How did we actually say that? 🍕is always part of the picture ((and deep dish is next-level delish)). No, but today, we’re just talking up some of the coolest spots in Chicago where brides and their squads can go if they’re celebrating an end to singlehood and a beginning to life-long bonding with bae. Most have to do with day drinking, but that’s the best part of any bachelorette. Isn’t it??! Especially if you have flamingo drink floats to sip from, #groupgoals bathing suits to rock poolside, and festive fanny packs to flaunt - the most basic bachelorette must-haves. 

We’ve rounded up 8 of our favorite haunts sure to guarantee your girls have a helluva time! From sunbed reservations at the Shore Club Oasis, to a show or shopping in NEWCITY, skee ball and craft sips at Replay Lincoln Park, and punch bowl cocktails at Raised, there is seriously no shortage of fun to be had in the Windy City.
