“My neighborhood meeting place. Great food, drinks, people, and atmosphere“

“We hosted my husband’s 50th birthday last weekend there and I can’t say enough good things!!! From start to finish an incredible experience and so much fun! I plan events for a living and working with Ma O’Briens was the easiest, most helpful and amazing experience.“

“Great staff. Fun neighborhood hangout where you’re guaranteed to meet friendly folks and have a great time!“

“Hideout Pub & Grill is a fun place for Karaoke night, 🎤 and I believe that it's 4 nights a week. Service is usually slow, food is okay, and drinks are always good. The staff is very friendly and the Karaoke KJ 🎤 is very good and keeps things moving nicely. I will go back for karaoke night 🌙“

“Great place to eat and drink. And have one of our meetings in the backroom.“

“Came in with a large group and the waitress was so nice/kind and patient. Would definitely come in again.“

“The karaoke on Sunday is a lot of fun! The man who runs it has a lot of music! In the beginning if it is slow he will let people do a few songs in a row. But he is also very fair. So once it’s getting busy he will space it out and get everyone in but I have never been to a place that would allow that. He is a great singer himself so I guess he enjoys taking care of people and allowing them to warm up when it’s slow. That’s cool! And the people who come are damn good singers and nice. There are no divas here but some damn good talent. A rare gem!“

“Wonderful place to have a meal. The Dunkley Burgers is awesome!“

“Superb and sevice was wonderful“

“It’s the coziest bar around and everybody knows your name!! Prices are tight!!💕“

“One of my favorite neighborhood watering holes in Elmhurst. Ideally located on Spring Road just north of the prairie path, it's a perfect and low-key place to stop for a bite and beer or whisky. My dog loves this place and its servers even more than I do.“

“The penultimate neighborhood bar with plenty of characters, shenanigans, and fun! It's our "Just One More" place. Bikers, Rock Stars, and Divas will feel right at home. Live music most weekends, outdoors in the summer in a large parking lot. Everybody who knows, goes there. John & Sparklyn are good people!“

“Great bartenders and drink specials, along with food by Ruben.“

“I stopped by this place while waiting for an oil change nearby. The layout of the restaurant was really fun — you can see the ice rink right next to it, which felt straight out of a high school movie. I loved the classic American diner vibe. It wasn’t too crowded, which made it feel even more local and cozy.

There were claw machines and candy dispensers here and there, which added to the charm. The server was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered a drink, some chili, and a burger. The food wasn’t amazing, but it was decent. Overall, it’s a very chill place. I feel like it’d be a fun spot to stop by once in a while to grab a drink and hang out with a friend.“

“Great food and environment“

“great spirits and beers good food and entertainment its awesome“

“Went with family for the Friday night fish special. Was pretty good, but the gem was the variety of sizes that came with the platter. Everything could have used a bit more seasoning, except the veggies provided with it were done well. Typical decor for this type of establishment.“

“Erin was our server and was awesome. The chicken sandwich I had was amazing. The Mexican corn side was also amazing. My father had a burger which was huge and he said delicious. I will definitely come back again.“

“Last time we had the wings they were delicious, this Thursday they were dry, like they were sitting under a heat lamp and then tossed in sauce Disappointed. Had a BLT it was good! Husband had the chicken panini. It was delicious. Yes, we highly recommend going here. I think that the wait staff needs some more training. 👍“

“Super nice peeps- dog stuff so it’s a keeper. Just go“

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend Liberty Tavern for anyone looking for a tasty meal in a cozy setting!“

“Awesome third story bar located an elevator ride up from historic Metropolis in beautiful Arlington Heights, IL. Great place to see some local music and maybe dance along to a DJ on Friday night. Newly renovated stage with a dart board and pool table. Great place to host a birthday party or to meet with old friends.“

“I ate here twice. Cesar salad with grilled chicken was very good, a little heavy on the dressi g for my liking. I also had the chicken wings which were average, a little too crispy in my opinion, but celery was very fresh and was very good with the blue cheese. Second visit, I had the Italian Wedding soup. Soup was delicious and hot, perfectly paired with the buttery toast that just melted in my mouth with the soup broth and was perfect for dipping!! I also had the market salad with medium rare steak. Salad was big and steak was cook as requested. The soup with toast was definitely the highlight for me. Prices are on the high end, but I didn't leave hungry. Perfect spot when staying at the hotel and don't feel like going out.“

“great people! very welcoming“

“We had our sons High School Graduation party in the main level party room and I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to the Edison Park Inn team, especially Dennis who worked with us to get all the details knocked out and made the process very easy and our absolutely wonderful server Michelle, she was FANTASTIC! She made every guest feel warm and welcome. the pizzas were hot and fresh, the salad was perfect and the chicken is still being raved about today. Booking EPI's was exactly what we were hoping for, a laid back atmosphere where the younger kids could move around and the older kids felt at home, the adults, well we had a great time and could not have been happier. I HIGHLY recommend EPI for your party needs, you cannot go wrong.“
