Citizen Bar

Great neighborhood spot. Upscale bar food that is really good. Their rooftop area is the main attraction of the bar. Whenever the weather is nice, it is usually pretty popular with a good crowd.

The tater tot ls are amazing. And try the chowder with the toast! Dip the toast. Sounds weird I know. But tastes amazing.

This indoor/outdoor bar is the place to grab a drink in my neighborhood. Be prepared to have to wait for a table in the summer months as it gets very crowded. The prices are fair and the daily specials are great. ##30daychallenge #chicago

drinks are not too expensive, and the outdoor atmosphere is great. it's not loud, good place to catch up with a few friends

Chill upscale sports bar with a great patio and rooftop deck. Haven't tried the food here, but the staff is super friendly and they have a great drink menu with more interesting, trendy mixers like Monster Rehab. The Pear Mule is a good choice - crisp and refreshing.

Great rooftop bar in River North, and not as pretentious as some of the other rooftop bars in the area. Very laid back feel, even on the weekends. Friends and I were lucky enough to grab a table around 8:30 PM on a Saturday. I just ordered a gin and tonic, and it was sufficient. Also, the bartender was hot.

THIS is my spot! One of my favorite rooftops in the city and it has unobstructed views! The bartenders and servers here are all super fun and have great energy! The food is on-point too....order the buffalo chicken wrap with a side of wings!

Great atmosphere for a bar in River North. They have an awesome rooftop and great mac and cheese bites. Typical summer beer list. The night we were there for a happy hour, the service was not great; however they were packed. Overall, great location for a summer afternoon.

Pretty good place to grab a drink during daytime or go for brunch. During weekends they have different dj's. There are two patios - one upstairs and another one on street level next to the building. They take reservations.

Great Bar food, friendly staff, great drink specials with one of the best rooftops in the city!

Cool place, will go back for the service alone!

I surprised my lady on her birthday and took her here and Nikki the waitress took good care of us!

The food is consistently good...love the Duke Salad, Shrimp Tacos and the bowl-o-tots (tater tots). This is a great spot to grab lunch and is typically livelier during summer when the rooftop and patio are open. Main con would be the parking...meters and few lots are your options.

Visited Citizen Bar on Saturday during the long weekend. We arrived after midnight looking for food and hopes of sitting on the rooftop. Disappointed to find out that all patios and rooftops in Chicago close at 12 Midnight on weekends. Also the kitchen was not open. We decided to stay and have a beer downstairs. The crowd was younger and roudy. We found a table but were bumped into many times by passers by. We got a Guiness and a Stella which were served in clear solo cups. The Guiness was either a bad batch or had gone flat because it tasted horrible. The staff that was available were working very hard to please the crowd. Bathroom had all useful items available but was not clean. One thing I liked was the location and the building. Will not likely return.

Kind of douchey, but a good happy hour bar. Great to sit outside in the summer. Sit upstairs if you can
