User Reviews for Martini Park

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Ok all you Chicago people. I just want to take a min and say YOU ROCK! I am from California and went to Martini park and had a BLAST. The food was fantastic (especially for a late night menu) This place is HUGE with a Great band too! The chocolate martini was something I would have never ordered, but the waitress suggested and I must say I am hooked! I will absolutely be back on my next visit. I read some of these reviews and I have to say, the ones that didn’t like it probably didn’t belong there in the first place. It’s upscale and if you have taste and style you should absolutely go!

Pros: Love this place! Great martinis!

Cons: none

A neighborhood saloon designed to convey simple elegance. The food and specialty cocktails are feel good fresh, natural and easily understood. It's not just another tavern! This place has live bands and a great eclectic crowd. I liked the martinis, the spacious area, the decor, and the food. It's a good place to experience at least once. My girl friends and I had a great time! Give it a try.

Pros: Love the late3 night appitizers

Cons: try valet and parking is not an issue

I had a great time at martini park, until I got my bill. There were drinks on my bill which I did not order, but I paid for them anyways (stupid, right?) I left my cash tip, then went back to the city I belong to. By habit, I check my restaurant purchases/charges online via my credit card website. I then noticed the restaurant charged my credit card an additional $20 tip. What is going on? I called martini park for them to adjust the tab but they never returned my call. I actually got a hold of someone and she put me on hold for 15 min and no one still picked up. WARNING::: DON'T GO THERE WITH A CREDIT CARD. If you do go there pay by cash.

I'm a twenty-something looking for something new. Live in the neighborhood and heard good things about the Park so decided to give it a try. Have been twice with a pleasant experience both times. Got right in with no cover both visits. Crowd is very diverse, it gets younger as the night goes on. Bands early in the night are so so depending on the night but once the DJ starts spinning the dance floor gets packed-pretty much top 40 music. The bar is crowed but no problem getting a drink. Expresso Martini's are the bomb! If you're looking for something in between a college bar and a super trendy hot spot, give Martini Park a try.

Kinda feels like when the Metra doors open and you step off in Schaumberg. Fits at the Mall, not downtown. The floor staff was great--one bouncer/host went out of his way to get us extra stools at the table. The food was good, but felt corporate. If the Park turned down the lights AND swapped the trailer park band for some hip music, it could be quite nice. Otherwise, franchise it up and put it next to Cheesecake Factory.

Pros: Big enough not to cause a line

Cons: Just about everything

I felt like I was walking into a Vegas bar when I first stepped in. This place is HUGE, the energy even LARGER and the crowd is hot. I loved the fact this is a 30-40 plus age group and people really look like they're having a great time. I will definitely be back at this one! Try the Cucumber martini or the Pomegranate martini. No hangover in the morning!

Pros: Great atmosphere, good crowd, good drinks

Cons: Drinks are pricey

Insider Tips

Parking

Valet is a good investment in this busy part of town, although it might make sense to circle the block--searching the side streets--first.
