Utopian Tailgate

AdmissionOld Town · Rooftop Bar Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1608 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60614

Utopian Tailgate sits right on top of The Second City, a 10,000-square-foot rooftop built around the idea of tailgating without the actual game — yard games, skyline views, and a menu of elote, BBQ wings, and gourmet sliders that reads more stadium-concourse-elevated than typical rooftop-bar small plates.

$$$
Elote and gourmet sliders on a 10,000-square-foot tailgate-themed rooftop directly above The Second City comedy club.

It's a 21+ venue with bottle service and specialty cocktails for anyone treating it as a proper night out rather than a quick happy hour stop, though there's a happy hour menu too.

Fall and winter hours run shorter and skip Monday through Wednesday entirely, so this reads as more of a weekend destination once the weather turns — check the current seasonal schedule before planning around it.
