$6 short pour in a very dirty glass.
Kyna E.

Looking to throw an event for a bunch of people you hate?? Then my friend, you have found the right venue! The parking lot is so riddled with potholes and dig outs that your guests will certainly need to call road side assistance or go for it and change their own flat tire in their fancy event affaire. Fine wine and spirits??? Definitely not! 4 day old wine in dirty glasses at $6 a pop! (See image attached) Don't even think about asking for that extra oz! Want the whole place to smell like over cooked burgers so your guest leave smelling worse than an indoor fish fry?? You have found your spot!! Godspeed. This place sucks.

Punch table that Anna made for us!

What can I say, I had both my wedding shower here and I loved it so much that I came back and did my baby shower here! Anna did such an amazing job bringing my vision to life and helped me through every step of the way. I was so pleased with some of the new updates they had done to the place as well! Always bringing a fresh new look with the new carpets! I would recommend this place, they gIve so much at such a reasonable price!

See all

The outdorr grounds has a large variety of flowerbeds, a pavilion, a butterfly garden, and a wooden gazebo. I have been to several events hosted by the park district or private. This time we were there for the Native Plant sale . The sale took place in the outdoor pavilion . The conservatory's greenhouse staff where available to answer questions. All the plants were neonictinoid-free, , making them 100% safe for local pollinators and birds. Plants were 3 for $15 . The proceeds from the plant sale go directly toward supporting the Mt. Prospect Park District's environmental initiatives and educational programming

Walked all over this park on a sunny Sunday morning with my sister!…read more This place is around 10-15 minutes away from my house and I know people who've been to it, but I never got the chance to check it out! It's a small, quaint park perfect for walking with a circular path along the park. There's 2 jungle gym parks for kids across the field, as well! My sister and I did countless loops since this park is a bit on the smaller side. The parking situation is great, too - there's plenty of parking available by the conservatory and the park. The little conservatory was closed when we came, but I definitely wanna come back and check it out! The park's trail goes right by it. There's also a church right next to it, so I saw cute old couples and families with kids still in their church clothes walking around and playing at the park. I'd definitely come back here for a picnic at the park, a nice stroll, or to check out the conservatory!

Metropolis Ballroom - Ceremony

Metropolis Ballroom

I had the pleasure of getting married at the Metropolis Ballroom. My experience for the whole event…read morewas very positive. Here is my breakdown of my experience with The Metropolis Ballroom: Planner Extraordinaire - Lauren Lauren is a very friendly and professional Planner. She is very organized and open when getting in contact with her. She gave us the feeling that everything would be taken care of which it was. She helped us go through the steps also helped us organize on how the procession would occur during our special day. Due to some circumstances, she was unable to see the culmination of her work with us but she made sure we were taken care of for the big day. Venue The Metropolis Ballroom venue makes up the whole 2nd floor of the building. They have elevator access to the 2nd floor. There is a bridal suite which as access to the balcony. There is an axillary room across the bridal suite which the cocktail hour is help. There are plenty of room along with comfortable seating areas. The main reception hall has a nice open space with a high ceiling, for to which we had 12 tables and enough room for a dance floor. The balcony is also accessible from the main reception area and allows you to enjoy part of downtown Arlington Heights where a fountain is visible and if you have your wedding at a certain time, you can have an appearance of Santa Claus in in the grassy area across the way. The staff had placed some outdoor activities if we chose to go out (i.e. cornhole). they had some They also had some tables and lighting outside in case they guest would like to step out and enjoy the great weather we had during our wedding. Staff The Metropolis Ballroom has a wonderful staff that made our wedding day very special. Even though Lauren was unable to be at the wedding, we felt we were very taken care of from the whole staff. Kenny was really helpful in coordinating with everyone. He was also the go to person for the head table whenever we needed anything. The wait staff is really extraordinary. I really have to tip my hat off to all of them. Each were very friendly and also attentive. The bartender was friendly and did a great job keeping the party going. Everyone made us feel welcomed. The kitchen did a wonderful job with the food for our wedding. I even had a lot of people comment on how they really enjoyed the food. To me, the preparation and taste was perfect. We had some people who had some dietary issues which they did accommodated for. The kids seem to really enjoy the food that they got, even giving some of the adults at their table jealous. Food You do have different options on how to proceed with how the food come out. We choose to have each person have a plated service compared to a buffet style reception. I am going to bring some highlights of the food we got. Roasted tomato soup chaser - a very well done soup accompanied with a mini grilled cheese. Chicken breast Champagne - recommended as one of the more popular dishes and there is a reason why. The chicken is moist and accompanied with a wonderful sauce which goes with a lot of the sides. Carrot Cake - a very well done carrot cake. The cake itself is moist and the frosting was perfectly balanced. It is one of my favorite carrot cakes I have eaten. All of the other food we got were delicious also, but I am unable to go through them all due to the limit on what I can type. Overall My experience was extraordinary. To me the whole company did a wonderful job in making my wedding reception special. From the planning to the actual event was a great experience. Though I have not attended any other events at the Metropolis Ballroom, I would recommend planning there for special occasions. With the care and details they worked with us during our special day, it was a pleasure working with them.

I was excited to support the local high school's madrigal performance--they were a 5 star act--but the supporting dinner around it was not what I imagined from the Metropolis. 1st service was mulled cider and 2 people at our table were missed so my boyfriend had to flag someone down to get the last 2 mugs filled. (The cider itself was delicious!) The tomato soup and bread course was good, although the soups were served at the same table at varying temperatures. I ordered the chicken for our party of 4 and that was pretty good. I did hear a high school student at the head table ask his parents if they could stop at Culver's on the way home because his chicken was not cooked. The dessert was pretty good, although I do not remember what it is by now. The soft drinks were grab and go cans laid out on the bar over ice. I had no problem with that choice, it was just a little unclear at first if the cans were included with our ticket or not. The coat check staff was quick and efficient. As someone who is not married yet, I had always thought about the Metropolis Ballroom as a possible venue, but after my latest experience, I would probably not consider them in the future.

In the world of breweries, this is as good as it gets! You want it to be casual, approachable, and…read morefriendly. CHECK! You want it to be open when you want to visit. They have a daytime area (The Steeple) and a nighttime area (The Biergarten). One is air conditioned / fully indoor while the other is more outdoor, production area vibes. CHECK! Many breweries aren't big enough to offer food. Not an issue here! They have a nice menu and I really liked the BBQ chicken flatbread (perfect size for two). They have close to two dozen beers, seltzers, etc. and out of the 10 we had, they were all pretty darn good. The maibock was our favorite! Be sure to give yourself plenty of time here, you won't want it to be a quick visit. Live music, trivia, etc. offered - check their socials for more info. Thanks to Amanda and Corey for a great reintroduction to Church Street after not visiting for a few years! We can't wait to come back and try more from your beer and food menus. P.S. Yelp found a bunch of photos from our last visit before this one...circa 2019! Holy Water isn't green anymore...

Happy New Year 2026! My first review of this year. Cheers!…read more Church Street is a spacious, but intimate feeling brewery with a relaxed vibe, tucked away in an Industrial area of Itasca. The on-site parking lot is quite small, but other business lots and street parking is available nearby, especially during events. I tried a sample of their light pilsner and purchased a 12 ounce prickly pear sour. It had a unique flavor to it and wasn't too tart or sour, as I find some to be. I would like to return and try the cranberry sour and German, dry pilsner. Perhaps after "Dry January!" (Hello Mocktails). I did not order any food but I do plan to return and would like to try some of their menu items. I enjoyed sitting at the bar with others and our server was delightful. I have also had their wheat beers which are tasty. Inside the brewery there is a cozy feel and the singing cook in the kitchen was fun to listen to, as he had a nice voice. Check out their fun fan merch for sale too. Happy "Brew Year" all!

There is plenty of space to run around and it doesn't feel crammed even when they are hosting a birthday party like one today. Check in was easy and the punch card offers a good deal at $100 for 4 weekday and 2 weekend punches. I also scored a $5 discount for becoming a member and another $5 by getting a coupon their website and that made it totally worth it. There is good food selection of pizza, hot dogs, chicken nuggets , popcorn, ice cream and slushies but we don't eat today so I can't comment on quality and taste but hope to be back soon.

We were a bit far from home and our kid was getting restless, so I looked up nearby indoor playgrounds and ended up here. It was $25 since it was a weekend until they closed at 6pm. Our kiddo had a fun time! It's not as gargantuan as some other playgrounds, but they have a baby and toddler area, and it's multi-story so there's a lot of climbing and sliding. They also have an area with a bunch of riding vehicles, and most fun of all was the ball room. I thought a place called ball factory would have more...balls? But the ball room is basically a room with air cannons that let you load and shoot these soft play balls around the room. It's surprisingly pretty fun even for the adults to fire off a few rounds. And as someone who has been to a few of these indoor playgrounds, I'm grateful you don't have to buy their proprietary socks. Like I went to one place that wanted grippy socks - and we had grippy socks, but they weren't theirs! Some places need better insurance policies I guess, so I'm glad the Ball Factory isn't insanely strict. What's also nice is there's a Polish grocery next door, so I grabbed a few items while my wife stayed here. Our only gripe is there could be more seating in the play area for us parents to catch up on our phones, but at least the food area has a lot of space. And kids even get a free ball on the way out! Overall I think we'll come back, but we'll be sure to eat lunch before and dinner after since outside food isn't allowed.
