Love this place. Food and beverages are overpriced and they can crank up the a/c more otherwise I absolutely love the vibe and the staff is friendly. Definitely a classier jazz club. Not your average nightclub at all. The place is filled with nostalgia. Highly recommend! Note: the cover charges can be a little steep. Paid $15 just the other week. Still though, 2+ hours of live music and dancing is worth it to me given the atmosphere.

We go here yearly for my wife’s holiday party. It’s always a great time. Friendly staff and good food. Great place for events.

Well, let’s hold onto the memory. Naperville needs a Hey Nonni’s like in Arlington Heights. Upscale, honors and supports musicians. I suspect after so many years the owner was burned out. I thank him for what used to be and hope he considers just speaking out on here so some have closure and he fades out in a way that honors how great this place was once upon a time. I wish the city could recruit the owner on hey nonni”s in Arlington Heights to connect to someone who may be interested in bringing a real live music venue to Naperville. Someone has to be out there wanting to bring an upscale experience that honors artists! Hey nonnis concept of memberships with first dibs on shows is fine to keep things stable.
Or a promoter working with mason sabika or something! Fitzgerald partners with parkdistricts for jazz happy hour weekend shows. Maybe Fitzgeralds can sponsor events in Frankies space and organize the promotion communication. Ya know, my friend owns supperclubs in the city
Supperclub and real Jazz Club. Maybe they know someone. I know it’s such hard work!

Pricey drinks but they has terrapin flyer playing so they gotta have good taste. Stage area was neat and it they have a pit like area. Decor was nice. Closes very early and I was made sure I knew that by multiple people. I get it is downtown naperville. Not a lot of parking by the place so you may have to walk a little to park. Overall a nice time, just wish the event didn’t end so early.

Frankie, I love the idea of live music in Naperville, but why do you hate your customer so much? I can never find anything on your website just put a simple list of upcoming events and the prices for the cover, please. And how about bringing back some Salsa music?

The food is your average pub food. The servers were spread thin but working hard. The atmosphere/venue for a show made it a fun night.

We enjoy live music, good food and good drinks. Frankie’s throws in really great staffers, a cool throwback ambiance, a comfortable crowd level, and in the heart if Naperville, reasonable prices on food and libations.
A young staffer there, Peyton, deserves special mention. She stopped to fix a wobble on our table. Wasn’t her area or her job, but she noticed it, fixed it, made sure we were comfortable and continued her job. While Peytons example is superior, the staff there seems to follow that example.
Sit, drink, eat, dance, enjoy. Fun date place!

A little warm inside. Went to hear the band. Seating is OK. Nice mixed crowd of all ages. Really chill place if you just want to relax to some live music.

First timer: I saw The Home Wreckers this past Saturday. I want to recognize them first. Their transitions are flawless! All 4 of the members have God-given talents and are using them! I would follow them wherever they go. (I felt horrible I did not have cash to tip!) Frankies is amazing as well. I got there early and it was low-key. You wanna get a good seat before it fills up later. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great. Ro kicked but moving from table to table. I would suggest buying a bottle of wine. (Apprx.30bux) Larry seemed very in-tune with the crowd as he watched the door, as well as, helped assist the server as he bounced through the dancing customers. This portrays an experienced Manager doing more than just one task at a time. I will go here every time I get the chance!

A $7 drink was charged $8.50 and when I asked why a higher price was charged, response was “I don’t make the price, go talk to the manager”. Manager did come out and perform a refund. It appears that Friday and Saturday night brings out the worst bartenders in town.
