Rhythm Rockets @ Club Arcada with NICOLE KESTLER!

 —  —

Club Arcada Speakeasy, 105 East Main Street, St Charles, IL

Our dear friend and band member, Nicole Kestler, will be coming out of retirement, flying into Chicago to fill in on vocals for the weekend! Grewat opportunity to say "Hello" to her.

If you’re looking to step into something more than your typical night out, Club Arcada in downtown St. Charles delivers a one-of-a-kind experience that feels like a time machine to the Roaring ’20s. Tucked away on the third floor of the historic Arcada Theatre building, this speakeasy-style restaurant and lounge wraps you in vintage glamour the moment you walk in — think flapper-era décor, bartenders shaking up handcrafted cocktails, and live music that keeps the energy buzzing most evenings. Alongside classic favorites, the kitchen serves elevated dishes like charcuterie boards, shrimp cocktail, and Italian-inspired plates that pair perfectly with the atmosphere. What really keeps people coming back isn’t just the vibe — it’s the lineup of entertainment and themed nights that give every visit a sense of occasion. Many nights invite you to linger late with light bites and dancing after dinner, making it as much a destination for date nights as it is for celebrating with friends. With its blend of historical charisma and lively programming, Club Arcada stands out as one of St. Charles’ most memorable nightlife spots. Club Arcada will be open from 5PM to Midnight. Our dinner menu is available until about 10:30pm. We offer a lite bites menu from 10:30pm to close. If you chose to stay for the live entertainment beginning at 8:30pm, the entertainment fee is $15. Reservations strongly encouraged!
