Sure \u2013 Chicago may not have access\u00a0to an ocean or a bay, but that doesn’t mean our waterfront views are any less than stellar.<\/p>\n

What with Lake Michigan to the east, beautiful waterways throughout the region, and the beloved Chicago River running smack dab in the middle of it all, I mean, c’mon \u2013 we’re practically swimming<\/em>\u00a0in waterfront property.<\/p>\n

So before you pack up the fam and hurry out to the coast for your next shoreline adventure, check out the spots we’ve got in our own backyard.<\/p>\n

Dinner on the River has never looked this damn good. A relative newcomer to the Chicago-waterfront-echelon, this upscale-dining spot in\u00a0River North has only been open since 2014, but that certainly hasn’t stopped it from taking the city by storm. With a killer cocktail menu and Insta-worthy views of Chicago’s Riverwalk \u2013 plus, a solid weekend brunch \u2013 this summer hotspot is just waiting for your reservation.<\/p>\n

Views Of: <\/em><\/strong>North Pond<\/em><\/p>\n

Though not on the banks of the Chicago River, nor at the shore of Lake Michigan, Lincoln Park’s North Pond is without question one of the best waterfront\u00a0locations in the city. Not only does it offer supreme summer-happy hour vibes, but with a James Beard Award and Michelin Star under its belt, you just know the food’s gotta be good.<\/p>\n

Okay, so Castaways may not be what we’d call fine dining, but it just wouldn’t be summer in Chicago without this tiki-hut bar and grill. Seated right alongside the city’s most popular beach, this casual hangout is usually packed with locals and tourists alike all summer long, getting their daily dose of drink specials to top off a perfect day at the lake.<\/p>\n

In addition to serving up some of the meanest Italian food in Chicago, this newest addition to the Gibsons lineup is also serving up wild views fo the Chicago River. I mean, just look at that view! It’s *insert Italian chef fingers here* perfecto.<\/p>\n

Part of the Berger Park Cultural Center, this cafe and bar is housed in one of the few remaining mansions that used to stand up and down Chicago’s lakefront. Offering some pretty stunning waterfront and skyline scenes, don’t miss this northside spot’s amazing cocktails or annual Summer Stages series, featuring both theater and musical guests allllll summer long. Plus, it’s dog-friendly!<\/p>\n

I feel like I probably don’t need to explain this one to you, but if you insist: with live music every day and a drink list worth driving to the northside for, this Chicago summer staple is basically the epitome of waterfront dining in the city.<\/p>\n
