Check out these recommendations for restaurants near Willis Tower from the team of Chicago locals at Skydeck!
THE METROPOLITAN AT WILLIS TOWER
If you’re in Chicago for a visit to Willis Tower in the middle of winter, we don’t blame you if you’d rather not venture outside for sustenance after you hit up the 103rd floor. Ride the elevator down to THE METROPOLITAN, a multi-zone club experience located on the 66th and 67th floors of Willis Tower. Stop by Frame for all-occasion dining and drinks. Blueprint is a collaborative workspace where you can sit down to coffee, brainstorm sessions, and serious work time. Then, try out the Craftsman if an elevated dining experience is on your itinerary.
Address: 233 S Wacker Dr 67th Floor, Chicago, IL 60606

If you’re in Chicago for a visit, we recommend taking the chance to enjoy a genuine Chicago classic — Italian beef! LUKE’S serves classic, delicious Italian-style fare at some of the most reasonable prices you’ll find when it comes to downtown dining. Luke’s prepares their Italian beef, Chicago-style pan pizza, Italian traditional dishes, and hamburgers fresh every day with premium ingredients. Skip the line and order online!
