The views are good, but you may have a tall person sitting in front of you.

They do have good beers and other drinks, but only snack foods. Be prepared.

They bring in really talented local and non-local bands. It is a small place with a very personal feel. If you want to meet the band, you'll be able to. The cafe is cheap, the music sounds great, and it has a warm atmosphere. What's best is that they focus on social change, and act on it through the products they sell, the coffee they brew, and the bands they bring in. You must check this place out!!

This review is based on my recent visit for the Lost 80s Live concert. The concert started late…read more(more than 30 min) and between each band, there was at least a 15 min break - this led to a later night than expected (as was early seen as the crowds started to thin past the halfway point). I understand the breaks are meant to drive bar revenue; however, there was limited bar staff. Unfortunately for an indoor concert, the acoustics weren't all that great. Folks around me noted the same and partially attributed this to the quality of the sound system. They noted that the sound was much better when there was an outdoor concert this past summer. There are some definite positives to this venue- location, lots of parking, pizza available throughout the show. All in all, the venue was a good host to 6! bands/performers and it looks this might be worth a visit for an outdoor concert!

Service while there was good but watch your charges…read more I came for an event. Sat at the bar and started a tab. I ordered one cocktail and one coke and when I got my bill was surprised at how inexpensive it was. I tried to check the bill but they didn't provide an itemized bill, only the final charge. I chalked it up to suburban pricing so I tipped well. Much to my surprise they charged my card more than what I had put on the receipt (like $10 more). I contacted them via their website and haven't gotten a response. Will not order anything from here again.

Even when busy, there's plenty of room to walk around and the layout is fairly logical. If you're hungry, there's a steakhouse, bar, and deli though I've never eaten here.

My husband and I went in here just to have fun after date night! This night, I guess you could say…read morewe got lucky. I won $600 on a $1.20 spin. I was so excited, I can't even remember the game. It's easy to become overwhelmed, so I suggest to walk the floor before choosing any random game. There are servers walking around who will take your drink order and attendants are very present. The casino food isn't the best, but it will get you through the night. I ordered some sweet potato fries and they were burnt and cooked in old grease, I didn't bother to send them back because I now had a low expectation of them for food . If you want to waste some time and play for fun, try the Hollywood Casino in Aurora!

I had been here a few years ago to see The Producers with my husband, since I knew he'd love it…read more(and he did). This theatre consistently provides excellent experiences with top-tier quality shows, often drawing from local and Broadway talent alike. However crowded theatres get in downtown Chicago, and however surly their employees can be at times, the Paramount is the opposite on both counts. What a breath of fresh air! Better yet, the sightlines are terrific. Even in the very back, you have a great view of the stage, and the seats' heights are staggered enough where short people's views aren't easily blocked. Although the Paramount is quite far from where I live, so it's not a super frequent visit for me, that is not due to any lack of quality in terms of the experience or shows!

Staff were friendly and helpful, and everything from entry to seating was smooth and well-organized. I can't wait to come back for another show!

We were exploring the Aurora area over the weekend and came across this place while searching for…read moresomewhere to eat. We ordered a few appetizers and a beer to start. The garlic cheese curds were the highlight of the meal, we enjoyed them so much that we ended up ordering a second round. The wings were decent, but the menu described them as smoked, and I honestly couldn't detect any smoky flavor or aroma. My biggest complaint was the service. The waiter took our food and drink orders at the same time, but the drinks arrived much later than expected. In fact, we had already finished our appetizers by the time the beer was served. Since we visited around 2-3 PM and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, the delay was disappointing. Overall, the food was enjoyable, especially the garlic cheese curds. If I return, I'll probably order my drinks first and place my food order afterward to avoid the wait.

Look at some art while sipping on a few cocktails. The prices aren't bad especially at happy hours. Checked it out before going to see a play and it was big time ass busy. It's one of the nicer bars in town to be certain. There's all kinds of fancy cocktails such as the namesake obviously. Go at the happy hour and save a few bucks. It's $6 for any of the French 75 variations. Happy hour is Tuesdays through Fridays 4 to 6 in the evening. The Blanc is Bombay Dry Gin, Brut, lemon juice, and simple syrup. It's about $9 for appetizers. The Marinated Olives are nice to munch on. Also they have charcuterie boards. These are great for groups and parties. Has quite an interesting combination. It's open every evening with plenty of art to check out. They have a happy hour weekdays and are open later Fridays and Saturdays.

Some of my family members had such a good time at the first World Cup Watch party that they…read moreconvinced me to come check out the second one that the city of Aurora put on for Mexico vs. England and I have to say that I was really impressed overall with how well the event went. Although the game had a disappointing outcome I can easily say that the moments of community and celebration among the crowd still made this watch party one of the more joyful and memorable experiences I've had at RiverEdge. I have been to the park a couple of times in the past for concerts and festivals and although I was originally of the mind that the space didn't need much more but the new design and updates seem to be worthwhile improvements. I was really surprised that the park was in such amazing shape following the crazy storms and flooding the night before. We parked across the river and walked the pedestrian bridge to get to the venue. My family was happy to see that this time they had a checkpoint at the start of the bridge and we were able to just enter the venue when we reached the other side of the bridge instead of having to join a line again like they had to previously. We got there about two hours before the initially scheduled start time and the place was already filling up but there was still plenty of space on the lawns for setting up chairs or blankets and I liked the amount of screens available for viewing throughout the venue. The beverage pavilion did a great job of serving fast and keeping wait times short. Both times that I went to get a drink I was able to order within 5 mins and it was nice to be able to still see the action going on with the big screen above the pavilion. Although there was a heavy security presence all of the interactions I witnessed were very friendly even when it came to more rowdy fans. I even witnessed a police officer spring into action to help a small child that seemed to be having a medical emergency which was very encouraging to see with such a large crowd. My only criticisms for the event are that the bottom of the screen we were camped at was a little glitchy at times (maybe due to storm damage?) and the lines for the concessions and the food trucks were very long throughout the night. We brought in a Jersey Mike's sub so we were able to avoid the lines for the most part but I saw some people with bags of popcorn that looked good and after searching all over for where I could get some I finally saw that they were available at the Strawberries BBQ stand but was bummed when after waiting in line for 15 mins I suddenly noticed that that they had a piece of tape over the popcorn on one of the menu boards to the side of the window. I didn't feel like waiting another 15 mins to confirm so I just went back. I think some clearer signage that is easier to update and a separate line for the quicker to shell out food items would be a big help. Hopefully they iron this out. Despite this I was still happy to see that Strawberries was brought in as an official concession provider. Had I known this prior I would have rather saved my money and just gotten some of their delicious ribs. Some of my friends have mentioned that they are going to the Australian Pink Floyd show in a couple of weeks and I think this experience might have got me off the fence about joining in.
