<\/a>On the 29th<\/sup> floor of the Mile North Hotel, locate just off of the Mag Mile, 52Eighty has incredible views without the excessive crowds to fight. Head over Tuesday through Saturday for a cocktail and skyline view.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although this Bucktown spot is known for its brunch and Southern comfort foods, their upper patio allows you to enjoy their microbrews on tap from the second floor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most people think of the DJ and club atmosphere at the ROOF Wednesday through Saturday. But, they also have live acoustic music Tuesdays to accompany your drinks after work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can\u2019t miss the McGraw-Hill building’s gorgeous architecture, and Upstairs at the Gwen on the 5th<\/sup> floor is also a can\u2019t miss! Their shared tables with built-in fireplaces in the center\u00a0will keep you warm throughout the fall.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Go ahead and play tourist at the Signature Room on the 95th or Signature Lounge on the 96th, because every Chicagoan should visit the Signature Room at least once.<\/p>\n Cheers, Chicago!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rooftop Season Isn\u2019t Over Yet Temps are dropping, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the great outdoors.
