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!“

“Owners created a mind-blowing experience , the vibe, the bartenders & their customer accommodating skills , price was right, atmosphere was amazing. Owners know how to make any lounge magical. Wow ! indisputable 5 stars & then some...“

“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).“

“my place to be with good people“

“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“

“Perfect combination of esthetic decor, unique menu and signature cocktails!“

“I highly recommend this place for a party. We had our daughters college graduation party here. The staff from Geno, Kristy. Jacob and Benny was absolutely amazing. Everything ran so smooth. Food was beyond excellent. I would definitely have another party there again. Such great people. Thank you again.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“Super cool coffee shop. Reminds me of the cafes in Italy where you can grab a great coffee in the morning and a good cocktail at night. Good location. Stopped here while I was visiting and wish we had something similar back home. Was fast, delicious, friendly service and was a good place to work for awhile. Highly recommend this neighborhood coffee shop!“

“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.“

“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. 🤣“

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

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

“We had an Amazing time! The staff was awesome and the food and drinks were soooo good! Definitely coming back soon. Thank You for making Our Anniversary so special“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Pretty space, intimate and friendly staff.“

“What a great place for some really good and well prepared Sushi. I was given so much food and the Benton box was superb. Hudson the server was on point and the lunch time experience was fantastic. the bus service guys, who rarely get mentioned, were attentive and very very professional. Thanks guys“

“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!“

“Had a blast at Lincoln Tap Room last night—grabbed a round of Revolution Anti‑Hero drafts and Sailor Jerry cocktails, plus free darts and pool made it a total hoot. Ended up dropping bout $30 for apps we brought in & a few extras at the bar. Staff was solid, vibes were chill – that Lakeview dive-bar energy is 💯. Will def be back!“
