Lounges in Chicago, IL

“everyone there is like family“

“Been a few years since I have been back to Weegee's and after taking one step it felt like old times. Vibe and atmosphere were awesome and couldn't have been better. Had a bartender named Jim kid was phenomenal, newer kid so I got a variety of drinks and he killed it. Will 100% be coming back soon no way am I going years between visits. Thanks Weegees and thank you Jim“

“The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The pool has floaties and toys for littles, that was a nice touch. It is not super warm for being heated but wasn’t terrible. Our only complaint was breakfast at ETA. On our second morning we were informed that it would be a buffet that day and the next day, and the cost would be $29.99 for each adult and $15 for kids 12 and under. The buffet was underwhelming and the equivalent to a free continental breakfast you’d get at a Best Western. It was cheap bacon, the powder egg mix, if you get what I’m saying, definitely not $30 quality. There were other guests at the buffet that were as unimpressed as us.“

“Sky Ride Tap is a classic no-frills Chicago dive bar in the best way possible. Stopped in for a couple of beers and a shot, spent about $20 total, which is a steal for the Loop. The bartender was old-school and friendly, pouring drinks with a heavy hand. The vibe is laid-back, unpretentious, and full of regulars who’ve probably been coming here for decades. If you’re looking for fancy cocktails, this ain’t your spot—but if you want a cold beer, cheap drinks, and a real Chicago bar experience, this is it. Definitely coming back next time I’m in the area!“

“Small, cozy space with beautiful drinks. Very nice staff.“

“Professionalism. It's always a high energy, very sexy show.“

“We had the most magical evening at After. The food was beyond amazing and the service was top notch. We are still talking about our memorable dinner.“

“A great metal bar in the city! Neighborhood bar vibes- cash only, small stage. Great spot for local bands to play! Great staff- owner Dave is very personable and there a LOT! Nothing bad to say about it!“

“Flagship Lounge is better than the Admiral Lounge. It looks like this lounge serves both AA passengers and British Airways passengers. The lounge provides regular dining tables & chairs , bar / counter areas, back sitting rooms ( which are supposed to be quieter areas but there are some Loud Adults and families as well). There’s 2 buffet self serving areas , self serve wine area, self serve liquor & cocktail making area, and dessert section. There’s also a limited time made-to-order area (most likely for breakfast hours).“

“The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors," "The service was outstanding - our waiter was attentive and made great recommendations," "The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a special occasion," "This hidden gem exceeded all expectations, we'll definitely be back.“

“My sister had a special event there and every was exquisite from the food to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the bar tender was rude, very unprofessional, he made the experience with us very lack luster. If that is the person serving our drinks I wouldn't trust because before the end of the night he would serve us drinks or food. yet he still served everyone else.“

“Met a cool girl named Katie here. She kept saying slay. Hope she’s doing well. Nice place. Awesome pool table, so clean! Jukebox was lovely and esoteric. Maybe in the future think about getting some music like “Breakaway” by Kelly Clarkson or perhaps some Korn. Maybe even a entire selection of Nu Metal. Drinks so yum! I drank them all. Thanks!P.S.“

“Excellent customer service. Food was delicious and the prices weren’t bad at all. Highly recommend!“

“Every time I visit Chicago I have to stop in continental and say hi to one of the nicest, greatest bartenders I’ve had the pleasure to receive a soda water and bitters from. His name is Kyle, but known to many as Tex Houlihan. Great atmosphere. Great service. Great soda water.“

“We had a blast last night and the band was amazing. They sang a variety of music from current to old school.“

“my place to be with good people“

“As a visitor to Chicago, this was such a warm and welcoming place to have a drink or a late night snack and great conversation. The ownership and staff are amazing and the safe, relaxed environment is worth its weight in gold. If you can go here, please do. And tip these awesome folks, they do it right“

“Yummy food and cocktails! Board games too!“

“A great place to dine before a Bulls game…been here a number of times, and it never disappoints. Here’s the scoop…the restaurant is OLD SCHOOL. No frills menu and no substitutions (although our server allowed us to get a side of steamed broccoli). I recommended the Queenie’s Sliced Steak and the Caesar Salad. The martini’s are of generous size and are a perfect compliment to the meal. The piano in the center of the dining area gives this place a personal touch. The service is spot on and although the seating is a little too close to the people next to you, I find myself chitchatting once I get a martini or two in the system!“

“Bro, who are y’all hiding? I need to know, for a friend. Is this like a refuge for wanted people? Reminds me of that one documentary of the war of independence, where they hid people in the attic from the British in 1933 or so. Also, what does the W stand for? Did they only allow in winners? Damn, that’s tuff. I lowk fw that idea tho, because why would you allow in losers, am I right? Anyways, W business, keep it up y’all. Love the work y’all doing and protecting people.“

“I really appreciate the owner reaching out after my initial experience. Although it was disappointing at the time, they went out of their way to make arrangements for us, including offering a table and drinks to ensure we had a better experience. It means a lot when a business takes accountability and genuinely works to make things right. I’m looking forward to coming back and giving it another try.“

“Service was top-notch. Love the jazz music in background, volume not high: nice. Limited menu, it is a hotel bar restaurant. Perfect if you are staying in the Residence Inn or Springfield Suites. Great burger and tots. Cocktails, nice wine selection. Robert Schuelke, Lead Bartender, was friendly and quick, and his choice in music.“

“Visited when I was in Chicago for the first time this July. The tarot card drink specials were incredible, and how serendipitous—the drink I chose was on my signature card—the Queen of wands. Friendly people, amazing drinks, wonderful performers! Can’t wait to come back!“

“SEXY! ARTeverywhere............“

“My happy place 😌 My happy place 😌“

“it's a cool little dive bar. the bartender was kinda annoying and pushy... some short chick. I wasn't very fond of her but other than that the bars pretty cool“

“This is definitely a great place to be. There were a lot of people in the evening and they were having a lot of fun. The room itself was cozy and nice. The breakfast in the cafe was great. To be honest, I loved the place, it was full of energy.“

“Cancels performances by Jewish artists like it's 1930s Germany.“

“This is a neighborhood spot...... If you're from the neighborhood, it is a casual place to have a cocktail and unwind after work. I'm not from the neighborhood but I do stop there when I passed through at times to play some pool with friendly brother's which I've made many friends with "THERE" (Lounge)I've always felt very comfortable as well as safe and welcomed! It's a good place to throw a party at if you're local and enjoy a bar scene. They also have an outside area and back“

“Excellent ambience and fun menu. Seems that they opted to understaff the room, however. Our poor waitress was covering the entire place, but she did her best to cover everyone. There was also an unfortunate fridge malfunction that denied us our desired cheese board. Lots of potential, but regrettably unrealized.“

“Ivy League clubhouse style with dark wooden paneling, comfy leather seats, tons of tables, and two ornately designed fireplaces. I went for the CAA burger and it didn't mot disappoint. Full of flavor the burger was juicy. The fries were standard and did it's job. I recommend this spot for a casual drink and meal.“

“i realy enjoy going there ive have met some great people their an we play cards togather an we also have Bingo a lot of fun we have so i do tell people i know to come on out to enyjoy them self at the New Celebrity Lounge me i love going there aka pj“

“Friday nites karaoke. Noel is great with his music and he can sing. There are many great singer and the Atmosphere is fantastic. Everyone is so friendly everyone does their best to just get along. They have great Bartenders. Everyone should come on by and check this place out.“

“Hands down the best hotel experience I’ve had thus far in life. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else in Chicago now! I will be sure to book here next time I’m downtown. Special shoutout to Nina (unfortunately that’s the only name I remember, but everyone deserves their own shout out). She was so so kind and thoughtful. I was deeply touched that she carried my luggage out because the bellman was away briefly. That’s what makes hotels like this stand out! 🙂 I actually got a little teary eyed writing this just upon reflecting on the kindness of the staff. All the best! - James Schauff 🫶🏼“

“Neighborhood place . Enjoyed myself the DJ was ok in his defense he played what was requested , but when he was doing his thing he had everyone on the floor. Make sure you check out Byrd the barmaid, you'll Thank me and her later. Atmosphere was laid back but fun“

“Look, the food is good. Is it worth paying full price for without a Loyola meal exchange? No, probably not, you could get a bigger and decently better sandwich elsewhere for the same price. But if you do have a meal plan, I highly recommend this place.“

“I came here for a couple drinks with a few friends after work. They have a lot of good options to drink including Delirium. The bartender was very nice and you could tell she had some regulars that she enjoyed talking with. They also have free pool if you’re into that. Overall, it was a solid time.“

“Went here for my birthday (on a Wednesday), it was my first time there (a friend brought me) and I really enjoyed myself. I was given free shots and drinks just because it was my birthday. They played music that I requested. I've become a regular since then, I love the environment and the management.“

“A hidden gem inside Chicago Booth! Has a great view of the city near the river with a casual-upscale environment. I ordered the Bibb Lettuce & Quinoa Salad which was delicious, not to mention paid a reasonable price for it and had a great presentation.“

“Stayed here for Juneteenth weekend. We came for a drink at happy hour & for a late evening meal on another day.

For happy hour cocktail it was gin so we could make whatever cocktail we wanted with it if they had the ingredients. We ordered a French 75 and an Elderflower collins, the gin was good & cocktails were good.

For dinner we ordered the club sandwich & fries and Brussels. Absolutely delicious! Our waiter was very attentive and personable, an absolute pleasure. The hospitality within the area was great as well as the food.“

“The team is super attentive and the hotel design is modern and inviting“

“Everything was excellent! Hotel location is great, walking distance to so many amenities. Nice restaurants around. Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious! Staff are very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back!“

“The Lounge is one of my favorite speakeasy in Chicago! A must visit if you’re in West Loop.

Excellent vibe if you like House music. They also host House Calls events there first Thursday of every month.

The VIP host Kiana was so kind and attentive. We had an amazing experience and will be coming back!“

“Amazing place and the people there are awesome“

“I’ll start by giving kudos to whoever does your social media marketing, It’s definitely what got me in the building! The food was great. The service and atmosphere were great. The waitress was attentive and offered good suggestions. The thing I didn’t like was looking up only to have dog dining right across from me. This is not an outside, not cheaply priced establishment…the canine was not appreciated:(.“

“Great outdoor spot, great drinks...fun!“

“A fun, energetic, atmosphere, and wonderful staff! Always a party!“

“Very fun place to chill out and have fun.“

“"Absolutely love this lounge! From the cozy ambiance to the impeccable service, every visit here feels like a treat. And let's talk about the technology – it's next level, all thanks to their brilliant head programmer, Ayush Mahapatra. Kudos to the team for creating such a welcoming and technologically advanced space. Can't wait to return!"“

“If you go for the small plates and yet have an appetite, pick two. For dinner I had the Costillas and Arroz Chaufa mixed with chorizo, shrimp, peppers, egg and scallions. Hit the spot. Excellent food and fantastic service. The waitress even jotted down some local spot recommendations. Great time all around.“
