The J. Parker

The J Parker is a classic go to bar in Lincoln Park! One of the best parts of this place is the knock out views of Lake Michigan, Lincoln Park and the Chicago skyline. There are two rooms and outdoor seating available. The north room is so cozy and perfect for gathering on a winter day, while the north room is glass enclosed with openings for the summer. As most bars, they are known for their cocktails more than their food. I always find the food eh in comparison to other places. Hence the 4. Anyways, it’s perfect for a cocktail with visitors. They are always amazed by the view.

The rooftop view of Lake Michigan overlooking Lincoln Park cannot be beat. While we sipped our cocktails, we commented on how unique it is in this area to...

To keep it short, and not so sweet, J Parker leaves a lot to be desired. While the views of Lincoln Park are amazing, the food and drink isn't so much. If...

There aren't enough rooftops in Lincoln Park, so this is a really nice addition to the area. Although you can find the same drinks for less at other places...

We had such a great time being here! Visiting from LA we wanted to go to a rooftop and it did not disappoint. Beautiful view, great food and great service! Will was the absolute best!!!!! He was constantly checking in on us and making sure we were okay. He made my cousins birthday so fun! Can’t wait to come back!

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].

First time here and was not a fan. It was open seating so that was great. Party of 5 for 9:30. Our waitress-long hair, glasses did not introduce herself...

J Parker has the most beautiful view!! The music is good and service is great. I would go back there for dates with drinks and fries with a view, but would not go for the food. Great spot for an after dinner hang out.

Was very disappointed by the experience, was looking to celebrate sadly was not the case. Waiting staff was short and gave not kind looks to myself and wife. It’s thing to me it’s another to my wife. Bar crew ignored myself and others waiting to order a drink, never said a word to us as we stood for at least 15 minutes at the bar first in line. Understood it was busy and waited very patiently, however when the staff is too busy giving you harsh looks doesn’t create a warm experience. Hope issues like this get addressed so it can create a better experiences for others.
