“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“

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

“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!“

“my place to be with good people“

“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).“

“Had the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

“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.“

“We stopped in for a quick bite. They made sure we were comfortable and when I asked to have a small slice of cake to celebrate my son's birthday . They went above what I was expecting. Made our night out memorable.

Thak you“

“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.“

“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“

“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. 🤣“

“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.“

“The whole place and atmosphere from the bartendars to everyone that goes there. They don't judge you and everyone is welcomed there. You just abide by their rules. Just drink and have a great time.“

“Chill and good vibes All night“

“From the Minnesota area. I work in Chicago area for last 2.5 years and just heard of this place. Glad I stopped by. The pie was ridiculously delicious and Mile the bartender was a way cool bartender! I love this place highly recommend!“

“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 has been my favorite bar in Bucktown since 2010. It’s exactly what you want for a good hang. A long bar with plenty of seating. Excellent craft beer on tap. Cheap PBRs. Nice little tables to sit at with a group of friends. Overall always positive vibes, good music, great people. It’s the kind of bar you can go alone and chat with neighborhood bar flys or hang out with a group with privacy at their high tops. I love this place and last went here after a show at the revived Congress theater…wish I lived closer. Used to be my regular go to. Best hidden gem bar in the area! Highly recommend.“

“Amazing Staff and beautiful space- I reached out to reserve the space for a milestone birthday after being ghosted to use another venue. The team here instantly responded and took care of anything I needed with a smile. The space was absolutely gorgeous.We need more venues like this. I received so many compliments. Everyone loved the space and had an amazing time. I highly recommend. 10/10 night“

“Went it for a loaded Bloody Mary. It was great. The people seemed really friendly (employees and customers)
The bathroom needs to be gutted. It’s terrible. I got water all over my self from something leaking. Looks like they have put 30 coats of paint over everything. It’s falling apart in there! The lighting in the bar was terrible. It literally feels like I’m in a dark basement. I would love to see this place get an over haul because it was great potential with the nice staff and great customers. Very very very welcoming!!“

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

“Love coming here with my friends we always have a GREAT TIME! they play good music from hip hop- reggaeton- reggae - house music- R&B! Also they have food now which is so 🔥! Definitely recommend anyone coming here for the good vibes & food!“

“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.“

“everybody is friendly. n its my hangout n great bartenders“

“We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon to grab a bite. The service was fast and the server (owner?) was really nice. I got a chicken Marsala, it was fresh and delicious. I also enjoyed an espresso. Hrana i usluga su odlične!“

“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“
