“The Dutch is a VIBE. Upfront it’s giving biker bar but it’s much much more than that. There’s pool and slots in the back and tons of drinks. The food is very good. The service was fast and very friendly. Try the Nashville chicken or come Friday’s for Fish“

“The best Corned Beef around. Stopped in for a sandwich and all I can say is WOW! Added the homemade coleslaw and it was amazing! Great Views of the river abd sun was shining on the beautiful stained glass window accents. Service was great! Price was fair and we will return!“

“I was in the other day for lunch and the music was so loud, you couldn't talk to the person next to you without shouting. Your fish fry is very good and I want to keep coming in, but with the music that loud, I will be going elsewhere.“

“Definitely an underrated spot for fish fry and surprisingly good wings! They definitely cater to locals/regulars, but the staff is very friendly and are quick. The restaurant itself is a bit rundown and can get very loud and packed, but if you're fine with the noise, the heavy pours and delicious dinner makes it worth it!“

“Great atmosphere! Friendly bartenders & customers. The owner, Emma is kind & friendly. Great neighborhood establishment. We'll be back!“

“Good drinks, fun board games, friendly staff, bingo on Tuesdays, and overall a fun time.“

“This is a wonderful neighborhood bar. Like the old south side.“

at half the price... Family owned for 41 yrs....neighborhood tavern style joint.“

“It’s a great place to go and hang out! We have had bike runs out of there and they and they were absolutely amazing to us all. Would recommend it again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Biker bar very quiet and friendly people“

“Great local bar with the best bartenders in the area. If you want to experience what real Elgin is like, look no further than Hoppes! They have Fish Fry on Fridays but I’ve never had it but I want to. The owners are great and their sexy son, Chad, works some nights and is great eye candy for the ladies. If you want a bartender that serves up honesty along with great drinks, Jimmy is your man. He’s brutally honest so ask him to roast you for a good time. He once referred to a customer as the Vampire of Fun and he was spot on. Tiffany is a ball of energy, whose spirit is infectious. If you’re having a bad day, go during her shifts and she’ll pick you up immediately. Gale is the last bartender I’ve interacted with who works there. He’s a cool calm dude who can tell you some of the most interesting facts of the area. He’s also a caterer and a butcher when not at the bar. Theres someone for everyone here and if you’re in from out of town or just traveling through, have a stop at Hoppes just so you can say you’ve been there.“

“Another iconic place that has been there forever...It use to be a pretty rough establishment back in the day. But, hey we're old schoolers and born & raised locals from here. The majority of us go there. We all grew up together or attended school in the area and know each other. Great place to get a brew or mix drink, and reminisce. Lots of old faces in here. If your from here or seeking info about our town... Then you know where to hang out at. Restrooms, Karaoke, Jukebox, Full Service Bar, Pizza and Chips, Dartboards and plenty of seating available. Always something happening. Smoking allowed in front or back areas. We're all friendly folks in here. Stop in for one or more. Welcome to our neighborhood. Fri & Sat. Nights are quite busy. See ya soon. A+.“

“Beautiful bartender Lindsay and Christina and Tracy great drinks great service awesome karaoke every Friday.“

“Great place for a drink and no drama. Great Packer bar!!“

“Great authentic food Great service Very reasonably priced Large gaming area Highly recommend this place“

“Great burgers just like their Hoffman Estates location! Booths too!“

“Great place! Our party of 5 bellied up to the bar and had a great time. Jim our server and Scott the bartender made some great recommendations on drinks and apps. Watermelon margarita was the best one in the flight we had. The Tequilla Old Fashion was fantastic! Definitely made new friends and will be back often“

“Great place to relax and have ice cold drinks.“

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!“

“This was a wonderful treat! Excellent food-homemade soup; freshest salad I've had in a long time; and perfect for the season-that Candy Cane Cocoa was amazing! Beautiful building and so warm and inviting. And our host/waiter wasvery professional and attentive Highly recommend!“

“Nice time. Played pool and darts. Great night“

“Stopped in last Sunday and they happened to be having free wings and potato wedges if you ordered a Bloody Mary. Bartender, Jasmine, was super friendly and told us about other specials they offer other days. Definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a new place to have a drink at a local Dive Bar.“

“I walked into this joint with a bunch of metal heads and it felt like that moment in Tombstone when they walked into the saloon and everyone stopped and looked at them. We had fun on the gambling games and that staff was fast and friendly.“

“They have a pool table!!!! But can you move it in, just a bit. The poolstick hits the glass too much.Anyway their oven was not working so couldn't try the pizza, but they sold snacks. The drinks are basic but not bad. I don't mind cranberry vodka.Really cheap drinks. Amazing service and cool quiet chill atsmophere.I want to come back and play more billiards.“

“I love this place my sister is the manager there and she's always a good time people are always happy come there if you want to knock a good time out That's what Theresa she will pleasantly take care of you never a dull moment at this bar“

“River Lee’s is exactly what a dive bar should be. The cozy atmosphere, dimmed by glowing neon signs, makes it feel like you’ve stepped into a time capsule in the best possible way. Nothing fancy, nothing fake — just old-school charm. The beer is cheap, cold, and served without pretense, which is exactly why I’ll keep coming back. If you’re looking for polish, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for character, you’ve found it. River Lee’s gets it.“

“i Was on 3 week training camp for my coming up fight..i went to dance at this place and God damn let me tell you it was the best camp training I've ever got... i forgot I was at a nightclub... fought like three dudes couple of black eyes but it's okay.. downed a couple of modelos and we were back at it .we need one of these in Jersey come to jersey“

“Delicious lunch after fun filled day on farm“

“First time customer today and enjoyed an appetizer and one of the amazing Indian pizzas (butter chicken). Fast service and good food, will definitely be back to try other items and some of the music & events.“

“Great place to hangout! Even though it's a cash only bar they have an ATM. Drink specials everyday and it's cheaper than most bars. Bags and pool tournaments on Tuesday's starting at 6PM. Never a dull moment! 😀😊😀😊😀😊😀😊“

“Cleanest establishment around! Great staff! Great variety of drinks! WON BIG! I'll be back!“

“Definitely a very calm atmosphere. This place is a gaming area and on the weekends it turns into like a small flea market period There is a Mexican restaurant to the left side of the building and a bingo area to the right side of the building you can get all authentic Mexican food and enjoy some time with family and friends for dinner at their nice restaurant that they have it's definitely worth a trip. Due to the many facilities that they have attached to each other I'm not exactly sure about the hours so that you'd have to double check me for leaving.“

“Great food and drinks always a fun place“

“my first time and it's an absolutely fun place to hang great food drinks and the staff is amazing! I highly recommend it !“

“I worked with Plank Road Tap Room to host my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on September 27, 2025. First off, the process was so easy. I worked closely with Breanne and she handled everything so wonderfully. She was accommodating with our rehearsal time, clear with all communication, incredibly helpful day-of, and a total joy to work with. I am beyond grateful that I felt I was in such good hands the whole time. Also the ceremony space and outdoor trail made for some seriously amazing pictures that I'm still in awe over. I highly recommend PRTR for any event from casual hangouts to your biggest day!

“vibes food and drinks are great! 2nd time going and have not been disappointed! definitely recommend celebrating bdays, family or a nice night out here!“

“on our first visit 4/16/24- tried chicken fajitas and chicken taco meal. Both were delicious and huge portions. Waitress was attentive and friendly. We'll be back!👍“

“Been going there for years. Good food. Good beer. However, was told no dogs allowed and had to bring mine home even though I see them all the time up there in the summer (outside) and there are 4 dogs outside now. I can see not allowing them in the wooden patio but on the grass? Then to pick and choose who can or can’t? Despite this, I would recommend and have.“

“Great service and delicious food! Our server, Mark, was excellent! Drinks were perfect too. We will be coming back often for sure“
