Raised, an Urban Rooftop Bar, is celebrating the start of summer with a brand new menu curated by Executive Chef Russell Shearer and Restaurant Chef Tim Powles. To match the food offerings, the mixology team, led by Lauren Parton, has batched seasonal inspired cocktails, including cocktail popsicles or “poptails” this summer. 

“Summer in Chicago packs a punch and we wanted to reflect that in this menu,” said Executive Chef Russell Shearer. “Each creation was curated to feature powerful flavors with inventive combinations to maximize the tasting experience for guests to enjoy while experiencing one of the best views in the city.”

Raised’s food and beverage lineup showcases an assortment of snacks, solos, shares, sweets, and sips. To start, guests can order an assortment of snacks such as the Shishito Peppers with lemon, miso, sesame seeds, and bonito flakes; or the Roasted Poblano Avocado Salsa with charred shallots, tortilla chips, watermelon radish, and kohlrabi.

For the sweet side, Raised is offering a Pistachio Cake with rum pineapple and white chocolate pistachio crème; a Strawberry Semifreddo with almond sable, basil fluid gel, and micro basil; and a Mango Chocolate Tarte with mango, chocolate mousse, and micro mint.
