At The Heart of Hunters


AT THE HEART OF HUNTERS
At the heart of Hunters Nightclubs are not cocktails, drinks, music or videos. 
At the heart of Hunters Nightclubs are people.
People are our soul, give us our spirit and character. 
People breathe life into a room of barstools & glasses. 
People bring Hunters alive, saturate it with its exclusive, uncommon and, yes,
exceptional personality.

I am so very proud of our people!
I’d like to take this moment to personally thank each and every member of our Hunters team,
both in Palm Springs and Chicago. Your ongoing daily efforts, hard work, dedication and continual
professionalism mirror your own pride, loyalty and devotion to our Hunters family.
After recently studying what’s behind daily operations at both locations, I feel certain that we
currently employ the strongest, most compassionate and caring staff that we’ve had for many,
many years.

At Hunters Palm Springs, manager Jennifer Seymour (also a co-owner) 
deserves special mention
for working hard to bring the positive Hunters experience to every patron. Her entire team also
Patrick R., Rene G., Spike C., Thomas B., Tom W., Troy H., Troy T., and Wayne M. Jeff H., 
Jim G., John B., Jorge, Juan C., Kevin K., 
merits praise: Anthony B., Bob C., Brandon V., Chris W., Eddie M., Evette D., Heather K., Herbie M.,
Kristine W., Mary B., Miguel C., Mike D., Paris A.

In Chicago, our stellar manager Tom Cloutier, as well as the complete crew there, have also
certainly earned my grateful thanks and praise: Alex G., Amanda R., Bill L., Brad B., Brian A., Brook
A., Chris A., Emil B., Jack H., Jason C., Justine R., Matt L., Ron G., Russ E., Sean P., Steve Z., Tarah L.,
Trini G., Vince E.

On another note, you’ve noticed Hunters Nightclubs
has noticeably progressed this year in many
ways: publishing on our website our “Promise,” which strengthens the bond with our customers;
initiating a new tagline, “Spirits Elevated;” and affirming a renewed dedication from all of our staff
to every individual patron. These are all building blocks in our tower of success.

Finally, I must comment on something we all have marveled at: how extraordinary our patrons
are! Friendly, respectful, warm, caring, fun-loving...what an unexpected pleasure in the nightclub
industry! We are indebted and grateful to them, for we would never have survived a single night,
much less 30 years in Chicago and 13 years in Palm Springs, without each and every one of them.
All these relationships occurring on both sides of the bar have meshed to create, quite amazingly,
one big and very happy family.
Last but not least, I want to thank my partner in life, Patrick. 
Without him nothing would be possible.

If you’ve seen me in person lately, you’ve definitely caught me smiling...and will continue to do so.
Why? Look in the mirror...it’s because of YOU, and because of all of our people.
I can only humbly thank you, as I embrace you all in my heart.

Warmly,
Mark Hunter

  1. I have been working at Hunters Palm Springs for 12 years and I am one of the bar managers, I am so proud of our staff, management team and owners. It is a joy to go to work and meet new customers and also our loyal customers and make them one of our great cocktails and watch them enjoy their time with us. The weekends are lots of fun and the DJ's keep the dance floor jumping with great dance music and people love to relax on our beautiful patio as well. Truly The Heart of Hunters is people, from the employees, management, owners, but most of all the customers which makes Hunters Palm Springs a wonderful place to be and work. We hope to see you soon and until then cheers!
