The space spans an indoor lounge and two open-air rooftop levels, and the cocktail list leans bright and photogenic: an orchid-flower-garnished sangria, a Guava Margarita, an Aperol Spritz, and a rosemary-finished Martini, with a full seasonal menu that swaps in an absinthe-themed 'Winter Garden' pop-up during the holidays. Getting a table is genuinely competitive — online reservations for seating have been compared to scoring hard-to-get theater tickets, and the venue can't be booked for dining, only for drinks, so walk-ins should expect a wait during peak hours and weekends.
It's not subtle about being a destination rather than a neighborhood hangout, but for a first-timer's view of the river and the skyline from a building with real Chicago architectural pedigree, it earns the hype.
