“12/3/25 night Brother from Texas and me. Fantastic Bar, best small town drinking place, “Great” Selections. Scott the Bartender is very personable/funny almost like someone I would hang out with. We group of 4 went Lunar Brewing couple of times 20 years ago, my brother and been talking about coming back. Today after leaving noisy,yuppy, pricy Yardhouse. We opted to Lunar, now I found new pub to spend our weekend chilly brewing after 30 years @ Brixies Saloon (Brookfield) which personally closed to me in 2017. I reside in Romeoville/ Plainfield since 2004. Nothing out there, Really“

“This dive bar is a breath of fresh air in a world of overpriced, trendy spots. Here, the beer is cold, the conversation flows easily, and the atmosphere is pure, unadulterated dive bar. No fancy cocktails to be found, just a solid selection of beers, including the newly added Yuengling on tap, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay all night. They also offer a few liquors for basic mixed drinks or for those who like to drink their liquor neat.“

“Great place No BS great people tons of fun“

“low key bar for peace of mind“

“This is a go to bar. Forget the corporate ba, real people, real service. You go there twice they will know your drink. Amazing live music, and otherwise a great place to watch sports games. Jeremy is a great owner/bartender, and his staff truly goes above and beyond most dive bars. It's not a dive bar as it's clean and open. Neighborhood bar with character, class, and cheap drinks. Just rip the great bartenders so they stay. Totally a hidden gem in dupage county. City people can also come as it's 200 feet from the train ...“
