Take the exceptionally quick elevator to the 96th floor and treat yourself to a Rosé Picante – an intoxicating medley of Patrón Barrel Select Añejo tequila, cranberry purée, Virtue cider, ginger syrup and a dash of lime juice – or perhaps a Godiva Chocolate Martini – made up of Godiva Chocolate liqueur, Dorda double chocolate liqueur, Pinnacle whipped vodka and a healthy dose of cream. Despite its popularity as a tourist attraction, there’s simply no denying that the two-storey restaurant and bar command the best views of Chicago from atop their location along the Magnificent Mile.

Popular at any hour, this swanky duo serves up classic elegance, traditional American fare and a delightful array of classic concoctions and homemade brews. Perched upon the 95th and 96th floors of 875 North Michigan Avenue, the vistas are incredible, providing up to 60 miles of visibility over four states. Famous for showcasing some of the best views of the Chicago cityscape, The Signature Room, an upscale American-style restaurant, and The Signature Lounge, its accompanying cocktail bar, are simply not to be missed.
