“A Memorable Visit to Hillside Bowling Alley Bowling alleys are often measured not only by the quality of their lanes and amenities, but by the spirit and hospitality that greet guests as they walk through the doors. My recent visit to Hillside Bowling Alley was a shining example of what can happen when a business is managed by people who truly care about their patrons. Organizing a group event can be challenging, but John the general manager made the process seamless. He was attentive to special requests, ensuring our experience matched our expectations. One of the highlights of our visit was discovering Hillside's fantastic bowling specials designed for groups, these offers made our outing not only enjoyable, but also affordable. Such thoughtful promotions encouraged us to make the most of our time together, adding value to an already delightful experience. It's rare to encounter the kind of customer service that inspires you to return again and again. Thanks to John's exemplary leadership and the welcoming environment with great staff at Hillside Bowling Alley my group left with smiles fond memories and plans to visit again soon. For anyone seeking a venue for a group outing-whether it's friends, family, or colleagues Hillside offers not just great bowling, but a level of hospitality that transforms a simple game into an occasion. Thank you, John!!“

She was so welcoming and attentive. I highly recommend this place.“

“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!“

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

Pictured is the vegan Mac and cheese, which was delicious. It’s a big portion, which 2 can share. I’ve also ordered the vegan quesadilla, but it was not grilled to my desired taste because I did not ask.
It’s a calm environment.“

“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!!“

“We randomly stopped in hungry after getting off a flight at OHare. WOW! The food was so good and beers perfectly cold. Might be the best wings I’ve ever had!! Also had a pulled pork sandwich which was scrumptious, chicken Alfredo pasta quickly devoured by our daughter. Curly fries and sweet potato fries also 🔥! Our server, Rachel was great, too!“

“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“

“Nice place, nice people. It's a bar but they have pizzas which I will request to be less well done next time as I like my food closer to the raw side.... They also have the polish zapiekanki which I did not try.... Some of the karaoke singers were really good. Looks like it's not just regulars here which surprised me.“

“Ziggy and Ewa are awesome!“

“spots in the area to watch a Bears game. The energy is perfect — TVs everywhere, great sound, and the crowd actually feels like a community.

The food is consistently great (way above typical bar food), and it’s obvious the ownership really cares about the place. You can tell in the details — the place is spotless, from the front tables to the bathrooms, and everything feels well run.

The bartenders are fast, friendly, and know their stuff, whether you’re ordering a draft, a cocktail, or just asking what’s good to eat. Service is always quick even when it’s packed, and you never feel ignored.

If you’re looking for a clean, well-run bar with great food, great service, and the perfect setup for a Bears Sunday, Filonek’s is the spot.“

“Great, welcoming, neighborhood joint. Good grub!! Can't go wrong!“
