He was constantly checking in on us and making sure we were okay.He made my cousins birthday so fun! Can’t wait to come back! Read more
Located at the top of Hotel Lincoln, this rooftop bar has a fabulous ambiance! The vibe is cozy, industrial and modern and the... views (particularly at sunset and beyond) of the city and lake are remarkable. We only had drinks, but the food looks good. Thespecialty beverage menu is very.... unique. There's a heavy hipster/millennial style which almost feels like forced creativity.Overall, the ambiance and position for taking in the Chicago skyline make the highly priced drinks feel more acceptable.

Rooftop view is exceptional. Food is not good. I ordered a drink and two apps. One of them came with gray (literally) mushy... coleslaw that was clearly made yesterday or perhaps even the day before. However long you need to refrigerate red and greencabbage slaw for it to turn gray, that's how old it was. The pork belly that came with had no flavor. Not smokey or salty as youmight expect, just plain. Raspberry coulis accompaniment was too sweet and unpleasant especially when served with gray slaw. Isent it back, and I just don't do that. FWIW, the table next to me sent their Ceasar salad back as well. My other appetizer wasgrilled brussel sprouts, but I only ate the top layer. The rest were drenched in too sweet balsamic glaze and mushy red grapes.I love balsamic, but this was overpowering slop. The drinks menu was out of date, so I ordered my standard Tom Collins. It wasokay. I wouldn't order another. Perhaps go for the view and tequila shots or something that J Parker can't mess up. The one starhere is just for the view. Read more
Beautiful views of the city and Lake Michigan skyline. Service was good. Several items on the limited menu was missing the day... we visited but what we got to eat was good. Read more
I really liked this place. We showed up right when they are opening so we had the rooftop all to ourselves. Just grabbed a few... drinks and a little bite to eat before an art show we had tickets to. The bloody marry was pretty good. Our server was veryfriendly! Read more
We recently came in with some friends and had a blast. Bella at the front desk was super helpful in pointing us in the right... direction. The view is amazing. Bar service was great. We will definitely be back! Read more
The J Parker is a classic go to bar in Lincoln Park! One of the best parts of this place is the knock out views of Lake... Michigan, Lincoln Park and the Chicago skyline. There are two rooms and outdoor seating available. The north room is so cozy andperfect for gathering on a winter day, while the north room is glass enclosed with openings for the summer. As most bars, theyare known for their cocktails more than their food. I always find the food eh in comparison to other places. Hence the 4.Anyways, it’s perfect for a cocktail with visitors. They are always amazed by the view. Read more
