The Up Room

Excellent experience, great drinks and the view is fantastic. Wife and i stopped in for a few drinks. 530pm on a Tuesday and it was perfect. Plenty of space and no crowds. We tried the mixed nuts and olives, both were a good snack. I had a whistle Pig 15 and she ordered a Zen Garden. We also tried an IPA and she did a Mocktail. Temperature was a bit chilly but we still enjoyed the view and service was great. Staff was friendly professional and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Rooftop gem in Wicker Park. The drinks here are on point every time I've come here. This visit got the excellent Negroni which was superb 👌🏽 9.5. This is not a large place but the views at the top is worth the visit.

The Up Room NEVER Disappoints! Ever! Wanted to clarify from another reviewer, AUTO GRATUITY is ONLY on checks for 6 or more people. Not EVERY check. We have been there for 2 of us, and 7 of us. The only automatic gratuity was our big group. With that said, be a good human, tip your servers and bar staff at least 20%! Now! On to my own review! NEVER have we had a bad experience here. Not once. We've been at least a dozen times since moving here. Indoor service, outdoor service, bar service. Always perfection. We love the little charcuterie boards here too. The cheeses, meats, nut mix is yummy, as are the olives! The cocktails are literally to die for. SO GOOD! AND they have those absolutely beautiful clear huge ice cubes! Gorgeous in an Old Fashioned! This lounge has very talented and skillful bartenders, who are literally so creative and artistic! It's a blast to go there and say, "Surprise me!" and then be served something incredible! The staff here are also SO friendly and helpful. And QUICK. We have never been left waiting. In the dozen or so times we have been there, we have had experiences with Audrey, Demetrio, Alice, Emma, Seth, Jesenia, and Managers Keke and Germaine. All absolute professionals. It's rare to find so many incredible people are in one place. I guess this is how you end up with "our favorite spot!" How do I know all their names? Because that is JUST HOW GOOD the experience is there. Worth remembering! Oh! Almost forgot, THE VIEW!! WOWOW!!! Take that view in! It's so worth it!

Had an aviation and the cocktails were good, but overall the views at night are unbeaten. This is easily one of the coolest and best views in the city. Would strongly recommend for a date or just to have a low key night with people who are visiting. The views and the ambiance remind you of a rooftop bar you'd find in Europe. The music is great but not over the top that you cant have a conversation with the people you are with. Overall worth the price of the cocktails.

I was here a couple of years ago and had a bizarre experience. It was night time and they had artificial lights on the tables, that were pretty cool. If you tipped the lights and looked under them, you could see that you could change the color of the lights. I thought that was awesome, and so we played around with the lights for a bit. After a bit, the lights would automatically switch back to the color that they were originally. Little did we know that they were being remotely modified by someone who worked for the hotel. That's all fine; but at one point, someone came over and scolded us for playing with the lights! They also did this to st least one other table. I literally said to this person, "wait, are you serious?" What a bizarre power trip. I'm returning to Chicago this weekend and we thought about going to Robey again. However, given this strange experience, I've decided that I don't want anything to do with that establishment. I hope they have fun controlling the lights on the tables and yelling at their clientele for having a bit of fun.

13th Floor! The Up Room located in the Robey Hotel in the Wicker Park area. A Very cozy intimate and beautiful rooftop. Views from the rooftop were breathtaking! The nightlife in Chicago is something different I tell ya! Stopped in for drinks after a great dinner, decided to try out a cute rooftop! Perfect for the winter moments as they have a cute Warming Shack. They also have a dope rooftop pool that sits on the other side of the bar which is great for summer months. They also have a cute cocktail menu with plenty of options. Our server was great, he served us with grace. Check em out!

A view so good that it somehow makes up for some of the slowest service in Chicago. Been coming here for 4 years and invariably have to expect a 10+ min wait to get an order in after being seated. There's way worse views to take in while you wait though. Cocktails are good. Beer selection surprisingly uninspiring (Tecate, Heineken, Goose IPA) considering how many great Chicago options there are out there.

Cool vibe and friendly atmosphere. I came by on a Friday evening- it was a bit crowded, but still easy to find a spot. The bartender, Audrey, really knows her craft! She made an excellent whiskey sour and made sure everyone at the bar felt taken care of. Will definitely visit again!

I recently visited The Up Roomlocated in the Robey Hotel in Wicker Park with some co-workers after a work dinner, and it was an amazing experience. We went on a weeknight without a reservation and had no problem getting a table outside. The view from the rooftop is absolutely stunning -- hands down the best I've seen of the city since moving here. If you're visiting, this spot is a must just for the skyline alone. The cocktails were solid and surprisingly affordable for such a nice place. I got a Moscow Mule that was perfectly portioned, and we also had a couple of beers, all reasonably priced. It's the kind of place that feels upscale but doesn't break the bank at all compared to some other cocktail rooftop bars in downtown. What really stood out was the vibe. It wasn't crowded at all, even on a summer night, making it a great spot for a more relaxed evening. With plenty of space, great views, and chill ambiance, I'd definitely recommend stopping by during the week. Whether you're a local or just visiting, The Up Room offers the perfect balance of atmosphere, drinks, and cityscapes!

I would recommend this place solely on the view. This bar is such a cool spot to go to during the warmer months. The drinks were good and the service was nice. You are able to take the elevator directly to the top floor. The bar is not the biggest area, so I recommend coming early to get a seat outside to enjoy the view.

Robey Rooftop: We came here for a private event and it was wonderful! Views: The views are beautiful. It is cool to be able to look at the city in a different angle and appreciate the beauty of it. Drinks: The espresso martini and skinny margarita was delicious. The bartenders working the event were so patient and very professional (even when they could have easily been very overwhelmed). Food: Their focaccia like bread, veggie sandwich, and hummus were a personal favorite. I can't wait to come back and try out the cafe and other parts of the hotel!

So funny story, every time I am in the Wicker Park area, I make an attempt to walk-in to this place but was always unfortunate, however, for the first time on a Friday night, we got lucky and I could finally visit this cocktail bar! (with a large party?!) Up room was the final stop on our food and drinks crawl experience and we loved it! They do not have a lot of tables inside however they have a pretty huge patio. We also found out an enclosed space where our party could relax and enjoy good conversations. The enclosed space was heated so we could enjoy it even on a cold wintery night. My friend and I tried Chai me to the Moon and Sky High cocktails and they were amazing! I'll definitely come back to try more cocktails. The view is beautiful and you can see the entire Chicago skyline on a clear night! Overall, a nice cocktail bar you should check out if you are in the neighborhood.

This cocktail bar is great, they have a lot of drink options and a wonderful view of the city, it's so beautiful. Highly recommend!

After several failed attempts to get a table at the Up Room in the past, we finally got a table. The space is relatively small in terms of seating, but the patio is huge. There is also an enclosed seating space which very few know about. We tried the chai me to the moon and the Sky High cocktails, both of which were great. The service was fast and the server was attentive. The view is just breathtaking and was definitely the main highlight! They have an unobstructed view of the whole downtown skyline and it is a treat to the eyes.

Enjoyed after dinner drinks at Up Room recently. Up Room is a rooftop bar atop the Robey Hotel. It has a modern, sleek vibe and is surrounded by windows on 2 of its 3 sides. Service was very good. They allowed us to choose our table, and we chose indoors because it was so windy. I ordered a glass of wine (extensive wine list to choose from) and my daughter selected a cocktail that she enjoyed. The real draw is exploring the patio outside. It's 2 sides of a triangle with amazing views of downtown. Definitely a place for a photo op with your friends or family!

Awesome views of the city!!! A roommate and I stopped by and loved the drinks and the gentleman who waited on us was super friendly and even made my drinks mocktails as I had to be sober. Would definitely stop by again!

Recently visited Chicago and Up Room. What's Up Room? Not much, but Up Room is a very nice bar that has an amazing view of the city, especially at night. It's a rooftop bar that is on the 20-something floor and has a great view into the tall buildings of the city. The food and drinks are also great. They have some very interesting specialty cocktails and some good food to snack on. I tried a spiced Oaxacan cocktail and their charcuterie board, which was a decent amount to share with 3-5 people. The ambiance and service was also really nice. It has a comforting and relaxing atmosphere as a small bar, and the servers were very personable and gave us recommendations on drinks. Overall, would highly recommend.

This is my second time visiting this super low key rustic/ vintage rooftop in Bucktown's downtown area. I say downtown lightly but it's still a whole vibe. Note, this low key rooftop is inside the Robey Hotel which in and of itself is hard to miss if you're not quite sure what you're looking for. The first time I attended was a summer Friday evening and it was popping. The drinks were delicious and the service was top tier even during rush-hour/ season. This past Thursday evening I have to say it was a different feel but I still enjoyed my experience. My neighbor and I chose to come here to catch up with a low key vibe. I ordered the neon nights and he ordered the Oaxacan on Broken Glass beverage. First rule, order both! Second, enjoy because these were quite tasty. For a $17.00/ piece drink, this definitely was worth it. I'd be sure to return.

The sunset and nighttime view of the city is the reason to come to this rooftop bar. The cocktails are decent, though I personally think the nearby The Violet Hour makes better drinks. Service was timely, and the staff were knowledgeable. The NA drinks were reasonably complex, in order to justify the similar price to alcoholic drinks. TLDR: come here for the view, especially in good weather in the summer.

NEVER have we had a bad experience here. Not once. We've been at least a dozen times since moving here. Indoor service, outdoor service, bar service. Always perfection. We love the little charcuterie boards here too. The cheeses, meats, nut mix is yummy, as are the olives! The cocktails are literally to die for. SO GOOD!

Because that is JUST HOW GOOD the experience is there. Worth remembering! Oh! Almost forgot, THE VIEW!! WOWOW!!! Take that view in! It's so worth it!

Easily one of the best cocktails I have had in the city!! The Oaxacan on Broken Glass is the only cocktail I have had that has gotten progressively better as you drink it. They light the rosemary garnish so the presentation as incredible, and you taste the spicy flavor changes to the smokiness of the rosemary as you drink it. Still thinking about it! Not to mention the views and the ambiance are fabulous; it's a very unique view of the city. The service was great too. Cant wait to go back!!

I think this is hands down one of the best views of the city from this direction, and to be able to have drinks from up here in a beautiful setting makes it 10x better. The drinks are pretty much similar to what they have downstairs on the second floor, but I went with something else up here and it was great! There are two gender neutral bathrooms here and they are very clean as well. It would awesome to stay here at this hotel as guest!

This is the most beautiful place in Chicago! The view was immaculate! To see all of the city lights was perfect! The service was great. The waitress were helpful and nice! The drinks were alright, nothing too unique, and were a few oz. The price was pretty high, but it makes sense for the view you are getting. I'm not sure if i would come back. I think one time was good enough.

Really cute spot to grab drinks with a view! I forget which drinks I got but they were good and fairly priced!

I've been here a couple of times and have had no issues after getting through the door, however... We just wanted to check out the rooftop bar at the up room and realized that it stopped allowing new visitors at 12 AM on Fridays, so we rushed over to spend some time there at 11:55 before they closed. When taking the elevator to the top, we were rudely greeted by a hostess telling us to go back downstairs. We asked why and she told us last call was at midnight. We responded saying "it is 11:55" but still she persisted and ushered us out of the bar. This was incredibly disappointing and upsetting to us, as we were just visiting and now don't get to see the place. I've never had this experience but the hostess was so rude I had to leave a review. I see many similar reviews of this same nature

Went up the gold escalators after dinner at Cafe Robey around 9:30-10pm ish on a Sunday without a reservation and we were seated right away. It was pretty empty when we were seated, but it steadily filled up as the night went on. This place has the most stunning view of the city skyline. Once you get your waters and drinks, you're able to get up and walk outside without your seat being taken. They have heat lamps outside too. The inside feels cozy and intimate with the dim lights and music. The music wasn't loud so it was easy to carry a conversation. You don't have to shout to be heard. Perfect date spot All the drinks were delicious and came out pretty quickly. Peach emoji and lucky 13 were sweet, almost candy like. Oaxacan has a fun, smokey element that you can keep or remove by taking out the smoked thyme. Old fashioned was a sweeter rendition of the classic drink. I'll definitely keep this place in mind for when I have out of town guests to show them a different view of Chicago skyline.

WOW! This place has an absolutely stunning view! Service - 5/5 - Got seated immediately with no reservations. Our waiter was conscious of my partners bad knee and made sure our seats were accessible without us even asking. Nice, personable and friendly staff. Ambiance - 5/5 - LOVE! Inside had great lighting so you can see the gorgeous lights of the city. The bar was surrounded with glass and you're able to go outside on the terrace to take further pictures and admire the view. Drinks - 4/5 - We got the espresso martini and the oaxacan broken glass. Both were made well with quality ingredients at a great price point. Overall, a great place to grab a quick drink with an awesome view. Would love a romantic date night :) We'll be back here on our next trip!

One of my favorite cocktail joints in the city! It oozes a nice amount of sex appeal as it has an amazing view of the city from a 360 perspective. Downtown just looks stunning from this view! Sitting inside is nice as well. This place is located in The Robey Hotel on the very busy NW corner of North, Milwaukee & Damen. Service here is always on point as I've been here on dates and with friends and its always good! The drinks are of course very good! One standout cocktail is the Oaxacan On Broken Glass, which is a mezcal cocktail. I definitely recommend! The Robey Old Fashioned, Black Manhattan and The Purple Rain is very good as well! With all this said, you can purchase champagne, wine, beer and neat spirits if you choose...there is a good amount of options. Small bites are available as well. Vibe here is amazing as its a chill spot which is always up my alley! It's not a huge internal space but its pretty cozy especially for dates. Get here if you haven't been.

This place has one of the best views in the chi and the most amazing craft cocktails! I ordered a Penicillin (a drink even some experienced bartenders aren't familiar with) and the bartender Emma did an exceptional job making it. And to top it all off my server Alice was extremely sweet and accommodating. Whether you're a Chicago native or just visiting for vacation, I couldn't recommend this place more!

Our group had a surprise engagement party for our friends here and we rented the corner space through coordination by Jillian from the Robey team. They were super flexible with our budget and allowed us to pick from a number of stationed appetizers and have a bar tab. Once we reached our minimum for the tab, they switched It to a cash bar! The coordination with Jillian's team was impecable and we cannot recommend her or this place enough for your next private gathering !

We took an Uber to get here and came right when they were closing, unbeknownst to us. So you can imagine our faces showed shock, sadness and disappointment. But Patrick was super cool and still let us in so we could see the views. Aaand he still let us order drinks! We were super happy we could stay. The view was lovely and Patrick was so cool. The inside is dark but romantic with table candles and very intimate.

Host was very very rude. We were waiting in line for 15 min she left the stand didn't come back, then when it was our turn she tells us there's a wait. Was looking forward to try this place out for a while and it didn't impress by any means.

What a cool bar! This place is swanky. It's has very dim lighting. Very chill and relaxed atmosphere. You can step outside and you are high enough to see the city from the balcony! Service was fine. It was quick and friendly enough. Perfect for this type of place. They have a full bar, with limited brands. Many creative and custom drinks. I had a lemon drop martini that was perfectly sweet and sour. I also had an espresso martini that was really yummy, but a little sweet. Drinks can be pricey, but so worth it for the experience!

I saw an Instagram story of this place and had to check it out. Definitely did not disappoint. What a great spot! I went on a Wednesday night so there weren't too many people. We were seated right away. Everyone was really attentive and helpful. The views are amazing! Wow. I love seeing this side of Chicago. We were able to go outside and explore the 360 view of Chicago. The drinks were also amazing. There were $17+. I got the purple rain and the kiss like a rose. With just those two drinks, I was already feeling it. Great spot for a date night to talk over drinks. Definitely will come back here again

The Up Room at the Robey Hotel located between Ukrainian Village and Bucktown, is this super hip, very nice, and popular rooftop bar serving some amazing cocktails. It was so busy this Friday night that we had to walk in sideways. Dark, old school we were afforded some of the best "people watching" we've had in the eleven months we've been living here in Chicago. My son and I had Wild Turkey 101 with a side of branch water The girls had The Roby Old Fashion made with Evan Williams Bonded 100 proof Bourbon and angostura, demerra and orange that they loved We walked outside on this blistering cold night to catch a 360° view of this incredible city, with Damon & Milwaukee avenues lit up to show off its "Holiday Lights". It was quite a spectacle. I really want to come back here in the summer and sit outside and see Chicago in an opposite season - and I will.

Drinks were good and creative but the seating was terrible. Truly, maybe we got unlucky but it was the most uncomfortable seats ever. Outdoor area was closed due to being winter, which makes sense. Probably better to visit when this is open for the views. Food options were limited and not great, so this is definitely place for drinks only.

Rude service! My friends and I went here to have cocktails, and the hostess was very snappy and dismissive. The last time I was here, it was easy to just sit at the bar or in the lounge for drinks, but now they're overcrowdedand the wait times are ridiculous!

Fabulous rooftop view of Chicago skyline. Romantic mellow vibe with a small intimate setting. You'll love it

Hottest rooftop bar in Chicago!!! Service and drinks are always on point. The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable and always have great drink recommendations.

While the drinks are amazing and the views are great, I do not like where the menu went. I have been here multiple times. The last time I was here I got the Oaxacan on Broken Glass. This drink was good, but it did not meet my expectations. Granted spicy drinks are not my favorite and this was nothing different. The Surprisingly Good cocktail, or whatever it is called was, Malort based. I thought this was a very good take on the hometown liquor and would definitely be a good way to introduce people to it. The drink is very Malort forward and was pretty bitter, but I like it and it was a good choice. Both drinks felt weak to me. I am not going to deduct a star but I am tempted. Regrettably La Madame Blanche was not on the menu and that drink was way better than the two I tried.

Up Room has one of the best views of Chicago. It's located north of the loop so you get a great view of the whole skyline. The inside is very cozy and small. There are only 4 seats at the bar, so it's pretty intimate. There are also some other seats and couches surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. The outside goes about 270 degrees around the building so you can see the city from different angles. In the winter there are heaters that I have to say are pretty effective. There is also a small grotto with open seating. The drinks have overly fancy names, but the bartenders do a great job in mixing them. This is the kind of bar where you can enjoy a nice conversation in a cozy atmosphere with a great view with a small group. Come with your favorite friends or on a date. To get here, enter the hotel and take the elevator to the top.

The waiter spilled the drink on us and was barely apologetic about it. Even though we weren't charged for the drinks, they were taken away as soon as we stepped out for some views. Terribly disappointed trying the place for the first time.

Perfect spot for a date and with an amazing view of the Chicago skyline Drinks are good I wish they had more snacks options though

I've been wanting to visit Up Room for awhile now and was so glad I did this past weekend. It's a beautiful bar on the 13th floor of Hotel Robey. It was relatively warm (mid 40s) for December and it had been raining, so it was pretty misty. The skyline was barely visible from the top floor but lucky for us, I'll say the foggy weather made for a shorter wait-time. You'll enter on the 1st floor, then take the stairs to the 2nd floor where you'll put your name down with the hostess. If it's really crowded, you have the opportunity to grab drinks at the bar named "The Lounge" right on the 2nd floor. It's intimate and cozy. We sat down just for a few minutes at The Lounge before my phone buzzed with a text message that our table was ready, and we headed to meet the hostess. We were guided to a tiny elevator that at most, maybe fit 6 people standing shoulder-to-shoulder, and whisked to the 13th floor to Up Room. I loved this vintage elevator, with sea green walls, gold-plated frames, and button knobs to press. It was about the size of a large food pantry and it was awesome. It's a great date spot, a place to bring visitors, or an excuse to do something that feels a little glitzy. The staff was were down to earth and friendly - I thought the service was great. At Up Room, you'll be directed to your seats and offered a coat check. You will also be given kettle corn to munch on while deciding on what to order. I ended up choosing a house favorite cocktail with pisco (I forgot the name). I also got to try a sip of the "Carrot Cake on the Rocks." Their menu is divided into "Up" drinks (martini-style, sweet & tart) and "Down" drinks (Old Fashioned-type drinks, 'relieved or accentuated by the garnish). The drink names are pretty punny and there is even a section of drinks themed after the great Chicago Fire. They also serve beer, wine, and whiskey. We grabbed our drinks to look outside and even with the mist hiding the skyline, the views are spectacular. On the roof, you get to see the city from 3 different directions, it's almost a 360 view. There's a little "castle" enclave which overlooks 6 corners (where North Ave, Milwaukee, and Damen intersect). This dome with heaters, blankets, seats, and tables for your drinks. Up Room is a reminder of the beauty, glam, and elegance of Chicago. What a treat to spend a few hours here!

Up Room is exactly what Wicker Park needed! It's located on the 13th floor rooftop of The Robey Hotel but stop off on the second floor to check in first. When we went, the wait was just about 20 minutes (at 8pm on a Saturday night) so we added our name to the list. You can then wait in the low key second floor indoor lounge which is cool or head to the 6th floor Cabana Club which has both indoor & outdoor seating. When they text, you can't transfer drinks so need to finish up what you had & get back to check-in within 10 minutes for your admission upstairs. There are no assigned seats and you just grab what you like upstairs. There is both indoor & outdoor seating but we fell in love with the semi-outdoor castle seats. If you walk outside onto the rooftop, you'll find a small castle looking area in the corner with just about 10 seats inside. We camped here the entire night getting that fresh outdoor breeze but being sheltered from the drizzle happening. It was so rustic and fun looking, we truly did become enamored with the space. We stuck with beers throughout the night and only tried one of their cocktails which did not impress us. The Green Mill ($15) which is a lovely name homage to a Chicago staple falls way flat. It had Aylesbury Duck Vodka, Oaky Chardonnay, Homemade Pistachio Orgeat, Magnolia Vermouth and Freeze Dried Cucumber spread throughout the top. We all tried it and were like "Ugh!"...we saw another near us order the same & do the same with her face. Ha! A swing and a miss with that concoction. One cocktail aside, my main gripes are what I'm sure are the same issues with rooftops downtown. Service is painfully slow (though when we went right up to the small bar it was super fast and incredibly friendly each time) and things are overpriced. A Sofie was $10 and a Pipeworks beer was $8, c'mon that's a no brainier! I'l absolutely be back for fitting occasions which could mean a date night, celebration night, showing out of towners a good time...there are really endless opportunities! I won't be going for their cocktails again though and will stick to the beers & wines.

Awesome views! Highly recommend to stop in and grab a drink. You can get a good view of the city and it wasn't extremely packed on a Friday night which was nice. I'd get a picture of yourself with the city background before you leave! It comes out really nice. Drinks were a little expensive as expected but the "rice" cocktail was interesting to try!

The Up Room is a must WHENEVER I am in the neighborhood! Highest point in Wicker and the 360 views are to die for. Try to make a reservation because there are around 11 tables available at a time. My pals and I popped up to the roof for a drink on a Sunday afternoon. The host/manager Lane is a gem!!! She let us know the wait without a reservation would be 20 mins max. We waited around 6 mins for the table to open up. Booyah! Lane is so cool and nice. She shares a bday with our pal and bought him (and us) belated birthday shots thank you Keela was our server and recommended the P&Go as a refreshing drink. They came in these wicked cool copper glasses. Super refreshing 10/10. Thanks for the great experience Lane and Keela!!! See you soon.

This place is a mid century mod dream! Sitting atop the hotel it has ana amazing view of downtown. It's so cool to watch the hustle and bustle below in this quaint little bar. The drinks we had were delicious and strong. The dark lighting and quaint space create the perfect chill vibe. Although, I live in California now, I have still made it there twice in the last two months. Since it is on the smaller side, especially during the colder months with the loss of the use of the patio, there may be a wait. Be patient and kind. :) The place is a perfect spot for a date night. Can't wait to visit again.

Came here for drinks after my birthday dinner, had a small wait but was faster than they said it would be & when I said I had just got drinks at the downstairs bar they saved a space for us & said to come up whenever we were ready! Great service. Beautiful view. Sexy ambiance, will be back for a date night! (Go in the winter, less crowded & has a more private feel!)

Drinks with a view The Up Room is a great rooftop lounge to enjoy a drink or two with a date, friends, or anyone you'd like to impress. Located on the rooftop of the Robey hotel, the Up Room provides a nice selection of cocktails. Our favorites were the Sage Advice, Cocchi Spritz, and the Blondes Have More Fun! The Blondes Have More Fun has Rum, Passion Fruit, Vanilla, and Tobasco. I was very intrigued on how a drink with tobasco would taste good but it was a surprisingly delicious. It was a nice hint of spice slightly neutralized with the passion fruit.

Great place to hang out after bars or before for a pre drinks similar to the path laid out in Swingers. A great view of the city can be seen here, which I sometimes forget exists with all of the day to day hustle and bustle. An expansive cocktail menu is present, especially for whiskey's! When arriving here it feels like a secret hipster locale, back-alley type of place where you have to do a secret knock to know which floor to get off on the elevator!

Friends were in town so we took them here for a quick drink. It was tough finding a nice touristy rooftop spot that was open on Monday, but this place didn't disappoint. It's part of The Robey Hotel and since it's located in Wicker Park, we got a great view of the skyline. We ordered the Double Black Diamond, Georgia Peach, and Let's Not Mints Words. All of them were good, but nothing spectacular in terms of craft cocktails. And for $16-18, you're def paying for the ambiance than the drink. I can't speak for some of the comments about a specific rude hostess; we were served by two lovely ladies (who weren't blonde) and the atmosphere was great. I wouldn't come here on my own, but if you got a friend in town, it's a great place to take them to.

What an amazing rooftop. The view is so great you will enjoy every sip of your drink. Drinks are a little over priced you are paying for the view I paid $50 for 2 drinks

The Up Room has to be one of my favorite hidden gems in Chicago. I don't make it over to Wicker Park often, but when I do, this is one of the many places at the top of my list. Nestled on the top floor of the Robey Hotel, the Up Room provides a warm atmosphere with great views of the city. With an eclectic menu of hand crafted cocktails, their service and modern ambiance will surely not disappoint you. Whether you're spending the afternoon with friends or looking for a new date spot, I would highly recommend venturing to this trendy destination. I can't wait to be back soon!

We stopped here after getting dinner. Went up to the top floor roof, the UpRoom which is just the most beautiful view of the city at night. It was just like a postcard! The pictures I took on my cell phone absolutely did not do it justice. It was such a beautiful experience. Would probably be a beautiful and romantic evening if you're on a date. We just each got a drink and enjoyed the atmosphere. It wasn't super busy, but had a nice crowd. We met the manager, Lane, who was super friendly and super nice. We enjoyed our conversation with her. Her staff loves her too! The drink was pretty good, beautifully presented, though I've had better, but the conversation and atmosphere made up for that. A great place to go to get a great view of the city and have some nice conversation. There is an indoor bar which also looked nice.

Very nice spot. It can be tricky to get in though. My friend and I went up and they had put us on a wait list. Mind you it was 4th of July, but then about 15 minutes later our friend went up and had told us he had gotten in. So our wait was shortened. The rooftop was very nice, and elegant. I wanted to check out the Cabana park but that was closed off. I ordered a drink and 3 shots which came out to be about $40!! So drinks are a bit pricey.
