Lounges near Elmwood Park, IL

“I was surprised by the atmosphere of the party organized there, live music, very good dinner, especially the chicken. Service on a huge++
All the positives outweigh the parking issues, although honestly it was quite easy to find a parking space on the street.
I sincerely recommend it, especially for special events.“

“Can’t rate the food since I didn’t have any. But this little cozy spot is exactly what I needed. No shame on those city young spots but having people around you that are respectful and friendly is key.
Great music, staff are nice and everyone knew eachother. Will come back again and again“

“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“

“If you're looking for a truly unique and thrilling experience, I highly recommend checking out Axeclusive Lounge. This venue offers an incredible axe throwing experience that is perfect for groups of friends, families, or even corporate events. They even offer a Virtual Reality and Splatter Room. The staff at Axeclusive Lounge are friendly and knowledgeable, and ensure that all guests are having a great time. They provide thorough safety instructions and guidance on proper throwing techniques, making sure everyone is comfortable before beginning. Once you're ready to start, the atmosphere is electric. The sound of axes hitting the targets is exhilarating, and it's hard not to feel a rush of excitement with every throw, maybe even let out any frustration. It’s a nice way to decompress and escape reality. And if your family is as competitive as mine, we kept each other on our toes. Overall, I highly recommend Axeclusive Lounge to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience. It's a great way to spend an afternoon or evening with friends. I’d definitely come back again!“

“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!“

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

“Very nice refreshing drinks and the outdoor view is so gorgeous“

“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).“

“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.“

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

“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“

“my place to be with good people“

“I attended a party in the party room. There was a cash bar in the room and the attendants were really nice. The room was a very nice size. They allow you to decorate. There are about 10 round tables and chairs provided as well. In addition, you can also bring your own food. Even with the table and chairs, there was space for the dessert table, DJ booth as well as a balloon arch with backdrop for photos. Oh, one final thing, the room has its own entrance from the parking lot and two bathrooms for your party guests.“

“Queenies is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Bartender Marvin and Alex is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing steak. Must come back. 10/10.“

“Great establishment! First time visiting. It didn't seem inviting at first. Lots of locals. Ended up having an amazing time with a group of 15+ party. The staff was amazing, food was delicious, and prices were great! It was Kareoke night on a Saturday. The crowd and staff helped people sing if they were nervous! Very fun time. We will be back!“

“Like a flash back to the 70’s, before I could hold a cocktail but fancied doing so.....“

“Made a delivery and the owners had been notified by my employer that it was my birthday. They put together a margarita to go for me and I can honestly say I’ve never had a better one. And the owners were extremely kind even though I was running late.“

“We’ve always had a blast there. murray is the best. However the new sat night Karaoke host is absolutely wretched. She was rude, snotty and acted like everyone was annoying her. We were afraid to request songs. Big bummer because that has always been our go to spot. Missing Clyde for sure!!!“

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“Delicious pizza, great food overall, good daily specials. reasonable beer prices and friendly, attentive bartenders! I love this place.“

“Just had lunch with my neighbor Jorge and as usual was NOT disappointed! Chris was her usual friendly self. She’s always on the ball about pleasing people and sending them home happy and full. Rose was the waitress everyone dreams of. Patient and funny all in the same breath. If you haven’t been to LaVilla I highly recommend a visit. You will want to return again and again! I’d be there more often but I have no self control. 🤣“

“Chill and good vibes All night“

“The Admirals Club (ORD Terminal 3): My Layover Oasis of Luxury (and Free Snacks)

Ah, the Admirals Club at Chicago O'Hare Terminal 3. Forget delayed flights and screaming children, this place is my airport sanctuary. It's like stepping into a parallel universe where travel is actually enjoyable.

First, the food. Gone are the days of sad, soggy airport sandwiches. Here, we're talking gourmet salads, artisan cheeses, and hot dishes that actually look appetizing. I practically sprinted past those overpriced Auntie Anne's pretzels to get to this buffet. And the best part? It's all free. (Well, technically included in the membership fee, but let's not get bogged down in details.)

Then there's the drinks. Forget those mini bottles of questionable wine. The Admirals Club boasts a full bar with top-shelf liquor, craft beers, and even a decent selection of wines. And the bartenders? They're like mixology magicians, whipping up cocktails that would make James Bond proud. I may or may not have had one too many "Mile High Margaritas" before my last flight.

But the real MVPs are the staff. They're like a team of hospitality ninjas, anticipating your every need before you even realize you have one. Need a charger for your phone? They've got you covered. Want a quiet corner to catch up on emails? They'll point you in the right direction. They even managed to track down a rare bottle of sparkling water for my ridiculously picky travel companion.

And let's not forget the views. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of the tarmac, where you can watch planes take off and land while sipping your mimosa. It's strangely mesmerizing, like a live-action air traffic control simulator.

The only downside? Leaving the Admirals Club and actually boarding my flight. It's like being ripped from a blissful dream and thrust back into the harsh reality of economy class. But hey, at least I have the memories (and maybe a slight hangover) to keep me company.“

“Only thing I would have loved was a portable magnifying mirror to use at the desk“

“Was brought here with a local friend. Hung out in the back. Outside, under the stars and playing on the drums. Definitely a place high on my return list.“

“Great service and even better food! 10 out of 10 all around! When you go ask for Josh!“

“Good ambience. Good food. Good service. My husband and I went there with another couple and were amazed with everything. We want to go again.“

“Brought my kids to a concert there and the customer service was amazing. They were very accommodating and helpful with the kids. On top of that our food was delicious. Even my pickiest eater ate their fill. We had a blast! Thank you guys so much! 🫶🏽🫶🏽“

“I found Easy Bar while searching for somewhere to spend some time after our show was over in the neighborhood. Turns out Wednesday evenings they host comedy open mic in the back. My compliments here are to the comedians I was able to see perform and the host especially. The way he closed out his brief opening set had myself and others in tears. Not the tears that laughter provokes, but an emotional depth that I assume took an insane amount of courage to speak in front of a room of people. I traveled into the city last night to feel and experience something different from my day to day and it just so happened to be three words. Chocolate covered knives. Please do thank him for me.“

“Super nice peeps- dog stuff so it’s a keeper. Just go“

“It was my 1st time there. I was there on Saturday, August 12th 2023 from 9pm to 1am.Bartender was very nice, Tony the karaoke DJ was awesome, nice atmosphereand people. Reasonably priced drinks and food was good. I recommend the chicken strips

Parking: Parking lot is a little small, but if you get there early enough you'll have no trouble finding Parking“

“Can’t say enough good things about this place! They saved the day when our planned outdoor birthday party got cancelled due to weather. The space is lovely with plenty of open space for dancing and socializing. The sound system and acoustic were great! Above all was the amazing owner and staff. They were there to help and pitch in with anything needed. 100% recommend this place for your next event!“

“Pretty space, intimate and friendly staff.“

“My husband and I had an exceptional experience at the hotel during a wedding weekend. The staff was incredibly accommodating, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the venue for the wedding was stunning. The attention to detail and top-notch service made it a truly memorable stay. I highly recommend this hotel for any special occasion or simply for a special getaway. Five stars!“

“If you looking for the worst bar ever omg let me tell you about the BEST EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD… coming to Mars was the best decision I made spontaneously…me and my friend was supposed to go skating but that FAILED!!! NOT TO MENTION WE DROVE AN HOUR HERE for that event😭😭…So we found other plans here and this was the best by far.
