Offering seemingly endless skyline vistas, sunrise to sundown dining, and masterful mixology in a laid-back, twinkle-lit atmosphere, Upstairs at The Gwen is one of Chicago's best kept secrets. Sunny summer afternoons make our open-air terrace a natural choice, but Upstairs at The Gwen takes patio season well into the winter with warm drinks, fire pits, and curling.
