The atmosphere is nice the food is just ok and the service is terrible. Didn’t receive any utensils the whole time there.
We got there at 10 and when we went to order our first drink we were told it was last call since they close at 11.

“Went for my birthday in October this year and it was such a nice peaceful vibe.”
Went for my birthday in October this year and it was such a nice peaceful vibe. The rooftop was everything with the heated fire pits barely felt a breeze. The food was amazing so surprised it was some vegan options I had the fried green beans and Brussel sprouts omg so delicious and I had a sangria very good as well.

The service was a little slow because they were busy, but nothing outrageous which was great. Despite the wait for an outdoor table, my friends and I had a great time. The food was really good and so was the atmosphere. There were nice areas to take pictures. The service was attentive. We had a blast.

“Very nice outdoor space.”
Very nice outdoor space. Seating is wrapped around so it felt less busy even though it was full. Great service. Amazing views! Definitely not on the rooftop.

“The rooftop has a wonderful view from the city.”
The rooftop has a wonderful view from the city. The decoration is very nice and modern,but the stools are uncomfortable. The menu is too short. The portions are small. Don't ask for the wonton: It's just a fried tortilla with salad. The tuna tostadas were too dry. The sliders and the skirt steak skewers were delicious. The sangría was warm, and the glasses were small. We asked for wine first, but they told us they don't have wine glasses in that area. We were a party of 4, and we spent $360 aprox.

“Stopped here on a Friday afternoon.”
Stopped here on a Friday afternoon. No reservations required, first come first serve. The weather was perfect for a rooftop bar and view of the Chicago skyline. Would recommend if you’re in the area.

“Not normally my kind of place, but I really liked it.”
Not normally my kind of place, but I really liked it. Much better than average bar snacks in a friendly feeling "bricks & beams" decor. Our server was great, as were the 3 Rise & Grind mixed drinks I had.

One of the best views of the river from a bar that I know of, and paired with cool fire pits and a ton of great cocktails. This is one of my favorite date night spots before dinner that I can think of in river north. Not sure how we haven't been here before but it was perfect for a fall night out with a ton of heaters and a beautiful view. Can't miss stops for tourists or long time residents.

The outdoor patio was full but I side was fantastic too. The atmosphere is great and the wait staff all work together to make sure everyone is taken care of. They know the drinks and the small bites were delicious too!

“We got a seat on the deck, although we had to be ready to jump on a vacated table.”
We got a seat on the deck, although we had to be ready to jump on a vacated table! Despite not being on the outer edge of the deck, we had a great view of the river. Food is tapas style, which was perfect after walking around downtown, and the drinks were delicious and creative.
