The Best Rooftop Bars in Chicago, From Sleek Hotel Lounges to German-Style Beer Gardens | Condé Nast Traveler
"Aba’s verdant atrium of potted plants and trees frame a wide and well-lit back bar for imbibing over modern Mediterranean fare. Globe lamps stretch down from the room’s vaulted glass ceiling to make the space feel alive and full of light. Seasonal cocktails incorporate fresh fruit and vegetables, and a wide-ranging wine list broken down by grape, region, and historical and cultural significance. Large-format cocktails, wines mostly sold by the bottle, and an array of shared plates strongly hint at Aba’s communal approach. Don’t expect to have an intimate conversation though—this is one of the city’s trendiest restaurants with a dazzling rooftop view, making the bar a packed affair." - Nicole Schnitzler
