The food is all fiiiine, but doesn't touch the great restaurants found all throughout Chicago. Think wedding reception catering. Nothing to write home about. We're there for the view/boat, right? That part was good! Pretty neat to see the skyline lit up for Christmas on a very calm and quiet (and ) night. Still fun to play tourist in our own city! DJ was fun, but the vibes were kinda weird (no one dancing/interacting). Maybe consider games on one of the floors like Christmas bingo or musical chairs?

Veggie Bingo is F U N G O. I'm so glad my buddy Ericka A. organized an event here last week. I'm…read moresad we went the last week of summer bingo but there's always next year! Veggie Bingo runs in the summers each and every Wednesday night. They get a huge crowd with the inside packed to the brim and the outside patio area full, too. Best part is all money they collect from the night goes to some local green organization. Woohoo. On the night we went, Ratso and Chica-GoGo were hosting. Loved them! Candice fell in love with a rat that night and I'm sure they are now set to wed, but if they ever break up, I'm going to be waiting in the wings. He was full of corny vegetable jokes galore! They had some fun cool prizes a bit better than when I used to play with my Grandma and her friends for boxes of kleenex & candles. The coolest part? These two adorable kids walking around handing out hot dogs provided by Hot Doug's. I wasn't sure what to expect but they were pretty standard dogs (like the others mention, full of meat) but one of those bad boys in my mouth satiated my hunger. Truly had a real fun time with buds, beers, beef & BINGO!

We're in Love I've gone BINGO crazy She's gone Tall Boy hazy Ain't no thinkin' maybe We're in Love Another lovely summer of Veggie Bingo at the Hideout ends. Veggie Bingo- where you buy Bingo cards and try to keep up with the fast and furious calling of Ratso and the Chic-a-go-go crew (or other cool local Chi-lebrities), grab a not-so-veggie hot dog donated by Hot Doug's (and sometimes brought to your table inside with two kinds of mustard from some helpful kiddos), drink 16 oz. Tall Boys of beer or Mike's Hard Apple Cider, and win some cool prizes! Thanks to Ericka A. for gathering the Yelp tribes here again. She don't play around, with that 12-card Bingo fever! I played my six cards for $10, and won a nice assorment of prizes and the attached Veggie Bingo screen print. The grand prize winner won a huge bounty of locally harvested vegetables, and the mood is fun, and even kid friendly. I had some friends playing on the patio, and that seemed like the place to be- nice weather, quick access to the dawgs, and nice weather! I hope to make it here again in 2014 (Veggie Bingo is every Wednesday after work in summer, y'all), cuz I've got dabbin' fever!

This is one of those secret places people wish they knew about sooner, including myself. This…read morecompany works with Horseshoe Casino in providing free shuttle services to and from the casino in Hammond, IN! FREE! All you have to do is show up at the office or asked to get picked up anywhere down Kimball from the office location all the way to Addison and BAM! - mini getaway. They have trips like every 2 hours 7 days a week but I'd call for details. The ride to and from the casino is when I feel like I get a lot of mental work done. So if you feel like just getting away, this is perfect. Make sure you don't lose the boarding pass for your return trip or else you'll have to pay $30 just to get home. Also! They do special group trips if you have a party of 20 or more people where the bus can pick you and your party up from one location and take you back home! If you want to plan something different for your birthday THIS IS IT. They have other offices too with different routes so I'd highly recommend even getting picked up around Wrigleyville, hitting up the casino, and going back there to party! Because...WHY NOT?!

The 5 star review above sounds more like a paid advertisement. "They do special group trips if you…read morehave a party of 20 or more .... if you want to plan something different for your birthday THIS IS IT" - how is this a review, it is an advertisement?!! Actually, the buses rattle pretty loudly and you worry all the way about whether or not they will make it, so I got very little "mental work done" on numerous trips. These buses are not nearly as nice as other lines like the Ram and the Phoenix, nor is their new driver, Chris who was quite mean to me on serveral occasions and who talks on his cell phone while driving - I know that is against the law for bus drivers, and it definately puts your safety at risk. I would take another bus line!

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.

I was visiting some friends in Chicago and we toured the Andersonville part of Chicago with Carey…read more Her guidance was exceptional. She seemed to fit right in with our group and was laid-back but also gave us some really interesting historical facts about the neighborhood throughout the day. + Great way to find hidden jems in a neighborhood; we sampled Middle Eastern, Guatemalan, and Vietnamese cuisine throughout the course of the day. Oh and pie of course! Along with a couple cocktails at a historic speakeasy. + Carey is really easy-going and does a great job of filling you in on the various dishes offered at each restaurant, sharing her personal experiences; also she is an exquisite conversationalist that makes you feel like you've known her for a long time. + The amount of walking, distance covered, and quanitity of food is just right. A perfect activity in a great city. If you're looking for an activity that will get a group out and about, this is an ideal option.

Even though…read moreI'm a native of the city, Foodie & the Feast opened the doors to restaurants I've never been to before. Each place was more delicious than the one previous... and affordable too! Our tour guide Carey was energetic and informative. She spoke knowledgeably about each food stop giving interesting background about the owners, the eats and the neighborhood. This is definitely something I would recommend to out-of-towners. There is more to Chicago than the Mag Mile and this is perfect way to get away from the tourist traps and explore the city. Also, local Chicagoans will discover some hidden gems of their own. I actually can't wait to go on the other tours F & the F offer! I've been on other walking food tours and they can't compete with this one. Just as the name suggests, food that you want to feast on is the main attraction of Foodie & the Feast. With the others, it seemed like the food took a back seat to an extensive history lesson. Thanks Foodie & the Feast for keeping my mouth watering and my stomach full. When the tour ended I was completely satisfied!
