Nice bar and restaurant! And friendly staff
The view is so AMAZING!
This might be one of the best views in the city! I'm typically the guy that takes my tourist friends to the Johnny Hank for the view and drinks but I'm changing that now.
All of the tables in the bar have amazing views but my favorite table is right at the corner of the bar. You get views of both river and the three major skyscrapers: Trump Tower, John Hancock and the Sears Tower (there was never a name change for us locals). I must tell you that it is so beautiful to look at. In fact, I'm trying to get the bar to put my name on that table but that is not going well. Ha!
The other day I saw a business traveler sitting by himself working at my table on a laptop and he was missing the view. I wanted to tell the guy that he was sitting in the best table and that it was a "NO WORK ZONE". Look at the view and work later!
There are also daily specials during the week from Sunday to Thursday. Give them a call to find out exactly. I believe that Thursday is $6 flavored vodka night with any mixer night. There's a special Bloody Mary on Sundays.
So if you're in the mood for a different view and not your typical tourist trap, then this is the place. The drinks are reasonable and the staff is friendly. This is one of the best hotel bars in the city for relaxing and enjoying the river and city view.
The view from this bar is truly breathtaking. My friends and I were there on a Thursday evening and surprisingly, it was pretty crowded (mostly due to a private party they were hosting). At first, it was a bit chaotic because we couldn't find a table and when we asked the waitress/hostess, she simply said to sit at any table. So, we walked around in search of an available table and found one..woohoo. Drink prices are pretty reasonable considering the location. We all ordered martinis and it was pretty delicious. Our waitress was pretty accommodating when we requested to move tables so that we would be closer to the river view. And she was okay with us paying the tab with 4 different credit cards. In overall, it was a very nice experience and I would go back just for the view itself!
Food was good, had Tuna Steak. Was served seared with sides of French green beans and coleslaw. Overall enjoyed the experience. The wait staff was helpful and atmosphere was conducive to a business meeting

This is a hidden gem with one of the best views of the skyline. And it's hidden inside the Holiday Inn right on the corner of Wolf Point, so it gives you views south and east along the Chicago River. Great place for a dinner date!
The Old Fashioned isn't great, there is far too much alcohol. The Bloody Mary, on the other hand, is A M A Z I N G. Spicy and delicious. Mule is okay. It's a little loud, and very dark, but the view is to die for: see Chicago as you've never seen it before. Get photos before you leave. The service is okay. Came here at 5 pm on a Friday, wasn't super busy.
Chicago is awash with pricey hotel bars. However, few bars of any type offer such a stunning view of downtown. Come here with your mates to ogle the cityscape to add a touch of class to your bro's night out. Don't bring a girl here though. You'll spend too much time looking out the window and she'll get jealous.
Great food and views, well recomended.
Ok. #1..GO. #2... THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE AND YUMMIEST FOOD and #3 awesome view. Shhhhhh! Tell no one. It's our secret. 🤣
This Place got my order right and has the perfect balance of everything I would recommend this place to people who are looking for a perfect meal.
