    I've filed a report with The Illinois Liquor Control Act, but this establishment NEEDS to be investigated for the safety of patrons coming to this bar. There is a complete abuse of power here. It's so disheartening to come on here and see everyone's reviews of a similar experience. If I were to give them a -1000 I would. Don't waste your time at this place. My family was here for a wedding and one of the security bumped into our family member and kicked him out. We hadn't been there more than 5 minutes after each paying a $20 cover. He threw one of our members down the stairs. He then proceeded to punch two of our family members in the face. Another bouncer told one of our female members he would punch them in the face too. The manager of the bar proceeded to laugh in our face and didn't even take the time to de-escalate the situation as management should. We filed a police report. Unless you want to get physically and verbally assaulted I would not recommend going here!

    Three bouncers that denied entrance to my group and I because we were black and Latino. Had us outside for over 30 min for nothing.

    By far one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a bar and this was my first time here. First, my group and I were told $20 for entry when no else was being charged before or after. Second, they wouldn't allow us to enter changing the reason each time (too crowded, reservations needed, someone must leave for one to enter, etc.). However, those that came after us were allowed in. Everyone in my group is black or Latino and it became obvious why we weren't being let in after we'd been waiting patiently for close to thirty minutes. They started to call us "belligerent" when some showed they were upset and voiced the racism being displayed. This was my first and last time here. I won't be giving money to a business that refuses proper treatment because my skin is darker. Just disappointed because I always heard good things about this place. Then I experience it and I'm appalled by how my group was handled. I'm not sure if I'm more hurt by knowing I was discriminated against because of my skin or disappointed because somewhere I thought was great and excited to finally experience denied me of that. I made a yelp just so I could post a review. That should say a lot alone.

    I am very torn writing this review but I'm just going to be real. Word on the street is this is the new "IT" spot w/ famous celebrity sightings such as: Chance the Rapper being a regular, Scottie Pippen rolling through (how old is that guy now anyway & why is he still clubbing), and Kehlani was in attendance the night before we decided to check this place out. Since January the social media marketing hype has been full throttle. All gravel Spot Hero parking lot is right next door and immediately my first impression of the building was negative bc the parking lot was wider than the actual club. Sure enough we stepped inside and it had a super narrow layout. Arriving early we decided to order food and if you decide to do the same I would advise to play it safe and stick with the burger. We had over priced scrawny chicken tenders and the saddest adult Lunchables called Boxables that was meant to be a nostalgic charcuterie. This rendition couldn't get anymore terrible. The meats & cheeses in the sectional container were low grade & tasteless. Admitting, one of the worst restaurant items I've ever eaten My friend ordered two different juice box flavors: unicorn & lime cucumber. The unicorn was terrible not to mention the straw (they re-use & wash) still had lipstick stains on it. She sent it back and asked for another lime cucumber but this time, straw-less. They do let you keep the juice boxes but I think it's upon request. Those left over are recycled. Next we maneuvered upstairs. We were wearing light leather jackets so it wasn't mandatory to put them in coat check. However, I highly advise you check them in anyway bc it gets hot & sweaty. Our night turned around for the better bc to my surprise I ran into a long time friend who happens to be security here. He was kind enough to let us chill in members club. This was super helpful and made all the difference in the world bc the club packed out to capacity. Totally grateful for this and this portion of the night was 4 star worthy. Security also deserves 4 stars bc they were watching the crowd and keeping things in order. Members Club entrance is located in the rear, take another flight up to a balcony w/ 3 sectional seating areas & DJ booth that over looks the crowd. You can pay a yearly members fee and roll through whenever you like with all the usual bottle service amenities. I don't remember what that fee is. Not to be mistaken, VIP tables are located on the club level along the walls. Instead of using the traditional torch sparklers for bottle service light sabers are used, inflatable birthday cakes, and light up flowers. Safe, tech-y, futuristic. Club light display & ambiance was really fun. Music was great. The DJ played a wide variety of music & the crowd seemed more than happy. Standard 20 Something's crowd w/ scattered older aged men. The typical scene. Overall, the biggest cons were the food & narrow layout. If we didn't have the opportunity in members club, I probably wouldn't be a happy camper chillin without a table on the main floor. We left around 1 or 2 am (daylight savings time) and the line was still a block long. The club is open until 4 am & people were determined to wait for a chance at entry. I will say, every server we had was excellent and had kind demeanor. Special shout to my friend. Thanks again for all you did for us that night!

    See all

At 12:50 AM, we were suddenly told there was a strict 2-hour limit, something never communicated upfront. Not by the person we booked with, not by the door guy when we arrived, not by the employee that walked us to our table, and not by the girl who took our bottles order. When we asked for proof, staff couldn't provide any and instead blamed the promoter, taking zero accountability. I've never experienced a "time limit" for bottle service anywhere, not even Las Vegas where bottle service is such a big part of the nightlife, so this was especially frustrating. After us pushing back on the "time limit", staff kept passing by our table checking how much of the bottles we had left, which made the experience feel rushed and uncomfortable. The service overall was disappointing, and our server even appeared to be intoxicated so at least she had a good time. We specifically chose this club to see DJ Orma (Bad Bunny's DJ), whose set didn't even start until 2:00 AM. Despite that, the general manager and busboy came and cleared out our section around that time while we weren't even finished. I believe it was a made-up policy to turn tables and maximize profit for the night. They are probably used to people just saying yes and not giving push back. At one point I spoke to the Owner who was apologetic so I'll give him that but between the lack of transparency, poor communication, and dismissive attitudes from everyone we interacted with, this was an extremely disappointing experience. For the price point and claiming to an "upscale" nightlife establishment, this level of service is completely unacceptable. Don't waste your time or money. There are so many other good nightlife options in Chicago that won't ruin your experience.

This place got VERY crowded, with not a lot of dancers on the dance floor. I was disappointed there was no coat check, and a $20 minimum for card use wasn't so great when I don't drink personally. It also felt impossible to get drinks (maybe I didn't push people enough I suppose), which was a bit frustrating. Not going to blame the bartenders when the entire place is extremely full.

We started with dinner at Good Funk (sooo good) and then walked over to Beauty Bar. We joined the line of women waiting to get in when I remarked that I don't really wait in line these days- especially in 20 degrees! My friend suggested we go up to the bouncer and talk our way in as we used to in the good old days, but I looked around and noticed we were 20 years older than everyone else...so figured that wouldn't work! Regardless it was worth a shot so we went up the bouncer and tried to talk our way in...and denied! Finally enough people left the bar that they let us in to crowds and crowds of women. We paid the the cover fee of $15 and I was delighted to see that in 2026 you could pay bars with apple pay! I'll admit this wasn't really my scene these days, but we made the best of it and started dancing away. The music was really great! My friend warned me that the best drinks were served in cans so I ordered a high noon. At one point my friend and I had to use the restroom so we pushed our way thru the hundreds of sweaty women. Plus the 3 men who showed up after an epic beads game. Our biggest complaint was that there was nowhere to hang our purse in the bathroom, which i'm sure the rest of the under 28 crowd wasn't worried about. At midnight our carriage (aka party bus) arrived so it was time to leave Beauty Bar. I can't say I was sad, but it was definitely an experience and always fun to go dancing at a bar every decade or so these days. And, most importantly, the bday gal had a blast!
