“We tried to look up pictures of someone else’s order of the bao buns before we tried them, to no avail.”
We tried to look up pictures of someone else’s order of the bao buns before we tried them, to no avail! So we took a chance on them and they were AMAZING! They’re packed with flavor (the shrimp and beef ones are non spicy, the chicken one is the only one with a bit of a kick) Highly recommend ROOF for a snack and the view and vibes!

Had a great time last night by celebrating NYE @the WIT. Our server Aury was very attentive and nice. Loved the food, but Brussels sprouts need to be more crispy. The party was lit

We had a great time at this restaurant. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. We visited during the winter, but the rooftop view of the city was truly amazing.

“I went here with some friends for happy hour and we had a great time in the bright open space.”
I went here with some friends for happy hour and we had a great time in the bright open space. We especially loved the cocktails (both on menu and off) that were made for us by Brian behind the bar. His craftsmanship and attention to detail did not go unnoticed by me and my party. The service from the whole staff was top notch.

“Got seated on time.”
Got seated on time. Good views of skyline. Excellent service. Good drinks - ordered Expresso Martini, Mezcal Sour, Jalisco. Had Dip Tria for appetizer. Liked sweet pea and lemon ricotta - white truffle honey and red pepper hummus - toasted pine nuts, micro cilantro. Roasted eggplant was flat for my taste but good. Ordered Four Cheese pizza, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, S&P fries. Very tasty and good portion size for all servings. Recommended.

“This is a cool rooftop bar with a lively party vibe in the heart of Chicago.”
This is a cool rooftop bar with a lively party vibe in the heart of Chicago. The drinks are excellent, and the service is outstanding. The bartenders and servers are super friendly. The music is loud and energizing, so if you're looking to stay hyped, this is the place to be. In addition to the main bar area with a retractable roof, there's also a lounge-style section where you can relax and enjoy your food and drinks. This area also offers better views. Highly recommend for a fun night out!

“Came here to enjoy an after work happy hour and loved it.”
Came here to enjoy an after work happy hour and loved it! We were a pretty big group but we were able to be seated fairly easily which was much appreciated. The drinks were really great! Had a wide variety and you’ll instantly earn cool points for having a Penicillin on the menu. Service was good too and this spot is absolutely beautiful - I walked in and was so amazed. I can’t speak to the food as we only tried the pizza which was good. Overall I’d definitely come back for drinks if I lived in the area.

“Absolutely loved our evening at theWit Rooftop Bar.”
Absolutely loved our evening at theWit Rooftop Bar! The food was delicious – the Thai chicken pizza, in particular, was a standout and full of bold, unforgettable flavor. The cocktails were top-notch, expertly mixed and beautifully presented. The ambiance was vibrant yet relaxing, with a perfect mix of energy and elegance. Service was flawless – attentive, friendly, and professional. And of course, the views of downtown Chicago were absolutely stunning. It's the perfect spot to unwind, take in the skyline, and enjoy a memorable night out. Highly recommend!
