User Reviews for Big Bar

3 Star Rating: Average

The drinks were really nice and big it was worth the money, the food was over priced and its not enough to feed one person. The service was ok, you had some waitresses turning up there noises and rolling there eyes ( a little unproffessional) but for the most part we would go back for drinks but we would never eat there again. Also there is no air because its on the top level so its pretty hot.

Pros: size of drink, atmosphere

Cons: food, level, bathroom on the first floor, constant nagging for a credit card, over priced menu

$70 for four regular sized drinks and an appetizer. Service was not that great, only two bartenders and two waitresses during happy hour. I didnt get to check out the other bars in the hotel, but I definately think this was the most upscale one. Lots of people stright from work

Pros: Good Food, Good Drinks

Cons: Very Pricey, Service was shoddy

We visit Chicago at least once a year and usually get out every night to explore what Chicago has to offer. We happened to stay at the Hyatt this last time and thought we would start out at the hotel bar. We had such a great time with our bartender, the view, and the people, that we stayed for the rest of the evening. This probably is not the place to go for dancing or live music, but we thought it was a nice way to spend an evening.

Pros: Good Prices, Nice bartenders, Good View

Editor's Review

Hyatt Regency Chicago bar that operates on the premise that size does matter.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

Like many hotel bars, especially in prime downtown spots, this one charges a pretty penny for drinks--but don't forget that the beverages and views are big, adding extra bang for your buck.
