The Scene – On the 33rd floor of the contemporary W Lakeshore, sleek Whiskey Sky has a smoked, blue acrylic ceiling which reflects twinkling lights from the nearby Navy Pier Ferris wheel. Low silver leather banquets, a leather banquette extending along the wall and black mohair club chairs offer elegant options for sitting at low white cube tables. If the sheer blue curtains are open, enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. Waitresses in black dresses might be leggy and model-like, but they're amicable to the civilized. Lighter alternative rock and soul play in the background. On busy…

Not worth the trip

My husband and I were staying at the W City Center and decieded to check out the W Lakeshore. While the view from Whiskey Sky was impressive the service was just average. It was way to small. Not a good place for a conversation. The bar at the W City Center was much better.
- Cons: Crowded, Loud

DEFINITELY not worth the trip to the 33rd floor

Stayed at the W over the weekend (which was outstanding) and decided to head up to Whiskey Sky Saturday night. What a disappointment! Tiny, crowded, view was not even remotely breathtaking, and the server was too busy sitting and chatting with friends to take our drink orders. The crowd just seemed like your average hipsters, not even any good people watching. Might be better when less crowded and when you can see the lake, but don't bother making a special trip.

Small but cozy

Great looking place, great music & drinks. Beautiful staff & guests. Incredible view great for a date on slow nights. Yeah, drinks are higher than they are in Naperville or some beer garden in Wrigley, but if you need to complaine about the price you shouldn't be righting a review or going there. Don't expect to get your ass kissed, just go & have fun. That's how I do it & it's always a good time.
- Pros: View, Good looking staff, atmosphere
