The health department has logged four inspections at High-Hat Club, the earliest from 2010. High-Hat Club was last inspected on Dec 1, 2016. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. High-Hat Club's record stops at Dec 1, 2016, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around six violations each.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, showing up three times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
