade queso fresco; lobster and shrimp tacos dorados with avocado crema; a zucchini tavern-style pizza, with roasted corn and tomatoes. For dessert, try the white chocolate-potato chip-macadamia nut cookies, served with a roasted pineapple milkshake.
