It was an interesting visit to the Chicago Club. I stayed during a summer weekend, and the club…read morewas virtually empty. Staff members were very attentive. My room was lovely and comfortable -- with wonderful snacks and water, which were nice touches. The Terrace (rooftop) restaurant and bar was nice. And the club is in a great location. During my stay, I toured the large rooms on the second level. One of the rooms was so grand and gorgeous that it literally took my breath away! Stunning!!! (see pics) I was advised in advance that there would be no meal service over the weekend, save for Saturday night. That was fine for me, but I note it because others may prefer to stay at a club where they can eat all of their meals.

The Skyline Club is not one of them. This member only club is on the 24th floor and has a relocated interior from Europe.

The menu is not earth shattering but competent. I had the chicken soup and a garden salad. Both were ok. The service was great. Not sure how you will get in unless you know a member.

My husband and I took a bowl-making glassblowing class at Ignite, and it was such a fun and…read morememorable experience! From the start, the instructors were welcoming and did a great job walking us through each step of the process so we felt comfortable, even as total beginners. We loved getting to pick our colors (the selection wasn't huge, but there were still some really pretty options), and then actually working with the molten glass was so cool. The process of dipping the rod into the furnace, gathering the glass, shaping it, and then blowing it into a bowl was fascinating and surprisingly hands-on. The instructors guided us through each step, helping with timing and technique while still letting us feel involved in creating our piece. It made for such a unique and fun date night, and we both left feeling like we learned something new. One of the best parts is that you end up with a beautiful, functional bowl that you can actually use at home, which makes the experience even more special. The only small surprise was that you have to wait about 5 days to pick up your finished piece while it cools properly, but that's understandable given the process. Overall, we had an amazing time and would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun, creative experience!

Last night, were lucky enough to visit Taven Club at 333. The beauty greets you before walking in. Gorgeous doors, lobby and elevators call out history, beauty and elegance. The history of the private club and now the woman who owns it is so fascinating. Years ago, the private club hosted many famous Chicago elite, such as, Frank Lloyd Wright, Carl Sandburg, William Wrigley and Mayor Richard Daly. Today, on a different floor, Erin Houlehen, with a background steeped in history, owns and operates the private club and event space. Sitting on the corner of the 4th floor, the views down Michigan Avenue, Wacker Drive and the Chicago River are impressive. Warm colors, various seating options and different rooms offer many comfortable options. The artwork presented around the space is mostly from Ms. Houlehen's private collection. They offer food and beverage options for members and events. On this occasion, we enjoyed charcuterie and cocktails expertly prepared by the professional bartender. Both the owner and bartender offered gracious and professional service. I highly recommend this space for a private event. If you are looking for a private club to join, this just might be your place!

This was a theme throughout our planning process, she was extremely helpful and responsive with all of my questions and needs! Once Alicia knew about our event needs, she found us the perfect venue (Concord 55, which I also highly recommend!). She helped connect me to the venue and provided options for the on-site set-up. Perhaps the best part of American Bocce Co is that, as the event organizer, I had almost no day-of responsibilities. I actually got to enjoy myself and participate while ABC took care of everything. Alicia and crew were professional and had everything set up in a timely manner. We had three courts for our group of 75 and it ended up working out great. Ahead of time, I had sent Alicia our team assignments and she created lanyards for everyone to wear with their team names. So helpful! In addition to setting up the courts, ABC kept the tournament running and had a referee at all courts. They were all very patient with the group, explaining rules and making sure the games ran smoothly. Overall, I highly recommend using American Bocce Co for your company outing! The overall consensus was that everyone had an excellent time. The fast moving games and lively atmosphere made for a really fun evening.
