Lounges near River Grove, IL

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

“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 😃“

“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.“

“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! 👍“

“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 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.“

“my place to be with good people“

“Had the Rose burger and it was 👌🏻“

“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“

“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“

“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. 🤣“

“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!“

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

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

“Chill and good vibes All night“

“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.“

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

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

“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!!“

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

“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!“

“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 😻“

“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. 👍“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Blufish offers a great selection of fish centered appetizers, maki rolls and asian inspired entrees. Not photographed but the tuna tartare and wasabi chips were a stand out. The bibimbap was a group hit and paired nicely with the various rolls as our table was all sharing. The design of the restaurant is chic, modern and lighting is perfect for a date night or night out with friends.“

“Amazing vibes
Amazing KJ
Old School
Saw a group of Serbian dudes almost skirmish with some Polish fellas. It was awesome 👌 👏 👍

Edit: if fred the KJ isn't there, I might give this place a 2 (I heard he got fired)“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Love the place it’s great to relax at“

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

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

“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!“

“Great place n great bartenders“
