a bottle of prosecco + the view = heaven
Renée VargasAugust 5, 2015
The views are free and the best view is actually in the women's restroom
Anna OMarch 20, 2012
I'm pretty sure the "cheese plate" consists of Ritz crackers & Kraft cheese slices. That aside, the view is amazing!
Caroline ScottMay 17, 2013
Great views, mediocre cocktails. Check out the womens bathroom for bonus views!
SPQROctober 18, 2015
The views are amazing... Tipping the host can get you a better table.
David ParkJuly 15, 2014
Separate wait line at the top of the lounge to get a table next to the window.
Chad BarnettNovember 17, 2013
Amazing view of the city from the 96th floor for only the cost of a drink!
Mohammad AbusharifFebruary 17, 2015
Amazing view and place
R NSeptember 17, 2015

Super fancy! And you want to see this view - better when dark imho.
Eva 🐾 BanovaJanuary 19, 2016

Rika POctober 6, 2014
One of the best lounges in Chicago

Great view for the price of beer(beer included)
Tasha WallingtonNovember 24, 2013
This place has some of the dirtiest bathrooms I've seen in Chicago. Enjoy the drinks but hold it ladies!!!!
Tabitha JohnsonJuly 18, 2015
The view from the ladies' room is the best in the building.
Chris WilliamsJune 20, 2013
Expensive but when in good company you enjoy it!
Amy CummingsApril 1, 2018
The best view is from the women’s restroom.
Derek DahmerMay 13, 2013
The drinks are awful but the view is fantastic. Come 45 mins before sunset to beat the rush.
Erin GApril 6, 2018
The drinks are pricey and not very exciting but the view is worth it.
Maren BjørgumMarch 9, 2014
The view is amazing. But don't get fooled by the mojito selection, they all taste like slurpee.
Mike MollicaSeptember 5, 2017
Great views, horrendous service.
Gaurav ZibbuApril 15, 2014
This place rocks...I am told the ladies restroom has an awesome view :-)
Katherine M.July 14, 2015
The bar in the building formerly known as the Sears Tower. Expensive drinks, but you're there for the views. Skip if foggy.
ValerieSeptember 12, 2014
View from the ladies room may be better than the actual lounge. No view in men's room though, sorry guys.
Fredrik SelarpAugust 26, 2014
This is one floor up from the observatory and it's free.
Fernando SosaOctober 15, 2013
This place is very green.. They re use cocktail napkins.. No joke.. I'm for being green but these guys went to far
Dustin HaleyNovember 4, 2017
Great views of the city - go for 1 overpriced drink if the lines aren’t too long.
Stefanie VenezianoAugust 23, 2016
The views are nice, and the drinks are expensive (to be expected.) But the service is very lackluster.
Jin ChenJuly 23, 2013
Skip the observatory and use your money toward a drink here instead. Ladies, for the best view, go to the restroom!
Angela MaguireJune 14, 2015
View is magnificent but the bar is really in need of renovation. The decor is very tired and carpets dirty. Drinks and service are great.
Ani RoyJuly 4, 2013
Mind blowing view!! A must stop if you're visiting Chicago!!
Casey JAugust 25, 2014

The mouse cake was amazing!!!
Chris KantarjievSeptember 23, 2017
The gin and ginger drink sounded good on paper, but somehow tasted like sushi, and not in a good way.
Marcell AbranchesNovember 4, 2013
Incredible view of Chicago! Get a drink and enjoy.
Dwayne KilbourneApril 17, 2012
If you are 21 or older, save your observation deck money and put it towards a drink or two at this place... more bang for your buck that way!
Olivia SzetoSeptember 29, 2014

The sliders were good. Can't beat it on a clear day at sunset!

Best views in the city.

So they say be sure to capture the view from the ladies restroom... I failed in this endeavor
Latham BrunsonApril 2, 2015
Great view of you can force your way into a window table. The service is slow and the drinks are expensive.
