Score
Going back to 2014, Holiday Club has 15 inspections in the public record. On Apr 23, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around seven violations each, up from closer to four violations before.
“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing eight times across the record.
Among Chicago restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
