Wrigley Field and The Last Chapter bookshop were hosting her as this was the final book within the Windy City series. The 1914 Club is bougie and absolutely stunning, did you know that it's right underneath home plate, um okay? First the team here is so amazing and friendly, we were given complimentary drinks and a buffet of hotdogs and pretzels and popcorn, I took a couple of plastic cups as souvenirs. Everyone was so accommodating, one of the signature drinks for the book release had rum and I asked to switch it with tequila and there were no issues. I don't know how I could ever go to another baseball game and not think of being at 1914 Club, such a cool experience, also their bathrooms are top notch fancy.

Omg! One of the best experience in my life! Delicious food! All you can eat and drink! Amazing…read moreseat!! highly recommend if you get a chance!

I organized a pickleball game for my date and I made a reservation for Saturday at 5-6 pm. I didn't…read moreopt for specific court reservation which is additional cost. We arrived few mins before our time and we got checked in. This place has so much stuff in addition to pickleball courts. They got nice bar and decent drinks. For the pickleball courts - I really liked the technology inclusion such as game replays, scoring and big screen showing the time. However, I felt the courts were quite close to each other - I understand space is constrained. But have courts separate for beginners would help in not disturbing neighboring players.

It's definitely catered more towards adults, but they've been incredibly friendly and understanding with my six and four-year-old that I've brought along at points. Great for a larger groups whether you're playing just for fun or with a corporate setting gathering. Additionally, they have. A stand that has snack, snacks, and energy drinks for those looking to put in a full workout.

The team at Lakeshore just got better with the addition of Katy T. to the personal training, and…read moresmall group training group, Team X. Katy specializes in mature adults...those of us who now have limitations on what we can do. For some of us, that is creaky knees, for others the legacy of sports. She leads several Team X classes (these are small group training classes) and she has been my personal trainer. Katy understands what I need to work on (the slouch an information worker develops over time, e.g.) and puts me through not only a rigorous but a thoughtful training program.

I came here for the rooftop restaurant Harvest. I had low expectations for the food. Everything we…read morehad was really good. The truffle fries were crispy, pancakes were good, the salmon bowl and burrata salad were perfect for a hot day. The salmon was perfectly cooked. The view on the rooftop is lovely and the service was great. Definitely don't miss out on the rooftop restaurant/bar.

It's a great way to satisfy my competitive side while also meeting amazing people--many of whom have become some of my closest friends. The umpires are knowledgeable, keep the games running smoothly, and always bring great banter that makes the experience even more enjoyable. I'd highly recommend S3 to anyone who's new to Chicago and looking to join a sports league, as well as anyone hoping to make new friends as an adult. It's much more than just a league--it's a fantastic community.

I've been playing indoor volleyball with this sports league for several years now. I find this…read moreleague to be a little more organized than CMSA. The games are mostly at Center on Halsted, but if there are too many teams in a season there's overflow courts at secondary locations (we've had to play at Inter-American Magnet School and Welles Park in the past). I started out not knowing anything about volleyball, but there are a handful of people willing to help you learn and build skills. Sometimes your team may be offered a mentor if you ask. AAC also offers open gym sessions on Saturday mornings (fall/winter/spring). Games are on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights. Dues and team fees are certainly lower than CMSA. There are changing lockers on the 3rd floor by the courts. The only thing that I might comment on is that the rules for this league may vary a bit from other leagues or official NCAA rules. But that it caters to player safety and the venue (there's long nets separating the courts so it mitigates interference). But I will say this - the organizers are pretty prompt in responding to and addressing any of your concerns. This league also offers Beach Volleyball on Monday nights (at Montrose Beach) - it's less crowded than the Friday night league.

There are…read morefields to play soccer, dodgeball or kickball along with a full-size basketball court, golf simulators, batting cages (nets) and a weight room. There are also probably three or four businesses operating within. I was here for HotShots kids program where the kids play multiple sports in one day. The staff have all been very friendly and helpful. There is also a parents lounge (Glass) area to do work if needed with coffee and wifi. The entrance is on the back side of this enormous building, which is a little confusing but once you figure it out, there is plenty of parking. This was an epic find for us for the hot summer.
