What started as a way for restaurants to stay open and properly distanced during COVID regulations has now expanded into its’ own sort of scene! Whether you call them igloos, greenhouses, inflatables, or bubbles…Chicagoans aren’t afraid of a little cold.

Check out a more detailed description of great Igloo spots here below in our article.
