Raised, An Urban Rooftop Bar, 1 W. Wacker Drive, is inviting Chicagoans to ring in the New Year in style at their ticketed New Year’s Eve party on Sunday, December 31 from 9pm to 1am. The third-floor rooftop hangout, which boasts panoramic views of the Chicago river and city skyline, will be offering a special Premium Drink Package that includes champagne cocktails from 9pm to midnight.

Brooklyn Britches & The Whispers, a Chicago-based band that is known for delighting its audiences with old standards and modern songs with a slow, swanky twist, will be providing live entertainment from 10pm to 1am.

Those who don’t want to be tied to a package ticket can head to Staytion Market & Bar, located on the first floor of Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel, to celebrate New Year’s Eve with delicious cocktails, signature menu items and live entertainment. Rebecca Brunner, a Michigan-based Soul/Pop singer and songwriter, will be performing from 6pm to 9pm, and there will be a DJ performance from 9pm to 1am. The special à la carte New Year’s Eve menu includes unique options like the pomegranate salad, made with spinach, beets, sliced pears, grapefruit, feta, almonds, and cranberry vinaigrette, Short Ribs, served with mashed potatoes, roasted carrots and Brussel sprouts, and a Pear Cobbler, with spiced bourbon caramel and salted streusel, for dessert. Those looking to toast to the New Year will enjoy the special champagne menu, which includes Tattinger Champagne, Moet & Chandon Imperial, Veuve Cliquot and Mionetto Prosecco.
