- HHeidiChicago / Illinois •1 review4.0Dined on Dec 29, 2024I love the igloos. A very cool atmosphere over looking the city at night. My only issue would be trying to eat the food. You aren’t eating at a table, it’s a small table in the middle. Which I totally get, which creates the cozy feel. The shareable food selection was very tasty. Minor inconvenience. It was great for just having drinks and appetizers, but not a meal. Would go back again.More infoThe Top Rooftop Bar & LoungePrice: Moderate• Tapas / Small Plates• Rockford•4.2
