Handcrafted cocktails, New American bites & stunning city views.
"Located atop of the Lincoln Hotel, The J Parker is a scenic gem in the Old Town community. Featuring one of the best unobstructed views of Chicago's skyline and lakefront path, the J Parker gives it's guests the option of both indoor and outdoor seating. The views alone makes for sipping a signature cocktail from any part of the bar a memorable experience." - Kake
"Dance into 2024 with the J. Parker’s NYE Midnight in Paris party. The year-round rooftop venue atop Hotel Lincoln is offering an all-inclusive package that includes cocktails, wine, and beer, as well as Parisian-inspired food, including charcuterie boards, canapes, and savory puff pastries. Tickets are $150 and are available via Eventbrite." - Lisa Shames
"Rooftops are an important part of enjoying summer in this city, because you get beautiful views of the skyline and the lake, and you can eat and drink outside without being bothered by buses or our fragrant sewers. But trying to hang out on a rooftop during the winter is like being trapped on the ski lift from Frozen (the 2010 horror movie, not the lovable Disney cartoon, which only becomes a horror movie once you’ve watched it 300 times). All that being said, The J. Parker in the Hotel Lincoln is a rooftop bar that’s perfect for winter - because it’s completely encased in glass, giving you a 360-degree view of city, and probably even some vitamin D." - adrian kane
"Check out the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit at Germania Place, then go grab drinks and food on The J. Parker rooftop. If you show same-day admission tickets for the exhibit at Germania Club, you’ll get a free appetizer (like buffalo cauliflower or truffle fries) with the purchase of a small plate and drink." - adrian kane
"Even though animals are better than people, being a person having cocktails on a rooftop overlooking Lake Michigan is still pretty cool. The J Parker at The Hotel Lincoln is across the street from the park and the zoo complete with one of the best rooftops in the city. You’re basically a drunk bird while you’re up there." - sam faye
