Came here on a Wednesday night in November 2025. Place is a nice lounge, good vibe and was a tad slow around 8sh, Bartender was super nice and chatty. $10 for all beers, and alot of high end liquor, but not tonight! I did not eat, apparently they had some sushi, I didn't really browse the menu much. Good views of the river, this is NOT the outdoor summer patio, but the main hotel bar indoors. I'd be back. read more

Stopped by with bachelor party while bar hopping Great views and service. Drinks are priced as expected.

Beautiful views of the river, service was excellent and food was good. We really liked our server, she was patient and very attentive. Sushi rolls were good. Price point was typical high for downtown, but ambiance made up for it. Would be a great spot to stop for a drink on a date night. read more

Worst service ever!!!! I am pulling my hair out even writing about how bad the service is. 10 minutes to get seated even when you have a reservation. The first round of drinks took 20 minutes. So bad. read more

Wanted to do a real happy hour (5-7pm) and why not at Trump's hotel? When we arrived, it was pretty quiet, yet we could not get our server's attention after being seated. It was by no means her fault. The table next to us just kept talking and talking and talking; she was just being nice. We had dinner reservations around the corner, and only had 45 mins to drink so the host, Maurice, kindly came over to take our order and ensured we had some snackies to absorb our alcohol as well. Drinks were good and shockingly not very pricy. The ambiance is really nice and we got good views from where we sat. Definitely a cool place to check out! read more

Rebar - Happy Hour (5-7pm). Love a place that serves snacks with your drinks! - Lounges Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Absolutely stunning spot with a beautiful view of the water and exceptional service. I loved the variety of fun and inventive cocktails. The snacks were delicious. I don't like plantains but I ate all of the chips and the nut mix was divine. Really nice upscale atmosphere with fun people watching. Everyone who works here looks like a model. read more

I really liked Rebar the first time I went there a couple of months ago; but this past Saturday, when I went on a date with my husband, Rebar had football on the TV's and the sound was extremely loud! I didn't go to a sports bar, and was disappointed with the ambience....or lack thereof. I understand that it was a big game, but the sound could have been off or down most of the way. The drinks are good and the view is amazing. Please consider other patrons other than only those watching sports. read more

We had a reservation and when we walked in we were told there's a private event and we had the table for just 1 hour, and had to finish ordering within 30 minutes. They even called to confirm our reservation and never said anything about this ridiculous time limit. We walked away and never set down. read more

Ambience- elegant but comfortable not stuffy or pretentious. Service- kind, attentive, staff was fun Food- very good, well seasoned, delicious Honestly, a bit more expensive than what we would normally spend but it was a special occasion and well worth the money- a very memorable evening and will return again!! read more

Stayed at the hotel and had evening drinks and apps. Great drinks and great bartenders. Will be back next time we are in Chicago.

My friends were in town from Coventry and Scotland. Everyone knows trump all over the world. Like them or dislike him, he's very well-known. It is a towering building, glass everywhere. I feel like this has become a popular building to visit, especially since he is now our president. It's not hard to see why Trump is so successful in business, especially real estate. My friends from Coventry and Scotland said it was imperative that we get some cocktails in the bar at the Trump Tower. We went inside and had our beers and fizzy and sweet raspberry cocktails. read more

WAR SUPPORTERS. Me and my 5 Ukrainian girlfriends went to rebar restaurant to celebrate my friend's law school graduation. We ordered food and cocktails the total bill was over $800. After maybe an hour the two Russian-speaking men came over they were sitting at the table right next to us and started screaming at us threatening us and talking disrespectful to us. We called the security to figure this out. Security came talk to this men and after he talked to them the waiter brought our bill and asked us to pay and to leave. We called security again and he said we are not allowed to stay because of our violent behavior. They kicked us off because of our nationality. Horrible experience. read more

Me and my partner dropped in for pre dinner drinks! Up the stairs sits the Rebar on the river! Truly an amazing view! We were amazed that we were the only people in the bar! We did not complain!! It was so intimate and special. We enjoyed a glass of champagne provided by Debra the bartender. She was so helpful! The place was clean and the drinks were STRONG! Definitely an amazing way to start the night. Will definitely for more drinks! read more

If you are looking for a review influenced by my views of Donald Trump, his presidency or his policies you are reading the wrong review. This review will be solely about my experience at Rebar. If you want to skip this review, I recommend that you don't skip it as it will be a good read, Rebar is not worth the hefty price of their food and drinks. First, the food is completely mediocre. I came here with my wife after a night of drinking having a bit of the drunk munchies. We ordered a sushi roll. While, this not an Asian restaurant or per se, I did expect the high quality sushi given the location and price. I was sorely disappointed. The overall taste and quality of the sushi roll was on par with a so-so pan-Asian restaurant. Perhaps I ordered the wrong dish, but I expected anything here to good. Second, the price was ridiculous and a bad value. I do expect to pay a premium at lounge or bar like this that is located in this area. However, the cost for two drinks (a glass of wine and a cocktail) and one sushi roll before tip was over $70.00. I feel that's a little much for the quality of the food. There where, however, some positives. First, the vibes was cool. The night we went, it was laid back and I loved the mellow blue lighting. Second, the service was friendly. Third, the views were amazing. You don't get a much better view of the Chicago River or Loop from this vantage point. Fourth, the cocktail was quality and the wine was good. Overall, this place is a pass. There are plenty of spots along the Chicago River you can eat and get great views for less, and there are plenty of high end bars and lounges in Chicago where the steep price is with it. read more

Overpriced, in my opinion. Cocktails run $16 to $18 which is steep compared to other options around the area so I opted for an Allagash Black. Plus, the service was just okay. The view of the river was beautiful and the decor was nice though. read more

We are from out of town. We were told the bar was open until midnight. As we placed our drinks? We were treated like it was last call. We were rushed to finish our beverages. Closed out our bill. And then not told about the 20% surcharge. We have never heard about such a thing unless it is a party of eight people or more. We were not a large party. It was only TWO of us. Beyond repulsed. And will spread this scheme to any and all people on social media. To think we were excited to have a beverage to support our previous President? Makes us full of regret. NEVER AGAIN. read more

We stopped here while visiting Chicago. The views of the river are fantastic and did not disappoint. We were able to snag a large round table by the giant picture windows. Not an easy task on a Saturday night. We only had cocktails, which were nice and strong. Drinks were a little pricey, but not too bad for Chicago. There were don't Trump branded drinks which were very high priced; Well above my spending limit. They brought our table spicy almonds and olives to munching on, and they were very good. Overall this is a classy little bar with a great view of the river. We will certainly be back when visiting Chicago. read more

Awful service. Staff thinks that they are better than you. Hardly attentive at all. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Food is mediocre at best - definitely not worth the prices they are charging. Drinks were terrible and watered down. Do not go here. read more

We had planned on going to Roof @Wit but the rain gods would not allow it so we settled on Trump. While I totally loved my drink (hey, it had my name on it) and those pieces of apple and kiwi and fruity goodness, I didn't think that the food was really anything special. For $25/maki roll I expected a bit more I guess. I know it's the Trump and I'm not complaining about the prices, but the flavor combo in the Prism maki was just wrong. The pickled flavor of the jalapenos really ruined the delicate flavors of the really exceptional fish used in the roll. The bulgogi was melt-in-your-mouth good though ... The view is really great and b/c of my keen eye we snagged a table right away but it is pretty loud in here and I could barely hear anything my friend was saying. Maybe I'm just getting old though :-) read more

Had an unexpected invitation to be at Trump tower from a friend whom I met 2 days ago .Luckily there was nothing on my schedule and hence quickly moved my a** there and pretty glad that I din't decline the invite. Rebar is on the 2nd floor of the trump tower and the decor is pretty modern.The best part of this place is having a lot of seating where you could get view of the lake.Good thing is they have high rise chairs too at the bar counter.Complimentary Popcorn and Salt Roasted Almonds will be provided.There are few drinks which are of minimal prices on menu which is a good thing.Even other drinks are not too costly as I thought.I got Cocktail (Vodka With Raspberry and Lychee) and it was pretty good and costed around 10 bucks. Pros: Complimentary Stuff to Munch Quick Service Nice View Good Ambience Affordable Drinks Well you should go grab a drink and enjoy the ambience and view. read more

Back for a mango martini and more maki. I had been to Rebar several times, never a dissatisfied experience. Great atmosphere with Bossa Nova playing in the background. Some of the top sushi in Chicago: spider roll, lobster roll, garden roll, spicy tuna. Fantastic bartending service. And wait service that should be bottled. I have lost count of the number of times I have been to Rebar. And the price is not bad, albeit not cheap. But the whole package keeps me coming back. read more

When walking into an establishment with a Groupon or Gilt City voucher - it can go one of two ways. I've had many experiences where servers seems annoyed or disappointed. This was not the case - service - and rose tasting was amazing. Our Gilt City voucher was for their "Rose All Day" special, aka a rose flight, and two shared plates. The wine selection was great and our server was extremely knowledgeable about each wine, bringing over the entire rose cart as part of the service. For the shared plates, we ordered a cheese and charcuterie platter and the sausage and pepperoni flatbread (literally just a rectangle pizza) which were both delicious. Would I come here and order the food without the voucher? Likely not. The plates go for about $20+ each. The rose flight? Yes! It's $28 for a 3-glass flight which are full pours - great deal! Oh and the views of the river are terrific. Seats of two are up against the glass facing the river. Decor inside is swanky, but a bit dated. I'd come for the tasting, but otherwise it'd likely break my bank. Good spot to visit in the winter for sure! read more

Rebar - Rose All Day tasting flight. Heavy pours! - Lounges Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The space is gorgeous, chic, expensive. Just like a Trump blonde. So one of my L.A. friends decides we should try the 'Dreams' punch bowl. 'Dreams'? Very aptly-named considering it costs $225! As in, I could only dream of affording what better contain 24k gold sparkles. Fortunately for us, they also sell 'Dreams' by the glass... for a mere $18. Still out of my range, but what the hell? We're on a bar crawl, the view is fantastic, and I'm already a bit buzzed. I'm almost embarrassed to say that 'Dreams' tasted just like its name (read: I adored it). This is the queen of all cocktails-- p.i.n.k vodka muddled with strawberries and rose champagne. Now if only I received a huge salary bump, I could've stayed here all day sipping on these decadent pink concoctions (yes, I've added a picture). But alas, it was time to leave and compensate for our over-spending with a visit to a dive bar. But I think I'll save this treat for a return visit to Rebar, like my birthday or a romantic evening. Irrelevant note: I think that an Eastern European accent is actually a requirement for any woman to work here. Tres sexy! read more

Amazing. Darn you, Chicago! Darn you, Rebar! You and your fine dining and your inspired drinks... How are tourists suppose to be satisfied with anything else once they've gone back home? You're a hotel bar and have the nerve, the absolute nerve, to serve drinks that are this tasty? For shame. You set the bar impossibly high for your competition. It's far from a fair fight. The $16 "Brooklyn" was Completely. Worth. Every. Cent. My companion had the Pisco Negroni. I took a sip, of course. Delightful, even if a bit strong for my tastes. And, for the record, service was efficient, quick, pleasant, & professional. Demeanor matched the upscale atmosphere. A solid 5-stars. read more

Cool. Slick. New. Glass. All these words come to mind when describing Rebar. We got there and were a bit confused as I thought the bar/restaurant were on the 16th floor. Nope. The restaurant called sixteen is on the 16th floor. Just the bar is located up the stairs or 1 level from the lobby. And for not even being completely constructed, this place is open & ready for the masses! Wow. What a spectacular cocktail menu. Of course my cocktail was $18 (dang!) but how many of these can you really throw back? I had one and that was quite enough. Floor to ceiling windows that overlook the Chicago River and all the surrounding buildings all backlit is really quite spectacular. Definitely check it out before the next new bar is open down the street. But for lobby bars in a hotel, this one is quite nice. read more

This gorgeous bar is on the mezzanine level of the Trump International Hotel & Tower. Very chic and cosmopolitan décor with stunning city views. Drink selections are well chosen. Food menu also has a good variety. The pepperoni and gouda flatbread was shockingly delicious! Braised shortrib sliders were great. Lamb meatballs were average. Rebar is pricey (drinks and appetizers ~$22 each), but that's to be expected. We had a fabulous time. read more
