Great experiences. I had heard really good things and it lived up to its hype , the magicians are very talented and put on an exceptional show . Awesome venue , good drinks and food . Highly recommend a night out
My girlfriend and I had a blast celebrating our anniversary! Justin, Paige, and the house magicians were phenomenal!
We went for the first time tonight. Every performer was amazing!!!! The food was good, the waitstaff were nice and helpful, and we had a great time. Can't wait to go back!
We had a great time. The new venue is very nice. Stop in for a drink and a few magic tricks at the bar, or get show tickets and plan an evening out. The staff were all very friendly. Cocktails were actually reasonably priced at about $10 per drink, and better than I would have expected. The food was...
What just happened..... I still have no idea. Thanks for the excellent hospitality and performance. This place is a must see
My boyfriend and I just left. It was a surprise for his birthday, and it was easy to keep it a secret until the last second!!! The magicians were amazing, in particular David Kaplan and Bill Cook. Just astonishing. Will 100% be back
Yummy desserts and drinks! Fun show. Neat entrance. Love the old vibe!! Friendly staff!
This place was SO much fun! The speakeasy feel in the front is hilarious, the cutout in the bar just for table magic is awesome, and the theater is beautiful. I would highly recommend coming here whether you're a tourist or a local.
Truly outstanding! Great concept anchored by an excellent staff and phenomenal talent. From the close up magicians working the bar and tables to the headlining act, all the performers were consummate pros and had great audience rapor. highly, highly recommend. Spend the extra for the late show at th...
I can t say enough good things about this place. Perfect for date night, night out with the girls, or place to bring family. The staff was friendly, food was good, and the week night music and magic show was fun. You might be a bit confused walking in, but that s all part of the fun :)
Wow!! Best date night ever. Magicians are professional and amazing. They perform table side magic, bar magic and then there's a main stage show. The venue is intimate with vintage drinks and a small snack menu. If you're ready for something different, come here. It's also older family friendly so yo...
Fantastic Mother's Day performance..we loved the show, the venue, the service..
We will be back!
Oh Boy! What fun, the magic is back. A great escape. You won t believe it!
The magic show is pleased with the ones who want to watch. The show is really good.
Great spot, you can see magic and comedy and have drinks at the bar from open til their first show starts (500-730, iirc), then it's just drinks.They guy performing at the bar (The Great Bibick, I think) was REALLY GOOD. He was hilarious and the magic was fantastic. The paid show... Meh, the first h...
I had soooooo much fun here tonight! This was an absolutely wonderful show.
Such an excellent experience!! The atmosphere, the food, the close-up magic was all awesome! The show itself was outstanding - can't wait to go back!
All I can say is, "Wow!" I was allowed to preview the inside of this new club dedicated to the art of magic. Beautiful! Classy! Art Decco! A fantastic thowback to the days of Chicago's Speakeasy culture -- all with a magical twist. Wait til you see the secret passageway to enter!
I went on one of the "Music and Magic" nights, and was beyond impressed. The tableside magicians are so talented, and even when you are specifically looking for the misdirection, it's impossible to see how they do it.
They are kind and funny people, as well. I highly recommend this place to anyo...
This place is amazing, and I must visit place in Chicago! They have so many great magicians, great music, great food, and such a classy atmosphere. If you like magic, or just like good place to be entertained and feel cool, this is it!
I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. The magicians were phenomenal, the staff was friendly, and the drinks were reasonably priced. We'll definitely be back.
I love card magic but even if you don't love magic this place is so much fun. Have a drink at the bar and watch card tricks. Appetizers are good and drinks were good,too
Can't wait to go back!
Cocktails were delicious and decent price. Didn't get to see the magic show but there was some free up close card tricks at the bar which was pretty cool. The whole venue itself is definitely worth to check out.
If you are looking for something unique to do on your trip to Chicago, please consider going to The Magic Lounge. We had SO much fun and will 100% be back.
Cute and attractive place, magic and fabulous service, very rich all
One word.. AMAZING... just wonderful. Everyone has to come and visit this place at least once!!!!
So much fun and great service!
It was a great show and such a fun unique date night experience. If you're thinking about going GO! A great venue space with unique concept. I plan on going back and bringing others.
Best evening of entertainment in Chicago. No two shows are the same and you will be amazed every moment.
Wow. First of all the mentalist show was so good that everyone in the audience was shocked. Being so close to the stage and seeing act after act that we could not explain really made our evening magical. Thank you guys for an amazing evening! The drinks were quite agreeable as well
We have been seeing the Magic Lounge shows for over a year and a half together and are super excited for the new space.
So excited that we are having our wedding reception here- we were able to take a look inside and were blown away by the space! The cocktail menus and dining options are just as ...
We had a fantastic time entertained by the wittiest and most upbeat magicians ever.
It was amazing! Honestly, it was a great experience because we felt included; not just a spectator. I recommend this to everyone.
A magical hidden gem in unassuming Andersonville. Just pick up the phone and enter a fantastical world of friendly staff and mercurial cocktails.
This is such a unique and new experience. I went here on an outing with coworkers and had the best time. This is a great place for a alternative to the same old boring bar you go to every week. You are greeted with close-up magic and cocktails then given the complete experience with a history of mag...
Very entertaining shows and good food service. Excellent venue. All around good time
Wonderful show, great staff and service, really good food!
The most fun. Mad us laugh and the magic was awesome
If you're going to spend $11 on a drink in Andersonville, you might as well drink it here and be highly entertained at the bar!
And the official show was great! Get there on time for the tableside magic! Tip: those in the mezzanine seats got front row seats to the 654 Club show that immediately f...
Great fun entering & wonderful magic & comedy within. Look forward to going back soon!
The Chicago Magic Lounge's new theatre is unlike anything in the country! Having seen the amazing magic shows they've produced for years where they incorporate stage acts as well as classic Chicago Style Close-up Magic and imagining that show in this exciting new theatre space is something no Chica...
Just had such an amazing night at Chicago Magic Lounge! I was blown away by the magic and laughed so hard at the comedy sprinkled into the acts. I highly recommend this for a super fun time!
Unbelievably talented close up magicians. So excited for the new theater at 5050 N Clark to open!
Fantastic up close and bar magic in an amazing art deco space. Go for the extra for the 654 club, it's definitely worth it!
The Magic Lounge is a terrific place to visit. The magic acts are astounding, and the food and drink menu is terrific. One of the best parts is the 654 lounge and the chance to see magic up close. Make the journey up Clark St. and visit as soon as you can.
Absolutely loved it! Was amazed at the quality and wizardry that went down. The magic was unbelievable, the magicians were hilarious, the venue had an excellent vibe, the wait staff was top notch, the food and drink solid. Overall worth the cost of admission, would definitely go back again!
Absolutely loved this place! It is a hidden Chicago gem which we found from a Thrillist YouTube video on Chicago's secret menu as we were visiting from the UK. I say a hidden gem because you would not realise it was there we ended up walking straight past it and then when we found the entrance it wa...
What an incredible show! Everything was amazing from the one on one tricks at the bar to the main event I cannot recommend this place enough. Perfect date night!
If you are looking for a unique entertainment venue, this is the place. Magic at the bar, close-up magic, and a great stage show await you in this amazing nightclub. Do not miss this!
Attended the weekend show. Performers are excellent. The close up magic is amazing.
The atmosphere is perfect and the humor is top notch! Be sure to try the food while you're amazed and entertained!
Lots of fun! Mezzanine experience was really cool and worth the extra cost.
Outstanding performers. Outstanding food and drinks as well.
Given that they just opened earlier this month, we couldn't be more pleased. The service was exquisite, and the food and drinks were fantastic. The magic shows themselves incorporated enough humor to make it fun after 2-3 hours. This is absolutely worth your time and money. Do it.
Awsome magician, host and cocktails! The perfect place for a date night!
This is the best, most elegant magic experience west of the Magic castle in LA. Everything is wonderful, people are great, prices for food and drinks are reasonable as are the show tickets. The venue, which they constructed, pretty much from scratch is OVER the Top. You must go there to experience t...
Great drinks. Small show at the bar before the event. Great comedy. You can see from every seat. Loved the small magic tricks at each table. Definitely recommend the after show.
Such a fun night. Is a great date night or for a small group. A small bar, with magic at the bar and then a fantastic show. Creative drinks and small plates.
This place has atmosphere, it has all the entertainment, great food and drinks you can handle! It's a BIG BANG of fun. This place is a home run. It's a must see!
Absolutely fantastic. 2nd time I've been back in less than 6 months and it was completely different.
You will Not like it... Unless you are a 7 year old
Purchased 4 tickets in January for a May 2020 show. This was honestly going to be a highlight of my vacation to Chicago. Now, the show has been totally cancelled due to co-vid. Unfortunately, despite this "act of God" this vendor refuses to give me a refund to my original payment method, despite sev...
Such a great experience!!!!!!! This was my first time attending a show at the magic lounge and it was phenomenal! Our waitress JESS was so great and sweet and accommodating and made my mom ( who s birthday it was ) felt so incredibly special. I thank you so much. Even the manager KELLY came over to ...
My partner and I have been to two separate shows and have had an exceptional time. I recommend the Chicago Magic Lounge to everyone! The magic is excellent!!
Wow. I really recommend this for a terrific night out...esp for a group of 4-6 people...although duos are given equal attention by the accomplished magicians. Every night there is a different show presented...look at their site. Food is really good, and generous for the price. Drinks are excellent ...
So much fun. Pretty well priced food and drinks too
An immersive evening of excellent customer interaction, misdirection and mirth. Menu is not overdone, but extremely tasty dishes that excel at anchoring down a plethora of house drinks and a lengthy wine menu.
The house magicians circulated robustly during the preshow seating and settling in.

We came for my anniversary and had a fantastic time. It's like a speak easy, even the entrance is disguised, then you're escorted into another section of behind secret entrance. Just very well thought out and entertaining!!
Awesome experience! I recommend buying the premium seating where you get to see the backstage show.
What a wonderful place this is. Good drinks, great performances, and excellent ambiance. The food is small portioned and high price, for those who enjoy that. My only downside is that many of the magicians that come around for close-up magic seemed to focus on larger groups and pass by our two-perso...
Was good. I was expecting more depth to the tricks though.
The coolest place I've ever been. I had no idea what to expect and the entire experience blew my mind. My only complaint was that the show wasn't longer!
SO.MUCH.FUN! My husband got tickets for my birthday and it was just the BEST time. I'm pretty sure I was smiling/giddy from the minute we showed up. Even better? The price doesn't break the bank! You can have a really fun night out without paying an arm and a leg. I'll definitely keep CML in mind wh...
Awesome date night!! My wife was completely surprised and honestly I was too. Feels like a piece of history coming alive again.
Our neighborhood association, ASNA, had a social outing here last night and we all absolutely loved it. It's stunning inside, the magic is spectacular and a lot of fun. Our neighbor said he hasn't laughed that much in years. We were all blown away by the magicians. Such great skill and talent. We w...
Great atmosphere, and very entertaining for both kids and adults. Highly recommend!
