RAISED | An Urban Rooftop Bar

Were the vibes there? Yes but ridiculously overpriced drinks! I think it’s definitely better daytime spot than nighttime if you’re wanting to see the city and stay for a meal or such maybe it would be a a better experience

Our business dinner at RAISED Urban Rooftop Bar was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the vibrant yet sophisticated atmosphere. The space strikes a perfect balance—modern and stylish with panoramic city views that set the tone for a memorable evening. The ambiance made it ideal not only for socializing but also for creating a welcoming environment where our team could truly connect outside the office.

The food was excellent—beautifully presented, fresh, and flavorful. Every plate was crafted with care, offering a menu that satisfied both adventurous and classic palates. From small bites to mains, each dish exceeded expectations and paired perfectly with the creative cocktail selections.

What truly elevated the night, however, was the customer service, which was second to none. The staff anticipated our needs without being intrusive, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that our team felt valued throughout the evening. Attentive, professional, and genuinely warm, they transformed a great dinner into an outstanding experience.

RAISED delivered on all fronts—ambiance, cuisine, and hospitality. It is without question one of the best venues in Chicago for hosting a team dinner, client gathering, or simply enjoying a night out in the city. We look forward to returning and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a top-tier rooftop dining experience.

Everything is very good, but the service should improve a little, that would make tourists feel comfortable in the place.

Nice vibes + good food and drinks = a great birthday celebration. When our party of 8 arrived there was a long wait for the outdoor terrace so we opted for a cozy section near the bar. We had a great time.

Small roof top open seating so when it’s busy it’s tough to find a spot. We got in and were able to get a spot and have a drink before we headed off to dinner reservations.

Wanted to like it more, but just can’t. Typical expensive cocktails for the area, but I had some kind of old fashioned (red line) on their cocktail menu that tasted terrible! Was super sweet and had some bad taste to it. They need to just use regular bourbon instead of whatever infused stuff they did. Service was fine.
I’d recommend just ordering whatever you typically like and not looking at the menu and stay away from anything ‘infused’.
Friend I was with liked the BARB drink but noted that it was warm and needed to be chilled.

Good drinks, great view. They close a little early, would have loved to hang out longer/later. Excellent location.

Great place. Even though it was pouring and our party was held inside we had a fantastic time.

The atmosphere is nice the food is just ok and the service is terrible.

Didn’t receive any utensils the whole time there. I had to flag someone down to order after sitting for 20 to 30 min. No one stopped to ask if I was ok or needed anything after giving my food (needed utensils and more sauce). I probably wouldn’t come back
