The Water Tower Club
Written by @AceAstro
Guests enter the Chicago wing to find The Water Tower Club (named after The Chicago Water Tower on Michigan Avenue). Guests enter to see a relatively small room complete with wooden décor, a wooden bar, and velvet walls (much like the picture above). The most notable part of the room is the stage at the far end of the room. It is notable that the building has no windows (in order to not make it obvious to the police what is happening inside).
The Water Tower Club isn't a large lounge by any means. Between seats at the bar, a few booths across from the bar, and the tables around the stage, the seating capacity in the bar is only about 55 people. Like with other Disney hotel bars, minors are allowed into the lounge up until 8 PM.
Like with all Speakeasy's, music is a key factor in building the atmosphere. Throughout the day/ early afternoon, light jazz can be heard throughout the lounge to welcome guests in for a relaxing meal/drink.
At night, however, the bar comes alive. Most nights, guests can find The American Hustlers, the hotel's in-house Jazz band. The American Hustlers bring in the same jazz as before but also have a female lead singer (much like the picture on the right).
Some examples of songs they sing are below:
Every Tuesday and Thursday night guests won't find The American Hustlers. Instead, guests can find guest bands from all over the country playing their own jazz flair.
