Great time!

What a great place! Went to Close Up 2 on Clark and Van Buren for a couple of drinks with co-workers and had a fantastic time! The club is bright and very stylish. The martinis are wonderful and the perfect thing after a hard days of work. And the jazz gives the club the perfect ambiance for some networking.

Just A Bit More Lite

A little over a year ago former co-workers took me to the club for drinks prior to my retirement. The live music and wait staff were great. I also started a jazz club crawl from this location and wanted to stay all evening. My only complaint is that the lighting in the table area is (was) a little to dim.

Excellent

I visited Close up 2 about 2 months ago, and I had an excellent time. The look and style of the place was unique. Also, the service was friendly and punctual. My drink of choice (Sprite on the rocks) was a little exspensive, but overall it was well worth it. Just to let know; I am going back tonight!!!

Excellent music, great ambiance, wonderful service, the best value in the loop for live smooth/contemporary jazz music. I don't know where they find these bands but they are great! A must visit club if you love contemporary/smooth jazz.

Great Place

I am a Jazz fan. Anywhere that plays Jazz I love but, this place place has a little more. It has a comfy atmosphere, great service, and good drinks. It's missing one thing, they don't serve any food but it would be a great after work meet up place or a great place to go after dinner. Check it out I can see myself becoming a regular here.

CU2 is a unique jazz club in that you are made to feel that you are the most important person that walked through the door. The jazz is excellent!

Relaxed atmosphere with great service. Full bar with extensive wine/bubbly list. If you're looking for a place for socializing with friends to corporate hob nogging, this is a good choice. Ordering take out from nearby restaurants is the ONLY drawback.

This is one of the most upscale, sexy, relaxed spots in the city. Service is great and music is always amazing. Great live concert for the value. They make a mean chocolate martini.
