This place is so much more than just a bar! In fact, it's three bars, and four restaurants. It's located across the street from the Bean, so rooftop views from Cindy's (one of the bars located in the building) are great. Milk Room, Game Room, and Cherry Circle Room are big hits as well.

Go to the 95th floor, grab a cocktail or a bite to eat and enjoy the awesome view of the city! Caitlin and I prefer this over the observation deck at the Willis tower because it's less expensive, and you get a meal / drink out of it.
