Sixteen - Chicago

Despite the ::ahem:: location of the restaurant, I had been courteously served at this beautiful and wonderful restaurant. The servers and the restaurant...

We decided to try this restaurant for our anniversary lunch on labor day- we wanted to have dinner but they weren't open for dinner on Mondays/Tuesdays....

I booked here via Open Table for my friend's birthday brunch. After security? We were directed to the 16th floor (hence the name The pancakes waffles...

Taking the name on the side of the building out of the equation this is probably one of the best roof top bars in Chicago. Note that this place is called both Sixteen and Terrace 16. They are the same place. I will be putting this review in both places. I ended up going to a few different places just to give some background of my comparisons: Cindy's, Rooftop at the Nobu, Rooftop at the Wit, LH Rooftop, and Signature Lounge at the 96th. Terrace 16 also called Sixteen is a clean bar and lounge with decent cocktail options and an assortment of liquors. There is enough variety to make any cocktail you want, but the ones they have on the list are great. When I visit a city I tend to never go to the same place twice, yet this bar was good enough I thought it was worth a second visit. The staff were all friendly and the ambience was not too lively. I was able to enjoy a nice drink with a fire pit on the roof while not hearing blaring music throughout my experience. If you want a good cocktail, a decent view, and a nice atmosphere this is a place worth stopping into.

Not a fan of the person whose name is on the building, but sometimes you gotta separate the name from the people who work there. Stopped in for lunch once and had a fantastic salad and probably the best old fashioned of my life. They even gave us a second drink on the house. Great service and people working there. Also incredible views.
