If you have a small-to-mid-sized event to host then I strongly encourage you to have it here. We came for a friend's birthday party and had an absolute blast. The main (ground floor) room offered exactly what was needed for the gathering: ample space to mingle, a central bar, a plethora of places to sit, a clean bathroom, amazing food, and an even more amazing staff. (I also heard the upstairs is really cool but didn't get a look for myself) Our group was not large, and not particularly rowdy*, but the space and the level of service made it feel much more intimate. From the moment we walked in the door we felt warmly welcomed by everyone. The bartender made quick work of all drink orders and the serving of the food was perfectly timed. Speaking of the food: wow. It was DELICIOUS! I had three full plates myself. And I took some leftovers home. Incredible edibles! But another word about the staff, because they really made this whole experience... not only were they friendly but they were Johnny On The Spot with cleaning everything up. No plate was left for more than a minute without being scooped up and no drink was left spilled either. Additionally, towards the end of the night, *someone had had just a bit too much fun but the staff was totally cool and completely helpful. They are top notch. As you can tell, I can go on and on. But I'll stop here and close with: Have your next event here, you will not regret it!

Ella's Banquet was the perfect venue for the occasion to accommodate 100 guests. I had the catering delivered and the live bands ready. My mother was so happy with the event. This newly remodeled venue has great air conditioning, which was important during one of Chicago's hottest summer days. The staff was friendly and professional. Tony, the owner of the venue, was always making sure everything ran smoothly and took great care of us. My mother was pleased with his humbleness and customer service. The venue has free parking that is easily accessible. I also hired a sound technician for the live bands. We were able to fit a band of 15 members at a time. The sound technician did an amazing job and the live music kept everyone on the dance floor. This is the perfect venue to celebrate with a 100 guests.

You buy tickets in advance by zone..A,B,C. We purchased the C zone which was just fine. Seating is open in each zone and the sound was perfect. The string quartet were very talented musicians that played about 15 Beatles songs in a little over an hour. There was no intermission and no food or drink options. Parking can be a challenge in the area as it is mainly street parking. There are 6 different locations thru out the Chicagoland area for this unique one of a kind concert played by flickering candlelight.

I came here on tonight for the Fever Candlelight Christmas Pop Classic Concert. Beautiful decorations for the Holiday's. LED candles brightly lit on stage and around the the auditorium. I enjoyed the performances from varieties of Christmas Songs. Magical, stunning and intimate ambiance. The ushers were nice and escorted everyone to their seating Zone. The seats were hard and a bit uncomfortable. FYI - Out of respect for others to enjoy the show and to the performers. There is no recording or taking pictures during the performance. But, towards the end of the show, they will announce you can record. There is street meter parking along Lake Street in Oak Park. The quartet was phenomenal.

If you've ever seen that episode of Roseanne where she gets hooked on bingo and there's all the weirdos at the bingo hall with the good luck trolls and whatnot, that's pretty accurate. But at least you can buy beer! And bring your own, and food too. It fills up, but there's an upper and lower hall, so there's room for plenty. The odd random games in the middle of the bingo games gets a little confusing, but I try to sit next to someone who looks friendly yet knowledgeable about the action. It's soothingly quiet as everyone listens for their numbers, but with an underlying tension as everyone hopes to be the big winner. Game starts at 6pm Sunday, 7pm Tuesday. Buy a splotcher for $1.
