“I had a pretty good stay at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chicago West – O’Hare Area by IHG. The hotel was clean, the room was comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I also appreciated the convenient location, especially for getting around the O’Hare area. We were only 15 mins away from rental company/airport. I loved the microwave and refrigerator. Bed was super comfortable.
There were a few minor things that could have been better, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5, but overall it was a pleasant stay and I would consider staying here again. Shower pressure could have stronger and a few hairs in tub.”
“My granddaughter and I got to share a delightful experience, painting and interacting with the macaw who visited the studio. We also got to observe and learn about other birds from the naturalist who adopted them all. Everything was so well planned and ran smoothly. Lynn, the painting instructor, was very patient and encouraging. The studio was bright, colorful, and comfortable. The owner was present and often involved. Everyone went out of their way to make it a great experience.”
“I love the banquet hall very beautiful place and Atmosphere this is a great place to Rent and have a nice Private Party u have to Go and Check this place out ! DJ Baby Funk Roy from Chicago ???”
“Empress Banquets is truly one of the best venues for a wedding or any special event. The food is consistently outstanding, the pricing offers exceptional value, and the staff’s attention to every detail is second to none. The venue is beautifully decorated, modern, and impeccably maintained, creating the perfect atmosphere for any celebration. From start to finish, the experience is seamless and memorable. I cannot recommend Empress Banquets highly enough”
“Took my granddaughter there for a birthday party it was a nice place even though their arcade area was very small and it was limited games but otherwise they enjoyed themselves”
“We are so grateful to have had our wedding at the Nineteenth Century Charitable Association (NCCA)! Woody and his team were wonderful to work with - from first touring the venue to clean-up the morning after. Set in the beautiful neighborhood of Oak Park, the NCCA is surrounded by community parks and historic homes by Frank Loyd Wright. We also had easy access to the local hotel to host our guests overnight. This wedding venue is reasonably priced with true historic charm. The food and beverages were excellent. We held our ceremony/cocktail hour on the first floor and reception on the second floor, comfortably accommodating our guest count of 175 people. Woody is responsive and flexible. He is willing to support creative endeavors to make your wedding feel original. We feel so fortunate to have found the NCCA to host our wedding - we would absolutely recommend it to you!”
“A great place for a picnic! There are portapotties, lots of parking, and plenty of picnic tables. There’s some nice trails close by to hike. Just be aware that you must leave by sunset!! My friends and I were slapped with some hefty tickets because we didn’t know this rule!”
“Had a wonderful time with my 4 year old, car-loving boy! The owner was very knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic.
I cannot wait to visit and experience again, this time with my Dad, who grew up playing with these!!!!!
Thank you, Mike !”
“We hosted our fundraiser at the Carlisle this year and it was an outstanding experience. From the initial meeting with Laura to every email, planning session and day of assistance, this venue and its staff far exceeded our expectations. Laura is a true professional and helped make our event that much more special. Our guests loved the food, ambiance, and location of this venue. We look forward to hosting our future events at the Carlisle.”
“If you know, you KNOW about the Berwyn Eagles Club.
This place isn’t just a venue — it’s history, it’s community, it’s the kind of spot where memories stack up over decades. I’ve been coming here for 20+ years, and there’s nothing quite like walking through those doors and feeling the energy of everything that’s happened inside.
And for wrestling fans? This place was legendary.
Watching AAW Wrestling shows here was something special. The crowd right on top of the action, the noise, the chants — it felt like you were part of the show, not just watching it. Absolute chaos in the best possible way.
And then… last night.
Being there to see Seth Rollins — yeah, Seth Freakin Rollins — in a place like this? Unreal. One of those moments where you just stop and think, “This is why we come to shows.” The kind of memory that sticks with you forever.
Which makes it even harder to hear that shows might not be coming back here.
That one hurts.
Because places like the Berwyn Eagles Club aren’t just buildings — they’re part of the fabric of the community. Generations of fans, decades of events, and countless unforgettable nights. Losing wrestling here doesn’t just mean losing a venue… it means losing a piece of something bigger.
We need to find a way to bring the shows back. Future fans deserve to experience what we’ve had for years. The energy, the passion, the pure magic of a packed house on wrestling night.
This place has given us so much over the last 20+ years — it deserves to keep doing that for the next 20.
Pro tip: If you ever had the chance to catch a show here, you already know. And if there’s any way to bring it back… we should make it happen. 🦅💥”
“not very accessable. as a mobility aid user I noticed how steep any of the wheelchair ramps were immediately, and had to ask staff for assistance more than once.”
“I really enjoy taking evening walks here in their walking path. Plenty of families here with their kids playing or participating in their favorite sport. In the summer time they have music in the park with live bands playing today’s hits or old time favorites. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the music.”
“I have Catered about 10 or more events here, including our old Mayor (Lori Lightfoot) Beautiful event space 10 out of 10 I recommend. The Owner is very professional, kind, and family oriented.”
“I was there for a friend's birthday celebration. It was an exquisite event. The space spoke of her impeccable taste, and the food on the menu was scrumptious. Check out the pics and hopefully the video.

“We recently held a post funeral dinner service at Elmcrest Banquets, and I cannot say enough about the professionalism and compassion of the entire staff. The space was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully arranged to create a warm and comforting atmosphere for my family and my guests. They have two parking lots to handle overflow of guests. The food was beautifully presented, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommend.”
“Katherine Legge Memorial Lodge is a very nice place. The Harold Zook house and studio next to it have great architectural significance. You can't go in the house, but the outside is very impressive.”

“We had my dad's celebration of life at this remodeled Post. Everyone who operates this place was a pleasure. Shout out to Bruce & Ophelia! I highly recommend this place for an event. The hall was very clean with a full bar inside. Also, they support our veterans. I wouldn't hesitate to have another event here!”

“One of my very favorite hotel. Great location, room and staff, from hotel shuttle driver, front desk, restaurant and housekeeping. I’m sad when I’m in town and they’re sold out which happens quite often. I love staying at this hotel.”
“Very nice banquet hall. It's not the largest, but it fit our party of 180 with some room to spare. The food was delicious and service was really good. The atmosphere was beautiful. Recommended.”
“We were told they only take drinks from the west side of the bar. They service is bad, they don't offer to help. They ran out of the liquor we were drinking. The.waitress”
“Such a fun little gem, especially for families with young kids! The unlimited indoor carousel rides were definitely the star of the visit and made everything feel extra special. It’s a cute, charming place where little ones can really enjoy themselves. We loved that the carousel rides were indoors too, which made it even more convenient and fun. Just a friendly heads-up: they close at 2 PM, so it’s best to come early to make the most of your visit. Definitely a sweet little spot for family fun!”
“Very cool preserve.
The trail provides good views of the lake and starts off as a pretty typical trail, until you reach a grass field with the Peabody Estate in view. You're then free to walk the grounds of the estate and the nearby chapel.
The grounds, estate, and chapel are beautiful and the area is quiet and serene.”
“Tessarae is such a warm, inviting place full of the kindest people. We had my daughter's birthday party there and it was a great experience. The environment was very inviting and comfortable, our group of teens had a really fun time doing a painting lesson together. We're looking forward to returning for painting lessons and art anytime in the future!”
“Great place to stay for little get away! James the valet was incredible. He was so kind and funny and gave great suggestions for restaurants to try. He's great at his job and we truly appreciated him!”
“This place seemed nice for the kids. Not too big and some of the staff seemed a little mean and non approachable but I think it’s still a cool place for kids to come and have fun. ?”
“Kenny and Jeanette at The Fairway in Niles (Howard Street Inn) were unbelievably helpful while planning and hosting my mom’s funeral luncheon. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The space was beautiful and just the right size — comfortable, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up.
The staff was kind, attentive, and professional, and the food and service were excellent. It truly felt like a celebration of my mom’s life surrounded by family and friends. I can’t thank Kenny, Jeanette, and the entire team enough for their compassion and care during such an emotional time. Highly recommend!”
“I dont know if this is what all Lucky strike locations are like, but the customer service was excellent!! Everyone was SOOOO nice. We havent bowled in years, but we are going to again soon after the wonderful experience we had at the woodridge location!”
“We’ve been members of Big for several years and have hosted two birthday parties with them. Our experience has always been very positive. The coaches are top notch. Especially coach Mo with our 3 year old. Parties are easy and the kids always have a blast.”
“We had a small gathering here at the gallery for an event unrelated to the usual art happenings in the gallery. This is space that serves for community and creativity. The exhibitions are vibrant. The gallery staff and art itself engage the patrons at every event.”
“I booked my 40th birthday party at the Party Spot. I have absolutely zero regrets except I can’t rewind time. Nadia was so hands on and left me worry free. Her customer service was impeccable and absolutely amazing. Her communication was very professional and she gave her all. Nick was also very helpful and a great bartender. I can’t wait to book another event with her! She delivers!! Everyone is saying my party was the party of the century!! Thank you Nadia and Nick ?”
