RAISED, One of Chicago’s Most Popular Rooftop Decks, is Open for the Summer
RAISED, An Urban Rooftop Bar, perfectly situated on the third floor of the Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel at 1 W. Wacker Drive, considered one of the city’s hottest rooftop decks, is open for the summer. Inspired by the 'Main Stem' river district location, RAISED delivers unparalleled service and breathtaking views of Chicago. The name RAISED, refers to many conceptual layers: the iconic bascule drawbridges that line the Chicago river, the river locks that raise the water for passing boats, and the elevation of the urban rooftop location. The name also draws inspiration from the urban gardener and the DIY hop grower, brew master, or wine maker with the notion of raised garden beds, hop plants and grapevines.
Designed to complement Executive Chef Tony Biasetti’s American cuisine, the beverage program at RAISED features an array of wine, beer and cocktails. Featuring rotating draft and bottled beers and wines on tap, guests have the option of ordering by the glass, or enjoy wines by the bottle, ranging from champagne, reds and whites, as well as a selection of summery rosés. The creative libations with seasonal, fresh ingredients encourage guests to sample and share. Raise a glass in RAISED’S collection of rare, interesting glassware, with house-made cocktails being a focal point.
Offering a new take on American cuisine, Chef Biasetti designed RAISED’S menu to consist of traditional American bar food with a twist, highlighting snacks and shareable plates. In order to ensure the freshness of each dish, Chef Biasetti focuses on locally sourced ingredients within 200 miles of RAISED. Popular offerings include the local cheese and charcuterie selection, Tuna Wakame, Carr Valley Aged Cheddar Mac & Cheese, Seared Atlantic Salmon Filet, Grilled Skirt Steak, Hand Cut Signature Frites, House Smoked BBQ Pork Sliders, and more.
