You feel like you are right in the center of the city as you look down at the Chicago River and take in the view of the skyline around you. Reservations are recommended, since the terrace does tend to be busy. 85 E. Wacker Dr. LondonHouseChicago.com/rooftop

Devereaux

Located on the 18th floor of the new Viceroy Hotel, Devereaux is part of the esteemed Boka Restaurant Group. Take in views of the Gold Coast while sipping cocktails beside the small pool. 1112 N. State. DevereauxChicago.com

This cocktail spot atop the Hotel Lincoln has unique views of the skyline, Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan. It’s known for being a lively spot for a drink during the day or at night, especially with a retractable roof. 1816 N. Clark. JParkerChicago.com
