Kennedy Rooftop

Kennedy Rooftop
4.4 / 5 (1854 reviews)

Description

Perched on a rooftop with sweeping Chicago skyline views, this seasonal spot is a lively pick for date nights and festive outings. Heated igloos, Bluetooth speakers and a revamped menu earn praise—standouts include flatbreads, chicken roulade, squash ravioli and creative cocktails (hot cocoa and Irish coffee are seasonal hits). However, experiences vary: some guests praise warm service and ambiance, while others report long waits, canceled igloos, billing mistakes and uneven food quality. Book carefully and confirm reservation and billing policies before visiting.

The outdoor igloos were outstanding and so was the surface. The view of the city is great! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We visited Kennedy Rooftop for my friend’s 30th birthday, and it was an amazing experience. From the manager to every staff member, everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. We stayed in the igloos — they were warm, cozy, and created such a comfortable atmosphere. When we stepped out of the igloo, the downtown view was absolutely beautiful. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely come back! Highly recommend! Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The views were stunning but the food was absolutely trash. You all need a menu revamp asap. Dive bar food is better. We ordered the wings, burger, salmon entree, and a charcuterie board. Just take the charcuterie board off the menu. It contained old meat and low quality cheese, crackers and homemade croutons. The burger was precooked and reheated patties and the brussel sprouts were terrible. I've never been to a restaurant that couldn't make brussel sprouts..The wings were decent. If you reserve an igloo you have to spend a min of $85 per person but it was hard too hit the minimum with terrible food. Oh do not order the store bought cheesecake. Gross.
