I don’t remember!!! lol. A good time was had. One drink was all it took on a Wednesday night. Went to dance in a safe environment. Goal accomplished.
I didn't have any food, didn't have any drinks, It wasn't my scene, the staff was nice and people seemed to be enjoying each other company. I am happy to see that. I would recommend it to someone else, though.
OMG We had a ball last night So my mom celebrated her 64th birthday at THE FAMILY DEN last night and might I say the atmosphere was wonderful. #1 Booked A Party (easy) 1st of all no cover charge to get in which was great. No fee to book party just have your food catered from the kitchen. I highly recommend booking a party. #2 The Food (reasonable rate) We ordered the catered food from the kitchen and everybody loved it. We had mac & cheese greens, string beans and potatoes chicken. My family loved all the food. It wasn’t no food to take home cause it was so good. Thank you Andre and staff for your wonderful meal. They also have a kitchen and food served all night. They do have Veggie options and they are known the have great wings. #3 The Atmosphere Great social and networking environment. Over 30 people showed up for my party and there were all able to get a seat even though it was packed at 4pm in the afternoon on a Saturday . I was like daggggg I thought I was coming early to beat the crowd .,,,,,, the crowd was already getting it in. The staff was great , the owners made sure we had enough chairs , drinks, table and were consistent to the party needs. Thank you the to the owners and staff who made my mom day special #4 The Music/DJ The music was dope, my family stayed on the dance floor because the DJ was playing hit after hit. My feet and legs are hurting right now because of how long I danced, # 5 The Bar (Drinks) Well I don’t drink. I sipped on cold ice water that was available all night. My family didn’t have any complaints though and the bar was packed. Waiter’s came to the tables and took drink orders for the party crew. #6 The bathroom They got a bathroom lady on deck. I seen this lady on her hands and knees with bleach and sanitizer cleaning products cleaning the floor, keeping the bathroom smelling good. She had bubble gum, suckers, hand soap, paper towels, everything that you needed in that bathroom and she made it so cozy and wonderful. I felt like I was at home in that bathroom. That’s how she had it looking and smelling nice and clean and sanitized shout out to the bathroom lady I don’t remember her name, but she did her thing. #7 Security (Not Playing No Games) Gotta be 30 and up I believe, Your being checked at the door . I could tell the have a great concern with making sure the environment stay cool and safe. Security staff was wonderful. #8 The Family Den is the place to be I highly recommend booking The Family Den for your next party event and or if you just want to come out to a nice fun environment and party . Thank you, Family Den For a wonderful experience
Good music, awesome DJ, The menu is delicious, The Den has take out, too. Bathrooms spotless, smell good too. Don't know about the men's facilities but the women's restroom had an attendant, with hand towels and flowers. Security was visible. Everyone in our group had a great time.
I had fish nuggets or something and would not get them again. This may be because I don't like the type of fish?? The perch was just too fishy for me. However, the drinks, crowd, and vibe make this place a standout. I've visited Chicago twice and went both times. Enjoyed it more than some of the big clubs I visited.
Denise, one of the Bar Managers makes sure all of her customers, patrons, staff and security are well taken care of!
Went here with some friends and had a great time the moment I walked through the door. Everyone was nice and having a good time. This place has been around for a number of years, so it's still a little dated, but... that's not a deal breaker. The DJ played a mixture of songs, and as the night progressed, the music changed and was still good! I recommend this place if you're looking for a spot with an older crowd and a mixture of music. I'll definitely be back.
Always a great time at Family Den. Food excellent. Drinks....excellent. It gets busy in the evenings and at night on the weekends.
