“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!!“

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

“everyone there is like family“

“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 😃“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Every time we go there, we're treated as if we're their best customer/close family. The staff is so well trained in how to, not only make customers comfortable, but successfully assist in the excellence of the dining experience. The food has always been phenomenal, and always plentiful. It's a fabulous restaurant and successful because of great food, and owners that know how to treat guests.“

“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. 🤣“

“Had the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

“My sister had a special event there and every was exquisite from the food to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the bar tender was rude, very unprofessional, he made the experience with us very lack luster. If that is the person serving our drinks I wouldn't trust because before the end of the night he would serve us drinks or food. yet he still served everyone else.“

“I’ve only stopped by this place a handful of times, but it’s honestly a great spot for a late-night hangout 🌙🍻. The vibe is really chill and it’s perfect when you’re out late and still want somewhere to grab a drink and relax 😎✨.

One of the best things is their hours they stay open until 4 AM on the weekends and even until 5 AM on Saturdays, which is amazing if you’re not ready to call it a night just yet ⏰🔥. It’s definitely a reliable go-to when most other places are already closed. Overall, a solid late-night bar that I’d keep coming back to! 👍“

“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.“

“Great outdoor spot, great drinks...fun!“

“my place to be with good people“

“Paris has a great vibe. I stayed in the Versailles tower which was so far from all the action. It was the renovated tower and wish my room was a bit more authentic to the paris theme. The check in line is also insane. The restaurants are fabulous! The views are great. In my room plugging in the hair dryer blew the fuse in the bathroom. Overall great experience and fun.“

“This place is amazing. I love their food My favorite is or are the soups + hamburger and fries but they have all American comfort food yum. They have a gaming area. They have a bar, with TVs to watch sports a sitting restaurant area and they have a pool table area, a big large, several pool table area.“

“Chuck's has quite a few Cajun inspired dishes on the menu. My friend enjoyed her chicken fried steak, I think it was. It looked very good. The cheese curds were delicious! My baked potato was good and I also enjoyed my coleslaw. I think Chuck's has good food. I've been there more than a few times.“

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

“Great service and even better food! 10 out of 10 all around! When you go ask for Josh!“

“Great service and food! Highly recommend ♥️“

“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“

“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!!!“

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

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

“Chill and good vibes All night“

“I was robbed there by the wait staff on my wedding night. the evidence is in, the idiot deposited the checks in his own account and it traced back to this place. it's a disgrace and a curse that will not go away. How many of you out there have been robbed and don't even know yet ? how many of my attendees need to review this place? thousands of dollars stolen !“

“Joey and Aileen did a fantastic job with my wife's birthday. They're incredibly flexible and willing to work with you to make the space look and feel exactly how you envision it. The venue itself is sexy and spacious. The lighting and sound was perfect. And the bar staff were just as great to work with as Joey and Aileen. We can't recommend the space enough and will certainly be back for future events.“

“Great music and friendly staff“

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

“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.“

“Attending a Wedding for Mr and Mrs Cole wedding“

“Went it for a loaded Bloody Mary. It was great. The people seemed really friendly (employees and customers)
The bathroom needs to be gutted. It’s terrible. I got water all over my self from something leaking. Looks like they have put 30 coats of paint over everything. It’s falling apart in there! The lighting in the bar was terrible. It literally feels like I’m in a dark basement. I would love to see this place get an over haul because it was great potential with the nice staff and great customers. Very very very welcoming!!“

“Amazing place and the people there are awesome“

“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 😻“

“My relax place, perfect for enjoying time with friends, really good food and the best service 😊“

“great little place and the food is awesome“

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

“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!“

“Loved the place when I visit, it was fun drinks were flowing I was having a great time until there was a guest singing an awesome song people were dancing everyone was singing I loved the song that was sung so I whistled for the guest who was singing at that point and I got hushed by the bartender! Who had an unbutton shirt and I thought was going on with the vibe. Sorry I was excited for a song
at a karaoke bar. Next time I’ll clap slowly to not bother you at a 4 am bar sir.“

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

“my first time here with my nephew and I love it ..the bartender is freaking awesome much love to Ms. Kim .. my awesome friendly makes you feel very welcomed I got to beat my nephew in darts .lol wish there was a pool table though .. but I will definitely be back. the serves is awesome s must visit“

“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!!!“

“If you work in a service industry and you're looking for a cool late night spot to have an after work cocktail or beer this is definitely the place.
9 times out of 10 you will find the first 10 to 15 seats of the bar filled with industry workers kibitzing and laughing with the bar staff. This place definitely has a Cheers vibe - once they get to know you, they'll always remember you.
It's just too bad they had to close the kitchen because their food was amazing....“

“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.“
