Reggies Rooftop

Reggies Rooftop is a scruffier, more neighborhood-driven replacement candidate than the hotel rooftops. Official source copy confirms the rooftop hangout and the main Reggies page exposes daily food/drink hours, while The Infatuation specifically calls out the rooftop as useful for summer group hangs.
Go here if
- You want casual group drinks.
- South Loop rooftop with a less-polished, live-music bar identity that diversifies the replacement bench.
- You are fine with a more exposed rooftop setup.
Skip if
- Bad weather is likely and you need a covered fallback.
- You need a clean reservation flow right now.
- You want a high-polish hotel lounge experience.
