“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“

“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!“

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

“We had the most magical evening at After. The food was beyond amazing and the service was top notch. We are still talking about our memorable dinner.“

“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.“

“Every time I visit Chicago I have to stop in continental and say hi to one of the nicest, greatest bartenders I’ve had the pleasure to receive a soda water and bitters from. His name is Kyle, but known to many as Tex Houlihan. Great atmosphere. Great service. Great soda water.“

“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“

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

“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“

“A great place to dine before a Bulls game…been here a number of times, and it never disappoints. Here’s the scoop…the restaurant is OLD SCHOOL. No frills menu and no substitutions (although our server allowed us to get a side of steamed broccoli). I recommended the Queenie’s Sliced Steak and the Caesar Salad. The martini’s are of generous size and are a perfect compliment to the meal. The piano in the center of the dining area gives this place a personal touch. The service is spot on and although the seating is a little too close to the people next to you, I find myself chitchatting once I get a martini or two in the system!“

“This is our go to spot after work to play some games and chill on a couple drinks 🍺 cheers 🍻 Bartenders are nice every time we came in“

“Yummy food and cocktails! Board games too!“

“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 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!“

“Had the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

“Excellent customer service. Food was delicious and the prices weren’t bad at all. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing place and the people there are awesome“

“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.“

“Great service and food! Highly recommend ♥️“

“Intimate, welcoming and fun atmosphere. Karaoke night is a great time. 10/10“

“From what I understand this is a very beloved concert venue in Chicago, so when the hometown dudes in Belmont announced a headline show here I knew I had to make the trip from Minnesota. Coming from Minnesota we have the iconic First Ave so this was similar to that although likely a slightly smaller capacity limit. Staff were awesome from our entry to the venue to the bar staff, my only little complaint is maybe a bar on the other side of the venue but that's not a deal breaker whatsoever. Sound quality and sight of stage quality were exceptionally great. Plenty of room in bathrooms and the merch area worked pretty well. Would love to see a show here again in the future.“

“Great vibe! Sat outside.“

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

“Made a delivery and the owners had been notified by my employer that it was my birthday. They put together a margarita to go for me and I can honestly say I’ve never had a better one. And the owners were extremely kind even though I was running late.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Chill and good vibes All night“

“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.“

“Brought my kids to a concert there and the customer service was amazing. They were very accommodating and helpful with the kids. On top of that our food was delicious. Even my pickiest eater ate their fill. We had a blast! Thank you guys so much! 🫶🏽🫶🏽“

“Can’t say enough good things about this place! They saved the day when our planned outdoor birthday party got cancelled due to weather. The space is lovely with plenty of open space for dancing and socializing. The sound system and acoustic were great! Above all was the amazing owner and staff. They were there to help and pitch in with anything needed. 100% recommend this place for your next event!“

“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“

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

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

“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!“

“Incredible bar. Great location. Great prices. And above all, great workers. Just yesterday, I was at the green eye to enjoy the bears game. An insanely annoying group of suburbanites were harassing the single bartender during a rush. The bartender politely, yet firmly shut them down, allowing for everyone else to get drinks within a reasonable timeframe. Most bartenders would have cowered and spent 15 minutes going through the menu with people in the city for a few hours. This ain’t federales folks. Green eye is a great, normal bar for reasonable people that make reasonable orders.“

“lol oh Tai’s. It’s definitely an experience. Jeff the bartender is awesome. Then you have the regulars. It’s a dive bar in every aspect. It’s definitely rowdy but not in a way that I feel unsafe. The security guards are not overly aggressive about checking ids like some bars. Word of warning: you will be drunk by the end of the night lol.“

“Pretty space, intimate and friendly staff.“
