Lounges near Itasca, IL

“My waitress was excellent! I think she said her name was Chanté. I thought the food was really good too. I tried the Buffalo wings and Fritto Misto (calamari).“

“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 👌🏻“

“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!“

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely phenomenal experience at this hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, owner Frank greeted us like old friends. His warmth and genuine hospitality set the tone for the entire evening – he went out of his way to make sure every detail was perfect. You don’t just feel like a customer here; you feel like family.
The food? Out of this world. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavor – the pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauces rich and homemade, and the portions generous without being overwhelming. Easily some of the best Italian I’ve had outside of Italy.
And the live band? Pure magic. They kept the energy high all night with an incredible mix of classics and modern hits. The lounge vibe is sophisticated yet relaxed, perfect for date nights, celebrations, or just unwinding with friends.
Frank and his team have created something truly special. We’re already planning our next visit – this place is now at the top of our favorites list. 10/10, don’t miss it!“

“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.“

“It's as expected for a hotel with not many options around. Would recommend liquor over wine. You don't have to do what's on the menu as per usual. And bartender super sweet. Waitresses super laid back & kind as well. So for that alone, 4 stars. Just wish the food was equally as good as the service.“

“I really like this place.. nice ppl n drinks n food is great...“

“Excellent food and friendly service…“

“Stopped in last week and I was greeted by the sweetest young lady. ( Rachel) She is friendly, attentive and great conversationalist. Finally a place I can go to with a positive atmosphere. I highly recommend this location. Thank you Rachel for your service and kindness.“

“I’ve had many to go orders while staying here. The bread and butter is amazing! My go to is always French onion soup, and the angel hair caprese. Always delicious! The bleu cheese wedge is excellent! Service is always great and I highly recommend visiting as the ambiance is a great experience.“

“Such a hidden gem! Absolutely love this place. Dawn is amazing! I came to this location on several week days and she is always so friendly, kind, attentive, makes excellent drinks, and is so warm and inviting she just makes you want to come back. I can't say enough good things about her! I also had the pleasure of meeting Kristen and Tony who were also wonderful! Shuffle's West is comfortable, relaxing, extremely clean, has a full bar, and is in a great location. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely love this bar!! All the bartenders are total sweet hearts, the DJ even remembers your FAV go to karaoke songs, and we have more fun than ever when we randomly hit our "hometown townie bar" :). Thanks for always being so gracious to us!“

“Richard, the bartender, server, & all around fantastic human being at Stacks Grilled Cheese and Bar within the hotel provided exceptional service. Worth the stay alone to meet someone who takes such great care of his customers. What a rarity.“

“Warning: the internet menu is very outdated. The Maps app shows the recent menu as the 3rd photo. We had lunch and dinner, and the food and service was very good. The carbonara was a little bland, but the chicken was very good. But the portions huge. The soup of the day was very good and a large serving.“

“I went bowling with one of my nephews who inadvertently left his credit card on the table. I wanted to bowl the following evening and when I showed up Renee recognized me and told me she had a surprise for me. She then went into the back room and came back with my nephew‘s credit card. I imagine it could be difficult to remember exactly who was Bowling on that lane last Yet she remembered and put the credit card on the side as she figured I’d be returning at some point during the week. I really appreciate her honesty and care for her customers!!! I highly recommend this bowling alley as all the people who work there are honest,work work very hard to keep things clean, Maintain the bowling lanes, prepare food, etc. I love coming to this bowling alley And Have recommended It to several other others over the past few years! Thanks again, Renee. I really appreciate your Awareness andkindness.!“

“Well that was the messiest, tastiest 15 minutes of my life! Those BBQ chicken wings served at the bar were beyond excellent.
The bar staff here are very helpful, friendly and funny. Service is brisk! A very enjoyable experience, one that i want to repeat. We'll done!“

“Got my traditional pre-flight drink here on Monday. It was ~$14. There's limited seating at the bar itself. Not sure if you can take the drinks to the surrounding tables, though I assume you can. The bartender allowed me to bring food from the bakery and eat it at the bar. While I was gone he put a napkin over my drink. I love that! It's a little reminder to others that I'll be back and not to mess with my drink! Great place run by great people!“

“This was our third year enjoying Holiday Tea at the Drake. What a lovely experience! The service was top-notch and attentive; the tea selection was fabulous - so hard to choose just one. And the treats were all so delicious! We felt very spoiled! We'll definitely be back next year.“
