Review from andy m.

This is an impressive bar. It is way better than many of your Chicago bars as this bar is like the energizer bunny. it keeps going an going an going. I have never seen a bar stretch as much. If I was still in my twenties i would go to this often. it is fairly close to where i live though it's location is bad. It is in a non-descriptive ugly strip mall in an ugly suburb. I give credit for the owner for trying. It has been closed alot in the summer for some reason, but I hope they open eraly for football season. The food is good and they have plenty of TV screens where you can catch every game in some corner. It is definately a sports bar come noon on sunday. As far as the rest of the week, weenends the parking lot is fairly empty. Come support this great bar folks, there is not much to do in glendale heights.

We went to Double Vision for a private event. It was very oddly coordinated by the staff. But I should start with parking. DV is located in a small strip mall with few spaces. Every other store has a "no bar parking" sign in "their" section of the lot. DV's spaces were all full at 9:30. I don't know what happened, but people were parked to allow double and quadruple parking. Then when someone did, they got towed. (It's almost like it was a set up to earn revenue, if you ask me.) The Valet Parking sign did say "Complimentary", but was poorly covered up by some post its that said "$3".
We found a spot (on our way out, the valet guys claimed it as theirs) and went in. The place is new, but has a very odd atmosphere crossing modern with Cocktail neon. There's a waterfall wall when you walk in, the floors look like slick travertine. We tell them we're here for the X event, we're escorted through a Labyrinth of tables (few patrons - whose cars are those?) to a back room, where there's a guy by a cash register. We want to buy the 3 hour open bar bracelet for $25 (plus an 18% gratuity). Nope - have to pay the host (in this case, my sister), and they pay the bar. Huh? So the host has to demand cash from her guests? Why can't the guy handing out bracelets do it? No clear response from the manager du jour. I wish I could say he was a young nave punk, but he's a 30 year old guy who puts bracelets on people for a living. Do I need to explain further? Oh - shots aren't included with the open bar bracelet, either.
So they take everyone's names as they're getting bracelets, and collect cash from them. (if they don't "sell" 30 bracelets or whatever, they have to pay the difference.) The music was too loud and terrible. I know what you're thinking - only geezers say the music is too loud. But the place was empty at 10. 4 people in the back room. Does it really need to be at a deafening decibel? Really? Take the empty dance floor as a hint - no one likes the shit you're playing. The "DJ" said too many times "let's kick it old schooooool". Gag. It was laughable. We left around 12:30. I guess it was kind of crowded in the main room when we were leaving, but the place is new, and there aren't really too many other clubs around. (Excepting Shark City - niiiiice.)
I heard there were some fights after I left. That would have been the highlight of my night. I give this place 2 months, and I think I'm being generous.
