Boasting over 36,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, a new year-round rooftop destina¬tion may elevate skyline and lake¬shore gazing to another level.
The official opening of Off¬shore, the nation’s largest rooftop patio built atop Navy Pier, with be late this month. Offshore will of¬fer Chicagoans and tourists a full-service luminous bar, world-class kitchen, terraces, seven cozy fire pits, an entertainment and gaming area, and multiple large social gathering spaces.
Navy Pier is already one of Illinois’ top tourist attractions and this is sure to become one of the city’s hottest destinations.
The kitchen at Offshore will focus on seasonal, modern American cuisine with global influences served as small, shareable plates. Special on-site catering menus will also be available.
Guests entering Offshore will be greeted with a wall of cascading, colorful propellers that are flanked by two slate metal vintage series pool tables on either side. The indoor area features custom brass whistle-shaped light fixtures, captain chairs, and oversized “playpens” made of a mashup of geometric cushions specifically designed for socializing. a barrel-vaulted roof and an operable glass enclosure conceals the entire indoor space, and fully re-tracts allowing the sun, stars and lakeside breeze in.
Architectural parasols run the length of the 20,000 square foot Terrace, along with communal tables lined with clusters of globe lighting positioned in netting floating overhead. a highlight of the deck is a 450 square-foot planter with lush greenery shaped like Chicago’s “y” symbol, a nod to the Chicago river. On the Southeast end of the terrace, a stage for live entertainment overlooks the city’s skyline. Two private lawns with sail shade canopies will act as a destination for group gaming, social gatherings, bridal parties, weddings, and much more.
