Up Room

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 spotAll 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!

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.
