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!

My experience at Beyond Sweet is always phenomenal. The service was top tier and the food even better. I invited two newcomers with me and they shared the same experience. Beyond Sweet never misses and it has become a weekly thing for me!! Pictured is the grilled red snapper and it was incredible!! Full of flavor. The fried snapper is also great!!

Always a good bet for a quick meal. Great cocktails and sandwiches. Noise level on this visit ,however, was brutal. A part of 12 in the same room were just way too loud.
