Last fall I had an early return flight after a trip to WI so booked a hotel convenient to ORD and north side/ north suburbs the night before. Chris’s was reasonably close and I checked it out. But where do you park. I couldn’t figure out if there was a lot you could use and some signs seemed to prohibit it in different areas. Wasn’t there long enough to need to figure it out. as I found street parking. For future reference, after getting a SuperDawg up Milwaukee Avenue, where do you park?
Member Chicago on here would be a great source of info. I turned my friends on to her for help at the last second, and not only was she a great help, but they all got together for a concert the next day and have been friends since. She is very knowledgeable on the present and past pool scene there.
Chris's or the private room is your best bet. Plenty of action for sure. When I walk in the door they are licking their chops to play me
All along Milwaukee Ave. You may have to walk a block.
Yeah I parked on Milwaukee ave. Can you feed the meter or do they ticket? I was in a two hour zone IIRC.

Hi Easy, Chris’s is the easiest and closest room to O’hare. Pool Sharks is private but I’m sure arrangements could be made.

this sounds like a death wish. I wouldn't leave my hotel room after dark in Chicago....anywhere in Chicago.
Chicago is very safe. It’s the safest place I’ve lived
It’s funny Patrick, My neighbors in Chicago asked me where I’ve lived that felt the safest. Chicago hands down. They were thinking about moving.
I’ve lived in various rural towns and also Atlanta, Wichita, ks, Denver, co, Oakland, ca.

I should read more carefully. easy-e and Patrick of course.
You're probably driving and not worrying about transit, but this thread makes me want to mention something fantastic about Chicago.
You can fly into either OHare or Midway and for $5 you can get a 24 hour pass that gives you unlimited L and bus rides. You can take the blue line from OHare as far as you want and get just about anywhere in the city for $0 more assuming you can walk a few blocks.
Where else can you get from your airplane to a pool room for $5? Certainly not NYC
