High Risk

The health department has logged 14 inspections at The Standard Club, the earliest from 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Apr 29, 2019. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about. No fresh inspection data is available: the latest entry for The Standard Club dates to Apr 29, 2019.

Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around four violations lately and about eight violations before that.

When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited 15 times.

Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so The Standard Club trails the local norm. Diners may want to weigh the inspection history when deciding to visit.
