Cool atmosphere, and good selection of cocktails. Was not thrilled when we got our bill and it seemed way too high. I asked about getting the detailed receipt print out, which they were not able to immediately do. I was then told that they added gratuity to the bill for parties of 5 and over. Ok, we had just 3 people in our party. They did eventually rectify the situation however: 1. Its very dishonest to add gratuity to a bill and not tell anyone in the party or provide a detailed receipt of the charges. 2. Its also dishonest to add gratuity to party of just 3 people when you know thats not your policy. It seems that staff are immoral and dishonest at this place. I cant recommend this place as the staff tries to rip off their customers. Theres plenty of other great places in the area to spend your money at and not get taken advantage of.

Start looking up Chicago because this place rocks. It seems like every building in Chicago has a roof top deck but this one is different. It is on the 3rd floor and instead of being above the buildings you can actually enjoy the view. The 3rd floor here allows me to actually enjoy the river without leaning my face against the glass and looking down like other rooftops. Plus when I look up I see amazing buildings. The craft cocktails are simply fantastic. I love watching the bartenders mix them up for me. That is a show that shouldnt be missed. The food is really fantastic too. I could sit up here all day and night enjoying myself. Oh wait I am. Ha! So if youre looking for one of the coolest new spots in Chicago then just look up and see what Raised has to offer. Youll be glad you did.

Although Raised is absolutely a "hip indoor/outdoor hotel lounge featuring craft cocktails, small plates & a deck with skyline views", it really needs to be advertised as a "21 and above only" establishment. It is a shame that tourists with families or responsible local parents cannot bring well behaved children to enjoy a bite along with their parents or guardians. Other lounges located in hotels throughout Chicago do allow children as long as they are not at the bar or being disruptive.

So were staying a few nights and the Renaissance and the 3rd floor bar is pretty cute. They had a ton of outdoor seating with an awesome little view on the Chicago River. It was a pretty fun atmosphere and nice and cozy outside with the patio heaters and chairs kinda stewn about just casually and perfectly for conversations. The bartenders were mixing up quite cute little trendy cocktails that tasted great and they were very nice too!

Decided to have my birthday party here by renting out one of the cabanas. $1,500 food and drink minimum so please keep that in mind. Service was excellent, drink options are plentiful, good music and great looking people. The atmosphere was very differnt. Loved my entire experience. I highly recommend for a celebration, work happy hour, date night or just because. :p

Super relaxed, casual bar with more of a lounge feel. Very upscale decor but laid back environment. The wait staff was wonderful, offered suggestions, and struck up conversation. The food was great and the views.... EXCELLENT. Definitely a new go-to spot for after-work drinks and lunches.

The food and drinks were great. We arrived around 6pm so we werent able to get a place outside on the roof. If you would like an outside space I would recommend getting there early for happy hour. The cheese board was fantastic! And the sweet corn fritters were absolutely amazing.

Just a few floors above Wacker, Raised is a hip hotel bar with a good cocktails and great view of the river and surrounding area. While other rooftop bars give you a birds eye view of the city, Raised but puts a new filter on Chicagos architecture.

Great views of the river and city, go towards sunset so you can enjoy both the sun and city lights. Lobster rolls and truffle fries were very good, craft cocktails were also tasty. Prices are a little high but worth it for a treat.

The atmosphere is really chill, I loved the decoration and lighting. We sat at the bar and all bartenders are friendly and you can have a great conversation with them. Great drinks menu.

Great view tried some different drink recipes but not sure im a big bitters fan. View and service was excellent. Drinks were cold on a hot night with a breeze and a view of river.

Location is stellar and views are excellent. Cocktails are okay - the more expensive ones get interesting, but the lower 80% of the menu us either muddy or not quite there

Not a bad place to watch the world go by. The outdoor patio is relatively small so pick a quiet time to ensure you get the best location overlooking Wacker.

Really nice view and atmosphere outside, but it does fill up. They close it off so it doesnt get too crowded, which is nice, unless you get stuck outside.

A 5 Star for the view of the river. Just another roof top bar only 3 floors up. Very nice, serve me wine in a scotch glass I think? Did not eat.

Good food and nice atmosphere, but really rough and slow service from the bartender and waitress. That spoiled an otherwise great evening.
