Editorial Description by Citysearch
In Short
The spruced-up dining room seems worlds away from the frenetic club. A coat of chartreuse softens the exposed brick walls. Dark, cushy banquettes and white-clothed tables encircle the square room. With its raised stage, long bar and expensive sound system, the club has all the makings of a Chicago classic. But if you actually want to hear the music, bring an ear trumpet, sit up front, and don't even think of going Thursday through Saturday.

Green Dolphin  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Jerry J. | insider Insider | Rank: 18,193

I have been to the Green Dolphine quite a few times. My reason for my return is the diversity in people and the entertainment. I usually go on club nights; the music is good and the crowd is decent. Nice place to hang out and meet new people.

An evening's entertainment, diverse crowd  4 Star Rating - Very good

By D. L. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 5,795

The Green Dolphin offers a full night's entertainment--dinner in their restaurant, drinks and dancing and live performances after. The crowd is attractive because people in their 20s as well as people in their 60s+ go there. When the weather is nice, they open it up so you can sit outside and listen to the jazz and talk . . .. Everyone I have taken there has been favorably impressed. A nice date place.

Energetic jazz performances  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Kimberly S. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 4,180

Although this is a restuarant, I have only been in the bar area for jazz performances. It's a fun atmosphere and the performances have always been excellent. Since it is in the bar area, there is a good chance it will get smokey. A slightly older crowd.

PROS: A fun time for a group
CONS: Seats are often reserved

Extra charges on my credit card! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By ChicagoA

Check your credit card statements!! I bought $25 worth of drinks and decided to tip the bartender in cash. I checked my credit card statement and they billed me $50!! When I called to ask them to reverse the extra $25, they actually had the nerve to give me attitude and told me to take it up with my credit card company! No apology, no regret for my inconvenience, nothing! Be careful. If that's they way they do business, they don't deserve any. I will not only be boycotting this place from now on (and I've gone there a lot), I will also be telling my friends to do the same.

WORST CLUB EVER! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By Jessi21

Okay so I went to Green Dolphin last Saturday (club).... First of all they charge $20.00 to get in which it is not worth at all. 1) Trashy!!!!!!! 2) Trashy 3)Trashy!!!!!!!!!
People dress so scrubby, I seen some people with gym shoes. Yuck! People are rude and guys are perves and they have a tendency to grab what they are not supposed to!
I don't understand how can you charge $20 for admission, this club should just be called "The Trashy clowns" and it should just let the homeless in might as well because they sure will blend in with the people anyway!

I will never ever go there again!

Pros: NONE
Cons: TRASHY PEOPLE

I Had an AMAZING time! Highly Recommended on Friday Nights! 4 Star Rating - Very good

By LJ360

Hello everyone, this is my first time writing a review but anyway my 1st time every going to green dolphin street was this past Friday and I had so so so much fun! I could say this was my 1st time every enjoying myself to the fullest going to a club. I didn't know it was actually a restaurant until reading the other reviews but I went after the restaurant hrs were over but the atmosphere was excellent, it was spacious through out the club and there were about 5 bars and 3 different areas of the club played different music so the atmosphere was never boring. The main dance floor did get kind of extra crowded but it was still fun and they even opened up the VIP area for everyone. And people don't take forever to show up, there was a line out the door @ 11:30 when I arrived and it stays open til 4 AM. I would recommend anyone to go to this club on a FRIDAY night if you want to have a good time, young or middle-aged, and don't have to worry about it being super crowded, rude people or annoying men or women. BUT be prepared to spend money on drinks, they all average about $10 a piece and that's just for reg. drinks ex: long island ice tea or remy and coke.

Pros: The atmosphere and the ample amount of bars
Cons: Having one of the coat checks in the ladies bathroom
