Republic Social House

Republic Social House is a reliable place to grab a decent burger in Grant Park, but its main draw is their rooftop, which overlooks the historic Oakland Cemetery. The rooftop has a bonfire pit flanked by cushioned couches and a smattering of tables surrounding the bar. There are a few televisions that always have some sports event on, but we’d rather take in the views of intricate gravestones and lavish gardens across the street. And after downing a few strong Grant Park lemonades, their just-OK chicken wings and Cajun pasta has a little more spirit. But just opt for the bacon jam burger, which has a tasty housemade bacon jam and crispy onions.
