I had an amazing evening at this gem of a rooftop! Unlike many other (also gorgeous) rooftops in Chicago, this rooftop makes you feel like you're in the mix of downtown Chicago rather than just above it. And you're not just paying for the views - they truly delivered on food and beverages too!

Local Chicago drinks to be Raised... and your spirits are instantly Raised as you walk through their doors! So, well done on their name.  If you haven't gone yet, plan to go with your friends and you will instantly be in charge of finding the places to go from then on. Summer or Winter- they are always open.   The vibe is awesome, the staff are phenomenal, eager to make drinks for you that make your day.

Came for after dinner drinks, staff was great and drinks were well made. The view was amazing. This is a great place to chill and have a late night drink with friends.
