2. The Dec Rooftop at the Ritz

The Ritz-Carlton Chicago opened a rooftop event space in May. The venue, which has a color-changing LED wall and a circular sculpture called "the Lenz," can seat 57 or hold 125 for receptions. Menu items include burger beignets stuffed with Wagyu beef and American cheese, as well as Ritz Crackers topped with house-made Parmesan spread and truffle honey. Handcrafted and kegged cocktails pair with each of the small bites, and specialty drinks include the Hemingway’s Heart, made with 10 Cane rum, grapefruit, blood oranges, and lime.
