"Perched atop the Loop’s gorgeous and historic Carbide & Carbon Building, Chateau Carbide treats patrons to a lovely bird’s-eye view of downtown Chicago in sleek, Art Deco digs. Reopening for the season in June, the bar focuses on absinthe served in traditional drip fountains and cocktails alongside light bites. Catch live music every Friday and Saturday through September. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Samantha Nelson, Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
