    Email cindyshost@chicagoathletichotel.com instead of calling for a reservation to get a quicker reply!!!! Parties of 4 to 12 only! Request weeks in advance especially for weekends.

    Probably the best roof-top in Chicago, better reserve or habe patience at the line.

    The Full Bloom cocktail is an elegantly simple cocktail that's a flash kick to the frontal lobe

    Call well ahead to reserve a table, or resign yourself to stand-up cocktailing (assuming you get in at all). Read more

    Great view of the city. Not too crowded, as they limit the number of people allowed on the rooftop.

    It could have been a nice rooftop bar if it was not that extremely crowded.The cocktails on the terrace have some idea behind,but the general impression is very mediocre because of hordes of tourists.
