Some of my favorite things about summer in Chicago include happy hour, rooftop views, and floral cocktails. Delectable menus, the buzz of conversation – the city comes alive the moment it’s time to celebrate warm weather. I’m always looking for deals, Instagram-worthy concoctions, and places where I can enjoy a drink with a good view. If you fancy the same, this roundup is a pretty good place to start!
