Château Carbide: By day, a French Riviera inspired lounge, by night a hot, nightlife scene

A secret rooftop rosé garden, the Château Carbie, debuted atop the Pendry Chicago recently. Offering a hidden escape to the French Riviera, 24 stories above the bustle of the city, Château Carbide offers Chicagoans and travelers an exciting opportunity to experience the iconic art deco-style building in a whole new way.

Indoors, two adjoining rooms encased in glass windows offer intimate seating in plush velvet banquettes for up to 80 guests. A gold-trimmed bar houses bottles of specialty rosé by Chateau d’Esclans alongside an open-view sushi station. Outdoors, guests can immerse themselves in a Cote d’Azur inspired garden oasis overlooking Chicago’s skyline, which serves as an all-day destination with dual daytime and nighttime ambiances.

By day, guests can soak up the sun and relax on soft seating and striped loungers while sipping on an array of summer favorites, including a curated selected of rosé available by the glass, bottle, magnum or jeroboam (3 liters), as well as craft cocktails, champagne, frosé and more.

Accompanying the pours and designed for sharing, the Carbide Picnic features an assorted basket of artisanal cheese and charcuterie, market crudité, locally-brewed spiked kombucha and optional Siberian Osetra caviar.

At 5:00 pm, Château Carbide transitions into an exclusive nightlife scene complete with rotating DJs spinning French house music, rosé and Champagne-forward bottle service, oversized rattan lanterns and a plethora of candles along with light bites and a menu of hand-rolled sushi from Chef Tony Kim such as Crunchy Tuna with Fresh Truffle Mushroom Maki, Smoked Lobster, Maguro Caprese, and more.

Château Carbide, 230 N. Michigan, is open Friday – Saturday from 2:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. and Sunday from 12:00 p.m. –10:00 p.m. Walk-ins are accepted and reservations are recommended via OpenTable. (More information can be found here.)
