“Fantastic local upscale bar that is classy and cozy. Bartenders are knowledgeable on different spirits and owner Jerry is always making sure all experiences are great ones. Love the summertime parking lot parties or just a quiet evening enjoying a crafted cocktail with husband or friends.“
“Nice local bar to hang out at. They’re biker friendly but cater to all people. On several weekends they usually have live music which they did when we were there. The beers are only two dollars for a draft and they have a full food menu as well. Nice slot machines in the back and very friendly atmosphere. We like coming here and recommend to anyone who wants to have a good time.“
“OMG ! This place is AMAZING !!??Very welcoming , BURGERS ? ? FOOD ?, service, EVERYTHING! It’s the greatest! Servers are very nice . And they know all the menu. So if you don’t know what to get , they are great to tellYou what is best !“
“For the uninitiated,1st don't feel bad because before I ate here I was uninitiated too--But, the tacos here ROCK!!!If you don't dig these tacos you can punch my brother in his face!!Just don't tell him about this post....Seriously,these tacos are a-mazing!The service and everything else was a stellar production too!“
“We always enjoy coming here. We recently hosted a surprise birthday party here and it was excellent. It's a beautiful place, very roomy and comfortable. Food and drink were fresh and full for the duration of the party. My husband loves the Cajun pasta, I often order the salmon BLT (sooo good!) And my kids love that they can order a Shirley Temple here :)“
“This place is truly a gem in the south suburbs! If you're not local it's worth the drive. Really a fun place to enjoy delicious food, great drinks, and excellent music! The owners and staff are friendly, welcoming, and attentive. If the eclectic decor could speak, I'm sure it'd have some epic stories to tell! If you're looking to have a good time in a cool spot, this place will check all the boxes!“
“I absolutely love the self-serve/pay by volume system here. I had never been anywhere like this, and it is so much fun to be able to try as many different beers as you like. Plus, the food is great and everyone is very welcoming. Can't wait to come back!“
“First time there, a couple days ago. This place is great,good vibes, super friendly people best place I've been to in a long time. The bartender the drinks, are awesome and music is great. Can't wait to go back.my new favorite place when I'm in “
“They have been redeemed! I went back and did the tour. Trevor was very hospitable. The place has a rich in history. We tried rum, whiskey, bourbon and Pecan whiskey. The food was delicious, I had the bbq bourbon burger. He even comped us a very delicious bundt cake dessert! I described it as, "a mouth-gasm."“
“Doc's is the kind of place where you've got people from out of town in, and they want BBQ. And you want a huge variety of tap craft beers . Or you want to go there just for the beer. Surprisingly, they also have a huge whiskey selection as well. Oh, the BBQ, very good. Pig wings are flash fried smoked wings. They are fantastic. Everything else is wonderful, brisket, pulled pork and the sides. All at a reasonable price. Service.... Staff is very knowledgeable, especially the bartender who knows a thing or two about the liquor he serves. Great place ??“
“We eat here weekly. The pizza is the best in the Southland. The bar has a "Cheers" vibe where all are welcome. Pizza is half off on Tuesday and every one in town knows that's the best dinner option! Don't take my word for it, you really must try it out!“
“Such a laid back place, that’s full of fun!I can not decide what’s better, the Beef sandwich or the meatballs! I wish I took a picture before I started to demolished the meal, but I couldn’t stop eating after the first bite! THANK YOU LISA! You are AMAZING!“
“Great local bar. Good food and decent specials during the week. Be prepared this bar is not fancy by any means. If you're looking for a shot and a beer joint this is it. Let me not forget to mention the pool tables. Looking for a game? Rack 'em up!“
“A friend brought me here for the first time, specifically for the pot roast dishes. I had the Flatbread and it is delicious! It is a bar, and has limited space, but for 2 of us at lunchtime we had the whole back room that was quiet. Cici was super nice and attentive. We very much enjoyed our visit.“

“Last night we traveled from Dekalb to tour this distillery. I wish we would have allowed more time. The tour we excellent, rich in history. The cocktails, as well as the spirits they produce were top shelf. We will definitely be back to sample the food. The tour alone was worth the hour and a half drive.“
“First time here and I must say it exceeded my expectations. Traveled about 25 minutes to check this place out and it went very well. Customer service was on point. The menu has alot of delicious options. They also have good mixed drinks. Reasonably priced. Wait time was not long at all. They have a bar you can sit at and eat. They had music. Not too loud just good enough to hear. The vibe was decent. They have tables and booths. They also have slots. And an ATM machine. Bathroom was clean. Just wish they had more than 2 stalls because sometimes there's a waitBut overall I would highly recommend this place.“
“Just ate here not long ago and I LOVED the food! I had the chicken strips and seasoned curly fries. The decorations were nice too! It wasn't to bright and flash or too dark and boring, it was perfectly lit and had great tv channels and music! The staff was also VERY kind! Hope to eat here again some time.“
“I've been wanting to stop in this place in the old village of Brunswick for some time. Yelp reports this as closed, but it's open and the hours on this page are accurate. I finally made it here last night. Brunswick is an old German settlement that was founded in the mid 1800's. It's about two miles west of Cedar Lake/US 41, along 133rd/135th Avenue. The tavern sits at the southeast corner of 135th and Calumet Avenue. You can tell that the building is very old, but kept in very nice condition. We arrived around 6:30 PM, came in through the back door and settled up to the old bar. The owners were watching TV at the bar, waiting to serve those who came in. The menu is very simple: a good selection of domestic bottles (Miller, Bud, Coors, etc.) and a few imports (Grolsch, Warsteiner). The owners were very nice and we talked about the history of the tavern and Brunswick. According to the owner, this has been a continually-operated tavern since 1856, when it served as a stop for stagecoach travel. The tavern was very clean and had a lot of neat, old swag including a vintage Old Style light fixture. Beers were reasonably priced. It doesn't appear they serve anything but bottled/canned beer and lemonade, but definitely worth the stop for a cold beer. I'll be back next time I'm in the area!“
“The first thing you notice when you enter is the décor. It has tools, mechanical and engine parts decorated throughout the place. The bar is long with plenty of seating and yes it's loaded with tools on the seats and even embedded in the actual bar. In the afternoon the place is packed with regulars and it is real clicky. If you're not with the in crowd, wait a few visits and you will eventually be accepted amongst the rest of the tools. The south end of the bar is called skid row and the north end is considered contractors row. I'm convinced that if you take a picture in there on any weekday and come back a month later it would look identical. The warm weekends attract a lot of bikers and it's a frequent stop for bike runs and bar crawls. The bartenders are worth the visit. Jo who works in the afternoon on Sat. is the moneymaker for the bar, she's supermodel hot and a pro at her craft. You can find T (who is also hot), working weekday afternoons running her lip like a truck driver while pretending to manage the place. A few other hotties are scattered throughout different night shifts and the owner even pops in from time to time to show the bartenders how easy it is to be super nice to people, but they never listen. Overall, this bar has a legendary cast of characters with funny nick names who have been regulars for a decade. I go to enjoy some of the funniest daytime drama to start off my Saturdays.“
“It's a small town bar with what I believe are regulars. It hasn't been updated....well, maybe once a long time ago. It seems everybody knows each other, but some younger people are coming in to eat too. Their food is good, but the cheeseburgers are to die for!“
“Came into town for a wedding and ducked in here before checking into hotel. The bloody mary spot on. Service friendly and attentive. Establishment looked clean. We didn't eat, but people around us ordered everything looked delish. Would be happy to come back here the next time we're in town.“
“Checked this place out online before visiting, very good experience, food was excellent, tried the catfish, my had the bacon wrap, good service, only thing I didn't like was the music was a little too loud, but that's way it's a bar and grill.“
“Went there after a round of golf nearby and picked this place outta the blue and was extremely surprised how good it was. The four of us had some beers and 3 ordered food. 2 of had the chicken sandwich and it was the best and biggest grilled chicken sandwich I ever had! Had an order of onion rings and those were awesome as well. I'll bet everything on the menu would be the same. The bartender was great and really took care of anything we needed. Damn good place.“
“neighbor store, great service friendly employee clean and safe slots next.door nice atmosphere, great drinks mature crowd mostly neighborhood folks, really nice spot can bring food or have it delivered while having a drink or.playing.the slots.“
“The website is deceiving. This place is just another hole in the wall. Nice vibe, music, and food was ok. It's really small. Limited seating and standing room. If you are not booked as a 6 is unlikely you will get a seat. On Saturday, there is a $10 cover charge. They had alot of security who rotated and checked you upon entry, and we felt safe.“
“I didn't order any food when I recently visited Spanky's - a bar and grill located in a small strip mall located at 15213 101st Ave. in Dyer, Indiana. I had a few drinks, served by the very kind bartenders, and really enjoyed the live music with my friends and family! You can smoke in the bar, but it is pretty well venhilated, according to my non-smoking friends. There is a decent sized stage, plenty of space to sit at at the bar or at the tables in front of the stage, and there wasn't a wait for the bathrooms. There were three stalls available in the ladies room, which were clean, and it was nice not having to wait! Prices for the drinks were very reasonable. If music isn't your thing, there were plenty of TV's to watch - showing the news, gameshows, and sports games. I had an awesome time, they had amazing musicians, and I look forward to going back soon!Parking: Because the bar is located within a strip club, parking can be limited. There are signs in front of the businesses that state only customers for that business can park there. There IS free, additional parking located behind the strip mall, though.Kid-friendliness: This is a bar that features adult music. You might just want to leave the children at home with a baby sitter if you're going late!Wheelchair accessibility: There are parking spots for disabled individuals. Those with wheelchairs shouldn't have much trouble navigating the single level bar.“
“Super cute spot on Main Street in Crete. Came for a birthday gathering and loved it. The space is cool. I really enjoyed the fun unique decor pieces. Definitely take a look around and take in all the cool features. Amazing pizza at the place above. And obviously fantastic beer.“
