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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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).“

“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.“

“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.“

“Owners created a mind-blowing experience , the vibe, the bartenders & their customer accommodating skills , price was right, atmosphere was amazing. Owners know how to make any lounge magical. Wow ! indisputable 5 stars & then some...“

“my place to be with good people“

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

“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“

“Had a great dinner here before a hockey game. The staff were wonderful and super on top of everything. You can tell they prioritize getting people in and out in time to see the games.

Mg group had the complementary cheese bread (very tasty) the Caesar salad (my husband’s was underdressed and just ok, but my other friend said hers was good), lobster bisque (phenomenal), prime rib (my group said it was delicious), seared tuna salad (very good after I requested more dressing),clam bucatini (very tasty), fries (very good), and the passion colada cocktail was excellent (we even got some to go for the game!).

I would definitely recommend before a game. It is a bit pricey though, but the food is delicious.“

“Yummy food and cocktails! Board games too!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Love this place. The atmosphere is incredible. It’s preferable to come between 8-11 when the dim lights set. Brett, one of the bartenders, got me out of a depressive episode when I was thinking about an ex. I cannot recommend this place enough. I’d give it 6 starts but black rock restricted me to 5.“

“SEXY! ARTeverywhere............“

“A perfect quiet, cozy corner of the city to hide away in with a good book on a cold night. I relaxed next to the fire with the full-bodied, Oxford Landing Cabernet and thoroughly enjoyed myself (and every sip). The staff was kind and attentive, I will happily be returning.
Reservations are not required, I was able to walk-in and have a few seats to choose from, but it doesn't hurt to make one if you're eating.“

“My happy place 😌 My happy place 😌“

“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“

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

“The cocktails were well crafted and enjoyable, with thoughtful flavors and an elevated approach to mixology. We really appreciated the quality of the drinks!

We expected a more attentive level of service. A bit more care and engagement would really help match the experience to the price point.

Overall, a solid cocktail bar with great drinks and good ambience!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Lobby Lounge no longer serves food, since the COVID pandemic began; for food one gets directed to The Palm (exorbitantly expensive) or the 24/7 Convenience store nearby.They still serve a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, have seating available, and are fully handicapped-accessible.“

“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“

“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 🫶🏼“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

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

“Highly recommend. Nisos Prime has been amazing every time I've gone. The food is always phenomenally and perfectly seasoned, the service is top tier with friendly workers, the vibe is eeeeverything, and I feel comfortable being there. It's literally everything I needed in a restaurant to be come a regular. Not to mention the location is pretty busy so the fact that they offer valet is a plus. The entire restaurant is gorgeous from your seat to the restroom. Get those phones ready for photo ops but don't be obnoxious. It's dimly lit so the flashes are noticeable. Great place! Chef's kiss. Enjoy your visit because I'll enjoy my next one!“

“This is my second time here at The Vig and i must say the service here is outstanding. Huge thank you to Dawn and Mel for their customer service. I fell in love with their Cookie Dough Cinnamon Roll my first time coming here. Unfortunately it’s no longer on the menu as they’ve made some recipe changes but the Killer Skillet and the McDowell Burger was absolutely outstanding! Whoever reads this review and is deciding on whether they should come here or not…do yourself a favor and just come. You won’t be disappointed!“

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

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

“I LOVE WANGS. The yuzu wings are THE BEST wings I’ve ever had. The atmosphere, vibe, music, drinks, most importantly, the staff. Tung, Sheila, and Linda are the nicest and most amazing bartenders ever. I will be coming back religiously and telling all my friends. I won’t gate keep cause everyone needs to know about wangs.“

“Amazing place and the people there are awesome“
