Moonrise Hotel

If there's one thing Joe Edwards is king of -- you know, apart from the entire Loop -- it's opening damn fine establishments like Moonrise that sling booze into the small hours. At Moonrise, you'll be drinking next to high rollers, pro-sports dudes and those stunning females who don't seem to exist in the world the rest of us inhabit. The bartenders may look like irredeemable hipsters, but they know cocktails and really aren't any more pretentious than the next guy. Add a stunning view of the city and the occasional run-in with Pageant headliners, and you've got one of our favorite places for an al fresco sip.
