    Lake Michigan view

    CloudBar-360 is the redesigned, rebranded observatory deck at the former John Hancock building. While I miss the Signature Room there, the CloudBar is a nicely reimagined space for the observatory. It is not the tallest building in Chicago but the views are truly magnificent., and I would come an hour before sun set for the best experience. Tickets can be purchased to include a drink, but you can just go up and order a drink at the bar. Cocktails are not bad (not great either), and I appreciate the selection of some local products like Few whiskey. So perhaps a shot and/or a beer?

    This was such a fun experience! I'd don't have it in me that day to do the Tilt but I thoroughly enjoyed viewing the skyline and chilling with a cocktail. Our admission came with a drink and I opted for a margarita. While enjoying that I couldn't help but notice several people ordering a purple cocktail with a large bubble on it so I ordered that's for my second round, it was so fun and delicious. The bar/seating area had plenty of seating and the bartender working the bar was very quick and efficient.

    Cloud Bar at Chicago 360 is a place to grab drinks with a view. It is part of your ticket to the top of the (former) John Hancock building. Drink costs are separate, and they have specials. Fun fact, I came here several years ago when it was called "The Signature Room at the 95th" and was a full blown restaurant. Currently, you can walk completely around the floor, and the windows have the compass directional, in case you are wondering which way you are looking. We got tickets as part of the C3 pass. Chicago is well known for its architecture, so it was great to visit and view Chicago from another vantage point.

    07.03.25 inside the 360 Chicago Observation Deck - mocktail menu
    May A.

    The highest bar in the city [Chicago IL] Our tickets included one complimentary drink each so we headed to CloudBar to claim them. I chose a mocktail, the Rainbow Beach, which was a blend of mango, strawberry, lemonade, and club soda. Hubby had the Crossbeam (house liquor and mixer)... and chose rum and Coke. One bartender serving the crowd, he was busy but was still able to give good customer service. The bar is located on the north side of the Observation Deck. You have to purchase a General Admission ticket to be able to go to the bar. It's on 94th floor. There's plenty of seating. Take your cocktail by the window and enjoy stunning views. Review #3813

    I mean what better view in all of Chicago than the 94th floor in the Hancock Building. Also, what better way to experience a sunset than with a Revolution IPA on tap? For me, I'm hard pressed to think of one. For the reviews that said that the windows were dirty and there were spiders, I personally thought 1. How do they clean these windows? 2. How do spiders service this high up? I don't think it detracted for me on my experience.

    The CloudBar is located in the 360 Building on the 90-something floor. You have to purchase tickets for entry via the 360 building website; definitely purchase online beforehand. Once you get through the entry and elevator lines you are greeted with amazing views of Chicago! We went at night and the city sparkles! Make your way to the back of the floor where the bar is located and lots of seating. Our ticket included a complimentary drink from a selected menu and we ordered the old fashion. To be honest, I didn't have high hopes of the drinks being a tourist attraction; however, excuse me this was a pretty good drink w/ the block ice and orange peel. Only thing missing was the luxardo cherries. Definitely a beautiful spot to try out!

    This bar is located in the 360 observation deck on the 94th floor . Bar is stocked. Beautiful views. Lots if seating. I ordered a magnificent margarita and a lakeshore breeze. Ingredients in the pic at the bottom of this review. Bartender was friendly and speedy.

    We only had drinks here after experiencing the Tilt at #360Chicago. We had drinks included in the Tilt tickets. Had the magnificent margarita, was OK. The mix was kinda sweet but had a good amount of tequila! 3 out of 5, because it was sweet for my liking.

    Always wanted to go here and when our friend visited us, took the opportunity to take her to CloudBar. Parking a little tricky to get to due to all the one way streets in downtown and the spiral drive up the parking is tight!! There are plenty of parking but you have to get on one elevator to the next, depending on what floor you parked. Not many directions on how to pay but I finally figured it out after many elevator rides. And, they do validate by the gift shop, which is about $5 off. We purchased the Sip and View package. Place was packed but we were able to see great 360 views of the city and found several seating areas to enjoy one alcoholic beverage on the list. Bar tender did not skimp with alcohol. A bit pricey but great place for a quick history lesson and scenic views of the city!!

    A bar with the most stunning views of Chicago! Sadly we went on a day where there was dust & cloudy weather which obstructed the views but the vibes and service were still great. Such a great spot to take out of town guests or have some date night drinks!

    Luisa J.

    This place was pretty cool although the package was a little deceiving. We came up here for the view and a drink. The package didn't specify that you can only order certain drinks, and all on the list sucked... the first bartender I ordered from did not give me an option and gave me the list of gross drinks to order from. My bf took my drink and let me use his ticket to order a basic vodka soda drink, however the second bartender said I could use it and get a regular drink for a cheaper price with the ticket. I gladly ordered an espresso martini, which was a great drink! I feel like it's kind of wrong to have a package with the drink, and it not include one of the good drinks... would have rather just bought the ticket for the view only and just bought a regular drink. The view here is awesome, and the inside of this place is cute too. But I probably would not come back as it is way too touristy feeling.

    Views are outstanding but drink prices are high. The bar doesn't have a vibe at all and could use one.

    Handicap accessability? Do people who are handicapped have to stand in line?

    Yes, it is accessible! There is a lower bar that is wheelchair accessible at one end as well. I do not know about standing in line, but I would wager this would ultimately depend on the guests present.

    Are kids allowed?

    Since it's located at the top of the Hancock Tower, where kids are already allowed, they cannot really prevent kids from walking through the bar area. When I visited, there were plenty of kids of all ages all around.

The bucatini pesto pasta looked like regurgitated peas baby food and overcooked pasta. I sent it back kindly. And the chicken thighs were cooked. Like, that's all I can say. So I paid, still hungry. Cause the chicken thighs had basically no meat. Crudo is naturally so small and the mussels equally. Left and am now at Hampton Social eating a delicious lobster roll and tomato bisque.

Overcooked with a little sauce and two pickles slapped on the bun with a tiny little dab of fake cheese - it was like a bad and way more expensive version of McDonald's. The onion rings were the frozen crumbly kind not the fresh beer battered kind and so that's a big "no!" for me. The dipping sauce was okay. Service was friendly and I think the guy was new but it wasn't good enough for a place like that at the top of the building. There were two servers so I'm guessing one was training maybe. They didn't make it to my table to check to see if everything was okay while I was eating and it even took them a while to notice that I was done eating. It's was slow so I don't think they were stressing with too many tables. That kind of place should knock your socks off - but it was on the low end of mediocre. I wouldn't go there again for food. Maybe it's a decent place to go to the bar but since I don't drink I can't help much on that end.
