The owner is polite and seeks to ensure that all visitors feel safe and wants them to enjoy the venue!! He never turns anyone away if requesting to greet him for a brief introduction when I'm there. I've produced events here and exposed inner city youth to this luxury experience that they may have never had if my team and I hadn't reached out. I expect my guests and business clients will continue to take interest in renting the Grand Ballroom Chicago as executed in the past few years. The list of satisfactory referrals is growing!! #1stladyrebasoul

We've been hosting monthly events here for the past two years for a large crowd. I'm not sure when…read morethe new owner/management took over, but he's always been accommodating. It's a large beautiful (I would like to say historic) venue that has a large dance floor, plenty of seating, huge bar, stage where Live Music or DJ can perform, private dressing room with a small bathroom, and a full-size commercial kitchen to rent if you want to provide food or bring in a caterer. There is a parking lot in the back, as well as across the street, and street parking. The owner has security patrolling the parking lots the entire night. Our guests have never had a problem. They only provide rental space, bartenders, and a few servers/waitresses, you have to provide/hire your own vendors (caterers, DJ, decorations, etc.). In being an Event Planner for the past 30+ years from Corporate to Community events, as with all Service-based businesses, you're going to always have a rotating door when it comes to customer service. It's part of the game. It's hard to find good help these days. My personal experience, as well as my experience in attending other events hosted there, has always been great. I know other event promoters who have also been hosting their events here for awhile, so if it was that bad, we wouldn't still be here. The owner does an excellent job in doing his best to stay on top of it. So when you read other poor reviews, create your own opinion based on your own experience like we did. Otherwise you just might miss out on a GREAT experience!

After searching for a unique, affordable place to have my Dad's 50th birthday party, I came across…read morethis gem in Pilsen. This 1500 square foot space functions as an art gallery, so beautiful art adorns the walls. The interior has a raw, minimalist vibe to it, which is refreshing. In the center of the gallery, there's a bar with about 6 or 7 stools. Also, there are a couple flat screen tv's and stereo system with a microphone that we used for karaoke at the end of the night. In short - we had a blast! This space is very affordable, plenty of parking, beautiful vintage space and the staff (who actually live in the building) were really nice/ helpful. Oh, and it's also run completely by wind power too!

They are open every 2nd Friday of the month from 6-11pm, or by appointment.

VFW's bring up childhood memories of cranky old men complaining about the war. At least that is…read morehow they seemed where I grew up. This place is anything but cranky old men complaining about the war. My first experience here was completely surprising. I came for the Friday fish fry with my father and the nugget, who was a baby at the time. During Lent, this place is PACKED with people on Friday nights. I could not believe it. While waiting for my fish to arrive, I got a glass of wine at the bar. I thought I misheard the price...nope I didn't...it was soooo cheap compared to a bar or restaurant. After I bit into a nice meaty piece of fried fish, I was hooked (buh duh cha). The fish fry continues all year long...not just during Lent. Don't like fish, no problem. They have Italian Beef sandwiches, hot dogs, and fried shrimp. The price of your meal also includes coffee, and cake for dessert. You can't go wrong. Don't forget to bring some cash for the raffles. They usually do a 50/50 raffle, and some other thing. For Valentine's Day there was a delicious pork dinner and a band. For St. Paddy's they do a corned beef dinner. High suggested! Tuesday is Bingo and Thursday is wing night. There is almost always something going on here. Check it out!

Our friend bid on a foursome here at a charity auction so we joined them for that round today…read more Is a nice course with lots of old oak trees and only one hole with any water to worry about - number 11. The tee boxes and greens are in good shape. It is a very forgiving course as there is very little in between each of the fairways which are rather compactly laid out next week chiller. None of the holes are north of 86th and nine of the holes are on the south aide of the street. The strange thing is since it is a private course there are no markers for the tea boxes and you don't know what hoke you are on without your caddie. There are no bushes or demarcations between greens and the next holes tee boxes so it feels kind of wide open. If you walk each person gets their own caddie, if you take a cart each foursome gets a walking fore caddie. Everyone was extremely nice at the club. From the gentleman at the bag drop to the starter to the caddies and the servers at the grill. We had lunch before the round and two of her group and the burger. It look like it was about 10 ounces in weight and they said it was season very well and delicious. I had the three mini pork belly sliders with tomato jam and they were very flavorful and just the right size. The french fries were well browned and nicely seasoned. Have no idea what this place costs to be a member but if you have a chance to play there don't hesitate.

We had an amazing Friday evening!…read more I mean.... I had such a fun, satisfying, delicious, musical, vibing evening! If you haven't heard of or been to The Quarry on the south shore of Chicago, I'm putting you on notice. We joined Chicago history maker and philanthropist Yvette J. Moyo for her birthday celebration. Every Friday at the Quarry, there's, jazz and beautiful food and drinks for grown folks. LOL We ate "the Nuggets of Knowledge" too fast to take photos, just one of the amazing dishes created by The Bald-Head Chef and music by @allthesaxyouwant on IG. The place is a whole vibe. One for the books!

We…read morebooked the smaller room to hold about 80 people and the owner was really nice and accommodating. On the day of the repast I arrived first to get the room ready for the guest to arrive. I walked in and was utterly surprised the tables need to be thrown away and rebought. The 6 foot serving tables were not sturdy at all. And the tables where the guest sat were horrible. Thank my lucky stars I brought my own black table clothes. The place was HOT. They claimed to have had the air on but it was an 85 degree day and cooler outside then in there. The shared kitchen was ok. But the freezer is full of old food. The manger was abit rude and unprofessional as someone parked by the door and we advised her we would have them move. She advised they could park in the parking lot she would open it as a courtesy but it's normally $75 an hour to park there . She also made mention that the shared kitchen was $25 a hour. After she was done with her ranting. I mention to her that those items were included in our contract. She paused and recanted her statement. I totally understand what they are doing in this neighborhood and I commend them for it. However, the hourly price they are charging does not match up with the space. I'm hoping they continue to work on this location and improve it! Also, I'm going to assume the sign they provided on this ad is the future sign for the building as there is a plastic sign hung up on there right now
