LondonHouse Chicago, Curio Collection by Hilton

This is one of my favorite rooftop bars in the city. It isn't exactly a hidden gem because everyone knows about it, but I would tell anyone that asked me what to do in Chicago to go here. The Londonhouse has some of the best views in the city of the river and surrounding skyscrapers. The drinks are on the pricer side, but you are paying for the view and experience more than anything. You can even go up here without buying a drink just to admire the view if you aren't looking to spend any money.
