Set in the heart of Istanbul, Gaja embraces it all: premium wines, a breathtaking view and the timeless silhouette of Istanbul.
Originally a Sanskrit word, “Gaja” symbolizes fertility, royalty and richness. No wonder this rooftop was inspired by it.

Epic Sky
Posted on August - 19 - 2010
New to EPIC Restaurant in River North this spring, the 3,000-square-foot roof deck lounge Epic Sky features lounge-y seating, a couple of de rigueur cabanas and a white-acrylic back bar with amber lights. It’s only a three- or four-story building, but it still has nice views of the downtown skyline. Becareful, if you want something to eat, you will have to go downstairs, to one of the three levels of the enormous restaurant. The rooftop area is very upscale, and just like any other rooftop bar in Chicago unless you plan on getting bottle service get there very early or you won’t have any luck getting in or getting a seat.

The fabulous Egg nightclub is spread out over three floors, which are both inside and outside and there’s a 24-hour licence, so you’re never stuck for time to explore what’s around you. At the weekend, the party starts around 10pm on Friday and goes on until Sunday, only shutting for a few hours in-between. There’s even an eatery inside the club, so you don’t have to leave the club even if you get hungry. It’s sometimes free to get in before 11pm and, after that, it can cost anything up to around £15, depending on the night.
