Quickly becoming my favorite hangout. ♥️ I don’t know if I wanna share it with y’all but here goes…. It’s kinda hidden. My friend stays next door at the Hilton Inn when he’s in town and we meet here for drinks. Last night we had food and it was very good. I loveeee the atmosphere! It’s high above the city so the views are sick! Sexy decor. Tim is the best bartender! Takes great care with a warm smile. Get the popcorn shrimp. I would never thought to order my he ordered and it was perfect. Great cocktails. Enjoy!
I really enjoyed this place and I’m so mad i didn’t get pictures of my food while i was there. Me and my family made reservations and i must say everything was awesome. The waitress was very attentive, and the front of the house manager made sure we were very comfortable. I ended up having the popcorn shrimp and trufffle fries. Also the shrimp and grits, omg. Everything was FIRE. I love this place and will definitely be back!
The food was good but the hospitality is quite incredible. Genuine intention of wanting to make customers happy. Will go back again!
Came here for an event. Amazing space, great catering menu (waffles, chilaquiles, eggs, potatoes, pastries, and mimosas), awesome views. Banquet staff was superb!
I was scanned (with a metal detector) before entering the elevator. I was sure if that should've made me feel safe because they check it nervous because they need to ????.
I had reservations so we didn't have to wait. The appetizers were really tasty (except I wouldn't pay extra for those fries). The food was good. My friend ordered something the server nor bartender recognized ( I think a dark and stormy) so that drink didn't meet her standards but everything else was good. They also have a pretty nice view.
Amazing dinner at the VU Rooftop Bar in Chicago, IL! Located in just 3 minutes from our hotel in the South Loop area. The views are breathtaking! We ordered the Curry green mussels, pan fried sea bass, and strawberry shortcake trifle! So freaking good! And the drinks were delicious! I highly recommend the Ma-sa-rap.
Very spacious and beautiful terrace with city views. We got to go during their September Sounds Summer Brunch Series and got to enjoy a live DJ and good food. They have a delicious drink menu and sharable food/drink options for large parties.
Many brunch places are typically too loud where you can’t hear each other, but I appreciate that it’s spacious enough to still hear and enjoy your party.
The shrimp tostadas and chicken and waffles were some of our favorites. Also, love the elevated yet laid back atmosphere. Overall, it was a great expereince.
Just went here yesterday for Mother’s Day. I definitely will recommend this place to anyone. Customer service was great, food was emaculate. I had shrimp. The drinks were pretty good as well. The view on the rooftop makes it so much better! Definitely a vibe for a date night, brunch , ladies day etc. . 10/10 love
