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.

Chicken Tenders served on a school lunch tray with crayons & coloring sheet.

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!

Ridiculously over priced, $33 for a double vodka red bull, the line to get in takes forever. Don't waste your time & money here.

That's rare, especially on a busy night in Chicago. The vibe inside was everything. Music had me dancing all night--they really know how to keep the energy going with a mix of Top 40, hip hop, R&B, Latin, and a little EDM in the mix. Service was top tier. Our server checked in right away and didn't disappear after the first round. She was on point the whole night. Even the bartender was friendly, fast, and fun to talk to. You could tell the staff actually wanted to be there and made sure guests felt taken care of. And let's not ignore how good the place looks. Galeria is a whole aesthetic. Every corner is Instagram-worthy. If you love nightlife but hate the hassle, this is your spot. No drama, just a dope crowd, great music, and real service. Definitely a go-to for me now. Highly recommend.

There are plenty of other affordable nightlife areas to explore within Chicago, and Gold Coast is truly one of many. Women were allowed in for free, but the men in our group had to pay cover. The line was actually really short for a Friday, and the security was very kind. My friend's partner actually purchased bottle service and a section at the club, so I'm not too sure on what my experience would be like without it. We were comfortable, the drinks were nice, and we didn't end up purchasing anything outside of one water bottle. I will say the water isn't free, so please take note of that. The space was a bit smaller than I thought but I loved the vibes and I really liked the latin club music they were playing. On the bathroom floor, they had a telephone booth that you can take photos in, so that was nice too. The only criticism I have is that the bathrooms were not only small, but the locks on most of them didn't work, resulting in numerous people having to hold the door. That ultimately took up a lot of space within the bathroom that was already cramped. However, I will say that the women's bathroom had a little freshening up section, so that was very thoughtful on their part. Overall, I'm not too keen on returning, but it was a wonderful first time exposure to what the Gold Coast area has to offer!

But something about this place makes me want to channel my inner Doberman. Let's talk about the staff--the rudest I've encountered in Chicago, with an arrogance that makes you wonder if they moonlight as royal palace guards. * If you're not physically kissing the wall while waiting in line, prepare to be barked at. * Stand patiently in line for the bathroom? They'll glare at you like you just committed a crime. * Try to make their job easier by explaining what's in your pockets before a pat-down? That's apparently "uncooperative." * Step aside to send a quick text? Nope, you're "in the way." * Uber two minutes out in subzero temps? Out you go, even if you're not blocking a thing. This place operates on a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" policy, where even existing seems to be an offense. I'm a respectful guy, but they push my buttons in a way that makes me question my sanity. Respect is earned, and let's just say they're running a serious deficit. The cherry on top? I got elbowed in the nose, ended up with a bloody one, and as I tried to clean up in the bathroom, I was watched like I was about to commit a felony. No concern, no assistance--just judgment. I rarely come here, and every time I do, I'm reminded why that's a solid life choice. Or, in the words of Joey Swole: you need to do better.

As someone who doesn't really club at all and is looking for a place to just have some fun and…read moredance in a low pressure environment, this is the perfect place. I came here on Halloween last year, and I had fun but the music wasn't really my vibe, so I was happy when my sister wanted to celebrate her birthday here and we saw they were doing a Y2k night! All the songs they played were classics that everyone knows, and it was so much fun. The bar is pretty large and there's a lot of space to dance. They don't let it get too crowded, so it never feels unsafe or too hot. The decor inside is like a retro 1960s salon, making it great for photos. There's also a photo booth where you get 1 colored and 1 black and white strip ($7). They charge a cover around 9pm I think, so just get there before then so you won't have to pay. We got there around 8pm on a Saturday and barely anyone was there, but around 9pm more and more people started to show up. There's usually a line if you get there later because they limit the amount of people inside. Also keep in mind cocktails were $16 and there's a card minimum of $20, which basically forces you to buy two if you're using card. The drinks are super strong and they definitely do not skimp lol. The espresso martini was my favorite of the night!
