    Great music. Good drinks. Friendly diverse crowd. On street parking. Best blues bar on the south side.

It's…read morehard to tell we are attending a 'party' on a college campus, as there's no silly pranks or screeching co-eds! The Midway Plaisance is actually NOT quite completely owned by the University, which is probably why this is able to be here. On Midway P, you are literally in the the middle of the street, with long, gorgeous soccer fields around you. There are 2 stages, going east and west, with great acoustics (ok I'm not an expert). There are food trucks and beverages, but you can bring your own; same with chairs too. It starts early afternoon and goes until 9 or 10 at night, but it is NOT wall to wall music, as there are other venues (indoor) that need attention too. The artists may be up and comers or veterans, maybe not whom you would see in Jazz Review. Note: The big bands are on the outside stages, whereas the the 'small' groups (trios, quartets, soloists) are in the small indoor areas (churches, art centers at the U of C, even Hyde Park Bank!). There are shuttle buses that can take you to vendors, and a down and upsides are that one can't stay in the same venue for too long. On a nice day when strolling is fun, with NO limited mobility, that's a good activity. The downside to late Sept/early fall is cool weather, rain and HORNETS!

Every Friday at the Quarry, there's, jazz and beautiful food and drinks for grown folks. LOL We ate "the Nuggets of Knowledge" too fast to take photos, just one of the amazing dishes created by The Bald-Head Chef and music by @allthesaxyouwant on IG. The place is a whole vibe.

Music is diverse and perfect level to chat but still vibe. This place does southern cuisine right. Portions size and pricing is perfect. Cocktails are really good and honestly charge more. Food: Herbed Shrimp & toast: 20/10 there's a hint of spice but loves just get it! Get it. It reminds me of the lobster served at Hampton Social with a kick. Smash burger & fries: There was an abundance of fries and I loved that. The burger was so good I didn't mind it was American cheese. The burger was amazing 20/10 Catfish is so amazing. Flaky and perfectly crispy. Not salty. Just perfect. Get it. Green beans: 20/10 turkey meat was top tier Mac n cheese: is not my favorite but the texture, cheese, and salty flavor was perfect. The dish is a bit sweet but customers love it so you may too. 8/10 Drinks: 20/10 The Park Bulldog, this feature a mini corona bottle and it's really good. I could finish bc I drove lmao. Blueberry Mojito I can say this was good, a bit heavy of the syrup, but outside of that I'd get it again. Overall had enough to take home the family and everyone smashed before I snack. I'm quite upset but it's fine. I will be back to get more soon! I heard brunch is fabulous so I'm coming in!

The owner is polite and seeks to ensure that all visitors feel safe and wants them to enjoy the venue!! He never turns anyone away if requesting to greet him for a brief introduction when I'm there. I've produced events here and exposed inner city youth to this luxury experience that they may have never had if my team and I hadn't reached out. I expect my guests and business clients will continue to take interest in renting the Grand Ballroom Chicago as executed in the past few years. The list of satisfactory referrals is growing!! #1stladyrebasoul

    We've been hosting monthly events here for the past two years for a large crowd. I'm not sure when…read morethe new owner/management took over, but he's always been accommodating. It's a large beautiful (I would like to say historic) venue that has a large dance floor, plenty of seating, huge bar, stage where Live Music or DJ can perform, private dressing room with a small bathroom, and a full-size commercial kitchen to rent if you want to provide food or bring in a caterer. There is a parking lot in the back, as well as across the street, and street parking. The owner has security patrolling the parking lots the entire night. Our guests have never had a problem. They only provide rental space, bartenders, and a few servers/waitresses, you have to provide/hire your own vendors (caterers, DJ, decorations, etc.). In being an Event Planner for the past 30+ years from Corporate to Community events, as with all Service-based businesses, you're going to always have a rotating door when it comes to customer service. It's part of the game. It's hard to find good help these days. My personal experience, as well as my experience in attending other events hosted there, has always been great. I know other event promoters who have also been hosting their events here for awhile, so if it was that bad, we wouldn't still be here. The owner does an excellent job in doing his best to stay on top of it. So when you read other poor reviews, create your own opinion based on your own experience like we did. Otherwise you just might miss out on a GREAT experience!
