"The South Side got its first rooftop bar when this year-round spot opened in 2018 near McCormick Place. VU Rooftop Bar has terrific views from the 22nd floor, three bars, fire pits, and retractable windows for the colder months. The food, from Fifty/50 Restaurant Group, is a tasty ensemble of bar bites. VU is open as early as 6 a.m. for breakfast so guests can watch the sunrise with a mimosa in hand." - Jeffy Mai
