Chicago Water Taxi - Riverside Plaza

A South Branch dock, a river ride and a plan before you board.

Check the route before you book.

Start with the dock and the route

My diner-raised instinct is to check the practical details before chasing a view. Chicago Water Taxi - Riverside Plaza is a river dock, not a workshop or a dining reservation. The experience here is the ride itself, with the South Branch of the Chicago River as your corridor.

The operator calls this stop Ogilvie/Union (West Loop), beside the Madison Street Bridge. Check the official trip planner for your route and departure, then use the operator’s ticket page if the sailing fits your plans. Confirm current service before setting out. This guide does not promise a boat is running now.

Treat the five cards below as separate choices, not a connected itinerary. Christkindlmarket Chicago is a seasonal holiday market. Brando's Speakeasy pairs a lounge setting with karaoke, while Bar Pendry Chicago is a cocktail lounge. Harold Washington Library Center, Chicago Public Library offers books, art and architecture. Workbox Chicago - River North is a workspace with event facilities, so check its own access and booking details rather than assuming it is a drop-in attraction.
