In the heart of Fulton Market, Rooftop Cinema Club provides a much-needed escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. The venue offers a serene, elevated space where you can unwind, take in the city’s beauty, and enjoy a film in a way that’s both intimate and grand. It’s an urban retreat that’s as much about the experience as it is about the movies themselves.

Rooftop Cinema Club is not your average movie theater. Located on the top floor of The Emily Hotel, it provides a unique twist on the traditional cinema experience. Imagine watching your favorite film while surrounded by Chicago’s stunning skyline, the twinkling lights of the city enhancing the magic on screen. This is the kind of venue where movies become more than just entertainment—they become an experience.

One of the standout features of Rooftop Cinema Club is its commitment to comfort and style. Forget about cramped seating and sticky floors—here, you’ll find yourself lounging in plush deck chairs, complete with cozy blankets for those cool Chicago evenings. The seating is designed to be both comfortable and spacious, ensuring that you have a great view of the screen no matter where you’re sitting.

The cinema’s lineup is as diverse as the city itself, featuring everything from cult classics to the latest blockbusters. Whether you’re in the mood for a nostalgic throwback like The Breakfast Club or an action-packed thriller, Rooftop Cinema Club has something for everyone. The venue often hosts themed nights, where moviegoers can enjoy a selection of films centered around a specific genre or era, adding an extra layer of fun to the evening.
