Reserve

Expert Reviews of Reserve

Citysearch | Swanky, fashion-focused lounge attracts big spenders with its elite atmosphere and high-end bottle service.

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...

User Reviews of Reserve

What a joke

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...

Is this place still open?

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...

Reserve's staff are SPAMMERS

Ok, I don't actually go to nightclubs but this one takes the cake. First of all, I see TONS of postings on Craigslist, which doesn't allow spamming, yet the staff at Reserve keeps posting ads in the FREE...

Don't bother

This is not an elite atmosphere. $10 a drink and poor service. The bartenders are too busy drinking themselves to help the paying customers. Better options in Chicago.

This Place is Hot Like Fire
