Loved the gaming area, very clean.This establishment offers a delightful experience with its impressive culinary offerings and captivating musical ambiance. The gaming area provides a truly exceptional entertainment experience. A wide variety of games caters to diverse preferences. It sounds like a fantastic place to spend some time.

Bartender was rude and had a nasty look on her face when asking questions. If you don’t like your job please don’t apply for it.

My Grandson's birthday party was here. Served pizza that had obviously been made hours before. No one ever checked to see if everything was OK. Couldn't get a pop refill without bringing up the pitchers. Poor service. Never again. At least the kids had fun bowling.

Kimmie makes the BEST cherry bombs and drinks! She makes sure the sodas and energy drinks are not flat and each drink is beyond flavorful! I have never been to an establishment where they check for carbonation before pouring to ensure a nice cold FRESH drink but kimmie does!! (: I will forever love her drinks!

Bartender is just rude. Acts as if we are disturbing her and looks at us as if we disgust her. Lord forbid you ask her a question ?. Has to ask my wife if we had done something to upset the Bartender. Nope don't know her. She's just rude.

After some closings of local establishments, we were trying to find someplace local to watch the NFL games. We had never been here before, but thought we would check it out for the 49ers/Lions Conference championship game. After this visit we will have to find a new location for games.Whereas they have plenty of TVs, the major one is a projection screen and worked fine, but some of the smaller TVs were not functioning properly. Also, the seating is not the most comfortable. They have a section in front of the large TV with high tables but they have hard stools for seats. The bar has seats, but then you are sitting at the bar. We find a low table by the bar with backed seats. They were also hard plastic. I think we were anticipating too much for a Bar & Grill inside a Freeport Bowling Alley.There were two different bartenders working that night. One appeared to be a bartender/cook while the other filled every other roll. The bartender/cook was kind of rude and gave off the vibe she wanted to be anywhere else in the world and we were putting her out. The other one was friendly and helpful and was a joy to interact.As for the food. MEH. We started with Joe’s Tatchos. These were unimpressive and bland. We’ve had better in many other places. Even the cheese tasted like generic canned cheese sauce. After I had Joe’s Smoked Beef Brisket. I wish I had not. It was some of the fattiest brisket served on a generic hamburger bun. At least the brisket was tender and juicy, because there was almost some of the blandest food I’ve had, this includes hospital and nursing home food. My Girlfriend had the pulled pork sandwich, with the same issue. There was really no flavor to it. Even after adding BBQ sauce they had, neither was satisfying. Honestly, I’ve had tap water that had more flavor.Overall, Not impressed. It’s not bad, but I’ve had so much better.

The Most Dangerous Bar In Freeport Il , Nothing But Gang Members, Guns , Drugs , Gambling . Bartenders Are Paid To Look The Other Way . People Have Been Stabbed In The Bathrooms , Attacked In The Bar And They Do Nothing !

First let me start by saying it's awesome your on doordash! I got food to go. The sandwiches were good, but no sauce. Both sandwiches were missing the BBQ. We had to add our own sauce. The curds also did not come with the ranch. No napkins food seemed to be thrown together. Pulled pork bun was covered in grease. Curds taste
