"The nation’s largest rooftop venue gives locals an enticing reason to visit Navy Pier. The all-seasons bar and lounge spans 36,000 square feet and is decked out with fire pits, a DJ stage, lots of cozy seats, and a glass-enclosed area so visitors can still admire the unmatched views of the skyline from the east when the temperature dips. The menu ranges from smoked chicken wings and sliders to sushi and steak frites. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Samantha Nelson, Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
