Lounges near Oak Brook, IL

“Jack did an incredible job booking our reservation for our store Christmas dinner. Diana was our server for the evening and her service was exceptional! Hospitality was beyond amazing and I will definitely return. Everything was prepared to perfection. Incredible experience-thank you Eddie V’s for making a memorable evening for my team.“

“I had made a reservation for what I thought was Water's Edge, but it turns out it was the Hyatt Lodge restaurant. Apparently, they share the same space, but Water's Edge only serves lunch. That was a bit confusing, especially since no employee was there to greet and seat us. So be aware of that. There were only two waiters, which was fine since it was not very crowded, but it took a few minutes before either of them acknowledged our presence. After that all went well. The food was delicious, waiter service was fine, and dining on the outside patio by the small lake was quite nice on a perfect weather day. A table umbrella to shade us from the sun would have been nice, though. I will definitely dine there again.“

“This was our third year enjoying Holiday Tea at the Drake. What a lovely experience! The service was top-notch and attentive; the tea selection was fabulous - so hard to choose just one. And the treats were all so delicious! We felt very spoiled! We'll definitely be back next year.“

“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!“

“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).“

“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 the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“It was my 1st time there. I was there on Saturday, August 12th 2023 from 9pm to 1am.Bartender was very nice, Tony the karaoke DJ was awesome, nice atmosphereand people. Reasonably priced drinks and food was good. I recommend the chicken strips

Parking: Parking lot is a little small, but if you get there early enough you'll have no trouble finding Parking“

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

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

“I always have a great time at Chet's. What a fun place, especially when the outdoor area is open and there is a band playing. Good place to watch a game, meet up with friends. Some food specials,too. You'll probably end up making a new friend or two. The beer is cheap and so are the ladies!“

“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“

“Liberty Tavern is a charming spot that offers a delightful dining experience. I recently enjoyed a delicious omelet there, which was perfectly cooked and packed with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend Liberty Tavern for anyone looking for a tasty meal in a cozy setting!“

“At the first moment you step in that place the personel give you an agreeable feeling. Very friendly waiters, it is a friendly place to to go out with friends and colleagues or with your date. heavenly cuisine, skillful chef, reasonable price and excellent service. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I’ve had many to go orders while staying here. The bread and butter is amazing! My go to is always French onion soup, and the angel hair caprese. Always delicious! The bleu cheese wedge is excellent! Service is always great and I highly recommend visiting as the ambiance is a great experience.“

“Warning: the internet menu is very outdated. The Maps app shows the recent menu as the 3rd photo. We had lunch and dinner, and the food and service was very good. The carbonara was a little bland, but the chicken was very good. But the portions huge. The soup of the day was very good and a large serving.“

“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!“
