Upstairs at The Gwen Chicago Reviews

Although we did not make it to the rooftop as rain occurred, we enjoyed a cocktail inside at the bar lounge. Great location, friendly staff.

Greg, 10/29/2023

Went to this place for lunch, and it did not disappoint. The food was spectacular, and the drinks were delicious. We went during the day, so we weren't expecting much of the view on a Friday afternoon, but I imagine being out of the patio at night with the fires going makes the place even more incredible.

Dwight, 9/5/2023

This was my first time here and it's located on the 5th floor. I sat at the bar. The food is above average and the drinks are great. Also, the service was really good. Overall, a nice little spot to have a drink or two. Photos below: 1. Breakfast potatoes 2. Bacon 3. Cocktail with tequila 4. Outside view 5. Shot
