Valentine’s Day is great and all… but let’s be honest,
This year, Metropolis Ballroom in Arlington Heights is hosting a Galentine’s Day Brunch that’s all about friendship, family, and making time for the people you actually want to sit next to at brunch.
Stylish tables, signature cocktails, a crave-worthy menu, and just enough sparkle to justify dressing up on a Saturday morning.
And yes, moms are absolutely invited.
A Galentine’s Day Brunch in Arlington Heights
That’s More Than Just Mimosas
Set inside the elegant, Art Deco-inspired Metropolis Ballroom, this Galentine’s Day Brunch blends elevated dining with a relaxed, social atmosphere. It’s not rushed. It’s not overcrowded. It’s the kind of brunch where conversations linger, glasses clink, and everyone leaves saying, “We should do this more often.”
Whether you’re planning a girls’ day out, a mother-daughter brunch, or a mix of both, this event is designed to feel special without feeling stuffy.
What’s on the Menu?
Let’s talk brunch! Metropolis Ballroom doesn’t phone this part in.
Guests will enjoy a full-service brunch buffet featuring:
First Course
Soup or salad
Individual mini charcuterie boards with cured meats, cheeses, fresh berries, and assorted crackers
Entrées
Sundried Tomato & Roasted Chicken Focaccia (open-faced and packed with flavor)
Bucatini Aglio Olio — a simple, elegant vegetarian option
Truffle Triple Grilled Cheese served with rich mornay sauce
Dessert
Mr. Darcy’s Cheesecake
Individual cheesecake topped with mixed berry compote, raspberry coulis, and chantilly cream
Yes, dessert gets its own moment, as it should.
Cocktails, Conversation & a Traveling Bar Cart
No Galentine’s celebration is complete without cocktails, and this brunch features a traveling bar cart offering drinks tableside. Specialty cocktails like the Gal Pal Strawberry Mimosa and Espresso Martini are available, along with a full cash bar.
It’s interactive, it’s fun, and it makes every toast feel intentional.
Why Galentine’s Day at Metropolis Ballroom Just Works
Metropolis Ballroom is known throughout the Chicagoland area for unforgettable weddings and milestone celebrations, but seasonal brunch events like this showcase another side of the venue: warm, welcoming, and perfect for shared moments.
Many guests already know the ballroom from Easter Brunches, Mother’s Day brunches and family celebrations, which makes Galentine’s Day the perfect excuse to come back with a new group and a new reason to celebrate.
Friends, moms, daughters, everyone fits right in.
