Two Sloop Bars Register On Eater's "15 Hottest Rooftop Bars & Terraces" List

The buildout of terraces and rooftops is a trend most Chicagoans love.  For the Sloop, unfortunately we didn't really have many options, but in the past year that has changed and Eater has taken notice as two Sloop spots register on their list of the "15 Hottest Rooftop Bars & Terraces":

13. SX Sky Bar808 S Michigan Ave
Chicago, IL 60605

The team behind perhaps the city’s most popular rooftop bar — Londonhouse — debuted this swanky nightlife-driven terrace on the fifth and sixth floors of the Hotel Essex in the South Loop. Fancy expensive cocktails, snapper sashimi, a dance floor, and views of downtown landmarks are on offer.

14. VU Rooftop Bar133 E Cermak Rd
Chicago, IL 60616

The South Side got its first rooftop bar when this year-round spot opened in fall 2018 near McCormick Place. VU Rooftop Bar has terrific views from the 22nd floor, three bars, a karaoke room, firepits, and retractable windows for the colder months.
