I was a bit hesitant cause this high flying places sometimes draw a certain attitude of people but I was very pleasantly surprised by just how nice everyone was. The conversations were amazing. People from across multiple spectrums, backgrounds, and positions all shared opinions and ideas without shutting each other down. I would join but heard there is a wait list now. If you enjoy cigars, good conversation, and learning a ton you should definitely consider joining. Love the speakeasy feel of it all, for smoking cigars at least.

It's members only, but isn't snooty or pretentious. They hire kind and professional uniformed staffers who go beyond the call of duty.

The food prices are kept wonderfully low. Clubs do want members to actually hangout. The club is an absolute haven and perfect for business lunches, cocktail hours, and weddings (a fireplace so big even NBA players could walk in), and to just get lost in thought in spacious quiet elegance in a place great-great-grandfathers lit cigars.

If nothing else, it's a really interesting experience - and I'm all about interesting experiences (get your mind out of the gutter). With that in mind, I went to try Tango Speed Dating. To be honest, the word "Tango" terrified me. I'm not a dancer, I've never taken a dance class, and everything I've seen about tango on TV suggests passion and fast moves and lots of (revealing) red clothing. I was happy to find that the Tango/dance themed ice breakers did not require me to move my hips in any Ricky Martin-like fashion. Instead they were easy, respectful dance-themed activities like guiding my partner around the dance floor while we talked. Pretty simple stuff, but I was surprised how much more comfortable I was with my partner after each game. It was a lot better than just sitting across from them and making small talk. A plus that the price includes a glass of wine and appetizer. I was a little confused by some of the other reviews, since it's clear that this wasn't a dance class. -1 star because I can't say I was hooked and will learn Tango now, but the event itself is fun and the people I met were nice. I'd definitely consider going again.

I was terrified to try this, but accompanied a friend as a favour. It was a pleasnat afternoon. No,…read morewe didn't meet the men of our dreams, & it was a little awkward, but some very nice men & women attended, we all laughed at ourselves a lot & Gabriela herself was wonderful. Calming, bright, attractive, her exercises (no, it wasn't actual tango dancing) were designed to build confidence & trust, & it was telling which partners elicited more ease. And the fee included a meal & drink, so that seemed very reasonable (tho I've never attended speed-dating before, but didn't think they came w/ snacks & beverages). I took a single beginners tango lesson from her later, so that is somewhat colouring my review. I might give speed dating a 3, because it's not 'my scene', but her tango lesson that other day a 5. And the 2 are intertwined to me, thus my 4 stars.

(if you're attending a summer event and can be outside, or it's before sunset.) The bar seems to have lots of options, but no prices listed. So, it's a roll of the dice. "Market price" for a wine pour, I guess. Plus, they add an automatic gratuity. (Be sure to read the fine print) THEN, the card swipe machine asks you for an additional tip! This place hasn't been remodeled or updated in what seems like 50+ years. I hope to never return.

Sharing a perspective as a member…read more... My husband and I joined the College Club this summer and have nothing but great things to say about our experience. I was initially attracted to the idea of the social club. The lounge, which has a traditional college pub feel, includes a pool table, shuffleboard, a large flat screen, and lots of seating - a great space for hanging out. The venue which consists on two floating vessels has a large dock off the back. We were blown away by how much fun the dock has been. On nice summer days, we would come down for a couple of hours and lounge/lay out on the dock or hop in the water and swim for a bit. There are number of singles, couples, and families so it brings a nice balance of people. (We don't have kids but I've always thought this is the perfect club for those who do - without being too annoying for those of us who don't.) Also throughout the summer, they do Wednesday happy hours and a fun outdoor Thursday night concert series on the dock. I've talked to a number of serious rowers who enjoy the club for the boat access. My husband and I aren't rowers but to our surprise, we've had a lot of fun taking out kayaks (and paddle boards) - both with free access as a part of the membership. The gym isn't fancy but it's clean and has some good equipment (stationary bikes, rowing machines, weights). There are never more than a few people in the gym at once. I've liked it so much that I canceled another gym membership and only come here now. I wasn't sure if this would be a better "summertime" club but we've enjoyed into the colder months. In addition to my ongoing use of the gym, they offer fun social events like college football viewing parties and wine tasting events. Lastly, I have nothing but great things to say about the staff. They genuinely care about their members and have helped create a warm and welcoming environment. They really help set the tone for the overall feel of the club, especially for the social events. I'm glad we made the choice to join. It's been a great addition for us.

From my very first interview with Danielle, I felt incredibly welcomed--and the rest is history. ITL has hosted extravagant events, but more importantly, it has introduced me to some of my closest friends. Through this group, I've taken trips, celebrated birthdays and holidays, and even had the honor of officiating my best friend's wedding--someone I met through ITL. One thing I appreciated from the start was ITL's clear distinction that it's not a dating site. That was exactly why I joined--I wasn't looking to date, just to find a solid, supportive group of friends. Since then, we've all been there for each other through the ups and downs of dating, offering advice or a listening ear after a bad date. No matter what, ITL is always there to lift your spirits. ITL delivers on its promise: it's a way for singles to meet and have a great time. They do an excellent job of organizing events within specific age brackets so you're always surrounded by people in your own stage of life. And once a month, everyone comes together for mixers, making it easy to expand your circle. Lastly, Kara (the owner) and Danielle (the Marketing Director) are the heart and soul of ITL. They lead with passion, humor, and an undeniable ability to throw an amazing event. I have never been disappointed, and they always bring incredible energy and unforgettable stories. If you haven't joined ITL yet, you're missing out--so sign up ASAP!
