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

“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!“

“Had the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

“We had a marvelous dinner celebrating a birthday and everything from scheduling a reservation to dessert was impeccable. The seafood on the seafood tower was fresh and succulent, the warm goat cheese salad had excellent flavor and texture and the parmesan Sole and the Norwegian salmon were both made to perfection. A must have is the Crab fried rice. The bananas foster butter cake and Meyer lemon tort were both excellent too. Our server Joy really made our first experience truly special.“

“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.“

“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.“

“my place to be with good people“

“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.“

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“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“

“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.“

“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).“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“I recently visited the South Elgin location and it was very nice and clean. The host was very friendly. We will definitely be back soon!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“Stumbled upon this place at the end of the hall, in the Airport Hilton location, when I was up for The National NSCC. Wow! Bartender Carol was absolutely amazing, knows how to pour a drink for sure. Piano music was out of this world 🌎“

“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.“

“So fun to have dinner at such a classic hotel. The service was wonderful (Thank you Rigo and Fernando) and the space was beautiful- not generic or bland. Lots of gorgeous art work around and the food was fun too! We live fairly close by, but coming to the Drake for dinner feels like we're traveling somewhere far away.“
