“The best rooftop bar in Chicago. We come here every two or three weeks- the service is great and foods are awesome.”
“Diego at the bar made the shots for us and really made it special considering it was my birthday! 10 out of 10 and will 100% be back!”
“Amazing place! Everything was perfect delicious food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend!”
“Went on a busy Friday evening and they still managed to accommodate our group of three, which already set a good tone. Ordered the fish carpaccio along with a martini and an old fashioned — drinks were mixed really well, and the food had that clean, flavorful Nobu signature. The vibe on the rooftop is immaculate: warm lighting, great energy, and that relaxed-but-upscale feel. Staff was genuinely understanding and easy to talk to, never rushed us and made the whole experience comfortable. A solid spot for a night out when you want good drinks, good sushi-style plates, and a beautiful setting.”
“Nobu rooftop is located on top of the hotel in West Loop, which is very convenient, if you stay in the hotel. There is also a restaurant on the 1st floor. Not sure if there is a parking for those who is staying in hotel, but it was pretty hard to find parking nearby on the street, probably on weekdays it’s easier. Rooftop is very nice, it has tables for 2 and for company of people. We’ve tried sushi, few cocktails and mochi on dessert, everything was tasty. I didn’t like mochi a lot though, I would try different dessert next time. There is also a good music and nice view on downtown.”
“Great summertime Chi Rooftop Happy Hour! Beautiful rooftop with indoor and outdoor dining. A few shaded areas with couches and high top seats. Great variety on happy with with bites and drinks. Wagyu Sliders 10/10: Chefs kiss! Ordered per slider, trust me get at least 2! Salmon Dry Miso: 10/10 great flavor and fresh Brussels: 10/10 nice and crispy. Not soggy. Great flavor. Will be back for great views, good and service any time!!”
“Drink was delicious, DJ was a vibe, and views were immaculate!”
“Throughly enjoyed sampling the new rooftop menu! Cocktails were beyond my imagination. Chef Daniel Rakestraw thoughtfully explained each dish to our table of four. Views & vibes were a 10!”
“Everything I had was was delicious. I was not wowed by anything, but definitely satisfied with my meal. I'd love to return to try more items, and of course eat on the first floor. During tanoshi hour, we had the lychee/elderflower martini and the market margarita. Oh bothhhhh of these were so good. 10/10. I'd order either of those again without question. For food we had the crispy okra, oyster trio, karaage chicken, and yellowtail jalapeño roll. All very good! The chicken was probably my favorite. Not the best karaage ever, but very tasty. There are better (cheaper) options for HH in Chicago, but this was definitely a nice way to sample some of NOBU's dishes without breaking the bank and enjoy the city views. It wouldn't be my first pick for HH, but I'd certainly go back and try more dishes.”
“Always a nice treat to absorb good vibes and beautiful views while relishing delicious bites. If you’re looking for a slightly more relaxed situation with high quality options, Nobu Rooftop is a great place to let the time pass. I’m a sucker for caviar topped nigiri and rock shrimp in the late afternoon or bao bun breakfast sandwiches and Nobu honey toast on the weekend. Fan of the Grand Cordon, Lychee Martini, or the Nobu Old Fashioned on those days when a libation is non-negotiable.”
