    I was expecting something tacky with poor quality food for the money. I was very wrong. The fish quality was spectacular, and even though much of the food was American the nigiri was very good. I did not like the fact that popcorn was served as a free appetizer as it felt cheap, it is a chicago thing.

    This isn't where I'd normally end up, but based on the reviews and location it seemed unfair to ignore the Rebar. Other than the name on the building there was nothing about this place that was political. Regardless of your affiliation this is a good bar with great service, good drinks, and a decent view; although, if you want a better view go upstairs to the roof top bar Sixteen. This was my first bar I stopped into at Chicago and Fernando, the bartender, gave me a great experience that set the bar for the rest of the trip. I got a Purple Rain and a Generation X Old Fashioned. The purple rain is basically a gin fizz, one of my favorite cocktails. The egg was frosty enough to sweeten the drink, but not meringue like a Ramos (my actual favorite). It was delicious and easy to drink. The old fashioned was mildly smokey, with a sweet touch. A good combination for a smooth beverage. If you want a cocktail, a quiet bar, friendly staff, and a nice view this is a decent spot to stop into.

    My first experience at Rebar was just amazing, from the moment I walked in I got greeted by the hostess with a big smile, I sat at the bar and got my drink immediately even if the bar was really busy, then I moved to the table by the window with a beautiful view that is breath taking, the server came to me right away and was very professional and took care of me with excellent service standards, shortly after I see the GM SOUS checking on every guest and stopped by my table to make sure everything is ok. I have been in the F&B for over 20 years and I can say that this place has higher standards and deserve five stars, I will be back always and actually I am planning my New Years ever here. Great job guys

    Great afternoon happy hour. Snacks are good as well. Friend plantains and Sriracha popcorn (very good!) Staff is extremely friendly and not rushy or pushy. Great views of the river too.

    One of my favorite meeting places! Amazing views, luxurious decor, chill atmosphere. A bit on the pricey side, so if you're on a budget, it's probably not the choice for you. Drinks are on the strong side, which makes it great for casual meetings, or a pregame for a night out. Staff is friendly and attentive.

    Great drinks, food and views. Service needs improvement for that price point.

    The best bar in town really! Our server was Juan and he was always on top of his game. He explained the drinks to perfection and was always there when needed, but not pushy. The view is amazing. The atmosphere is great. You could come all dressed up for the night or pretty casual and it'd be fine. They have a good food menu, which we did not try, but heard it was good. They give you small snacks with your drinks which was perfect.

    Terrible service. Sat for ten minutes before flagging the host to ask what was taking our server so long to come introduce themselves. Host asked if we knew want we wanted. No apology. We ordered with host. 10 more mins go by and our drinks were wrong. Still don't know who our server is. Would definitely expect a higher level of service. Let's see how our roll comes out. After that definitely searching for next place to go.

    Rebar is a chic, high end bar on the second floor of Trump Tower. It overlooks the river. Reservations are preferred but if you're there just for some drinks, there are dedicated tables and of course the bar itself for those dropping by. That of course also depends on how busy they are. The service is phenomenal and our bartender, Diane, was lovely as ever. She served us when we were at 16 Terrace a couple of years ago and even remembered us! They have a full bar with lots of exotic cocktails, wines, and liquors. If you order shots, you will be served a double. Prices seem to average 15 for that double shot. This is a great spot to stop before going out on a night on the town if you prefer to have dinner at a less expensive place. As far as bars go, this is one of the more affordable ones I've been to in Chicago. Dress code is business casual.

    We reserved a table on Open Table and when we got in no one was at the host stand to greet us. We walked up to the bartender after waiting for a couple of minutes and when we told him we had a dinner reservation he said the kitchen was closing very very soon and we needed to put in a food order ASAP right there at the bar, as we could not have table service. He handed us a menu that had zero sushi on it. We were all confused as we came here thinking this was a great sushi spot and when we asked the bartender he said this is not a sushi restaurant. We decided to leave to get sushi somewhere else and the bartender didn’t say anything to us, just picked up the menu and turned away. Very poor service and misleading sushi restaurant descriptions online.

    My experience was okay, GINA the lone server was incredible, my steak order did not arrive for little over an hour(but was delicious when it did) the view is lovely. For my first time dining and drinking in a trump establishment my expectations were a little high, the over an hour to eat is what was the only real issue. Be prepared to wait for steak or burgers.

    In one word... Luxe. They have a selction of specialty drinks sure to impress!

    Great views but not super innovative drinks. Come here for a chic night out. Our host was happy to change out seats when our numbers increased. The waitresses were a little slow but it was a Saturday night and I expected that. They served us olives and popcorn, the popcorn had rosemary and I wasn't its biggest fan. I tried the gin and clove drink, tastes a lot like whiskey, good option for whiskey drinkers. I would come here on an off night to enjoy the space.
