I love when they have board game day! I've also been on a "field trip" with them to visit the You Are Beautiful studio. They've got a ton of stuff going on, and a mostly-comfortable, if industrial atmosphere to hang out. I'm looking forward to visiting when the nice weather returns to check out their new deck and backyard area. Glad they have open events for the public so I can enjoy an interesting time with them without paying membership fees for stuff I wont use. Their "stuff" is pretty cool though! Definitely impressive woodworking area, 3D Printer, I think they mentioned an embroidery machine and vinyl cutting machine, as well as a plethora of tools I personally wouldn't know the names of. Most importantly the members there seem very friendly and welcoming and down to earth. So I'll keep coming back.

The folks in the group are eager to participate and always looking to make improvements. From woodworking, to coding, all types of tinkerers will be suited at the SSHC, and I look forward to many more years on exploration!

I couldn't think of a better club to see Dailiey as we enjoy our boat. The food is amazing. The…read moreCommodore is remarkable and it's well kept. There has been rare times when the geese poop is not power washed, but that's few and far between considering how many geese are there. Highly recommended to be a part of this club.

The north end of the fair is now the Museum of Science and Industry and this harbour borders the south end which is near a replica of the Statue of the Republic which was made famous at the World's Fair. The replica was made in 1913 and is awesome and represents America's freedom and it's pioneer spirit.

Just OK. The best part of Jimmy's is the plentiful seating. Great for gatherings and the closest…read morebar to the University of Chicago. The service was a little disorganized, but we also came on a Thursday evening so they may have been short-staffed. Cash only, but there is an ATM. Average price and average food. I'd come back if I needed a place to host a lot of people and grab drinks near campus.

Chicago could do better, such a disappointing experience!!!! Four of us attended this…read moreestablishment after a business conference still dressed in business outfits. (We live outta state)) Good: close to uni of Chicago -Bad: cash only --Bad: service is terrible ---Bad: treatment is borderline agism ----Bad: bartender very rude female from second we walked in, looking us up and down as if she is the fashion police and when asked if there's an ATM she pointed to the "cash only" sign at back!!! ------Bad: being talked to like we are in our 20s or children -----Worse: 2/4 not served by the blond older lady bartender, stating 2/4 were already drunk due to red eyes and looking drunk ---- all that was NOT true at all. --------Worst: being told no drinks or food would be given to us, she cut us off after just one beer! I've never been cut off or told by a bartender when they think wine can drink. We are business professionals not college student or novice to a drinking establishment. Chicago really let us down!

Great location, owner goes out of his way, and the space is unique in a nice way. I've hosted two…read moreof my small dancing events at the BCC House. I'm now planning on hosting a larger event. It does "feel like home" but actually it's a good space to create many different vibes. If you are looking for a event space in Bronzeville, check it out. I'm shocked that the other two reviews were so negative, the other reviews are mostly all positive. I'm glad I didn't see them before knowing about this location.
