“I’ve been going to this bar for a few years now and from day one I was welcomed with open arms, I love all that bartenders that work there and the manager. I always have a great time with lots of laughs and memories to last a lifetime. Also shout out to the karaoke djs , they always make sure everyone has a good time, and if you stay long enough you might get a chance to hear the bartender sing a song or 2.“

“After a nice night out for dinner with my co-worker we looked for a place to play pool and found this gem! The bartender Richard was a bit overwhelmed, after talking to him we found out it was his first night! I have to say he did a great job, very attentive, professional, and held his own. Over all the atmosphere, service, drink prices, and hospitality was by far on point. I highly recommend this spot.“

“The bartender was really helpful and friendly. Even with a full bar, he took his time to make some recommendations and gave me his full attention while talking to me. The beer selection is really good. They also have beer available for sale.

Just a note, they don’t currently sell food. Drinks only.“

“Bar and liquor store combo with a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a great selection of whiskey and beer.

We had our rehearsal dinner there, and it was exactly what we wanted. Very much our style. Saved us a bunch of money doing it there vs our other options. And the nice thing was that we were able to cater whatever food we wanted there.

We also got the spirits for our wedding through them. They had the best prices from everything we vetted, and we were able to return all the unopened bottles that were leftover after the event.

Thanks again to Dillon, the owner, who is a really nice guy!“

“Went it for a loaded Bloody Mary. It was great. The people seemed really friendly (employees and customers)
The bathroom needs to be gutted. It’s terrible. I got water all over my self from something leaking. Looks like they have put 30 coats of paint over everything. It’s falling apart in there! The lighting in the bar was terrible. It literally feels like I’m in a dark basement. I would love to see this place get an over haul because it was great potential with the nice staff and great customers. Very very very welcoming!!“

“Their food is great and is just an awesome spot with a lot of charm and friendly faces.“

“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“

Jimmy & the staff were friendly and accommodating, prices were very reasonable, and the overall atmosphere made it such an easy and stress-free place to celebrate. Karaoke later in the night was an added bonus and made the night even more fun!

Such a great local spot just outside the city — highly recommend for group gatherings, celebrations, or just a fun night out!“

“Great old place I love going to rustic old taverns bars, never had a complaint went couple times on a unbusy time. Gentleman Bartender seems nice they actually had BLATZ that on tap that day I went after St. Matthews church. Couple Years ago I’m from Romeoville. Cheers to TOMS Place P.S. I want that old neon sign BCCA collector since 1974.“

“Best bartenders around, Phenomenal Pork chop sandwiches.“

“Great place 🎰 love the refresh.“

“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 ...“

“First time here and LOVED IT, enjoyed myself. The owner Tony was amazing over the phone and his son Antonio was such an amazing person to my family and I. Want to shout out the bartender Arnold for an amazing service and great personality. Businesses like these with owners (family) and workers make your experience a five 5 experience. I’m very picky and this place was great to us. We will be back. Thank you for an amazing time Ella’s !“

“Great place! My first time here and the staff and owners were all very welcoming and when I went back the next day they all remembered my name, feels like home here. My friend won big on the machines!$$$ They have amazing pizza served with seasoning. I will definitely be making this my new neighborhood hangout!“

“Cool place fun atmosphere great staff“

“Barrelman's Room is my go-to place on a Friday or Saturday night when I want delicious cocktails and cozy ambiance so I can actually talk to my friends & hear each other. It's usually pretty easy to get a table, the staff is helpful with recommendations and I love the "secret" feel of it. I recommend it to anyone who wants a night out without a long line or wait. You won't be disappointed!“

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!“

“This spot is easily one of the best hotel bars around! The atmosphere is fantastic, but the real highlight was our bartender, Kelly. She was incredibly sweet and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed.
Highly recommended for a great drink and even better service“

“This bar has a special place in my heart. This bar was my grandfather’s spot. I believe he owned the building when he was alive. I remember being there as a small child and playing games there. I visited once over ten years ago. I would love to come back when I’m in town again.“

“Great atmosphere, great staff! Highly recommend“

“This is not your typical ‘bar food’. Everything we have tried there is higher quality Restaurant Food. Bartenders … especially Artie and Kristy are attentive, efficient and fun ! The 0wner, Tommy is usually hanging around and is friendly and accommodating. Sometimes due to allergies I have to alter the menu a little and he doesn’t hesitate to switch things around a little… Do yourself a favor… stop in for a great meal and enjoy a friendly atmosphere.“

“My daughter and son in law invited us to their regular watering hole since we were visiting from out of town.
Dee was an excellent bar tender and made sure we never went dry. I didn't get a chance to try the food but it was a fun environment and atmosphere.“

“My friend and I randomly walked into cravens and ended up staying for hours. The vibe was so friendly. Everyone was kind, but I can’t say enough great things about the bartender Kelly!!! She was attentive and made us feel right at home. We will be back !“

“Really great atmosphere and lighting! Service was good, music and vibes were also good. Just wish they had a better selection. Saw a picture on one of the reviews that had a few different ciders on there but it must have been old bc when we arrived we were told it was just beer or high noon seltzers. Other than that though its a real nice spot, definitely worth checking out! :)“

“I've traveled around a LOT selling my wears and no place I've ever been has good hotel food, except here. Every year I always buy food from them. Super yummy and you get a lot of food for a decent price. This is the one time I don't have to worry about bringing food because they have options for all. Service is outstanding and the folks are super kind. So put your mind at ease and give them a try!“

“Just tried the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and corn. Haven't had it in a long time and boy was I pleasantly surprised. Very very yummy. And thank God the mashed potatoes were made from real potatoes. Definitely tasted home made. Prices are very good as well. I'll try few more dished in the coming weeks but right now 5 stars.“

“The local craft beer selection is diverse enough to satisfy basically any beer fan. I loved the bacon and jalapeño mac and cheese, and I want to take bottles of the fried pickle dipping sauce home! The bartender Jim was very knowledgeable and handled a very busy bar extremely well. I'm looking forward to my next visit!“
