High above Chicago’s West Loop, the rooftop at Time Out Market has checked into holiday mode as Snowed Inn: A Christmas Bar Experience, a seasonal pop-up running through December 30. The usual skyline hangout is now wrapped in glittering lights, classic holiday tunes, and cozy seating, with the city views serving as a backdrop to a lineup of themed cocktails.
Snowed Inn takes over Time Out Market Chicago’s rooftop through December 30, serving festive cocktails, a boozy hot cocoa flight and plenty of holiday décor. There is no cover charge, and no tickets or reservations are required. According to Time Out Chicago, the pop-up opens at 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and at 11 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
Menu Highlights
Guests can “sip on festive drinks like Santa’s Naughty Nightcap, Rudolph’s Red-Nosed Refresher, The Mistletoe Mojito and Winter’s Kiss,” Time Out Chicago notes. The Boozy Hot Coco Flight lines up four versions of hot chocolate: peppermint, cherry-raspberry, spicy and coffee. Expect playful garnishes, Instagram-ready glassware and those rooftop skyline views doing a bit of extra work in the background.
Practical Info
Snowed Inn sits atop Time Out Market Chicago in the Fulton Market neighborhood. The market itself hosts multiple bars and vendors year-round, making the rooftop a natural landing spot for seasonal pop-ups, per Eater Chicago. With no cover and walk-in entry, weekend crowds on colder nights are a good bet, so plan your visit accordingly.
