Eres such a Beautiful, Space Location, right across the street from the Chicago theater.

Not saying excuse me as if we were a bother being there. I've been there before but do not recall having any interaction with the female staff but this stood out to me on this visit. Considering that a chicago promoter that i love frequents this place i hope this is not their norm. Its very unfortunate to face this when you are spending your money in an establishment.

Everything was pretty great! Our first visit here for our Anniversary date:) We were fortunate to…read moreget an early seating. We were about an hour early. The weather was in our favor with sunshine and not too hot. This place does well with umbrellas and translucent awnings. There's are also several areas for a more curated experience in the future. Inside, inside bar area, outdoor bar area, rooftop booths, high chairs... it's great! The Grilled Octopus with Sweet Habanero Aioli was the star of the show! There are two legs served which was icing on the cake! We have never eaten grilled octopus better than this! The charcuterie board had a nice presentation. And it's pretty big. I'm glad we held off on the Tuna Tartar. Our server, (Myranda I think) was extraordinary! She was attentive and even brought a candle to ward off the little fly! It was nice when she took off her sunglasses. We got to see her friendly eyes which made the experience a little more down to earth and human. The only downside was the one bouncer guy that was not very friendly when we accidentally walked the wrong way to take selfies at another part of the rooftop. And he kept sucking on this blue plastic thing the entire time which kinda brings down the classy cool vibe. It's all about the customer experience that shapes the brand right? Nevertheless, this place is a great option. I love that it's a little further North of the River North area which can be congested. It was easy finding street parking! I was also impressed with the music and sound level. Because there are tons of speakers above, there's no reason the blast the volume to enjoy the music. I was able to hear my conversation without competing with the environment. Can't wait for our next date:)

Solid, without being too sweet. Vanilla bitters and Amaro add a sweet balance, but they don't overpower the bite of the Bourbon. Service: 5/5. Friendly and attentive. Ambiance: 5/5. This isn't a super high rooftop, but it's the cool variant with all the tall buildings looking down at you. Mellow and unpretentious, but it was a Sunday afternoon. Buen provecho.

For some reasons, I assumed this would be rooftop at the top of the building, but it's actually…read morelobby level (5th floor maybe?). This is the main bar for the hotel and has some outdoor seating, though we were seated inside since it was raining. You can walk in or for a bigger group like we did, make reservations on OpenTable. Drinks: - La Familia es Todo: expensive at $29, but I guess it was that Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia extra-añejo tequila! It was well balanced, and I ended up getting another of the same Food: - Truffle fries: skinny fried, well seasoned, good for sharing - Burrata: with beets and buttered country loaf - Brussels sprouts: good flavor and texture - Bourbon Brownie: served warm; it comes with whipped cream, but I wish it were ice cream - Spiced tiramisu: a spin on the traditional version, though I think I prefer the original - Brown butter chocolate chip cookies: served warm, a large portion - definitely the winner of the desserts It was nice to have food to snack on with our drinks. It was a busy night, but service was a bit lacking - we had to repeatedly ask for various things like water, more drinks, utensils, plates. If you're staying at the Gwen or nearby, it's a solid place for drinks and bar food.

We were able to skip the line and go straight to the elevator, which was a great start! We had a beautiful table with an amazing view. The food and drinks were delicious. Since we had dinner plans later, we just ordered a couple of appetizers: the truffle fries with black aioli, which were absolutely delicious, and the roasted carrots. The cocktails were also on point! The service was excellent--our staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. But the highlight is definitely the view. It's one of the best views in Chicago! Definitely worth visiting for the cocktails, food, service, and incredible city views.

It was a hot saturday afternoon and was very disappointed by the lack of covering/shade for the tables. I understand that weather is not something the business can control, but covering is certainly something that can be. The sun was beaming down on us and within minutes I started sweating. I asked our waitress if we'd be able to have an umbrella to cover our table and some of the other surrounding tables, and they refused. We asked the hostess if we could be seated inside to which they gave a bit of attitude and said we'd have to wait about 20 minutes. After patiently waiting to be seated inside, we waited at least another 30 minutes before someone came to take our order. Then came a long waiting period of 45 minutes to actually receive our food and we were then told that the kitchen is closed. Once received, the food was okay. The mango salad barely had any mango, the lobster biscuits and gravy were overcooked and the huevos rancheros were just okay.

The interior of this bar is really cozy and nice. I would definitely enjoy hanging out here had it not been for the VERY loud club music on the Saturday night that I came. In fact, the sheer number of people all crowded in here gave it a very clubby vibe, which I actually don't care for at all. The music was so loud it was hard to hear my friends talking and I was concerned it would be loud in my room, but I was up on the 14th floor so thankfully it was far enough that I could barely hear the music with the windows closed and it did not keep me up. Overall -- on nights when it isn't so loud and clubby I would enjoy it here, but that one experience I had was enough that I wouldn't seek to hang out in this spot again since it was a little over stimulating. The location within the hotel is really nice if you're staying there, though.

Even though it just sits on the third floor, the views are solid and you still get the city vibes. The space, as with most outdoor spaces in Chicago, is always weather permitting and definitely seasonal. Over the years we have enjoyed a few meals and cocktails here, but our favorite thing is a nightcap, weather permitting. The bar is a great space, but if bellying up isn't your think there are tables and high tops and even lounge seating. You get a decent view from anywhere outside, but my favorite tables line the railings. The vibe is trendy and honestly the prices are too, but that is really any hotel bar you visit these days. We got a few cocktails on our latest visit and while pricey, when everything from the space, view and cocktails...they tend to be worth it. Service is always solid here. Our recent server was attentive, friendly and engaging. Constantly keeping a check on us and making sure all was well. Overall, definitely a fan of Streeterville Social. Cool spot whether staying at the hotel or passing by.

A server dropped off water without speaking and left immediately (didn't even get to see their face). We waited 25 to 30 minutes without anyone taking our order. During this time, multiple tables who arrived after us were attended to and served. I tried to catch the staff's attention on multiple occasions (there were at least 6 people working), but two servers were distracted watching a baseball game, and another looked in my general direction and walked away. We ultimately left to eat elsewhere. The food and beverage manager apologized after I complained downstairs and tried to resolve the situation, which I did appreciate, but the experience really upset me so we took our business elsewhere.
