Without a doubt, CloudBar located in the 360 Chicago has the most amazing skyline view of Chicago and the lake. Located in the 94th floor, you entered through the 360 Chicago observation Deck. The Floor to ceiling windows allow for breathtaking panoramic views. The Bar is modern and offers craft beers and specialty cocktails. No reservation needed and stay as long as you want.

It was great views. The vibes were kinda off as I went late and it felt like staff wanted to leave. Especially by the bar. But the tilt and the ambiance was amazing

Heavenly martini
Kathleen D.

This was a one-time novelty experience. I would otherwise never spend $23 before tip for a cocktail. Without even knowing about the special effects on their heavenly martini, that was the option I chose. A guy standing by saw them add the "clouds" to it and promptly ordered it himself as well. It was a tasty sipper! My boyfriend ordered the All Heart cocktail and had good things to say. It didn't take terribly long to be served either despite the hearty Sunday night crowd.

Cloud Bar is located at 360 Chicago, so be careful with trip planning and what time and date you go or you'll be trampled by tourists... or kids on a field trip. With average cocktails at a steep price but aye, you're really there for the view. We did the top package so got to do the TILT experience which was not that scary or exciting for me, I thought we were gonna be tilted at a 90 degree angle completely horizontal, but it was less then a 45-degree angle, and they upcharge and push this as an experience....... This is the reason for my 4. stars. You can pay extra for the tilt and then you'll get one drink included from CloudBar. I enjoyed the decor and lots of seating options, countertop bar vibes against the glass looking out at the cityscape and large auditorium-style bleachers to accommodate large groups./ The views from the 94th floor speak for themselves, very informative and set up like a museum, learned alot about Chicago and the different neighborhoods and their rich cultural history while here. Service was great the bartenders were all friendly and Chicago/Illinois locals. Overall a fun place to explore, and have a cocktail would recommend to people but wouldn't ever go back personally. My only con is that they don't serve food. but I'm not going to knock a star for that, they do have a full cafe with premade sandwiches chips cookies and other snacks

Entering seems like you're heading through a tunnel in Tron which is kind of neat and entertaining. The picture section you just know it's going to be expensive but fun to see the finished product. Once you get to the top there is plenty of room to find a spot to hang out. I went during sunset which was beautiful. The bartenders were VERY busy making drinks, they could probably hire a few more people but I made it easy and ordered something in a can for efficiency. They have some light snack too for purchase which hits the spot. Definitely a neat touristy Chicago thing or a fun date night for sunset or to watch the summer fireworks.

This is one of the many vies at the cloud bar in Chicago.  It was a great place to have a drink, chat, and discuss the breathtaking views.

The service was good. I went here with my daughter. We both had a delicious drink. The views were amazing.

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?

Drinks with a view

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.

Margarita
Autumnn G.

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.

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

Revolution Hazy IPA
Stephen D.

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.

How muchto get to the bar?

It costs $44 just to get into the John Hancock building. Get your receipt. Then take the elevator up to the 94th floor and it's free to the Cloud Bar. You can pay for certain drinks upstairs besides the ones included with the entrance ticket, most… 

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.

As we were leaving, we were on the ground floor. A serious man in a suit came and stopped us. He was holding a bill in his hand and said we didn't swipe our card. I immediately offered my card to him a few times. He was stoic, so serious. He was absolutely not apologetic or friendly. We took an awkward elevator ride up together and then he took me to the counter to get my card swiped. Not a single person was friendly here. I regret adding any tip! This deserved 0. My card was sitting at that table for 10-15 mins and the waiter never came to get it. My friend and I felt really bad and felt like criminals. If you look at our bill we had even added tip and calculated the total. Does it look like we weren't trying to pay? Usually your card is swiped and then you get the receipt where you fill out your tip and add on the total. The fact that we had to stand at the bar to pay was weird too. They were not kind. If I could go back in time I'd discuss this with them and pay 0 tip. My friend was here a night before and will not be going again. I deeply regret coming here. Drinks are watery and for this price...the world is your oyster. Go elsewhere!

That said, this place just completely disappointed. The food was just not good. I had the burger sliders and for $9 a piece you expect them to be something special. They were not. 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.

It was upstairs in the building and had a great brewery vibe - laid back and fun. The decor had a big giant furry creature (the giant from the name) doing all kinds of different things like climbing buildings and posing with farmers, such a great touch! There was a bar to sit at when you first walked in and there seemed to be lots of locals, which is always a great sign. I was hungry so we decided to get a table. The server was friendly and I was so excited when I saw they had flights! I love flights because you can try lots of different beers in one sitting. They also had traditional bar snacks like wings and nachos and other sandwiches including hamburgers. It all looked good but I was feeling a salad and had the chopped salad. It was fresh and filling. Paid with my beer flight, it was a great experience! I would definitely recommend Crushed by Giants for a beer and some snacks!
