Things to do in Chicago, Illinois (IL): The Best Bars & Clubs

July 14, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

J. Parker

Sitting proudly above the Hotel Lincoln, the J. Parker offers the most spectacular views in all of Chicago. As you sip on one of our signature cocktails, enjoy the unobstructed water views from one of the lounges 140 outside seats, or 55 seats inside. The J. Parker is a perfect space for private events, a pre-dinner cocktail, or a night on the town. Enjoy small plates from award winning chef Paul Virant 7 days a week.

I booked a night at the Lincoln hotel and came across this spectacular rooftop cocktail lounge. My friend and I enjoyed a glass of wine while looking out at the lake and autumn colored trees. I highly recommend being up there for sunset in the fall.
