Notable Picks

$$$ Lincoln Park
The J. Parker is the 13th-floor rooftop bar atop Hotel Lincoln, pairing panoramic views of Lincoln Park, Lake Michigan, and the skyline with cocktails and shareable New American small plates. Since opening in 2012, it’s become a go-to Lincoln Park spot for sunset drinks, casual date nights, and out-of-town visitors who want a classic Chicago rooftop experience.
Must-Try Dishes: Buffalo Cauliflower, Soy Ginger Chicken Wings, Crispy Brussels Sprouts
What makes it special: Glass-wrapped rooftop atop Hotel Lincoln with sweeping park and lake views.

Worthy Picks

$$ DePaul
Harvest is a seasonal rooftop restaurant and bar perched above Lakeshore Sport & Fitness in Lincoln Park, serving burgers, salads, brunch plates, and cocktails with skyline-facing outdoor seating. It functions as a casual, relatively low-key rooftop for members and non-members who want views, curling lanes in winter, and approachable food rather than a clubby scene.
Must-Try Dishes: Truffle Fries, Salmon Bowl, Burrata Salad
What makes it special: Club-top rooftop with skyline views, seasonal menus, and curling lanes.
