Hello
Can you recommend a bridge club in Chicago? Preferably in the central area.

Recommend, no, because I don't know them. But you can get a listing from the ACBL.

I live in Chicago. Can you narrow down what you're looking for in a bridge club a bit more (day of week/time of day/demographics/size / importance of hand records/bridgemates/good director / strength of field)?

Back in 87 when I was at UoC, there was a good game in IHouse...

The IHouse game no longer exists (and hasn't for at least 15 years I think). The University has an open game Wednesday nights while school is in session but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to everyone (fun and a lot of good young players...but also ACBL superchart, board time limits as in Fast Pairs, self-enforcement of active ethics including defensive tempo, no guaranteed partners). Again, sort of depends what one is looking for.

Ideally large field with good players 
But the main criterium is that it be in the center. I am just travelling in chicago this week and thought maybe to give it a try

Depends on how long you're here - for a large field with good players, your best bet is the Sunday afternoon game at the Chicago Bridge Center (900 N. Franklin, Suite 407).
If you can only play weeknights then you're stuck with the Thursday night game (not a bad field, but kind of small and a bit slow - same address).
If you're willing to travel a bit outside Chicago proper (e.g. Skokie) there are a couple of decent games Wednesday and Friday nights.

Does anyone know somewhere I could get my mum a few games of bridge near the Wicker Park area? She's no Zia but she's very very nice.
