Lounges near Melrose Park, IL

“Great service and food! Highly recommend ♥️“

“We were looking for a nice place to get a drink that wasn’t crazy during the St.Pattys river dying festival because everywhere was sooooooo busy. We ended up coming here because of a recommendation and it did not disappoint!!! The drinks were amazing and the bar tenders were such good company. This is definitely a place I would go to frequently if I lived near by. My only suggestion is let’s get some Karoke going in there 😃“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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 team that works the food side of this club is top notch. Need to mention the team of American Airline's Agents at flagship, they work like a well oiled engine, aligned with each transaction, each guest is treated with respect. Today, there were issues with our flight, Concierge Key, and the whole team worked together to get us rebooked.
They never fall short of 190% action and attention. Will remain loyal to American!“

“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.“

“Had the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

“There are very few places that you attend where you can honestly say every experience was better than the last. Everything from the cocktaisl to desert was amazing and each server has their own unique way of making you feel as if their world is revolving around the needs of the customer. I dine out regularly, and never come away thinking that I was actually happy to have paid for a dinner, but not with Eddie V. You Can talk the talk, if you can walk it, and they can!!“

“We recently saw Nonsense here. The show was great. The set was designed well. The seats were comfortable, but being short, it was a good thing no one sat in front of us, or it would have been difficult to see. This is a beautiful theatre, and I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. My only complaint is that I do think tickets are overpriced. They're charging the same prices as downtown shows, and the theatre is not worth the price.“

“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“

“Great prices, drinks, & great ownership. Very clean and always a good time. Highly recommend!! The house sangria is killer!“

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

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“Chill and good vibes All night“

“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.“

“fun atmosphere and great service love this place 😍“

“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.“

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

“This was my 5th time there on a Sunday and the atmosphere and team were amazing
The crowd is a good local bar group with a kind and friendly vibe.

Nancy the bar tender couldn't be more kind and accommodating.. this place rocks with awesome good old tavern style kindness and
Welcoming feelings..I will be coming back again and again!!“

“Excellent service from the whole team, hey. Proper lekker vibe and ambiance. Especially Amy is super Lekkarrrrr.

The food is top class — that tender meat with mash is just on another level.

Absolutely love it 😻“

“Thursdays Karaoke Night is a blast with great food, selection of drinks, a vibing atmosphere, wonderful staff with a pool table. 👍“

“Only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is vaccination card was required for service and I don't exactly carry it around in my back pocket. She did make me a long island iced tea to go and it's delicious with the perfect amount of liquor!!!“

“The overall experience was impeccable. Macks and the rest of the staff know all too well what they’re doing, and were the best of company throughout my visit. I wanted a change with a subtle splash of color, and that’s exactly what I got! 1000/10 would recommend Macks for anything you want done!“

“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“

“We were here a couple of years ago and planning on going hopefully this weekend (I'm from Chicago but live overseas for work). The food was amazing and the atmosphere, music, dancing was a lot of fun and not where you felt you were being picked up or come on to all the time...it was a nice place. Can't wait to go again.“

“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.“

“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!“

“it's a good place I recommend you guys come on Fridays“

“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.“

“Love the place it’s great to relax at“

“For my 21st birthday I had a long island iced tea and I didn't feel anything from it but I was there September 25th Sunday the bartender lady was really nice surprised me with my drinks and they tasted really good as if it wasn't an alcoholic drink at all“

“Amazing vibes
Amazing KJ
Old School
Saw a group of Serbian dudes almost skirmish with some Polish fellas. It was awesome 👌 👏 👍

Edit: if fred the KJ isn't there, I might give this place a 2 (I heard he got fired)“

“Bluefin in Park Ridge has become my go-to for business lunches, and I keep coming back for good reason. This is the best sushi I have found outside the Loop, and I have covered a lot of ground. The fish is consistently fresh and the rolls are executed at a level that most city spots would be proud of -- not the watered-down suburban version of the cuisine, the real thing.

The atmosphere is what makes it work for a lunch meeting. The music is cool without being intrusive, the space has energy without feeling chaotic, and the staff is sharp and attentive every time I walk in. I can actually have a conversation, close a deal, and enjoy the food. That combination is rarer than it should be.

If you are northwest of the city and want serious sushi in a room that feels genuinely alive, this is the answer. Five stars, no hesitation.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Not a terrible joint, parking isn't easy but worth it. Good enough portions for enough food.“

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

“Great place n great bartenders“

“I noticed the photos of various legends displayed on the walls. The owner, Jeremiah, was very friendly. I love egg rolls. I was impressed with the variety of egg rolls on the menu. I ordered the philly egg roll and the j*** chicken egg roll. They were both very tasty. I will return to try others.“

“This restaurant got me and my cronies through a sweaty weekend at Anime Central. We would come here once a day and be full for the rest of the entire day. The food was alright but most importantly it got the job done. Good prices, super nice staff, easiest five outta five I’ve handed out in my god damn life“

“What a brilliantly managed and wonderfully pleasant location this truly is! Perfect place while waiting for the flight. I had an incredibly smooth and highly enjoyable time from the absolute second I arrived until the moment I finally left. It is rare to find a place that completely nails the fundamentals so perfectly. I give this spot my highest possible recommendation without a shadow of a doubt!“

“We were there for a private party. The food was brought in. The bar service was slow for a large gathering. I loved the place but low lighting made the quality of pictures poor. With better lighting and an additional bartender I would go there again.“

“The restaurant was great, excellent food and service. It's part of the Hilton Hotel and the parking is self service, but there is a fee for the lot. However, the restaurant does validate so there's no fee to park when dining there.“

“I had such a blast at shades of hunks last night. And this venue is beautiful. Great staff and the owner was constantly walking around making sure everything went right. And he is a very nice person I talked with him a few times. And then after the show they had a great dj. So all in all great venue, great staff, and great show.“
