“Not going to lie I do love me a good "dive" tavern however not one that is really "clique-ish" and give you dirty looks because you're not a regular. OPT fka as Gracie's is not that place. It's OLD and the decor is grandma's basement but we always have a fun time there. There are old timers; young'uns (depending on time of day / night) and every bartender I've ever encountered has been gracious. Pool is free and food is your burger/chips.“
“What a great experience! We rented the hall for a party. The people there are so friendly and out going. We had so much fun and made so many new friends. The grounds outside are just beautiful. We played bags, had a bon fire, and chatted with friends all night long.“
“Used to come here a lot a few years ago to hang out and play pool. Had a little hiatus but started coming back recently. I have nothing bad to say about this place. The Owners and staff are super nice and attentive. If you're looking for food, drinks or somewhere to play pool I'd check this place out.“
“I wish this place would do some elementary weather stripping! The drafts on cold day reduces the habitable tables to only about half of those in the room, depending on the wind direction. This is so obvious a easy fix I have personally suggested to the management and the problem exists!! I guest I will wait for warm weather!!“
“Great place to just kick back and chill after a long day; drink specials are pretty good, never terribly busy even on the weekends, well it’s busy but reasonable; staff is great, very personable bartenders working at all times. Will be back again!Parking: Plenty of parking in the back“
“Cool local bar. It sure doesn't look like much, so you'll probably pass it up in Frankfort. New Image is a kind of small divey place. Mostly drinks except on occasions you won't know anything about. The good thing about that is there's less of a crowd, so you can get better service in theory. A pretty divey a** bar. It was pretty crowded the last time here. This is kind of hard to get to. Parking lot is in the back. This is also next to a liquor store. It's $3 for most domestic beers. Pretty much the basic stuff here and not much fancy. Has no food except crackers. These are free. Good place to get a few cheap drinks. It's overall kind of dirty but gets you drinks fast. There's no food usually but you can bring in some from outside.“
“Stopped in for a drink. Had a great old fashioned. The bartender was super fun and friendly. A 2 person bad was playing, but still great place to hang with friends and enjoy a good cocktail with conversation. Nice array of 70s classic rock. Next time i will ha e to try the food.“
“Very clean welcoming place. Looks like a log house on outside. Hostess was friendly and seated us right away. We were there around 4:30pm. Waitress got our drinks then took our orders. Since it was Valentines and ash Wednesday we ordered fish and chips. Our kids ordered grecian chicken special. Grandkids ordered chicken tenders and sliders. All was good. Everyone was happy with food and service. Grandkids got free ice cream. Highly recommend.“

“I started this review ages ago and just noticed-having visited more than 5 years ago, my big takeaway from visiting was the passion and dedication of the two owners getting this unique bottle shop to open and thrive! They have a unique variety of handcrafted beers to satisfy any beer drinkers' taste preferences & I loved checking out how everything was thoughtfully displayed. I also loved their commitment to creating events for their community related to beer and otherwise. While I no longer live in the Chicago area, I remember wishing there was a place like Crafted closer to the apartment I lived in in Ukrainian Village. Owner Dan and his wife Kelli are the sweetest and provide great customer service and conversation!“
“Had a wonderful lunch for a monthly retired teacher group. Joe and Vicki gave us the room in the back. Our meals were fantastic and Paige, our server, was wonderful! We were celebrating a 70th birthday and we were treated to several amazing desserts. The service was above and beyond our expectations. We booked our Christmas party here in December.“
“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.“
“Very cool environment, just went there before Christmas with work buddies. Tara was our bartender, she was a great time & took care of all our needs. Annie was another bartender there that was super social & absolutely awesome to talk to. I'd highly recommend this place for a great social experience & high energy good time!“
“I come here once in a while for breakfast. I love their American breakfast. The potatoes are really good, the sausage is tasty and best to have a mimosa with my breakfast is great too. Great to see a bar serving breakfast food on the weekends. Change of atmosphere and great place to be at.“

“Very welcoming to non-regulars. We're from out of state for a conference and were looking for a neighborhood bar. Perfect. Staff are quick and very friendly! They even put our MN Wild on TV for us even though 3 Chicago teams are playing tonight. If you're looking for a down home bar, this is a great place!! Didn't eat here but food looks good!“
“Classic old cash dive bar with slots, darts and an ATM to pay for your drinks. Live music, check schedule, food is slim Pickens, but occasionally they bring in food for customers. They do have frozen za for a quick bite along with other snacks year round. Best deal offered is they will buy your first drink. The owner will stock Malort if you drink it, I believe I drank the last bottle ?. Check this place out when you're out cruising 159th on the Southside, in Oak Forest, IL.Parking: Watch out for us smokers.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, shouldn't have any issue maneuvering“
“Was doing a little bar hopping and found this hidden gem. They have pool, slots, darts and Touch Tunes for music which worked for us. Service was friendly and the prices were good too. Didn't serve any wine though so I had to swich up my drinks. All in all, a nice spot!“
“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.“
“This place is tops!!! Absolutely great food in a hole in the wall bar. It has a "bar" vibe, but don't let that dissuade you. We will even bring our kids here during the day. My favorite item is the flame burger, made as a chicken sandwich (you can substitute chicken for burger), with fries and ranch. Would often come here for date nights and would also get carry out anytime I was in the area. It's just delicious food. They will also do some seasonal cocktails, which are fun to try, and always have good prices.“
“Great Bar, great owners and great bartenders!! As for James Suefert’s review, I have been in the bar three times you were, and let me explain, the first time you fell asleep at the bar, the second time you tried to walk away with the Family Fued workers phone and the third time you propositioned one of the bartenders in the worst way. I can understand if you feel your service was below service, it’s you!!!!“
“This is a great sports bar to hang out at and have a few drinks. I love it because it has a dart board. There is also a pool table here too. Came here last night with my bf to see the live band and play some darts. The food I give 5 stars to Mr. Beef’s beef sandwiches. I don’t know how Mugshots food tastes because I only come for Mr. Beef’s sandwiches. The live band was okay. They played good music but it was kind of hard hearing the singers voice. The drinks here are made well. Friendly and great customer service here.“
“What a FUN place to relax & have a drink. It was our 1st visit & Jill was amazing at making us feel welcomed. We walked in & jokingly thanked everyone for waiting so long for us to get there & the regular customers played right along with us. It's now our favorite...who doesn't appreciate good humor & friendliness???“
“Who likes French Onion Soup ? That's one fine , mighty tasten crock of soup they serve at the Pub . The Royale burger is big and hardy . From the bun to the egg , to the bacon to the cheese . Make it messy as you please . The bartender is cheerful and efficient. Don't let the dim lighting fool you , its patrons are bright and welcoming .“
“Haya is absolutely amazing! My sister went and got her hair done and well the picture speaks for itself. She really connects with her clients and make sure everything is the way you want it! She make sure you leave the salon feeling FABULOUS! She uses amazing products and not to mention but her salon is gorgeous!! 10/10 recommend!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Ordered delivery to the hotel we were staying and planned on heading down to the lobby to wait for the driver to arrive close to the delivery time. Service was super speedy and our driver called to let us know he was on his way up. The pizza was great! We ordered the beer crust because it was an option we hadn't had before. It was thin crust, but not like a limp cracker crust. It had good char on the bottom without tasting burnt, and was crisp, which was good because there was a good amount of cheese and toppings. The sauce was flavorful and thick, with a brick red color on the outer pieces that had slightly caramelized from the heat of the oven.“
“Beautifully decorated Thai restaurant with excellent martinis.Portion sizes are large. Had drunken noodles with beef and the duck. The duck was delicious but the flavor was a little different than expected last it didn't have crispy skin.Also tried a hot and dirty martini which was perfectly made. The green tea martini was interesting and very good as well.Service was great and the atmosphere was very pleasant.“
“We live walking distance to Gattos and have developed somewhat of a love/hate attitude towards it over the years. But the other night my wife and I stopped in, and what a surprise!!! We were handed a MENU! Yes, a menu. No more twisting around trying to read the chalkboard. No more questioning the poor wait staff endlessly about the menu. Way to go Gatto's.“
“A cozy place to chill and have a few drinks with friends, this local pub feels more like home than any bar I've been to. Sitting on the deck reminds me of family gatherings where we'd sit around and tell stories with beers in hand. The bartender kept her head on a swivel, always quick to grab your next drink before you've even had a chance to ask.Music was just the right volume to hear all the words to your favorite song without missing any of the conversation right next to you. Excellent atmosphere, will definitely be back again.“
