There were a lot of parking attendants in the lot and security staff when we got there. The inside of the theater has stairs to the second floor / balcony area and stalls for drinks and food. We only purchased two water bottles $17 total which is hefty but you're not allowed to bring in food or drinks. There were only drinking fountains but no water bottles filling stations. The theater itself does not have enough air conditioning for the size so it was quite humid and hot in the space especially for an almost sold out show. The area outside the theater does have air conditioning. There's only two small elevators and the outside theater space is all carpeting. The seats are relatively small but did have good cushioning. We appreciated the balcony seats because even if you're seated behind taller people you can still have great view of the stage. If you want to be close to center view in the balcony, book in section 206 in seats 8-10. We waited a bit after the show to avoid the crush of people leaving the venue which worked out well. We had parked near the stage entrance to get a glimpse of the performers leaving and then could leave right after.

I haven't been to the Rosemont Theater in forever, but I do recall it always being a positive experience. Parking?: Decently priced and close to the entrance Security?: Present enough to make you feel safe. The process for checking bags and being [metal detector] wanded was smooth. Merch?: Conveniently located in the main lobby, well displayed, and smooth to make a purchase. I had eaten dinner prior to arriving, but the concession stand looked to have decently priced snacks. The theater looks a little um, retro(?), but it was a gift to be in a beautiful theatre over a giant sports stadium. The sound quality was great, the seats were comfortable, and I could see Charlie very well, even if I chose to sit during a slower song due to the staggered, stadium seating. Traffic on the way there was a little slow due to a concert at Allstate Arena, the Chicago Dogs home opener, and Anime Central, but that was on me to be responsible and leave at an appropriate time. I had looked up the set list on SetlistFM so I knew there was no encore. As soon as that last note of "Changes" rang out into the air, I was a cloud of myself as I briskly walked to the car to get out of the parking lot, haha. What a joy to enjoy a concert and be back on my own driveway in 23 minutes!

This annual event has become a tradition with me. It's an autograph and entertainment memorabilia…read moreshow that features a mix of celebrities from the worlds of TV, movies, and music. Each year, there is always been at least two or three people there who I've always wanted to meet in person. The stars charge for their autographs which they write on photos they have with them. People can also bring their own camera and take a photo with their favorite stars (there is a charge for that, too). However, one is able to shake hands with the stars and just say 'hi' without paying for an autograph or buying any merchandise, such as books or CDs, that the stars may also be selling. It's a pleasant way to spend a day.

It's conveniently located in this area and is surrounded by countless hotels, additional shopping complexes, movie theater and other restaurants. There is a large activity green area in the center an it surrounded by spots like Kings Bowl, Zanies Comedy Club, Sugar Factory, Harley Davidson and a few other spots. As noted in other reviews, I can't tell the target demographic for this "park". And honestly there may not be one, but on the surface, not sure who they created it for. We sat at the benches for a while after having lunch at Fat Rosie's and then popping into the dispensary. There is a large multi-level parking garage dedicated to the park. It's a pay lot, but super convenient. Overall, solid complex offering a few options and the ability to be outside. 3.5 stars for me, but since we don't have half stars, 4 it is.

While visiting Chicago for a professional training, I discovered the best little spot. Let me get…read morethis name right: Parkway Bank Park Entertainment District. Wow, that's a mouthful. I can't help wonder if locals have a nickname for it? It is right across from O'Hare airport, so maybe locals mostly stay away. But whether you happen to live near by or just in town for the weekend, this entertainment district is a one-stop-shop for all your unwinding needs. My training was at Crowne Plaza hotel where I was always lodging, so this oasis of entertainment was delightfully within easy walking distance. Once here, you'll find a plethora of restaurants and other activities ("Would you say I have a plethora of piñatas?"). A quick rundown of some of the current restaurants located around the district's circle: Fat Rosie's Taco and Tequila Bar The Sugar factory (milkshakes, sundaes and food items) Bub City BBQ Adobe Gilas Tex Mex Saltwater Coastal Grill Crust Brewing Fogo de Chao Brazilian Strakhouse As for entertainment: Joe's Live for live music and concerts King's Dining & Entertainment (bowling, pool tables and food) An AMC Dine-in theatre Pete's Dueling Piano Bar iFLY indoor skydiving And a nice little dispensary for all of your out-of-state needs when you hail from Indiana! (That little disposable pen "wrote" some great stories for both me and a friend! Sometimes, you just need to lie there, listen to music and loose track of the time!) One of the coolest things about this entertainment district is this faux-grass field right in the middle that makes the circle. People were just hanging out and talking and listening to music and (I think) drinking. (I'm not sure if public drinking is allowed there, so don't hold me to it. But I am pretty sure that was the vibe.) Kids were running and playing on the artificial turf and having a great time. I feel like this field is used for organized sports and activities, but it was open for the public to use on that particular evening. If you find yourself in the Rosemont area of Chicago or staying near O'Hare, swing by the (hold on, and let me get this straight) Parkway Bank Park Entertainment District. There is something for everyone at all price points!

I love mysteries and I enjoy guessing along. Some of the actors were kind of weak (and quiet) I'm sure they were talented enough but didn't know how to work with a room full of dining patrons as opposed to a traditional audience. There were some that were great. The accordion player, the G-man at the end, and the Louie kid who was really sweating to keep the energy up...he was the only one who had my attention the full time. I was having a pretty good time by the end of the show...but then the show didn't end. The director got ahold of the microphone (he actually had it from the beginning but at first he used sparingly...thankfully) and just talked and talked about nothing. My favorite part is when he grabbed his glass (which took about two minutes) to read straight out of the program. It was awful. Hopefully this was an opening night idea and will be quickly dropped because by the end of it, this speeches by the director and the producer almost completely ruined the work of the actors.

I agree with the first poster…read more Great food, Great show (I loved Louie and Roberto!), and the MC needed to shut up. Honestly, the crowd is loud so they need somebody on the mic. I wish the whole cast was miked. If it is just one person then make it somebody talented and funny. I still really liked the mystery though. I couldn't even guess the answer.

I feel the sound could be better, but I know that's subjective and could be due to many variables. Anyway, check this place out! I think you'll like it.

When you walk in there is a bar and some tables but through the double doors, you'll find a 2nd bar with a speakeasy feel. When we checked in, we were assigned our tables. We ordered drinks before hand and the drinks were brought to our tables. We also ordered the pimento cheese and crackers. We snacked on the crackers most of the show as there was quite a bit of pimento in the bowl. The show was great and was broken into 2 parts. There were a lot of great metaphors along with it being a very interactive show with the crowd. Many of the tricks and magic left us in complete awe. We can't wait to come back and see future shows!

It's adjacent to the…read morePrairie Lakes Community Center and I presume there's a connecting interior hallway between the two. The theatre is part of the Des Plaines Park District and what a great asset for the city. There are a handful of organizations that rent space for their productions here I think, amongst them Big Noise Theatre, which I learned about at a Park Ridge summer event and that's how I found out there's a great black-box theatre in the suburbs. They've hosted various arts companies, including dance and opera. They're also available for rent by other parties as well. Prairie Lakes has just under 300 seats and the sight lines are good; I don't think there are any limited view seats in the place. Seats were very comfortable too. Parking is ample, given its location, and free.

It was a most delightful play, and this is when I learned that the Big Noise Theatre company rents space from the Prairie Lakes Community Theatre for their productions. I guess some previous reviews allude to this arrangement, but I never paid attention until today on what "theatre name" was appropriate here. In any event, we're now 2 for 2 on 5 star outings at this venue.

We had to go all the way down to the hotel bar which is not handy at all. The seating was so tight in the Montrose Room you could barely get around, especially with no coat check. The sound system was not good. The Drummer had 7 mics on him and he was way too loud. You could barely hear the younger keyboard guy (forgot his name), even Althea Rene had to ask for him to be turned up. It has been many years since we were last at the Montrose Room and saw Norman Brown perform. Things were so much better back then and worth the tix price. Please ditch those tv tray type tables that tip easily with something better to put your drink on. You can do better! As to not just complain, we did enjoy the musicians and overall we enjoyed their music. Plus it was fun to dress up and go out to hear live music for New Year's Eve. However, to pay good money for the tix and pay a lot for parking, just to be left disappointed saddened us. Not enough effort was put into the whole experience.

A bonafide live music venue outside the city limits? Believe it!…read more I have the feeling the luxe Montrose Room won't be a well-kept suburban secret for much longer. Housed in the seriously chic InterContinental hotel, this intimate music venue boasts ringside cabaret seating and killer acoustics. It's obvious they poured a large investment in making sure the sound is top-notch! Right outside the doors leading into the Montrose Room is the Ice Bar. The specialty cocktails are made with some of my favorite things: St-Germain, champagne floats, passion fruit juice, and lychee vodka among other sexy ingredients. For the man in your life? Some stellar whisky, bourbon and cognac selections. Tip: Don't forget to have your parking validated by a bartender on the way out and you'll only pay $5. And, be sure to take a stroll around the hotel - the art collection is FAB.
