I finally tried Shore Club on a perfect summer day! My friends and I planned a lake plunge and had a reservation for lunch. I really liked the place--it's right by the beach club and has great outdoor seating with couches, chairs, and another section. It's perfect for a casual day with friends, and I even saw bridal parties celebrating bachelorettes! The service was quick, and the song selection was amazing. For drinks, we had the In Love with Coco, an espresso martini, and the Margarita Tree, which was the best, four flavors: mango, blackberry, classic, and strawberry. For food, we ordered fries, a mezze platter, and shrimp tacos. The mezze platter was huge and filling for a party of 4-5. I was really impressed with it. Prices are slightly on the higher side, but it's a perfect spot right by the beach. read more

Shore club is located right in the middle of North Ave Beach, and is very popular during summers. We had booked the outdoor patio for lunch at around 3pm for a party of 6. Although we arrived early, we got a table on arrival. The weather was fantastic, and hence sitting outdoor was relaxing and we felt like we were in an actual beach city. If it's too sunny, you might feel hot if you sit outside. Loved the music that was playing in the background. In terms of food, we had ordered french fries and a Mezze platter for the table. I personally had a plate of blackened shrimp tacos. I had also ordered a fresh coconut which was refreshing. Others on the table had also called for Margaritas. My favourite was the shrimp taco. The mezze platter had a lot of variety and it was quite filling. Overall a very good experience. read more

The worst dining experience of our Chicago stay. Our server was withdrawn and the service went downhill the longer we were there. We had reservations for 10 a.m. on Sunday and it was dead when we got there, yet for some reason our ginormous mezze platter appetizer came out at the same time as our entrees . . . and the entrees were cold. I had the watermelon mojito salad and another person had the housemade tuna salad so at least those were supposed to be cold. But the baked french toast, two orders of beachside benedict and two orders of salsa verde chilaquiles were all cold. We all left disappointed with the entire experience. Yes, the view at Shore Club is pretty, but bad service from the back of the house to the front cannot make up for the debacle we encountered. read more

Nice lunch spent at Shore Club. This place truly transports you to somewhere tropical! Beautiful view of the beach. Mango margs: 3/5 (please upgrade the glasses from plastic Dixie cups) Whipped feta: 2/5, dip itself was pretty bad, but loved how it came with two kinds of pita and veggies Shrimp tacos: 3.5/5 Great service, QR code pay option. read more

You're paying for the view and the vibes. The food was good, but the price point for the amount of food was a bit hefty. I got the blackened shrimp tacos (trio set) and didn't think they would be so small. I did have to get a side of fries to fill me up because I wasn't full just yet and the fries itself were about $9. We also ordered the frozen drinks and were a bit bummed because we were expecting them to be so small. For $15, I was under the impression that it would be in a taller and fuller glass. Overall, expect a hike in the price tag for 1. Its location/proximity to the beach 2. Beach club which is separate 3. The ambiance read more

Heavy on the 3 star. It's really cool looking in there. Vibe is cool. Nice lil beach situation and cool to take pics at but the food we had was kinda mid I fear. The tacos tasted like a Philly cheese steak and if that's what I was going for, then cool. But I wanted steak tacos. Chicken sandwiches which had feta needed a sauce. Something either sweet or spicy or a combo to balance the dryness of the fried chicken batter and the feta. Our server was great. I had my shoes off bc that's just me and one of the managers sternly asked me to put them back on and that irritated me but I mean that has nothing to do with my rating lmao just funny to share. Idk guys I'll never have to go back in my life The drinks were cool tho! read more

I came here last summer and while it was nice to enjoy a restaurant right on the shore, the food was not a hit. The drink flight was a fun concept, but not all of the drinks were enjoyable and the flavors did not blend well. The food itself also lacked flavor. Overall I was not a fan. read more

The place was crazy packed since most people were at the beach last weekend. Luckily, we had a reservation, though it looked like they were accommodating some walk-ins too. We opted for indoor seating--there were a few fans running, but they didn't do much against the heat. The service was solid. We started with frozen cocktails, which were refreshing and decent. For appetizers, we had the burrata with cherry tomatoes--simple but delicious. We followed that with the chicken mezzo platter, which was pretty standard but tasty. We also tried the lobster tacos. They were served cold, as mentioned, but I think I would have preferred them warm--hot lobster would've brought out the flavors more. read more

Came here for a day party for the air and water show. The buffet was good and it was unlimited drinks. Definitely worth it. But they charge us extra for a table, there's not enough table to accommodate all the people that bought tickets. Even when we bought a table, we didn't get a waitress or waiter. No one attended to us. It's a cute spot to grab drinks by the pool. Not sure how much things are, food are on their menu. But drink prices seems reasonable. read more

We swung by shore club for a nice summery brunch. We sat outside to enjoy the last few days of warm weather. The ambience is very beach and upscale, loved it. The server was very friendly and fast. We ordered the margarita tree, an espresso martini slushie (yes they exist and yes it was really good), a bunch of other cocktails, the maze platter and some fries. Overall, loved the vibe, drinks and the food. We did think the prices were a bit on the higher side. They were playing amazing house music! We had so much fun! I will definitely be back! read more

The indoor seating was a welcome break from the hot weather. The circulating fans really helped. Friendly staff. We ordered way too much food and had to get some to go boxes. Only issue was the bill. I didn't remember seeing any notice about 20% service fee! So that bumped up the final total significantly. read more

I really enjoyed the ambiance of the place, it was cute and had a decent vibe. However, I'm giving it 4 stars because the reservation package I paid for didn't feel like it was worth the cost. I paid around $260 upfront for a table reservation that included rosé and a mezze platter. Those items only totaled about $120 on the menu, so the value just didn't match the price. I was expecting more of an elevated experience--especially since we were celebrating a birthday. I was hoping for some extra touches or "bells and whistles," but it fell short in that regard. What made it more disappointing was seeing others walk in and get the same type of table without booking the experience, just ordering off the menu. That said, the food was good--the mezze platter was good, and the shore sandwich was a highlight and perfect for two people. The tower drinks were a bit too sweet for my taste. I'd definitely come back, but next time I'll skip the reservation package and just dine à la carte. And let's not forget the server- he was incredible! read more

Loved the vibes here. Such a cute spot I can't believe I never noticed it! They have a couple patio areas. One with mostly tables and the other with huge lounge chairs and bean bag Toss. The service was good. You have to have a reservation and show ID. The food was good too! My friend truly enjoyed her meal. I had mini tacos, which were a good size, but it just didn't feel like restaurant food. Still taste good but like my little cousin whipped up some tacos. In there defense I was trying to eat light that day. Maybe if I ordered a regular meal it would've been better. The drinks were delicious. We got the margarita flight. I loved being able to try different flavors and they were pretty strong. Since there were 3 I drank two while waiting and saved one for the meal. Will definitely be back read more

While visiting had the chance to stop here as it was well recommended online. Our waiter was nice, as we ordered the flight of margaritas which was ok but for the price I expected better tasting. We enjoyed the mango but disliked the pina colada as neither my friend or I like that flavor. It would have been great if we could have changed it for another flavor. I did enjoy my salmon salad and my friend enjoyed her lobster tacos. read more

Was excited for months to visit shore club on a weekend trip to Chicago. The vip section looks a little different than the photos in ig but may still be worth it if you actually plan to stay for 1/2 a day. The outside staff at the entrance were super welcoming, fun and entertaining. Wish I could say the same for our waitress. She was clearly over whelmed but maybe the other girls would help you out if you weren't so rude. We enjoyed our drinks but the food definitely was subpar. When I go back I'll stick to something simple like a hummus plate or fries read more

When you don't have many options on the beach, this is not bad. We ordered a few items, but the service was slow given how empty the place was. The worst part was the flies... They kept bugging our legs... The lobster mac & cheese was a 10/10! It's the unanimous best dish of the meal. The toast bread in both sandwich and French toast was too dry. Sweet potato fries were crispy but also hard. Also note there's a 18%-20% service fee added in the final bill. read more

Shore club is such a beautiful location, very relaxing vibes but the service was terrible. The server was never around, had no type of customer service and also charged our group for a new order of tortilla chips since ours were stale. The food was OK, we had the chicken sliders which were pretty dry, the shrimp tacos 8/10, poke bowl 8/10 and elote Cobb 6/10. Surprised to see them close a little after 5pm so you have to catch them in the day read more

Not So Greats: There's no A/C so if you come during the middle of the summer be prepared to be a little warm. There are fans but nothing too powerful so we asked to be seated where it was a little cooler and the bar area was perfect for that. While the jumbo shrimp cocktail was good, for $19 and to only get 4 shrimp is a little insane to me but it came with the most adorable mini Tabasco sauce bottles and we were otherwise in a good, celebratory mood so whatevs. The Greats: The bartender/server Ana (?) was really great and attentive with pretty good speed of service. The frozen mango Margarita WITH the tajin?! Kudos to whoever thought to add that - I loved my cocktail but, again, the price point was a little high imo. Those damn Crispy Lobster Tacos were everything I never knew I needed. From the tropical slaw to the very generous amount of lobster meat in each taco??!?!!! I'm coming back for those alone. read more

Great convenient spot to have a meal right by the beach. Their location is great! I tried their shrimp tacos, and I can say it had a good amount of seasoning in it. I like it seasoned at a moderate amount so maybe it depends on how others like it. The sauce and lime helped add a little tang to the seasoning. Service wise I'd say was on the slower pace given the place was not crowded that evening and I waited quite a bit and asked one of the bus employees to grab the server for me. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, I opted to sit inside as it was a little cool that evening. Lots of seating available so it wasn't an issue, seating me was the quickest part. Because the location is so convenient I'm willing to come back and try the place again with a group. read more

Fun vibes for brunch! But if you sit inside, it gets hotttt! They have fans but it's stuffy in there. They had music which was fun. The staff were super nice. Food was average and overpriced but it had an awesome view of the lake. I'd go back! read more

Yesterday, I celebrated my 40th birthday at Shore Club. Initially, I was bit irritated because they didn't have my reserved sunbed prepared. Nino I'm assuming had to be the manager, explained it was due to the weather policy. He overly accommodated me by upgrading my rental to a cabana and gave me my first drink on the house. The vibe was very beachy laid-back casual. It was also pretty neat to have the entire Oasis to ourselves lol due to the weather. We were moved inside once it got really bad. Carmina the waitress was just as pretty as me, lol. She was friendly, upbeat and did an amazing job as the only waitress staffed. The overall customer service was great from the waitress to the bartender Hoitz, (who I shared special jokes and laughs with), and even the security guard Rasheed. I had an amazing time and truly enjoyed sharing my day with friends and Shore Clubs staff. I look forward to visiting this spot again. (Nino, my apologies for leaving the rose pedals everywhere. I guess I had too many drinks and forgot I said I would clean them up. ) #BEACHIM40 read more

I'll keep this one simple. The food here is really good, and it's an awesome location with outdoor seating right by the lake which is beautiful. I ordered the Shore Club sandwich and it was awesome, although it could have fed a family of 4 so be mindful of its size. Others got the Poke Bowl, the Salmon, and the Chilean Sea Bass, all saying there food was great. The only reason I'm rating 3 stars instead of 4 was the service was lacking. May have just been a one off, but we waited 20 minutes after being seated before I had to go find someone to take a drink order, and after we finished our meal, waited a solid 30 minutes before we found someone to bring us our bill. Maybe it was where they put us, but the service was really lacking. Summary: Great environment, good food, poor service. read more

Great lunch at the Shore Club, beautiful lake front location. We had a watermelon salad, very tasty but the highlight was the Shore Club Sandwich, absolutely amazing, so good, the balance between the ingredients was perfect, I think the tomato jam gave an extra kick to it, very tasty but you really need to share as it is huge read more

The food was disappointing. The avocado toast want fresh. The chilaquiles were gross the salsa was sour and barely had any and who uses rabanos on chilaquiles? They were disgusting. The shore club sandwich was ok I think they do better with American food. The view was the only positive thing about this whole experience. The service was great however at the end when you're paying they make you leave extra tip. It gives the option of 3%5%or10% there's no option for no extra tip even though they already charge a 20% tip plus a fee for Sunday? read more

Came here for an 11 am weekday lunch/brunch? Not sure if this is the same menu that they use for dinner, available at 11 am, but it was fine. (Pro tip: make a reservation in advance) Definitely a trendy spot to visit. Beautiful decor and design, as well as the location on the beach, plus frozen bevvy flights - the girlies will flock here. Speaking of, while I was there, Shore Club was also hosting an influencer event (spotted a few of the LIB girls!). I think the event planners could've done a little more work to move the IV drip station out of the direct line of sight of guests of the regular dining guests because PINCH was on full display when you immediately walked into the restaurant. Really, not appetizing to see people connected to IVs and getting needles injected while you eat. Food was good. I had the Mikanos board, which was exactly like the description said: pita, chicken, and halloumi. They could've done better to add a little tomato or cucumber to balance the meal. Meanwhile, my friend got the Turkey club sandwich which was about 7" tall and there was no possible way to eat that in a graceful or handheld way, and it didn't come with a side. I think Shore Club should refine their menu a little bit and clearly differentiate between lunch and dinner (they also had sweet brunch items listed on the same menu, so it was just a cluster of everything they serve at all times during the week, but you can only get brunch on weekends so it was a tease). read more

Had a fantastic time here with a big group of friends. Lots of outdoor and covered seating, we had a large party of about 18 people and the food was great. We got a preset option that had charcuterie, veggie platter, poke and chips, sliders, and tacos, and everything was fantastic. I think my favorite thing was the poke! But the shrimp tacos were also very good! read more

You'll pay a bit more since they give you a nice view of the lake. The place is located a few minutes walking distance from the Castaways Boat. The service was pretty good as the waiter got our food and drink orders right away. I got the frozen mango margarita and it was extremely strong! I also ordered the steak tacos trio and the meat was pretty dry. The ambiance is a club scene so be prepared for loud music. They do offer large and small tables indoor and outdoor so any group can join. For two people we paid about $70 including the auto gratuity. read more

This place is such a great vibe, due to its set up, location right along the beach, and its drinks. We had the hibiscus lemonade and the pink peach ice tea, which were both delicious. This time I went for their brunch as they have more veggie friendly options. I loved their chilaquiles, but I think they should've put in scrambled eggs instead of Sunnyside. I wasn't aware, so I believe if you request it they could change it. I enjoyed their eggs benedict, but the bread was too hard. It should've been on a softer bread or easy to eat one instead of getting messy. read more

My friend was in town and wanted to have lunch by the lake: enter Shore Club. She'd already been there that week with her family, and loved it so much she wanted to come back. While my experience wasn't that exciting, I'm still glad we checked it out. It was luckily a gorgeous day and not too humid, so we opted to sit outside. We requested a shadier table and the hostess really hunted to find the shadiest table. We ended up taking one closer to the lake as there was a better breeze, but we appreciated her effort. The menu has a lot of fresh, beachy dishes. The main drawback for me is that it doesn't have many vegetarian options. My friend and I both got salads and wine. The salads were fresh and delicious and also HUGE. I was balking a bit at the price, but the size (mostly) matched the cost. They both held up well the next day. My main complaint is the service. Our server's approach to service was like the vibe of the restaurant: chill. We waited for at least 10 if not 15 minutes for anyone to come over at all (and when they did, it was after tables who were sat after us). Once our food orders were in, the food didn't take too long to arrive, but once we were done, there was no one to be found. My friend went up to the bar to get our to go boxes, after waiting another 10 minutes after requesting them. Although splitting the check was very easy, as they use a software that lets people pay for only what they ordered. I might come back, but it's not a priority for me. read more

We rode our bikes here and that was really cool... I had never been anywhere in this part of Chicago. We sat outside and had a great view of the shore! Our waiter was good, very sweet- young & a newbie but told us that and is excited to learn the business! The hummus was delicious, fresh & very healthy! The Mykonos platter- which the other 2 ordered was my favorite, it was very delicious. My Elote salad wasn't bad, but was really big & just not what I wanted... I regretted not getting the Mykonos platter. But- all in all, the food was fresh, nice & tasty. Great atmosphere & views! read more

This place is right on the boardwalk/lakefront path with an unobstructed view of the beach/Lake Michigan. Great place to come and lounge with some appetizers and cocktails. You can definitely dress up if you like, but I felt perfectly comfortable in shorts and flipflops. The food and drinks are overpriced but surprisingly good (we got the tzaziki dip w/ pita bread and the shrimp tacos). I got the "espresso martini" which was in frozen format (think frappuccino) but pretty darn strong and delicious. Good service too, from the host to the server. I was also pleasantly surprised that it wasn't super loud or rowdy, which is not my scene lol. But they seem to host a lot of events here (there was a wedding reception, birthday party, and a sip and paint event, all at the same time when I was here!), so I would highly recommend a reservation on the weekends. There's an indoor area too, but I'd recommend sitting outside for the view/ambiance. read more

Fine to visit once, but not super impressive, not sure I'd go back. Similar to a lot of the other reviews, the place just seemed a little dirty. The windows are covered in bugs and spider webs... and nothing seems wiped down. We stopped in on a Monday afternoon and it was eerily quiet and just felt empty... dare I say a little boring and underwhelming. Maybe the vibe would be more interesting on the weekend? I think it felt extra empty because it is just one huge room with no dividers so you felt like you were the only one at a deserted restaurant. We sat inside and were led to a table.... that we ended up leaving and finding a spot where the fan was blowing because otherwise, it was unbearably hot. Service was just fine and pleasant and the drinks were good, but the most expensive drinks of our entire trip... served in a small plastic cup. If you are looking for a cold beverage after the beach, stop on by, but I wouldn't really make a destination out of this place. read more
