River Domes return for their fall season October 16th - November 30!

River domes can accommodate groups of 2 - 8 and are by reservation only. Reservations provide you & your guests 2.5 hours in this intimate, climate controlled, one-of-a-kind setting on the Chicago Riverwalk. All dome reservations are approximately $85/guest - including a $25 non-refundable rental fee per person, and a $60 food and beverage minimum spend per guest. Open Table will take a credit card number to secure your reservation - nothing will be charged to that card except in the event of a no-show or late-notice (less than 48 hours) cancellation fee. River domes are fully furnished, and we provide a bluetooth speaker for guests to utilize as well as games to play during your time with us. Please keep in mind that, due to the nature of service, all river dome guests must be 21+.

The experience was like no other in front of the rover in a bubble dome. Food was a great and the drinks exceptionally made for chilly evening. The service lacked a proper greeter, we arrived and wandered aimlessly for 5 minutes being brushed off by servers inside. The dome definitely lives up to the hype with a few minor flaws the string lights in our dome were half burnt out, heat was being provided by space heaters who only half worked making our evening just a little chilly. The service provided by our server made up for some of the flaws but to sit here and say I’ll be back would be a stretch. I do recommend to at least try it once who knows you might have better luck.

FYI what’s not in the fine print - the $60 minimum also includes a $25 reservation fee so the minimum per person is actually $85. Additionally, their service model is that you’re meant to put in bulk orders as the waiters do not come back often. The manager explained this was detailed in email communications but the only emails I received were from OpenTable confirming my reservation and did not outline any of that relevant information. Fair warning in case you did not receive any of those details before dining there either.

Way overpriced. Food and drinks were terrible, with very slim selection and poor quality, especially the steak for what you pay. Nice experience to be outside in a cozy dome but not what I expected.

We have dined at the main City Winery on Randolph many times, and expected our experience in their Dome to be of comparable quality. We were very disappointed to learn that they were out of our favorite City Winery wine, several beers and a few appetizers. We expected more from an experience with a $85/person minimum.

Dome experience- the venue was really cute. Loved it. The temperature not so much. We had two heaters. We could only use 1 because when you plugged in the other it blew a fuse. So we only had one and that one only got to 66 degrees. They kept trying to bring others and none worked. It was cold and then the rain came and therefore our waiter went MIA. I had to leave the Bubble and go get him. I was a little miffed to say the least. They did comp our bible rental fee. But that was an awful experience. My husband had the salmon and his disk was really good. My lobster Mac and cheese was a little lack luster. And the bubble is plastic and out zipper was broken. The experience was not at all how I pictured it.

Me and my husband went for a date night and absolutely loved everything about it! The ambience the interaction and things available in the igloo was outstanding. The food was average but drinks were very good. I would definitely recommend and look forward to going back.

Fun experience. Enjoyed a night with friends in the dome with a beautiful skyline and fireworks from the Christmas parade. Most of our food was good. Salmon was delicious and we enjoyed the Macaroons for dessert. Our server was attentive and easy to work with. Two in our group ordered the Lobster Mac and Cheese - about half way through the entree we came to the conclusion the kitchen forgot to put the lobster sauce and lobster in the dish. We paid $26 each for a bland mac and cheese! Would have been 5 stars had all our food been prepared correctly.
