Cascade Drive-In (1100 E North Ave, West Chicago, 630-231-3150) Pack up the beer cooler, grab a blanket and stuff a bunch of friends into the trunk—it’s drive-in season. At Cascade, you can catch two first-run flicks, plus raid a concession stand that trumps oily popcorn with pizza puffs and corn dogs. —Heather Shouse

The Terrace at the Conrad (521 N Rush St, 312-645-1500) This hotel rooftop bar’s glowing lanterns and pillow-backed sofas don’t just inspire romance, they also ensure you’re comfortable while noshing on Asian-tinged apps during the Sunday- and Monday-night screenings of pop-culture classics. —Heather Shouse

Motel Bar (600 W Chicago Ave, 312-822-2900) Motel turns its urban patio into a showcase for cult movies every Monday night (catch the Footloose/Dirty Dancing double feature June 16). Cackling socialites stepping out of Japonais may drown out “Nobody puts baby in a corner,” but if you’ve had a Singapore Sling or two, you’ll barely notice. —David Tamarkin
