13 Chicago Restaurants With Great Views - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Despite serving tacos, Solana is less a restaurant and more a glorified observatory in the middle of Wicker Park with an incredible city view. While some downtown rooftops have views obstructed by neighboring skyscrapers, this spot on the sixth floor of the Robey Hotel is wide open for prime skyline ogling. And that’s what it should mainly be used for, preferably with a beer or a frozen piña colada, while dipping your feet in their public, humorously small pool. Ignore the dry carne asada and al pastor tacos on the menu. You’re here to get the greatest hits of Chicago skyscrapers in one view—get your phone camera ready." - veda kilaru, john ringor

Solana - Review - Wicker Park - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Solana is less a restaurant and more a glorified observatory in the middle of Wicker Park with an incredible city view. And that’s what it should mainly be used for, preferably with a beer or a frozen piña colada, while dipping your feet in their public, but humorously small, pool. Ignore the carne asada and al pastor tacos on the menu—there’s no need to subject yourself to dry meat and dry tortillas. Unlike some downtown rooftops with views obstructed by neighboring skyscrapers, this spot on the sixth floor of the Robey Hotel is wide open for prime skyline ogling." - John Ringor

"A rebranded sixth-floor rooftop bar at the Robey that aims to replace the previous rooftop concept with a festive, food-forward destination: street tacos made with El Milagro tortillas and a lineup of frozen cocktails such as piña coladas, prickly pear margaritas, and spritzes. Programming will emphasize local DJs, creative partners, and wellness pop-ups like rooftop yoga. The team is targeting a Monday, May 5 debut, with a launch party planned for Saturday, May 10 from 2–6 p.m. that will include food, drink and tamales from Claudio Velez (the Tamale Guy)." - Ashok Selvam
