    This is such a fun place with mini golf and drinks and beer and really good chewy New York style pizza and you get great deals like for five dollars you can get a soda and a slice of pizza. Fun ambience. Bring a group! I'm from nyc and the pizza is very good and chewy and thin and the right cheese.

    Fun cocktail names!

    Adults and kids had a great time here. The bar had a wonderful selection of adult beverages with golf themed titles, and offerings for the kids too. We did not order food. It was a lot of fun, celebrating a birthday. We also used the retro photo booth!

    We recently came here for a private event for a kid's birthday party on a weekend early afternoon! It was such a fun experience for the kiddos and adults who stayed at the party to hang out. The putt putt course was super fun for the kiddos and they were able to go around a few times. By the end of the party, we witnessed a couple hole in ones! The drinks were great and they had TVs to show the sporting events happening that time. Staff was flexible (and kind to the loud group of kiddos) and nice to work with as a party attendee. This is a great place for wintertime in Chicago!

    Ok when I first walked in, it smelled a little musty. So that immediately made me question everything. But I am happy to report that this place was fun! And a wonderful alternative for an indoor activity during the winter months. There were couples, friends, families, kids, yet it didn't feel saturated. Whenever we did have to wait for a turn, they had games in between, a photo booth, and plenty of drinks to choose from. They could totally have more options of games/activities in between turns. It needs more holes too! It felt so short. The employee at the entrance was friendly and she had our clubs and balls ready to go and gave a quick run down. Bartenders were nice as well. You get to do one final shot to see if you win something and I won a free drink! Coming back for sure.

    Loved this place! At first I thought we'd breeze right through the course, but it was more challenging and bonus for $5 more we played unlimited! They also had bingo and service was excellent!

    Just celebrated my birthday here over the weekend and it was pretty fun! The way you make reservations is in groups of 4. They are very accommodating to help keep your big group together (mine had 16 people). And it was no problem adding an extra 2 people to my reservation. The vibes inside are fun! Lots of seating inside surrounding the course. My group of 16 were able to sit comfortably in one corner. They also have hook & ring and a photo booth too. The course itself is 9 holes - some were easy and some were medium level. You have a bonus hole at the end to win a free round or free drink.

    "Big Shoulders" 7th hole, along with a 7 shot max disclaimer and Chicago flags on the wall

    Big Mini is fun! No food: bring your own inside (it's allowed) or eat somewhere nearby before or after. Drinks: lots of non-alcoholic choices, including a good mocktail menu and at least a couple of NA beers. I like the spicy Parloma (Paloma mocktail). Yes, their drinks have enough golf puns to keep you entertained for a while. Service: really great, they rock consistently! They care. Ambiance: the 9-hole golf course is fun and challenging. I'm obsessed with the 7th hole (Big Shoulders, along with the Chicago theme on the wall behind it. Yay, Carl Sandburg!) It's spacious inside, with a chill vibe, and lots of photo backdrops for you and your group. Random note: try the free pub trivia on Monday nights!

    What a cool place! Had reservations for a Saturday night. They were more or less on time and the drinks hit the spot and are reasonably priced. They also have some draft cocktails, which is pretty cool too. Good selection of beer as well. Overall a very fun experience. They have some fun looking decor as well with LED displays if you wanna get your Instagram pics in. The staff was super friendly as well. Can't complain about anything! 100% will go again!

    Themes  They have themes for every week of the league

    Looking for something to do besides only drinking....We found something! We did the the winter mini league and it was a super fun activity to do with friends :) oh... did I mention there are prizes! And the bartenders are so nice, especially Gabby she's a sweetheart!

    Make sure you book in advance on weekends because earlier tee times get full quickly. There are only 9 holes, so try and drag it out a bit or you will be done fast. There are small games like tic tac toe and connect four to do before or after you golf. There is no dim lighting so everyone can see you while you're playing. The drinks were amazing and you are allowed to carry them around as you golf (there are places to set them down at every hole). Good place to go for just drinks if you don't feel like playing.

    The puttery was such a great experience! The food here is actually good, or at least better than…read moretypical bar food. The two courses are really fun and the rooms are very themed. One is a library kinda like Harry Potter. The other is snow/ski lodge themed. The reservation option for unlimited play and food tickets was a pretty good deal at around $40. With a group of 3 people each course ended up taking about 30 minutes. Some of the courses were kinda hard and we ended up just skipping after 6 tries since that's the max score. There were times when the screen glitched out or when the previous people at the course left their scorecard and it needed to be cleared. It wasn't that big of deal but one of us did have to get an employee from the dining area when this happened (at the ski lodge course). The software is pretty cool, you use the tablet at each station and once you finish inputting your score, your group's scorecard will automatically pop up at the next location. Perfect fun especially when you go at a time that's not too busy. We went on Mother's Day evening so maybe that's not a popular activity for mother's. Overall I'd recommend puttery to anybody that enjoys mini golf or wants a fun date idea.

Their food was really good and the bar service was fast. The course itself is set up like a library and it was really neat because you couldn't see everything all at once you had to do lots of twists and turns. It was challenging, but not overly difficult. Definitely set up more for adults than kids, but still counts as play. I'm excited to see what their other courses are like on other floors.

Also make sure that you secure your belongings because my daughter's phone pop out of her pocket then hit the floor of the vehicle and then bounced out onto the ground Next we did the ax throw which we're only supposed to get 2,3 throws but the young lady let us continue until we hit the target because we were the only customers over there so she let us get multiple turns which was really cool Lastly was the Mini golf they don't give you a pencil or a piece of paper or to keep score is really freestyle freestyling and people are walking around the course and kinda in the way so don't think of it as a complete game from start to finish you might have to alter courses But I think my favorite part was the Instagram worthy props and photo ops located all around the property to take some really awesome shots group shots in my daughter and I really got some nice photos together

When buying tickets online, you have to select a time slot, but that feature is completely useless. You can arrive whenever on your ticketed date and stay as long as you'd like. The problem is that on busy nights you face extremely long lines for the attractions and the park is over crowded- especially during COVID! There was no capacity limit set, no one (staff especially) was wearing masks, even though we were outside, social distancing wasn't enforced, and the props (axe, golf clubs and balls, go kart machines) weren't cleaned after each guest. Every attraction we headed to there was a long line, at least a 30 minute wait-- go karts have the longest line. Overall, Neon Summer is a nice concept, but they need better time management and crowd control because it was not enjoyable to wait 30+ minutes in every line, including the bars. If I were to go back it would be on a weekday or in the afternoon. The park is open to kids and adults, and kids can do all of the activities except axe throwing. On the website it states closed toe shoes must be worn, but that wasn't enforced. Staff was friendly and easy to talk to.

Of course we took our kids along because they would be the ones who could take full advantage of the facilities. The park itself was quite large, but we went for the kids playground. Signs were clearly marked for direction so we got to our destination with no difficulties. Our boys definitely enjoyed the suspension bridge, though my younger one was hesitant to go on first. I did see some older kids who were climbing "outside of the bridge infrastructure. There was a note to remind anyone not to do so. Oh well, it is what it is. Even if some accidentally fell when doing risky tricks, the soft padded ground would reduce the impact. On the other hand, there was one section of playground exclusively for children older than 5 years old. The slide seemed to be more advanced for young toddlers for sure. Therefore, we performed our sightseeing duty and walked away since our munchkins were 2.5 and 4.5 years old. Our older one enjoyed the straight slides. I liked that fact there were multiple slides with various speeds so that kids would not get bored on staying on the same one. Normally I wouldn't recommend anyone to drive to downtown but we did this time. My partner was able to secure a spot via SpotHero at the Harris Theater for a reasonable price. I got there much later than our scheduled arrival time yet he was able to extend for another 30 minutes in the app. Overall, we highly recommend parents to visit "Maggie Daley Park" and let the kids release some energy. We probably will be back again to poke around other areas when spring and summer in Chicago are in full bloom.

OpenTable only allowed up to 8 people per reservation at a time. We were a party of 13, so I had to split the reservations into two. I made a request for the tables to be close together, but I understood that there was no guarantee the tables could be together. Our reservations were at 9pm, and the place was packed. Three Dots and a Dash did us a solid and managed to reserve an entire alcove for us! I was so appreciative. Loved the vibe at Three Dots and a Dash. It felt much classier, like a mid-century modern tiki lounge. The music was fun too. Instantly recognized a retro Italian song by Pino D'Anglo, which just added to the ambiance. The drinks were great. We ordered a couple of rounds of the shotstapus, and I got the rum barrel for good measure. The drinks were sweet but tasty. Too easy to knock back.

The map led me down a discreet alley in Chicago, through a hidden entrance, and into what appeared to be a pirate's tropical fever dream. Reservations are highly recommended, especially if you want to visit the exclusive Bamboo Room, the intimate rum bar tucked inside the main bar. It focuses on rare rums and carefully crafted drinks, so book ahead if you want the full treasure. The main bar is heavily themed, with excellent tiki décor, dark corners, island music, skulls, colorful lighting, and the sort of atmosphere that makes you wonder whether you've entered a cocktail lounge or been captured by a particularly stylish pirate crew. The tiki theme is taken seriously, and the vibes are absolutely perfect. We sat at the bar and only ordered drinks, although food is available. The cocktails were beautifully crafted, delicious, and presented in a way that practically begs to be photographed. The bartenders were knowledgeable, entertaining, and a great deal of fun. Three Dots is also known for its extensive rum program, featuring more than 300 rums and rhum agricoles. We visited during the Christmas season and spent about two hours enjoying the holiday-themed drinks. They were festive, creative, and strong enough to make me briefly believe my shipwreck had been part of an elaborate Christmas pageant. Thankfully, the regular menu was available as well, so there was plenty of treasure to explore. Do not miss the gift shop. They have excellent merchandise, including limited-edition tiki mugs and apparel. We purchased a tiki mug, a shirt, and a beanie, which I now proudly wear while scavenging the island and searching for the rest of the treasure marked on my map. Three Dots and a Dash is one of the most memorable tiki bars I've visited. The drinks are excellent, the atmosphere is immersive, the staff are wonderful, and the entire experience feels like discovering a secret tropical kingdom beneath the streets of Chicago. Just be careful when leaving. The treasure map may lead you back to the bar--and after a few drinks, you may decide that's exactly where you belong.
