Awesome view? Food, cocktails and service!
Sebastiaan Van CauwenbergeOctober 3, 2012
Great location, great atmosphere! Excellent service. Delicious food! Certainly worth a visit.
SuzieQ_SAJanuary 15, 2013
Be sure to check out the ladies restroom for an awesome view!
Kelly KreiderJune 4, 2012
Amazing view, service not so much. Sat at our table with only a menu for 20 minutes without a sign of a server. We decided to take a look out the windows and they then sat someone else at our table.
Stefanie VenezianoAugust 23, 2016
The views are nice, and the drinks are expensive (to be expected.) But the service is very lackluster.
Jin ChenJuly 23, 2013
Skip the observatory and use your money toward a drink here instead. Ladies, for the best view, go to the restroom!
Jia O.May 24, 2016
Enjoy the views from the Hancock Center with a moscow mule
Chad BarnettNovember 17, 2013
Amazing view of the city from the 96th floor for only the cost of a drink!
Roger WoolumsSeptember 27, 2018
Great place to have a couple drinks with an amazing view.
Rob AbbyJuly 22, 2012
The sliders were good. Can't beat it on a clear day at sunset!
Latham BrunsonApril 2, 2015
Great view of you can force your way into a window table. The service is slow and the drinks are expensive.
Angie HFebruary 16, 2014
Great view, the Esquire, strawberry mojitos are tasty but the worst Moscow Mule I've ever tasted.
R NSeptember 17, 2015
Worrh the view! Bartenders are amazing! Se habla español :)
Caroline ScottMay 17, 2013
Great views, mediocre cocktails. Check out the womens bathroom for bonus views!
Fernando SosaOctober 15, 2013
This place is very green.. They re use cocktail napkins.. No joke.. I'm for being green but these guys went to far
Adam LaczoMay 15, 2014
The maple bacon manhattan is kitschy, but if you like a real Manhattan, this drink isn't for you.
Alyssa WMay 18, 2016
come here for the view, not the drinks - be warned, they're overly sweet.
Amy CummingsApril 1, 2018
The best view is from the women’s restroom.
Mohammad AbusharifFebruary 17, 2015
Amazing view and place
Gaurav ZibbuApril 15, 2014
This place rocks...I am told the ladies restroom has an awesome view :-)
Rika POctober 6, 2014
One of the best lounges in Chicago
Tabitha JohnsonJuly 18, 2015
The view from the ladies' room is the best in the building.
Maren BjørgumMarch 9, 2014
The view is amazing. But don't get fooled by the mojito selection, they all taste like slurpee.
Chris WilliamsJune 20, 2013
Expensive but when in good company you enjoy it!
Deandra MulliganSeptember 4, 2017
This place is a zoo! Complete disaster. No organization. Tables are not first come first serve. It's more like pay to play if you want a table by the window. Pay the $20 and go to the 94th floor.
Anna OMarch 20, 2012
I'm pretty sure the "cheese plate" consists of Ritz crackers & Kraft cheese slices. That aside, the view is amazing!
ValerieSeptember 12, 2014
View from the ladies room may be better than the actual lounge. No view in men's room though, sorry guys.
SPQROctober 18, 2015
The views are amazing... Tipping the host can get you a better table.
Olivia SzetoSeptember 29, 2014
best view of the city at night. drop dead gorgeous!
Mike MollicaSeptember 5, 2017
Great views, horrendous service.
Erin GApril 6, 2018
The drinks are pricey and not very exciting but the view is worth it.
Marcell AbranchesNovember 4, 2013
Incredible view of Chicago! Get a drink and enjoy.
Eva 🐾 BanovaJanuary 19, 2016
Amazing views and great drinks
Andrew ManwaringApril 14, 2015
Get a drink up here for spectacular views of the city!
Carlo BarrosAugust 25, 2013
If you're coming up for the view, at least buy yourself a drink, you cheapass tourists. Really.
Kirill KukuruzaMarch 2, 2016
The best view on Chicago
Casey JAugust 25, 2014
Great view with great food and drinks.
Shena CameseAugust 18, 2013
Best view in the city. Pass on Easy Street Martini.
Heather MurrayMarch 15, 2015
Go on a Wed (9p) or Sat (10p) to look down on the Navy Pier fireworks on the east side.
Ani RoyJuly 4, 2013
Mind blowing view!! A must stop if you're visiting Chicago!!
Caroline Kay Hwa TanMay 25, 2013
Do request to be next in line to sit near the glass panels. Otherwise we prepared to wait a while!
Katherine M.July 14, 2015
The bar in the building formerly known as the Sears Tower. Expensive drinks, but you're there for the views. Skip if foggy.
Shane FrostMarch 16, 2012
Martinis right before sunset from the top of the John Hancock. Great start to the evening.
Nazneen RupawallaMay 20, 2022
The mouse cake was amazing!!!
Alexander Dudok De WitAugust 20, 2012
Free to get to, unlike the observatory, and it's a level higher.
Jana A. KriJuly 2, 2016
Super fancy! And you want to see this view - better when dark imho.
Roman KazminMay 18, 2013
Great view for the price of beer(beer included)
UpShift DigitalOctober 24, 2017
Great view, even on a cloudy day. But pricey.
Haley Leigh✌August 1, 2016
Most high class place I've ever drank at👑
Andrea CookDecember 11, 2011
The best scenery is from the ladies room. It is a must see.
