It is not much to really share. The aesthetics are really cute. I believe it's advised to make a reservation. The bar is open seating. The cocktails were just okay. The food was not of quality, especially for the price. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries and outside of the food being cold, the chicken tenders were the cheapest frozen tenders. May be other things are better. read more

Streeterville Social - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great rooftop with amazing views of the city! We came here for Happy Hour on a Friday evening. They do not have a Happy Hour menu, but have a couple of rotating cocktails and wines that your server will tell you about if you ask. We got the French 75 and it was good, could have been stronger, 4/5. As for food, the burrata was amazing! The peach and pesto were such fun additions to the plate. Wish they gave you more than two pieces of bread 4.5/5. Tacos and sweet potato fries were both a 4/5. Love the jalapeño aioli that was served with fries. This place would have been 5 stars, but service definitely was lacking! read more

Lovely outdoor restaurant on the third floor of the Loews hotel. It was pretty empty so we were seated right away. I was a little annoyed they asked us for the bar first given that the place was empty but they didn't push back when we said we wanted a table. I understand the bar ask if you are alone but there were two of us and we wanted dinner not just a drink. We were lucky to have come on a Wednesday which is their pink day so items that are in pink on the menu were only $10. The $10 special included a couple drinks and a few appetizers. I get the Camellia which was a gin cocktail and had a nice balance of tartness and sweetness. For apps, we tried the bruschetta and chicken tacos which were both $10 specials. The bruschetta was on large crusty chunks of bread and topped with prosciutto and frisée. Small layer of tomato but the flavors balanced well. The chicken tacos were interesting. It was Asian fusion with orange chicken and Mexican toppings. I got branzino for my entree. When it came, I was surprised that it had all the bones in it as I am used to the restaurant removing that for you. I asked the waiter if I could get it removed. He was initially like no they don't do that but eventually was like I'll ask and they accommodated my request. The branzino came with a small side salad. read more

This place is located on the third floor of the hotel that we are currently staying at. Therefore we decided to get drinks and appetizer from here. The server was friendly. The view is great from this restaurant. It did rain a little bit when we were here today. We were sitting under the umbrella which was great. The fries taste great and has prefect amount of seasoning. The drinks were decent, too bad their frozen machine is currently out of order. read more

I never leave bad reviews, but I had such an unpleasant experience here, it has left such a poor taste in my mouth hours later. The staff I interacted with was horribly rude and patronizing. I ended up leaving to go to the hotel's downstairs bar (MUCH better experience) and overheard a group of people voicing frustrations about the same. There are PLENTY of more beautiful rooftop bars in Chicago with welcoming staff to enjoy. Go elsewhere. read more

CHEF SERGIO IS EXTREMELY PHENOMENAL !!! For someone so young, I was astonished to see how brilliant and talented he was! My dream is to have him as a private chef forever, he is an amazing soul who is passionate about his craft! I took an out-of-town guest to the restaurant and Sergio introduced himself and went above and BEYOND to make sure our experience was amazing! Sergio's dishes were so filling and delicious, they was gone within minutes! And the cocktails were dangerously delicious !!!!! Our server, Micheal was incredibly patient and kind to us as we spent the evening catching up. EVERYONE out of town needs to come visit for the views and food! Truly one of Chicago's downtown hidden gems!!! read more

Streeterville Social - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Fairly nice terrace in streeterville. It's nice to be outside and not have to deal with cars driving by, however, I would not say this is a rooftop compared to others at nearby hotels and bars. It is on the 3rd floor of the Loew's hotel. Unfortunately, I was seated at a table tucked to the back and didn't get to enjoy the nice ambiance despite making a reservation. I did get prime viewing of an indoor hotel pool. Drinks are good but extremely expensive. Prepare to pay $14-$18 for each cocktail. I would avoid the food. It's ok if you are really hungry but it's extremely expensive fairly normal food. I had the chicken tempura tacos . Extremely spicy and nothing to write home about. Come here for a nice ambiance but don't expect a high rooftop or inexpensive drinks. read more

Streeterville Social - Terrace - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Two of us arrived Friday evening for our 5pm reservation. We were seated at a 2-top next to the bar. We had food and cocktails. We were just getting ready to order another cocktail and had been there for about 1.5 hours (maybe a little longer) when the manager (his name was something like Ilhan) came to our table to tell us that we had 15 min left before we needed to leave. He said the hostess should have told us when we arrived that we could only have the table for 1.5 hours. She did not. He said, "well she should have and I will speak to her about that." We were both stunned. We looked around and saw that there were other tables open and several open seats at the bar. When I made the reservation I had intended that we would most likely want to hang out there for a few hours. Their website or the Resy app does not list any time limitation that I could find. The manager never offered that we could move to the bar so we assumed those seats were "reserved" as well. He exhibited terrible hospitality. Then he sent another manager and the hostess who checked us in to our table...not really sure what the purpose of that was. They told us we could sit at the bar but at that point we had no desire to stay so we paid our check and left. Our server, Giselle, was very sweet and the best part of our time there. Again, there were open tables and no one waiting to come in so I'm not sure what the big rush was. A DJ had started playing just before we left. The majority of the people there were probably in their 20's and 30's. We couldn't help but feel like we were pushed out because we are more mature. We have $ and we always tip well so it's their loss. Also, they posted on their Instagram page within about an hour of when we left with the DJ playing and panning the rooftop where there were still open tables and 2-tops by the bar where we had been sitting and several open bar seats. read more

What a cute spot for a rooftop happy hour! We had a reservation and the patio was pretty packed, but service was prompt and attentive. We ordered the Brussels sprouts and potatoes small plates--the sprouts were great, the potatoes were just okay--and enjoyed the sun. Not super loud for its location, which is great! A good spot for a laid back happy hour in the summer. read more

4 stars for the discounted menu on Wednesday. I would likely give it 3 stars at it's regular price. Our party of 4 did a reservation for a Wednesday night when they have their discounted pink menu. Ambience: 5/5, great atmosphere w socially distanced tables on a nice rooftop building in Streeterville. View is not stunning but you do get the city vibes. Service: 4.5/5, staff was extremely friendly, but our bill was totaled incorrectly (they forgot to add the Wednesday discounts). They fixed it when asked but unfortunate if you don't check the bill carefully! Drink: 3/5, ordered the Let's Get Fizzical for $7. Decent drink, nothing special! Mostly ice. Food: 4/5, ordered the Fries $5 and Blistered Shishitos $5. Fries were nothing special, but the blistered shishitos were great! Both dishes were served with aiolis that were just ok. read more

Streeterville Social - Espresso martini - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Really nice and elegant hidden gem. It is located on the third floor of the Loews hotel, but is open to the public. Drinks were tasty and service was very pleasant. I believe our server was named Turney. Great guy! Only tried the fries but the fries were well seasoned. Smaller more upscale menu, wish they had a few more choices but not enough to dock a star as everything else was great! More unique views of the city compared to other well-known and overcrowded rooftops. read more

This place is very nice! Great view of the city. Very expensive! A friend recommended it but we didn't bother to look it up ahead of time. My drink cost more than my entree. I had the avocado toast. It was good but I don't like runny eggs. It was an interesting combination with the smoked salmon. I probably wouldn't get it again. My cousin ordered the wings, which were quite messy to eat. We probably wouldn't order that again either! But I'll be back to try other menu items the next time I'm in town! read more

Cute hidden rooftop in streeterville but not very high up. We came for the wednesdays we drink pink specials- but these were limited to only two drinks and two snacks. Otherwise a good spot to grab a drink in the area when it's nice out. read more

When I went Streeterville Social was doing cocktails in juice pouches and let you order food there from local restaurants in the area. The drinks were absolutely delicious, the tables were spaced out, and it was not tooooo crowded. I really enjoyed our service and the outdoor ambience on a Friday Night. Since Streeterville isn't "poppin" on the weekends, its the perfect place to be for an upscale vibe that is fun but not too loud. I am going back this weekend to do it all again; it's a great way to try local restaurants in the area but also get to be on a rooftop with a great beverage! Parking - if you are parking I recommend using spothero and parking in AMC's lot; it was the cheapest and 3 min walk from Streeterville Social! read more

We thought since it will be more like a bar the food would suck. But surprisingly good was really good. Tasty and with ample portion size. Ambience and service was excellent. Make sure to reserve spot ahead. We showed at the last minute but we're fortunate enough to get nice spot. It seems all rooftops restaurants are booked weeks ahead. . read more

Tucked away from bustling downtown is this gem at the Loews Hotel. What a pleasant surprise to still be downtown but away from all the noise! This spot is beautiful, casual, and a great rooftop experience. Staff is just lovely, and was able to make some delicious food recommendations. Will go back for Pink Wednesdays! read more

Review from July 13, 2019 Beautiful rooftop restaurant. We stayed at the Loews and decided to give this place a try for brunch. Atmosphere: The view is amazing. The weather was perfect with a great breeze and the sun wasn't beating down on us. Service: Our waiter was very responsive and attentive. Wait time: there was no wait so we were able to be seated immediately. Maybe five minutes later the place was packed with folks who just finisher up their rooftop yoga class. Food: It was a lot of food for brunch and everything was tasty. Cost: 2 adults and 2 kids meals with drinks cost over $80. Needless to say for brunch its a very pricey spot. You should definitely visit if you are in Chicago. read more

Food was AMAZING. Chef Michael's menu is like nothing I've had before. Each dish was incredible. A group of us went Friday evening and were able to try quite a few dishes. My top three dishes had to be the Chicken tempura tacos, the short ribs, and the hurricane fries!! Each and every bite was delicious. The grilled prawns and octopus were also delightful!! Not to mention the desserts! I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for yummy quick bites with a great atmosphere!! read more

I was recently staying at the Loews Chicago hotel on business. My convention was located at the adjacent Sheraton Grand Chicago hotel. Both hotels were affiliated with my convention. I heard that Loews in May 2018 added a rooftop terrace on their 3rd floor named "Streeterville Social". I visited the Streeterville Social first on a Saturday for some cocktails, which I enjoyed after my lunch. I visited a second time on the following day of Sunday, for a late lunch, since I already enjoyed a late brunch at another restaurant. I will summarize both my Saturday and Sunday visits here especially Sunday. My party of 3 arrived on Sunday after our late brunch around 3pm. We found both restaurants in the hotel offered limited snacks during the kitchen's transition from lunch to dinner during the mid-afternoon. I thought this was odd. I started again with my favorite rosarita for $15, which I enjoyed on my Saturday visit. The rosarita is made with sauza gold tequila, revolution rosa hibiscus ale, lime, and simple syrup. Then I followed again with two sunbeams for $16 each. I also enjoyed my sunbeam on Saturday. The sunbeam is made with Jim Beam bourbon, Domaine De Canton, rose liqueur, lemon, and simple syrup. As per my Saturday visit I enjoyed both my rosarita and my sunbeam equally as well. They are my favorite cocktails here. A glass of wine was $12. We had to wait until around 4pm when the kitchens re-opened to serve a wider selection of food choices. We shared the lamb skewers for $16. My guest enjoyed the social hot dog for $9. My personal shared favorites were the sharing of the calamari for $18 and the chicken wings for $16. The lamb skewers were a bit tough and not as enjoyable as our other shared plates. Our early dinner set me back $192 less gratuities for my party of three. Adriana accommodated our needs well. I will definitely return here for some really nice views of the Streeterville area. read more

Victor provided great service and was very engaging during our visit! The food was delicious and we had a great time!

Cute environment, great views. We just went for drinks so that got 5 stars, delicious and creative menu. There was also a large party so there was a delay and we were brought out a free drink, so props for that! Would come back for sure. read more

Streeterville Social - Let's get fizzical (left), sour beer, the last straw - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Missed it! Showed up on a Tuesday night with friends to find they've permanently closed the lawn game part of the terrace (private events only now). Super disappointed, as that was our main draw in the first place. But we ordered some drinks anyway and tried to make the best of it. My glass of wine was extremely overpriced aka came out to $15, which would be the cost of the bottle if I bought it from a store. I know you're partially paying for the view, but since this is a terrace and not a rooftop, it really wasn't anything noteworthy. Certainly a pleasant atmosphere overall, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

This place far exceeded our expectations. Wonderful view. The food was exceptional. Beautifully prepared, tasty and craveable. I can't stop thinking about the chicken tacos. Love. Will be back soon. read more

This place has been on my list of places to visit for a long time. Pros: - The drinks we ordered were absolutely delicious! The waitress' drink recommendation was very spot on and so refreshing. - The rooftop can easily accommodate a large group or a lot of people on a Friday/Saturday night. - The staff was attentive and made sure we never ran out of drinks. Which was a plus on a hot day such as on the day I visited. Cons: - They didn't allow us to use that had the lawn games and lounge chairs because during the summertime it's only available for private events. I was disappointed because the lawn area was one of the only reasons that I wanted to check out Streeterville social. - The rooftop heated up rather quickly since the umbrellas didn't seem to be positioned in a great enough way to block the sun at high noon. - Price! I normally wouldn't complain about prices whenever I go downtown but the drink glasses are rather too "skinny" for what they charge for them. read more

BAD! Cocktails are awful. Not complex, embodies zero layers of flavor. Feels like a basic mixed drink with simple syrup. The corn whiskey drink had no taste of corn, and the banana drink definitely did t taste anything like banana. I would recommend sticking with beer, basic mixed drinks, or wine. Place is okay not a rooftop but more of a terrace. Service was ok. read more

Been here a few times, my cousin wanted to celebrate her birthday by hopping rooftops and this was our first stop. I had their watermelon cocktail while everyone else enjoyed a glass of mimosa.

I wasn't blown away by Streeterville. We arrived on a Saturday night and there wasn't any line or wait to get in. The terrace was BEAUTIFUL but I've heard it referred to as a rooftop bar and I wouldn't particularly classify it as such. We waited awhile to get our order taken. A while. There was a limited cocktail and wine menu. I saw three reds to choose from and maybe 10 cocktails. They were around $11-$15 per drink. I noticed every table had a "reserved" sign on it. A couple next to us requested a table change and whomever they talked to denied it, saying the table was clearly reserved. It was a good place to get a quick drink if you want a pretty view, but the price and the service as well as the selection made it a little harder to enjoy. read more

4.5 Stars I think I found my new hangout spot! The second time coming here was a charm. First time they were closed for a private event which I hear happens a lot. I'm pretty sure this has to be the biggest rooftop in Chicago. What they are lacking in views they definitely make it up with space. So comfy! You totally feel like you're in someone's back yard. The life size games, the over sized comfy couches, and the laid back vibe make me feel at home. I was catching up with a couple friends I hadn't seen in awhile. We arrived at 6:30 and literally closed the place down. The couches are so comfortable I nearly fell asleep. There are two large areas, but I prefer the side with the couches versus the tables. As for drinks...there a bit pricey, but delicious! The servers take a lot of care and put a lot of ingredients and booze into the drinks. I was craving a frozen drink and went with the summertime Mai tai. It was very sweet and refreshing. My other friends had prosecco and mojitos and enjoyed theirs as well. Drinks are around $16. Can't wait for my next visit! May even try some food :) read more

On point with: Amazing city views Great drinks Open air atmosphere Plenty of space for a large crowd Good service My only hang up was that the food was just okay. The lobster rolls needed to be fresher tasting. The steak and fries were good in the group but all of ours was a little over cooked from how we ordered. Appetizers were good overall though. My suggestion would be to come here for an app and drinks or simply a pre-dinner beverage and go on your way. read more

Beautiful view but terrible service. Stood at the bar for like twenty minutes before being served by the most snotty bartender ever... And I've been to too many cocktail bars to know. Switched over to the food and drinks area and our waiter was very stand offish and extremely unhelpful. Nor did he ever come around. Only helpful staff member was Ciara who had the cart of food. read more
