One of our favorite spots to grab a quick casual drink on the water
Taking a boat through the Chicago River is never a bad idea - rabid architectural passion not required here
Swanky rooftop with immaculate views of the river, directly across from Trump Tower
Another popular rooftop bar with views of Lake Michigan and Grant / Millennium Park
Great for dinner and drinks with larger groups
One of our favorite Irish pubs
Jack-of-all-trades restaurant, a stone's throw from the wedding venue / hotel... great for brunch or dinner
We are frequent flyers to the West Loop / Fulton Market District proper. Get a drink and roll bocce at Saint Lou's Assembly just across the highway, or stroll west down Randolph St (restaurant row)
Come for the fish, stay for the views
Once a notable tourist trap, recent renovations make it worthwhile stop during summer
