The hotel is conveniently located just one block south of the Willis Tower. It is a great spot to relax and unwind after a long day of work in the Loop. The special menu for food and drinks is impressive. The atmosphere is lively and the music adds to the experience without being overpowering. I have tried their dinners, burgers, beers, and sides and they are all excellent. I highly recommend the spinach artichokes with pita! The only downside is the price, as it is a bit steep at $30 per person.

Solid place. Great for a Bears game, they have shuttles. Really friendly wait staff. Super helpful. Food was solid. Pomegranate salad was really good, buff chicken sliders were solid. French fries were good, add some vinegar and salt. They’re skinny like fair fries. Good beer selection and they pour a solid cocktail.
