Apogee

Apogee is a sophisticated rooftop bar and lounge perched 26 floors above Chicago's River North neighbourhood at the Dana Hotel and Spa, offering sweeping panoramic views of the city's skyline and Lake Michigan. The venue blends an Art Deco-inspired indoor lounge — complete with low-slung custom furniture and a marbled bar — with an outdoor patio featuring a couch-flanked fire pit and a more casual, relaxed atmosphere. The cocktail programme is inventive and theatrical, featuring artisanal spirits, fresh ingredients, large-format sharing drinks, and creative presentations including smoking potions and edible flower garnishes. Weekend DJs and events add to the lively energy, making Apogee a premium destination for guests seeking craft cocktails, vibrant nightlife, and some of the most spectacular city views that Chicago has to offer.
