Local attractions to explore near The Admiral at the Lake

Nestled in one of Chicago’s most vibrant and diverse neighborhoods – Uptown is known for its vibrant music scene, vintage architecture, and amazing global cuisine. With popular attractions and cultural venues nearby, there is always a new shop, gallery and restaurant to visit. 

Uptown

Being on the lake is a wonder. Crisp fall walks with your dog. Watching the ice form geometric patterns in the winter. Or sharing the beach with your family in the summer. City life with natural beauty all around.

Andersonville

For the creator at heart, Andersonville is a hub for local artists. Visit three floors of local jewelry, artwork and antiques at The Galleria or pick up some freshly picked flowers at Gethsemane’s Garden Center.
