Cindy's

Cindy's

Located on top of the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, Cindy’s is a rooftop bar and restaurant with food that is just as beautiful as the view. The family-style dishes offer seasonal fare for brunch, lunch and dinner.

Calumet Fisheries

One of the last wood-smoked seafood restaurants in Illinois, this unassuming, shack-like eatery can be found next to the Calumet bridge. This historic, family-run business serves perfectly prepared smoked or fried seafood of all kinds. No seating inside, so order and take it with you or eat by the river on the bridge.
