Drink

This place is usually a good time. The drinks are a tiny bit more expensive than your local bar but they give you a good amount of alcohol in your drink so it’s worth the price. Good music. The only down side is sometimes the female bartenders tend to help males out first before they even look your way. Other than that it’s a great time and I recommend going for a fun night out in the suburbs.

This place is a absolute joke. Customer service on another level. Couldn’t get in because they didn’t like my top and the guy asked me to take it off and go in only with a t shirt Saturday night with a 50 degree weather

Well well well where to start? I live a block away from this place and was amazed I hadn’t tried it out. Well here’s my experience.
My buddy came in town and I told him we could try Drink out because I hadn’t been there and I think it will be close to his scene. Trying to show him a good time. We walk up to the door and the gentleman kindly point out our shoes and politely turned us away. The other gentleman near him corrected him and said «no they are straight.» They let us in with no problem. We were dressed in regular clothes. Acceptable. I happened to have a plain light blue hoodie on and Nikes. I like to think we were pretty solid looking guys so that may have had something to do with it. But next time I will dress nicer to avoid this. We entered the club around midnight and it was packed. We were feelin pretty good vibes when we got there.
Once we walked in we knew we were in the right spot. My buddy also commented on how cool it was. Multiple floors. Everyone dressed well. Temperature was good. Not too hot or cold. The drinks were very reasonably priced. The service from our bartender was great. Very quick given the amount of people there. Short and thin brunette with glasses. She was awesome. The music was great. Everyone around us was having a good time. Even being a tad underdressed we were welcome by the other guests. I am excited to go back again.
I have read through some reviews and horror stories that give one stars. Their accounts and experiences would give me the same bad taste. I am nervous/​excited to go back but I will and I hope that the good times continue. Well done. So far.

I have heard so much of this place and everything went as expected. Best EDM mixes and such a energetic atmosphere. Staff was awesome! It was fast to get drinks. I will be back for sure.

I’ll start off with the positive. The manager, Nola was excellent to work with, however I think the communication on what to expect when setting up a birthday for a 21-​year old could have been better. She never mentioned there was a dress code or that if the establishment over-​serves someone that the club will kick you and the entire party out. Very poor communication. The bartender Matthew was great and made sure my son enjoyed celebrating his 21^st birthday. Thank you Mitch, for working with my husband and doing the right thing.
And now for the negative. Beware of the bouncers! They’re awful. They don’t know how to difuse situations or handle them appropriately. They’re extremely aggressive and use their positions to abuse people. They definitely need better training on how to minimize hurting people. They’re bruisers!

A few friends and I went to Drink because it was something local to do and no one wanted to drive to the city. The bouncer didn’t want to let our friend in because he had a few rips in his pants, yet the dress code didn’t say anything about the pants being restricted. Then the bouncer was asking us for money in order to get out friend in. He had the nerve to ask us to pay $ 50 despite the fact that there was no one inside!!! We ended up going to Rosemont… It’s really not that serious. The music sucks and there were like 5 people in there. Sorry, not sorry.

Apart from being the only place in the suburb, there are no pros. This place is a piece of shit.

Extremely racist… Black or Asian… We and another group were kicked out just because the white bartender did not like us… Extremely unprofessional… Do not go to this place. Really smokey and extremely badly managed. Do go to the escape which is next to this. It’s much better!!! These guys are extremely Racist!!!

Called in advance to see what the dress code is. Drove 1.5 hours and they would not let us in because we weren’t wearing a certain type of shoe. Huge waste of gas and time.

Visited Drink for the first time last night with a group of 4 to celebrate a birthday and new job. We arrived pretty early around 8 to get a feel of the place, talk to the staff, have a few drinks to start the night. Before I get into the problems with Drink, I’d like to be fair and talk about the good things we experienced. Venue is huge, multiple floors, great sound/​lighting system, more than enough bars to take care of you. Bathrooms were big and clean, and located conveniently near the entrance. The DJs were awesome, and even took requests, just be respectful and tip them. Bartenders were great, as well as our server for bottle service, so don’t skimp on the tips as they deserve it.
Matthew, our bartender was a great guy, friendly, and appreciated the tip that I left him. He recommended coming back around 10, when it would be busier. I inquired about bottle service, as our group wanted to secure a table close to the DJ. Matthew told me that we’d be fine, we just had to buy one bottle and they would take care of us, and to let the doorman know that we spoke to Matthew.
This is where the problems begin — with the management. We arrive around 11, the place is packed, but there were still areas that didn’t have many people as the venue is pretty huge. We came well dressed, and got respect from the doorman, (he was turning away people who were wearing sneakers, boots, or basically looked homeless). However, after I mentioned that we were here earlier and spoke to Matthew about a table, we were told by a guy named Jason that we had to buy 2 bottles, and it couldn’t be champagne (since those were $ 75). I was a bit surprised about the shakedown at the door, which reminded me of some sleazy used car salesman trying to screw me over. I reasoned with Jason and said that we were told something different by Matthew, and that we were here to celebrate and have a good time, and that we’d probably be drinking more anyway, (if this rude idiot wasn’t trying to haggle with me at the door). He agreed to put us in the Absolut Lounge, with a bottle of Tito’s vodka ($ 170 for a 750ml bottle that normally costs $ 17.99).
Our party of 2 Indian men, 1 indian girl, and 1 white girl is placed in the far back of the venue, away from the main DJ, and the main bar. I am starting to regret my decision. I decide to go to the bar and have a chat with Matthew. I explained what happened at the front, as well as the fact that we were placed away from everyone else. He says not to worry, just talk to the hostess at the front and she will have us moved closer to the main dance floor. I told him that I appreciated his help, and slipped him a $ 20. I explain the situation to the the girl at the front, named Olivia, and she looks at me like I’m crazy. She calls over Jason, and he says to me that our party cannot sit over there unless we buy two bottles. I look over, and there is literally no one over there, out of the 7 – 8 tables. I explained that Matthew said it wouldn’t be a problem, and you know what he tells me? «Matthew is just a bartender, I don’t know why he is telling you anything, he’s not a manager. I’ll have a word with Matthew later.»
Instead of raising hell or being angry, I just sighed and shook Jason’s hand, and thanked him for his help. I knew then that I would never come back to this place. Here’s some free advice for the management, the whole point of marking up liquor by 1000% is to provide good SERVICE, that’s why it’s called BOTTLE SERVICE. By paying $ 170 for a $ 17 bottle of liquor, I’m expecting to be treated with a bit of respect and accommodation. It would have been one thing if the entire section was packed full of people buying $ 500 Belvedere magnums, but it was empty. My advice for working professionals with money, go to Underground Wonder Bar in Chicago, they will take care of you there. If you need a cheap place to get drunk, Drink is the place for you.
P. S. — My apologies to Matthew if we got you in some trouble with management, you were trying so hard to take care of us, you are definitely one of the best bartenders I’ve had!

Went and bought the special drink package. After trying to get first drink we went and got a refund because the drink selections that we were told include certain alcohols didn’t actually include those. Manager was helpful in getting a refund. Those alcohols were considered premium alcohol (above top shelf) so they were not included. Drinks after that were okay tho some beers literally tasted watered down. The bar tenders said they believed us and didn’t want to taste it as well (which by itself is shocking) a beer is a beer but these bottles tasted like water to several of us. We’ve been here several times but every time It’s seemed less and less impressive. Dance floor atmosphere is kinda fun but our friends are moving from just down the street so we likely will never have a reason to come back to a place we have Had problems with over and over.
Once it fills up drink can be a lively dance floor of that’s what you’re looking for.

I been to drink 2 – 3 times and I always end up having a great time! I like it because it’s local and convenient to those not trying to drive out to the city for fun. I have heard of them having coverages but both times I went it was because a friend was having a birthday so I didn’t have to pay.
The first time my friend rented his own section downstairs and it was very nice! Their was plenty of space and we had our own bar! Plus partying with peeps you know is always fun. They were playing good music and I was on the dance floor most of the night. It was getting very turned at a point and one of the club promoters began giving free shots if you walked up and he poured it in your mouth. He had a towel and was careful not to spill on you and that’s good! Because I didn’t want alcohol on my chest lol!
The second time we went we surprised my buddy in Halloween weekend and that was another very successful event! This time my friend rented the upstairs area which I never seen and it was very nice with a lot of side lounge booths and also a bar. People had awesome costumes! We got a deal if we got a certain amount of friends to come and everyone got 10 free drinks for 20 dollars I think.
In the end I had a great time when I come here. I would like to return again. It’s always fun when I go and drinks are always very good!

No one ever come to DRINK Nightclub it’s the worst club in the burbs !!! Worst staff. They said we smoked a vape and kicked out 27 people in the cold pass the word. Let’s post everyday if you support us

why 4 stars? Because they need more bartenders behind the scenes. specially on a night like Halloween! I visited Drink on Halloween and they were definitely understaffed, music was great, atmosphere was good place was a little antiquated in regards to decoration but other than that i had a good time.

Let’s be honest, if you are in the suburbs and you don’t want the hassle of driving into the city to go to a dance club /​bar, you are going to want to be at Drink. There is usually a cover charge past 10pm, but usually it is roughly $ 10 for ladies and $ 15 for the gents. If you get in before 10pm, you can usually avoid the cover charge.
There are 2 stories with 3 different bars inside the venue. There are also two different dance floors inside as well. There is a lovely outdoor patio with its own very large bar too. Great scenery outside, smoking is also allowed there if that matters to you.
Music is usually going to be fast and full of bass. If you are a person who only likes to dance to rap, this is not the place for you. No rap is ever played here, usually only top dance beats and some techno or Euro music. Also, a lot of remixes of current popular songs too.
I have fun whenever I go here… so much more convenient to go to Drink than to go to the city and drop $ 100’s just to get a buzz. Also, the dancing it just a plus.
Ladies be warned, there are a few creepers here! Better to go in a group or with your boyfriend.

Truly not impressed with this place at all. Decorations and DJs are cool but the drink were terribly made and crazy expensive. The crowd of people was very late for a Saturday night. definitely will not be some where I’ll go again.
Also, there’s a dress code which I think is a bit ridiculous. If you want customers and business I don’t think they should be too picky especially when it was nothing to rave about!

Definitely brings me back to college years. Great spot for the locals who don’t feel like driving to the city but still want to go out. This was my first time here, I didn’t mind it but I felt the crowd was way younger and more geared toward college students or anyone under 25. I did spot few older people, which kind of creeped me out a bit.
The Drinks were reasonably priced compared to Chicago, but I guess if you want to attract customers to stay in the burbs, you better lower the prices. The music was a bit odd, they played good music but they were older and not very current compared to the Chicago DJs. but then again I went on a Friday, maybe it’s different on Saturday?

Cool spot out there in Schaumburg. It’s casual but there is dress code and they will ask you to dress appropriately so make sure you check that out before going there. The guy ahead of me was with his girl and wearing sneakers so they made him leave the line.
I liked the fact that everyone was pretty cool here and the energy was positive and upbeat. The drinks were not over-​priced and they have a pretty big patio section where you could sit and chill.

Drink, or the «dirty D», as the girls I hung out with Friday night affectionately nick named the place, was a fantastic time indeed. However, it should be said that how much you enjoy an evening out at this place has as much to do with you as it does the club. It is most certainly not for every taste.
It is essentially a meat market styled dance club that pumps out loud EDM music til the wee hours of the morning, caters to a younger demographic, and is a place where it is still fashionable to pound down Jäger bombs and make out with random girls you just met. The brazen and reckless nature of this club is reminiscent of a college bar. The only major difference is none (or very few) of the patrons are in college anymore, yet none have settled down yet either. It is a limbo of those who have moved on with their life/​career, but have somehow managed to avoid the whole wife, kids, house with a picket fence, etc. routine.
The dance floor is huge, and they have a large outdoor bar and seating area as well, which comes in handy as it gets pretty hot from doing the white boy shuffle non-​stop for hours on end. I wish I had dressed a tad nicer, as my torn blue jeans and t-​shirt were a little out of place as most people were to the 9’s.
The progression of the evening was fairly predictable. I have been to places like this a million times before in the past, but it has admittedly been awhile. The club was pretty dead at 10 when I arrived. By 10:45 the dance floor was packed and shots were flowing like a tidal wave. By 11:45 I had already met, been grinding on, and was in the midst of a passionate embrace of a lovely young female accountant. By 1:30, I was in love. After that, things get a little fuzzy. Glad I have my Über app on my home screen for quick access.
As guilty as I should probably feel for being so wantonly irresponsible, it actually felt pretty BA to cut loose for a change. I am certainly not saying that I plan to become a regular here, as I would like to think I have evolved a bit in my life. That said, it felt pretty cool to have fresh texts in my phone this morning telling me what a great guy I am. Whatever it was I said, it must have been good.

The place is nice, I use to work there they agreed to pay me a certain rate and didn’t to top things off they didn’t pay me for 5 weeks! When I started asking questions about my check they told me it was at another location and if I wanted it to drive there and pick it up. I said no that’s not how it works. Either have it here or mail it to my house. I told them that if I didn’t have it by a certain date I will contact HR for my check. My manager Mitch called me 5 times in an hour blowing my phone up threatening me and telling me I’m fired for telling him I’m going to HR and how dare I. I contacted HR and told them what’s going on. I was transferred to another location, got my check and told I’m not allowed to work for the company anymore because my manager lost sleep over this Matter and caused him grief over a stupid $ 500 paycheck.
I was told because of this matter I’m banned from Drink, I said it’s bs I’ve done nothing wrong. I’ve made several attempts to reach Jim and others that can have say in this matter was promised a phone call back 4 times in the past 4 months and haven’t, it’s a horrible company to work for they don’t care about anyone!
