The glass-enclosed rooftop offers unparalleled views of the cityscape, as well as a table for four you could probably nab if you got there super early (Protip: get there super early). Read more

Great views of the city and the entertainment is always good from DJs to violinist to dancing. Their drinks are also delicious, you really can't go wrong!

An up-top colorful bar will make for a relaxing, summertime experience. It will get crowded in a hurry, but there is a reason for that. It's a place to experience. Whiskey drinks hit the spot here.

One of the best rooftops in Chicago Loved the ambiance hereStaff were very friendly and welcoming Would like to comeback soon

An Open-air rooftop bar makes delicious drinks go to your head that much faster! Lines get long, so maybe get their a bit early? Try late afternoon... right after you get prettied up at our spa ;)

You can find amazing views of the city from this rooftop bar. The service is great and a pretty stellar atmosphere. One of my go-to's in Chicago.
OrianaOctober 29, 2015
Great cocktails and even better atmosphere. The fries are delicious and whatever dipping sauce that comes with it, fucking fuego.
Jeffery Goodman JrJanuary 30, 2016
This vibe is dope, good music, and fun people. $400 for a regular table is a bit steep but this isn't just any ordinary Roof top lounge.
Lia Evangelia HalarisJuly 5, 2013
Classy, bartenders are very attentive, relaxing atmosphere! The outside seating area has one of the best views of the city! Order a Sex on the Roof..mmmmm!
Josh JamourJune 19, 2012
My new favorite place to grab drinks when I'm in town. A spectacular view with great drinks. Service can be slow at times though but the view makes up for it
TKGOOctober 17, 2010
The wine menu here is excellent, and bottle service seems appropriate for a swank open air spot like this! Come early enough and a group of four can snag a table and order a bottle or two before the m
HoMinOctober 25, 2012
What a view!! The staff are friendly, beautiful and attentive. The food and drinks are superb...exactly how you would expect food in Chicago to be.
Dulce CorazonOctober 3, 2012
Best Place to jsut go and have a drink and hang with friends or have dinner either way you cannot! go wrong here one of my Fav spots!
SELF MagazineAugust 12, 2013
Enjoy the expansive deck, the fire pits, the telescopes, and yes -even a table that hangs over the edge of the building, at this super popular lounge.
David SmithSeptember 19, 2014
Bring your sunglasses! It can get very bright in the afternoon. Blackberry Mojito is excellent.
Tal ShacharJuly 18, 2013
I strongly recommend to seat outside (turn right when you enter), and arrive just before sunset - amazing atmosphere...
K ZiggyJune 25, 2011
The tandoori chicken kabobs ($14)are really good for an appetizer. Small but good for two to share. If you grapefruit try the French 27 mixed drink ($14)
Lukas CarvajalApril 10, 2017
Super fun rooftop to hang out with friends. I love their cucumber cocktails.
Jason DazeySeptember 7, 2015
Reserved a rooftop space for a work function. Food was good; service was slow - drinks took awhile to come out. Great views if the loop.
Time Out ChicagoSeptember 14, 2010
TheWit Hotel’s swank rooftop lounge sports a specialty cocktail menu, a well-curated wine list and Mediterranean small plates. Read more

The pizza is actually delicious and perfect to go with your cocktail... It does take a while though.
Blake HollerDecember 2, 2012
This place is amazing. Great atmosphere and better views. Fantastic place to get a cocktail and enjoy a night out.
H HOctober 21, 2015
Yes, yes, yes! Order me a Jordan cab and watch the sunset. It's BEAUTIFUL up there.
Sunil KapadiaAugust 4, 2013
Awesome place for afternoon lounging. The manhattan with makers 46 is one of the best I've had.
eric bornemannOctober 11, 2020
Nice outdoor bar for a quick drink if you are staying at the hotel.
Ashley RoseMay 24, 2019
Basic rooftop - fine (but not outstanding) view, sweet and uninspired cocktails, pushy service. Happy Hour until 7 is nice, though.
Eric ReillyJuly 22, 2017
Drinks and food were fantastic. I just wish the atmosphere was a bit less stuffy.
Juicy CoutureOctober 22, 2010
The best view of the city, and the ultimate way to experience it - a glass-enclosed table for eight, suspended from the ceiling. Get on the reservation list ASAP!
Jony ClapesAugust 22, 2014
Cool view, great music. Not the best rooftop though.
Tim ClarkeJanuary 17, 2016
Awesome vibe - great view. Must do drinks here
J Monique CollierAugust 25, 2013
Go in the daytime. You will be able to see the view and not be charged a cover fee or have to wait on lines
Tricia BeanJanuary 15, 2017
Beautiful place for our private event.
Tiffany EnglishAugust 16, 2011
Open year-round is a plus! Also great dj & drinks! Get there early to avoid standing in line
JauntedMay 28, 2011
Richard Branson was here. If you're in the mood for the "Virgin Smackdown" cocktail, have the bartender throw a splash of Chambord in your champagne.
QC Industries ConveyorsSeptember 19, 2014
One of the coolest places to relax after a long day on the trade show floor!

For a great summer sipper, try the resurgently popular Pimm's No. 1 in a Pimm's Cup Cooler with muddled cucumber, citrus, ginger and soda. Read more

Roof at the Wit Hotel seats 150 in its open-air portion and 150 indoors, but even on chilly days, the place fills up quickly. Read more

Must-try cocktail: Sex on the Roof: Absolut Citron, St-Germain, Aperol, and citrus.
Emily BastenMarch 9, 2011
GREAT foursquare deal here, the small plates aren't small! Very tasty! Love the plastic glasses :-)
Ankur JalotaJuly 16, 2013
If it's really loud, you can get away from the noise - there's a patio with tables in the back.
WillMcDSeptember 17, 2015
Cool space. Very "Chicago" ;)
Frankie CorralDecember 5, 2014
The drinks are super good, solid the view
jiresellAugust 2, 2017
Not sure the view is really worth the prices you pay for the drinks...
Theresa GanchorreJune 8, 2012
okay...if you're looking for a crazy ridic Sunday day party, and willing to wait in a stupid line, at least check it out. quite entertaining.
John HartSeptember 24, 2016
Don't bother wit this place. It has terrible service and mediocre drinks. If you are looking for dancing and a good time you would be much better served to go to the Underground or Paris Club
Israel HJuly 14, 2010
Very nice decor, modern, nice people, nice place, outdoors and indoors with great view and great mojitos
Kathleen O'Herren-HustonFebruary 19, 2016
The Cuban flatbread is amazing!
Emily S.August 7, 2014
$10 admission with a more bougie scene. Girls dancing in bikinis on a catwalk.
Alexis BudejenJuly 5, 2015
Great for drinks when it's not super cold.
