I have been here several times for volleyball tournaments at McCormick Center. You're going to pay downtown Chicago hotel restaurant pricing, but at least the food and drinks are good. Burgers hover around $20, if that gives you a good barometer. In nicer weather there is outside seating with firepits, which makes it nice. One time my wife and i sat out there and they were nice enough to give us plastic cups so we could stay out there after they closed. The staff is friendly and the food is good...burgers, chicken sandwiches, wings, pretzels, and really good looking martinis and bloodys. Nice bar with some TVs for sports. Good music...today they were playing 90's alternative...but not blasting it. Very convenient if you don't feel like walking to the nearby restaurants.

These folks go above and beyond standard Hotel Bar Drinks and food. We have become accustomed to the jejune offerings reminiscent of an old Jimmy Buffett song, "Warm Beer and Bread reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn". Not the case at Arc! The food here is quite good. The drinks are excellent and the service is next level. Well played folks. You make the McCormick Center special.

Best parm truffle fries I've ever had!! I have a work mtg every year at the Hyatt McCormick and it's been an 8 year tradition that I always have my annual wings and truffle parm fries. Chicken wings are average, but the fries are skinny fries - always crispy, showered with parm and truffle oil. Service is always quick and friendly and helpful. Arc is located on the bottom floor of the Hyatt and it's open late which is also super convenient, especially on super cold days. It's also very spacious with lots of tables for people to meet up. Love this.

I was staying in Chicago for a conference and ended up at Arc b/c it was in the hotel where I was staying. I started at the bar and got a Bourbon on the rocks. It was a big pour, and the bartender was super polite. I later changed to a table and joined some colleagues who asked me to join. We started with a slew of appetizers including the wings, dip trio w/ tortilla chips, and nachos. All were good. For my main, I got the salmon, which was good but on the smaller side compared to everything else I saw come out. A colleague got the Flat Iron Steak, which looked phenomenal. Another got the Italian Beef Sandwich, which she only ate half of... but maybe she was just full. It did look a little dry, but I secretly wanted a bite. I'd definitely recommend this place if you are at McCormick Place for a conference. There aren't many restaurants around this area, and this one is good enough.

The outdoor seating was lovely. I requested a sample of the chocolate chip bread pudding, and I'm glad I did-- it turned out to be dry and crunchy, not what I expected. On the other hand, the salmon rice bowl came highly recommended and did not disappoint. It was a perfect portion, delicious, and had a satisfying crunch. Our waitress offered great suggestions and was very attentive throughout the meal.

We were leaving a trade show at McCormick and decided not to wait in the Uber line with 10,000 other people so we found a table next door at the Arc. Beautiful day so we sat outside which was perfect! They were swamped with all of the other people leaving the convention but our server was very nice and doing her best to keep up - as was the kitchen. Drinks were meh, truffle fries delicious and so was the Chicago dog!!
