Lounges near Lombard, IL

“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.“

“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).“

“Great music and friendly staff“

“I celebrated my birthday at Eddie V's and was blown away by the exceptional service and cuisine. Despite being a last-minute reservation, the staff made me feel like a VIP, presenting a heartfelt, staff-signed card that added a touching personal touch. The food was outstanding, and the attentive, warm service catered to our every need. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, Eddie V's is a standout choice!“

“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!“

“Outstanding food. Phenomenal service. Adelle's is my go to!“

“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.“

“Paisans is quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants. The bbq chicken salad is my favorite salad in the area. It's hearty, large portion, and always consistent. If you're into chicken vesuvio you should get it here yum yum yum especially the potatoes. We also enjoy their thin cut pizza because it's still thick enough to hold the toppings but is never burnt on the bottom like other places. The meat is quality too when it comes to the toppings we enjoy the pepperoni and sausage. The only potential negative is the restaurant is always extremely noisy but it's a pizzeria and bar so can't really expect anything different and the food is worth it.“

“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.“

“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).“

“This place is so cute! Service is not only great, but they are dressed in really cute flapper like costumes! There was also a piano player and Singer the night that we went. I loved it! Not only that but the food that we ordered was amazing! As soon as you walk in, you feel like you’re walking back in time. The aesthetic, the tunes, just everything, so pretty. can’t wait to go back.“

“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!“

“Love this place. Food and beverages are overpriced and they can crank up the a/c more otherwise I absolutely love the vibe and the staff is friendly. Definitely a classier jazz club. Not your average nightclub at all. The place is filled with nostalgia. Highly recommend! Note: the cover charges can be a little steep. Paid $15 just the other week. Still though, 2+ hours of live music and dancing is worth it to me given the atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Great place to experience. A little private club“

“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.“
