The Best Rooftop Bars in Chicago, From Sleek Hotel Lounges to German-Style Beer Gardens | Condé Nast Traveler
"Perched atop the tony Pendry Hotel , this rooftop bears the same luxurious-cool found throughout the property. Executive chef Jeffrey Vucko showcases a menu of sashimi, sushi, and hand rolls, each finding its way to an ace pairing on the beverage side of things. Rosé takes center stage here, as evidenced by both standard and large-format bottles, alongside refreshing summer cocktails like the Pat Morita, a Paloma-inspired riff with Patron Reposado, housemade rose syrup, and grapefruit soda. Food favorites include dressed nigiri like the Ora King Salmon (with ginger and orange zest) and Hamachi (with truffle oil and yuzu koshu), plus rolls like the Carbide Crunch (spicy tuna, truffle, and cucumber) and the Midway (Madai snapper and avocado topped with hamachi and cilantro). If you're in for a drink, be sure to also order some food—the sushi here is some of the best in the city." - Nicole Schnitzler
