Chic rooftop lounge with cocktails & sweeping city views
"Perched on the 13th floor of the Robey, this intimate cocktail lounge offers sweeping views of the city, with both indoor and outdoor seating so guests can enjoy a breeze or get away from scorching temps. The drinks are great — try the spicy Oaxacan on Broken Glass (mezcal, chile poblano, hellfire bitters) — and despite sitting atop a bustling intersection in one of the trendiest neighborhoods, it somehow still manages to feel like a hideaway." - Ashok Selvam
"This tiny, 13th-floor lounge is all about that larger-than-life view, from the top of the Robey Hotel, smack dab in the center of the Wicker Park neighborhood. A well-dressed and stylish crowd occupies the low-and-deep couches, enjoying thoughtfully crafted cocktails while taking in panoramic views. Check out the Oaxacan on Broken Glass (spice-forward, with Banhez Mezcal, Bittermens Hellfire Bitters, and Ancho Reyes Verde Chile Liqueur) or the Secret Garden (refreshing and aromatic, with vodka, lychee, and elderflower). Expect seasonal menu shifts and a rotating hot toddy riff throughout fall and winter months." - Nicole Schnitzler

"On the 13th floor of the Robey, the hotel at Wicker Park’s Six Corner intersection, the Up Room delivers solid drinks, bar bites, and a distant view of the city’s skyscrapers. Enjoy beverages like the Oaxacan on Broken Glass which is made with mezcal." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
"This tiny, 13th-floor lounge is all about the views, from the top of the Robey Hotel , smack dab in the center of the Wicker Park neighborhood. It's crowd-pleasing as befits a hotel bar, but with a little edge. The cleverly named Oaxacan on Broken Glass is a spice-forward concoction of Banhez mezcal, Hellfire bitters, and Ancho Reyes Verde chile liqueur; the 5 O'Clock Tea has Knob Creek bourbon, Earl Grey tea, and peach shrub." - Brad Japhe
"A Wicker Park hotel’s popular rooftop cocktail bar has been renamed, though there appear to be no other changes to its menu, decor, or house rules." - Daniel Gerzina
