Inspired by bold designs of the Roarin 20’s and Art Deco 30’s, Chase Club at the historic Chase Park Plaza Hotel invokes the original spirit of times past. As Prohibition ended, the pendulum swung back to indulging & entertainment (Live Music, Great Food and Free Flowing Alcohol). Influenced by the Speakeasys and extravagant style of a bygone era, the concept for Chase Club was born.
Chase Club features a well crafted gastro-pub menu, a huge bar, a dining area with large adjoining patio overlooking the Chase Park Plaza pool, and even a outdoor fireplace with seating area to keep you toasty on chilly nights. Big screen TVs and plush seating provide the perfect lounging atmosphere for an afternoon or evening of sports. Chase Club evokes an easier time with big style design, quality food and drink, and lively bands every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. Enjoy brunch favorites every Saturday and Sunday!

    The food was AMAZING! Greg , our server, was beyond incredible: attentive without hovering. Only thing I will suggest to possible diners. If you are with a supper club that has a couple to many cocktails before, this might not be your night out. Very quite and absolutely for a quite dinner with significant or even a family or work dinner. Overall 5 stars all the way.

    The Chase Club is such a fantastic experience each time we've visited. The vintage room, beautiful bar, first class service (shout out to Greg, Camille, Kanok and Isabel for taking great care of us as usual), and wonderful food (the red bird is our fav and big enough to share). Well done and we'll be back!
