Get excited, Chicago! The Chicago Air and Water Show makes a return this weekend for some classic Summer fun.

Consider ditching the beach crowd for a more refined way of watching the show at one of these awesome spots around town we’ve listed below. Happy watching!
Lirica: Sip on a fresh Frozé or Fruity Sangria on Lirica’s expansive lakefront 150-seat outdoor patio. The Latin-inspired menu is also something worth exploring, offering a delicious dish for every palate. Seafood lovers should consider the Salmon Asado, as it comes highly recommended with the perfect blend of seasonings and spices atop a fresh filet of Organic roasted Salmon. Spend your day on the lake with one of the best patio seats in town! For reservations, please visit www.liricarestaurant.com.
