Raised An Urban Rooftop Bar

ID definitely required to enter even if you are staying in the Renaissance Hotel where the bar is on the 3rd Floor. The staff were very friendly and polite. There is a cozy indoor area and, of course, outdoor seating on the extended ‘rooftop’ area of Level 3. There is a good variety of cocktails, a few mocktails and snack type food. It is very pleasant outside with some covered fire-pit heating. A lovely place to relax, enjoy the local architecture and watch the river life go buy. 4.5⭐️

I went with a friend, my first time there. It was an awesome experience. The Chicago River view is amazing. Ben was the server, very attentive, I was impressed by him. The cocktails 🍸 👌 also the food was to dye for. I totally recommend the Roof top, which wasn't too crowded . I'll be back for sure.

Amazing drinks and fantastic views. My friend had the BBQ lotus chips he liked them, but I only thought they were OK. My bf had the ravioli, and it was really good. The mixed drinks, however, were beautiful and tasted like heaven.

Such a fun environment with great views! It's absolutely adorable, just a bit of a walk to get to. It's inside the Marriot Renaissance hotel on the 3rd floor; there's plenty of signage to get you there easily. Absolutely great views and decor. The food was not that great, I only ordered the Tostone Nicoise, which I didn't care for - it tasted like nothing, but the purple potatoes it sat on were delish. The wine list is decent, no complaints there. I'll go back for the atmosphere & to try more food, fingers crossed. The service was balanced. Meaning one bartender was super nice & friendly while the other was a bit crabby. Ish happens, so I'll chalk it up to a bad day. Still the views and decor here make this a great place to start or end a night.

If you're looking for a Chicago experience that combines stunning views, delectable food, and a vibrant atmosphere, look no further than RAISED rooftop bar. Located in the heart of Chicago, this place is the epitome of urban chicago. From the moment we stepped onto the rooftop, we were greeted with breathtaking views of the city skyline. The modern, stylish décor seamlessly blends with the panoramic backdrop, creating a picture-perfect setting for an unforgettable evening. The ambiance is electric, and it's evident that RAISED takes pride in providing an atmosphere that's both upscale and inviting. Now, let's talk about the star of the evening,The RAISED Burger. This culinary masterpiece is a must-try. It's clear that the team takes great pride in their craft. The presentation of the burger was a work of art, with each ingredient thoughtfully arranged on the plate. The first bite was a revelation of flavors and textures that danced harmoniously on the palate. The Raised Sauce, added a tantalizing depth to the burger. Its creamy, slightly tangy profile complemented the robustness of the gibbsville creamery 3 year cheddar, which was generously melted over the perfectly cooked patty. The Grilled Onion brought a sweet and smoky essence, harmonizing with the rich, salty notes of the Pancetta. The Pickle Planks offered a refreshing contrast, while the butter lettuce contributed a crisp, clean crunch. As if the burger wasn't enough, we couldn't resist ordering a side of TRUFFLE FRITES. These golden fries were dusted with just the right amount of truffle seasoning, making them an irresistible companion to the burger. Each bite was an explosion of truffle goodness. The cocktails were expertly crafted, and the menu offered a diverse range of options to suit all tastes. RAISED is more than just a place to dine, it's an experience. The views, the ambiance, and, of course, The RAISED Burger and TRUFFLE FRITES, left us with memories we'll cherish. If you want to elevate your evening in the Windy City, make a reservation at RAISED. You won't be disappointed. We can't wait to return and savor more of their culinary delights!
