What a spot! You can easily understand the hype and line to get in. It’s not cheap but it’s worth the stop. The view from the rooftop is perfect - it’s Chicago in a nutshell. We were lucky enough to to get a table and the food was excellent. Cocktail list was vast but we went off book and had Aperol Spritz. Highly recommend making a visit here.

The view is incredible, you can see all of Millennium Park. The Bartender was the best, I wanted to change something from a cocktail on the menu, they handle prebatch because of that it is not possible. He very kindly offered to make me a cocktail more or less with the characteristics that I was looking for, it was incredible! I exceed my expectations. A must go place if you are visiting Chicago.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Does this bar have a happy-hour and is it a good location to watch sunset. Also, is the patio open in April. Thanks, we're planning a rooftop bar tour in April.

Gina Hersheys | Oct 11, 2018
Gregg McAllister | Oct 11, 2018

No happy hour. It faces east so you would not be able to see the sun set. Patio is open year-round and would be a memorable part of any rooftop bar tour.

What’s the average price for a meal for two? And do you have to pay for parking and if so how much?

Teron Bussell | Jun 12, 2022
Sean Summers | Jun 12, 2022

Parking in Chcago is not easly... it is suggested you use SpotHero on your phone for assistance. The prices for drinks are under $20, and entrees are under/around $30 IIRC. The ambiance is great! Ensure you have reservations, because the bar is usually full, and the elevator is usually blocked by a waiting line.

No problem! They open at 11am on weekdays and there's an elevator from the lobby to the rooftop. I've squeezed in without a reservation to weekday lunch, but if you know you're going, best to secure a table in advance.

Frank Madonia | Oct 11, 2018
Desiree Anderson | Oct 11, 2018

Yes, make reservations ahead of time or you will end up waiting. Especially if you have more then two people in your party.They need to know how many people are attending. There is limited seating, so the earlier you reserve the better. You can actual view the menu online before hand. I think limited menu is for private dining.
