Editorial Review for Reserve – by Lori Fradkin
The Scene
Gleaming red tiles behind the bar and two rows of candles along a front wall of bamboo create a sexy crimson tint in this bi-level West Loop nightclub. Attentive hosts lead 20- to 30-something guests to reserved tables surrounded by leather couches, stools and chairs, and upstairs where there is additional intimate seating and space for dancing. VIPs order bottles of champagne to fill the silver buckets and crystal glasses; other patrons sip cocktails while standing at the marble bar. Girls pose in tight jeans and slinky tops, while guys stick to collared shirts.
The Draw
As party mode sets in for the well-coiffed fashionistas, bartenders effortlessly mix specialties like the Black Cherry with chocolate-chip-cookie-dough liqueur. An elevated DJ booth plays house music, Michael Jackson and Jay-Z, and females shimmy and shake on the dance floor.

This place just re-opened to little if any fanfare and for good reason. No improvements have been made to the "new" reserve in fact the "daybeds" upstairs still bare the mark of cigarette burns from days gone by (classy!). The management (if you want to call it that) were rude to my friends and I (who shelled out a nice sum of our meager post-grad earnings) and were less than helpful in directing us to where our party was. We had fun regardless (we roll like that but needless to say we'll be taking our party elsewhere.) On a positive not, the dancer's were hot and security polite but otherwise I give it one star out of four- thumbs down. In sum, if you want to be treated like a second class citizen wait in line for too long pay too much for drinks and get disrespected RESERVE is the PLACE FOR YOU!!!! Respectfully, ClubKid85
Pros: Couple hot dancers
Cons: hmm..where do I start

Don't get me wrong, but I read an article in the Tribune that this and Crescendo are closed because the owners of these clubs have some "financial issues" that they are facing? I'll be shocked to find it still in business. But anyway, I remember coming here in 2006 in January to celebrate my cousin's birthday. Although there was some confusion at the door when we were supposed to get in for free and them having 2-3 guest lists for I don't know how many events that were being held, we did get in without any hassle (thanks to actually printing the e-mail that we were supposed to get in for free). The inside is definitely awesome with the bamboo and the red painted walls. Upstairs was a VIP area, but we didn't get to go up. But what I have beef is with the price of the drinks. They ARE pricy, and there isn't that much room to dance either. But overall, the place isn't bad at all, even better than Narcisse in regards to ambiance if I may say so (you can read my review on that too). But would I stay the whole night? I don't think I would, especially if you're not VIP (and you do need mucho dinero to climb those step to the upstairs lounge (probably 1/2 of that profit goes to the owners' "financial problems"). Would I go again, sure, just not for the entire night.
Pros: ambiance, celebrity party club
Cons: EXPENSIVE, Might be CLOSED
