Great view, great drinks, great experience. You can't leave Chicago without visiting this place. You get an elevator ride to the 96th floor and can choose either the restaurant or the bar/lounge. We opted for the lounge. The place is VERY busy as you could expect for a place with such a view, so please be patient. Service is very quick and appreciated. The drinks are well made- there were non alcoholic options also available, which we ordered a couple of. There was a large selection of bites which we ordered a couple. They were well prepared and enjoyed.
A great alternative to the over-priced observation deck. The Signature Lounge has over-priced drinks (with a one drink minimum per person), but a fun relaxed vibe and a super friendly staff. The best time to go there and avoid long waits for a table is on Sunday night after 10:30pm. There was no line and we got a window table within a few minutes.
Wow! This lounge boasts staggering views of Chi-town and enveloping areas. Stopping by for a drink or bite to eat and taking in the breathtaking panoramic scenery is worth it! Whether tourist or local, this is a special spot, equipped with exemplary service and high end food at reasonable prices. And the scenery is once again incredibly lovely. Highly recommended!
Tldr: views were amazing, food and drinks weren’t so amazing. You can access the lounge for free with a minimum one drink per person, walk-ins only. It was very crowded right before sunset because everyone wanted to get the sunset and night skyline views. Service was very busy, but still professional and friendly. Drinks weren’t good. Although the sparkling wine portions were huge, the wine itself was not good. Food: only the bread, butter and garlic tasted good because it was fresh and warm… and it’s exactly how you expect it to taste. We wanted to order more, but everyone’s dishes around us looked extremely underwhelming. Again, this lounge is amazing for the VIEWS ONLY. (Women’s bathroom views were great as well!)
1000 feet in the air allows for some beautiful views. The manager was rushing people through the line as quickly as possible because everyone wanted a seat for the sunset views. Service was quick and drinks were strong. Will definitely be back.
Incredible views. Amazing service. Wonderful place to grab a drink and enjoy beautiful Chicago. One of the highlights of my trip. This places gives you a certain feeling of aw and gratitude. Such a magical place.
Absolutely breathtaking! Had the best time here during my visit in Chicago! The signature lounge is amazing! It’s a must if you visit Chicago! Great drinks and appetizers! Friendly service! There’s no reservations for the lounge so be prepared to wait in line if you’re going at night but it’s definitely worth the wait.
If you are in Chicago and have just one evening only, even then don't miss it. If you don't spend time here, one item from the 'must- see' stuff is off the list,! So make plans accordingly. It's on the 96th floor and getting into the elevator itself may take time for your turn. Having got there, to be ushered in could also take time. Having gotten in and seated you still may have to wait. Once done even to get out , there could be a queue! What? Yes. It's worth the trouble. Don't drink? An excellent array of non alcoholic choices is there.
