The J. Parker

We recently had my daughter's wedding reception at the J Parker! The staff was amazing, they helped us decorate and were extremely pleasant and very attentive to our guests. We chose several apps and a carving station. The food was excellent. It was a wonderful night. The view was amazing. Would highly recommend!

10/10 definitely recommend this place, the vibes are just right especially in summer time. The views here are extremely beautiful and the staff is really friendly. My bartender Rollie was the best! Walked me through the menu and even made me a cocktail costume to my liking. The food here is great! Very fresh. I had baked potato soup it was soooo flavor filled! My salad was super fresh and the dressing was just right. A very nice spot !

I had my wedding at J Parker last month and I still can not get over how perfect the entire evening was. The staff was SO attentive and really cared about making sure that our guests (and myself + groom) were always taken care of. I had guests tell me that the servers / bartenders had their drink orders memorized and would just bring them out to them when they saw an empty glass. I didn’t actually even order a drink from the bar the entire night because my glass was always full lol! On top of the tremendous service, the food was displayed beautifully and tasted amazing. No one left hungry that is for sure. I’m so glad we chose the J Parker to celebrate such a monumental day and they lived up to every expectation and BEYOND. Thank you J Parker crew!! We will be back!

Perched atop Hotel Lincoln, the J. Parker Rooftop Lounge is equal parts cool, innovative, and refined. Complete with two indoor bars, and an outdoor space to boot, one can transition from essentially an upscale tavern, to a stunning solarium, and then enjoy dazzlingly beautiful views of Chicago’s skyline and Navy Pier, in moments. From the front lobby hostess to my waiter it was nothing but professionalism and positivity through and through. Further, the kitchen has a wide range of appetizers and entrees to complement the excellent assortment of cocktails and local beers (the Cruz Blanca and Flywheel paired quite nicely with an order of truffle fries by the way).

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. The specialty 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.

Awesome views, great food and drinks to satisfy any thirst! Pictured are Crispy Brussels Sprouts & Buffalo Cauliflower. Drinks were Ghosting Medusa (orange drink) [Proof & Wood "The Funk" Rum, Luxardo Bitter Bianco, house-made falernum, passionfruit, matcha, Ouzo] & the Situationship with Hades (purple) [Peloton Mezcal, violet liqueur, pomegranate, kombucha, lemon].
