About Empire
Sure, Empire has a pretty extensive food menu that is mainly focused on burgers, but what people really go there for is that bombass rooftop patio. You can see the whole of Naperville from up there, and it’s always worth it to settle in for the night and explore their massive drinks menu. For a high-end place, everything is pretty reasonably priced, leaving you to sip on their signature cocktails and almost endless whiskey options without emptying your wallet altogether. They also have a pretty all-encompassing wine menu and a few rare acquisitions that will entice your curious side.
Empire always has open mic nights on Tuesdays and trivia nights on Wednesdays, plus a few other signature events scattered throughout the month. There’s never a bad time to visit, though, as their Saturday nights are always full of laughing, satisfied souls.
