"What a beautiful place to eat and see the views of Chicago. Our food was excellent. Our service was excellent."

Kimberly G. | Member

"Outstanding service for members — the staff makes it a point to know everyone and provide personalized service, and the dues are far more reasonable than some private clubs with far fewer services... A great place to hold a meeting, have a meal with a client or guest, sit down and work for a few hours, or to attend regular events."

Charles D. | Member

"It’s a beautiful club. The views are amazing of the whole city and they have events at the Metropolitan club all the time. There’s also a room with a golf simulator as well as a little lounge where you can enjoy."
