I rarely write reviews, but my experience at Aire was one of the best I have ever had in my life. Maddy was a PHENOMENAL server and made amazing recommendations. I tried the tacos and they were extraordinary! The ambience of the bar is so nice as well. Next time I am in Chicago, I will definitely be back!

The food was probably the worst thing of everything for this even. The menu advertised was not what was provided. The tortillas for the tacos were cold, and there weren't any apps. The ceviche was just 5 pcs of horrible chewy shrimp on a plate.

The ambiance was majestic. The city views were beautiful.

The Frank Sinatra performance was stellar! CarlbL Herzog was funny, and his vocals were spot on. The band that accompanied him was amazing! I would definitely pay for just and the performance again.

Fun and lively rooftop bar, great for casual drinks with friends after work or dinner.

Put on the wait list just for us to get there and tell us it's a private event. Annoying waste of time

Very polite and nice staff. Came in the morning and evening. Great outdoor space but does lack the Chicago skyline view. Great stop if you are staying in the hotel. Drinks were great

Close 40 min before closing time. Slow. Typical rooftop. For sucker's only.

I personally think the show is too expensive for just 1 hour. the drinks are way too expensive for what they are worth. food was expensive and lackluster for the cost. it took forever to get food too. I waited more than 30 minutes for 2 tacos. they are a cashless bar and this is not indicated anywhere beforehand. it wasn't really an "under the stars" show at all. it ended before the sun set. I would recommend something else in the future.

First time visit. The server was great. Ordered food and a drink. Came out in good time. It's a very nice place to go on a good summer or spring day. Take in the views while enjoying some food as well.

Parking: Paid parking garages are the best option or there are a few paid street parking spots.

Drinks were good and pretty well-priced for a rooftop bar. The vibes were pretty bland (could be due to the private events also being held on the rooftop), but honestly you are here for the views and they do not disappoint. Will definitely be bringing more friends up here to enjoy the skyline!

First things first. We had a reservation at 10pm and by the time we reached they told us that they are closing early due to bad weather. If so was the scenario they didnt even bother to inform the people who had a reservation that their reservation is cancelled and they are closing due to bad weather and there was definitely no rain by the time we reached

Liked the place overall. I didn’t like that their system does not process international cards. Luckily I had a picture of an American card that worked!

Closed on Labor Day Weekend. RUINED our stay at the hotel.

First and foremost, I wanted to love this place. I truly did. When we arrived there wasn’t a host at the front and we also didn’t receive any sort of greeting when we walked in. A server finally did notice us and told us to order our drinks at the bar and have a seat wherever we wanted. Which I initially was fine with but then I seen he was taking orders for tables that had walked in after us but were 4 or more, so I am only assuming he thought because we were a table of two his tip wouldn’t be big therefore we had to order at the bar. We seen that a couch area was open and nobody was sitting at it, so I asked a staff member if it was okay that we sat there and she said yes. Once I walked away from the table to order my bottle from the bar like I was told to do, my partner was approached by Francisco the “manager” and was told we couldn’t sit there so we needed to move now because that’s reserved for party’s of 7 or more with a minimum amount to spend. Which I thought was insane because this isn’t bottle service at a club, it’s a rooftop with cocktails and small bites… I was at the bar when that conversation happened and he thought it was a great idea to now approach me after already telling my partner we couldn’t sit there. He came up to me VERY RUDELY and said “uh just so you know you can’t sit there, that’s for bigger groups, you can go find a seat somewhere else or maybe the bar, there’s a few seats there” I looked at him in utter shock because why are you approaching and talking to a customer like this, I then told him “that’s no problem and I’d find a different table and declined his offer for the bar seats” he then CONTINUED with the rudeness and said “WHAT DID YOU SAY? There’s no need for attitude or for you to be a dramatic woman”. I looked at him in UTTER SHOCK and told him I heard him the first time, I would be moving and he needed to calm down with the way he spoke to me. He stormed off and I ordered my bottle and sat at another table. The bartender who attended me was very apologetic as he knew Francisco was rude and in the wrong.

Now I don’t ever write reviews, this may just be my first but I couldn’t believe what happened. I should’ve taken my business elsewhere and not even dealt with this establishment and their horrible management but I was celebrating and it was getting late so we just wanted to drink our champagne and go. If this is something the owners and upper management condone at this place then you will be in for a rude awakening when more and more people realize this place is not welcoming and it’s staff is beyond disrespectful. I was trying to enjoy my night and Francisco nearly ruined it but the moment his what I can only assume were friends or people who previously worked there arrived, the nasty attitude wore off, they had a 12 pack of drinks clearly not from the restaurant and were even able to order food after my partner and I were told the kitchen was closed.

Again, I really wanted to love this place as rooftop season is almost over in the city and I was just extremely disappointed and underwhelmed by the management and service. Please do better, that is not someone I would want running my business when I’m not there.
