Rebar

Rebar is a chic, high end bar on the second floor of Trump Tower. It overlooks the river. Reservations are preferred but if you're there just for some drinks, there are dedicated tables and of course the bar itself for those dropping by. That of course also depends on how busy they are. The service is phenomenal and our bartender, Diane, was lovely as ever. She served us when we were at 16 Terrace a couple of years ago and even remembered us! They have a full bar with lots of exotic cocktails, wines, and liquors. If you order shots, you will be served a double. Prices seem to average 15 for that double shot. This is a great spot to stop before going out on a night on the town if you prefer to have dinner at a less expensive place. As far as bars go, this is one of the more affordable ones I've been to in Chicago. Dress code is business casual.

This isn't where I'd normally end up, but based on the reviews and location it seemed unfair to ignore the Rebar. Other than the name on the building there was nothing about this place that was political. Regardless of your affiliation this is a good bar with great service, good drinks, and a decent view; although, if you want a better view go upstairs to the roof top bar Sixteen. This was my first bar I stopped into at Chicago and Fernando, the bartender, gave me a great experience that set the bar for the rest of the trip. I got a Purple Rain and a Generation X Old Fashioned. The purple rain is basically a gin fizz, one of my favorite cocktails. The egg was frosty enough to sweeten the drink, but not meringue like a Ramos (my actual favorite). It was delicious and easy to drink. The old fashioned was mildly smokey, with a sweet touch. A good combination for a smooth beverage. If you want a cocktail, a quiet bar, friendly staff, and a nice view this is a decent spot to stop into.

I was there with some girlfriends the other day, and let me just say, we had a phenomenal time....from the food, to the cocktails, the service, to the manager, whom I think his name was Usama (?) ....absolutely fantastic...Usama was very sweet, yet professional. You can definitely tell he loves what he does. We will absolutely be back.

My first experience at Rebar was just amazing, from the moment I walked in I got greeted by the hostess with a big smile, I sat at the bar and got my drink immediately even if the bar was really busy, then I moved to the table by the window with a beautiful view that is breath taking, the server came to me right away and was very professional and took care of me with excellent service standards, shortly after I see the GM SOUS checking on every guest and stopped by my table to make sure everything is ok. I have been in the F&B for over 20 years and I can say that this place has higher standards and deserve five stars, I will be back always and actually I am planning my New Years ever here. Great job guys

Not my first time at the fabulous Trump towers . But it was my time at Rebar And it was amazing. Excellent service staff definitely went above and beyond. The quality of food was definitely superb . If your looking for a nice upscale bar this definitely the place. They have yummy appetizers starting at $12 dollars or wonderful seafood tower to tickle your fancy . My husband and I ordered the chicken lollipop which was a crisp to perfection made with teriyaki sauce with sesame seeds. We also ordered the seafood tower which was phenomenal assortment of lobster ,crab, shrimp salmon & oysters. The quality of all of the seafood great everything was fresh and tasty . The staff was also outstanding the manger Usama stopped by to check in on almost as much as out awesome waitress Fatima did . Everything was perfect ooh and did I mention the views definitely worth visit.

I was expecting something tacky with poor quality food for the money. I was very wrong. The fish quality was spectacular, and even though much of the food was American the nigiri was very good. I did not like the fact that popcorn was served as a free appetizer as it felt cheap, it is a chicago thing.
