Small Bites, Big Views & Perfected Cocktails

Discover one of Chicago’s best kept secrets, an Art Deco-inspired rooftop retreat, offering seemingly endless skyline vistas, sunrise to sundown dining, and masterful mixology in a laid-back, twinkle-lit atmosphere.

Sunny summer afternoons make our open-air terrace a natural choice, but Upstairs at The Gwen takes patio season well into the winter. Reimagined for colder temperatures with warm drinks and fire pits, get cozy on the terrace for curling and cocktails, a bucket-list experience unique to The Gwen.
