Our Story

Perched high above the city on the 66th and 67th floors of the iconic Willis Tower, the former Sears Tower, The Metropolitan is where Chicago’s business leaders, tastemakers, and social trailblazers have come together for more than 50 years. More than just a premier city club, it’s a hub for meaningful connections and elevated experiences—whether you’re growing your network over cocktails, unwinding with sips and swings at our golf simulators, or sparking new friendships with like-minded peers. Members enjoy exclusive access to VIP events, including lively mixers, wine and spirits showcases, live music, and curated networking experiences designed to inspire both business and social growth.

As times have evolved, so has the Club, reaffirming what we value most: connection, purpose, and impact.

What a beautiful place to eat and see the views of Chicago. Our food was excellent. Our service was excellent.

— Kimberly G. |

Outstanding service for members — the staff makes it a point to know everyone and provide personalized service, and the dues are far more reasonable than some private clubs with far fewer services... A great place to hold a meeting, have a meal with a client or guest, sit down and work for a few hours, or to attend regular events.

— Charles D. |

It’s a beautiful club. The views are amazing of the whole city and they have events at the Metropolitan club all the time. There’s also a room with a golf simulator as well as a little lounge where you can enjoy.
