"Bar Avec is the rooftop bar on the eighth floor above Avec River North. And it’s a perfect, low-key rooftop option that serves great food and won’t be overrun with tourists. The rooftop is shaded and filled with plants and trees, offering a great view of downtown. It also has a separate Spanish-inspired menu. Food options here include shareable plates like tuna tostada, shawarma fried chicken, and a lamb burger. And in case you were wondering: yes, they have the bacon-wrapped dates on the menu." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
