When alfresco fever sweeps Chicago every summer, expect heat seekers to flock to this River North spot to sip and soak up the sun on this bar's rooftop deck and side patio. Inside, look for a contemporary blue-and-white color scheme and booth seating inside; outside boasts plenty of patio furniture. Once known for a hefty wine list and a fancy Italian-inspired menu, Citizen has shifted toward a more classic Chicago bar atmosphere with the addition of more sports-airing TVs, draft and bottled beer and a menu of contemporary American bar eats, from mac and cheese bites to thin-crust pizza to wings.
