"This popular rooftop party spot atop the Ace Hotel keeps it cool in the winter by booking the venue with DJs through the season. The indoor space allows for flowing drinks and views overlooking West Loop, while sipping on an always-rotating frozen cocktail to really stick it to winter." - Naomi Waxman

I really liked this bar because we came here on Friday after work and it didn't get too crowded the whole time we were here, and we left at 8. The views are awesome. I only had small issues with the service. They were out of the blood orange margarita, which wasn't a big deal, but some of the people in our party had to wait a very long time for their drinks. I would still come back here though because I like the location and I'd like to see the musical artists they have at night.

Pretty cool spot, right opposite to Google on the 7th floor of Ace hotel. Cocktails in the menu did not appeal too well but definitely a cool spot to hangout with friends which also has a small outdoor area facing google building. I wouldn't mind going to this place again.

Great spot for groups or date night. Dj booth in middle of u shape space. Two bars and of course outdoor space.

Great rooftop bar, with beautiful views of the sunset. They also serve a handshake and a frozen cocktail, so you're definitely a winner here.

Awesome view of downtown from Fulton market perspective. Friendly bartenders and delicious drinks. Was just getting started at 5pm on a Friday

Came here on a quiet winter Monday for their Six Dollar Mondays special, where they serve $6 burgers, $6 select cocktails, and $6 beer and shot combos. The restaurant/bar was fairly empty but with enough other patrons to not feel lonely. I enjoyed the overall neon/chillwave/lounge aesthetic and it had a very cozy feeling. I enjoyed both the burger and cocktail offering, but was a little disappointed there weren't any sides with the burger (but hey it was $6). It was too cold to want to go out on their patio, but I definitely plan on visiting again to relax for a drink and enjoy the view.

Really love this place! Great view, cool crowd, beautiful building. Fun to go with friends. Great place to try an after-date cocktail. If you have the chance just ask Adrien to make you his favorite cocktail with the liquor base of your choice. It's always good.
