Thrillist

The glass-enclosed rooftop offers unparalleled views of the cityscape , as well as a table for four you could probably nab if you got there super early (Protip: get there super early). Read more

Angie Osmanski

Great views of the city and the entertainment is always good from DJs to violinist to dancing . Their drinks are also delicious, you really can't go wrong!

Aaron Cruz

An up-top colorful bar will make for a relaxing, summertime experience. It will get crowded in a hurry, but there is a reason for that. It's a place to experience. Whiskey drinks hit the spot here.

Hamid Alan9ary

One of the best rooftops in Chicago Loved the ambiance hereStaff were very friendly and welcoming Would like to comeback soon

Patrick Finley (@pjfinley)

You can find amazing views of the city from this rooftop bar . The service is great and a pretty stellar atmosphere. One of my go-to's in Chicago.

So Lux Med Spa

An Open-air rooftop bar makes delicious drinks go to your head that much faster! Lines get long, so maybe get their a bit early? Try late afternoon... right after you get prettied up at our spa ;)

Oriana

Great cocktails and even better atmosphere. The fries are delicious and whatever dipping sauce that comes with it, fucking fuego.

Lia Evangelia Halaris

Classy , bartenders are very attentive, relaxing atmosphere ! The outside seating area has one of the best views of the city ! Order a Sex on the Roof..mmmmm!

Jeffery Goodman Jr

This vibe is dope, good music , and fun people. $400 for a regular table is a bit steep but this isn't just any ordinary Roof top lounge .

Josh Jamour

My new favorite place to grab drinks when I'm in town . A spectacular view with great drinks. Service can be slow at times though but the view makes up for it

Dulce Corazon

Best Place to jsut go and have a drink and hang with friends or have dinner either way you cannot! go wrong here one of my Fav spots!

HoMin

What a view !! The staff are friendly , beautiful and attentive. The food and drinks are superb...exactly how you would expect food in Chicago to be.

TKGO

The wine menu here is excellent, and bottle service seems appropriate for a swank open air spot like this! Come early enough and a group of four can snag a table and order a bottle or two before the m

Tal Shachar

I strongly recommend to seat outside (turn right when you enter), and arrive just before sunset - amazing atmosphere...

SELF Magazine

Enjoy the expansive deck, the fire pits , the telescopes, and yes -even a table that hangs over the edge of the building, at this super popular lounge .

Lukas Carvajal

Super fun rooftop to hang out with friends. I love their cucumber cocktails .

Blake Holler

This place is amazing. Great atmosphere and better views . Fantastic place to get a cocktail and enjoy a night out.

Sunil Kapadia

Awesome place for afternoon lounging . The manhattan with makers 46 is one of the best I've had.

H H

Yes, yes, yes! Order me a Jordan cab and watch the sunset . It's BEAUTIFUL up there.

David Smith

Bring your sunglasses! It can get very bright in the afternoon. Blackberry Mojito is excellent.

Time Out Chicago

TheWit Hotel’s swank rooftop lounge sports a specialty cocktail menu, a well-curated wine list and Mediterranean small plates . Read more

Shirley Liu

The pizza is actually delicious and perfect to go with your cocktail ... It does take a while though.

K Ziggy

The tandoori chicken kabobs ($14)are really good for an appetizer . Small but good for two to share. If you grapefruit try the French 27 mixed drink ($14)

Eric Reilly

Drinks and food were fantastic. I just wish the atmosphere was a bit less stuffy.

Jason Dazey

Reserved a rooftop space for a work function. Food was good; service was slow - drinks took awhile to come out. Great views if the loop.

Juicy Couture

The best view of the city , and the ultimate way to experience it - a glass-enclosed table for eight, suspended from the ceiling. Get on the reservation list ASAP!

Ashley Rose

Basic rooftop - fine (but not outstanding) view , sweet and uninspired cocktails , pushy service. Happy Hour until 7 is nice, though.

Tim Clarke

Awesome vibe - great view . Must do drinks here

eric bornemann

Nice outdoor bar for a quick drink if you are staying at the hotel .

Jony Clapes

Cool view , great music . Not the best rooftop though.

Jaunted

Richard Branson was here. If you're in the mood for the "Virgin Smackdown" cocktail , have the bartender throw a splash of Chambord in your champagne .

Tricia Bean

Beautiful place for our private event .

Ankur Jalota

If it's really loud , you can get away from the noise - there's a patio with tables in the back.

Chicago magazine

Must-try cocktail : Sex on the Roof: Absolut Citron, St-Germain, Aperol , and citrus .

QC Industries Conveyors

One of the coolest places to relax after a long day on the trade show floor!

Cool space. Very "Chicago" ;)

Frankie Corral

The drinks are super good, solid the view

$10 admission with a more bougie scene. Girls dancing in bikinis on a catwalk.

Kathleen O'Herren-Huston

The Cuban flatbread is amazing!

Tiffany English

Open year-round is a plus! Also great dj & drinks! Get there early to avoid standing in line

jiresell

Not sure the view is really worth the prices you pay for the drinks...

Crain's Chicago Business

For a great summer sipper, try the resurgently popular Pimm's No. 1 in a Pimm's Cup Cooler with muddled cucumber , citrus , ginger and soda . Read more

Mary Kay Hardcastle

Be prepared to pay a $10 cover after 9pm on the weekend.

GREAT foursquare deal here, the small plates aren't small! Very tasty! Love the plastic glasses :-)
