28 Best Sports Bars near Island Lake

“It's fun but I personally think the drinks are overpriced and very weak. I don't drink a lot and I had 3 vodka cranberries that tasted like cranberry only & I didn't even get a buzz. Other than that it's a cool place and I'll go back, but next time I'm ordering doubles lol“

“I Highly Recommend it here, so much genuien customer Love and care, The Best of the Best, deserving of a 5X⭐️ AND MORE. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇“

“I came to try the meat loaf stack and my wife the steak sandwich. We thought the food was delicious, and the service was great. We arrived a little before 5 on Friday which was a good time because the restaurant filled up quickly after wards. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I'm biased in regards to Serve and Swig since my band plays there, but so be it. The bar has been transformed from old Nutties which was a little neighborhood watering hole to a excitingly new establishment. Serve and Swig not only offers top shelf bar service, but quite good appetizers and full meals while wude screen tv's display sporting events and maybe a couple of guitar players singing popular rock songs.
The outdoors offer volleyball leagues and pickleball courts. There is always something fun happening at Serve and Swig!“

“I had a Birthday party for my husband here. There were at the least 20 people. I can't tell you how wonderful Bryce our waiter/bartender was awesome! To be slammed with orders, all at once.....he was outstanding!“

“I've had the privilege of stopping by the Squaw Bar on several occasions and have enjoyed every visit. What is refreshing about this establishment is that it's cozy and not over refined like other establishments. This means that one can get to know just who they are enjoying the company of. The Squaw Bar even has the latest technology that blends in well with a good old fashion campfire by the sands. I'm speaking of .SVG TV... no not your regular run of the mill squabbles from all over the globe but a personalized cast of stars that light up the evening sky. Take for example the ale tale of Helen Liz Hunt. It's an October ghost story told at this time in the light of the Hunters Moon. The legend says that Helen walks the .3 mile route from Hunt Ave on a westwards journey. She crosses Helendale Road and arrives at the Squaw Bar in search of dark rye and molasses bread 🍞. Helen pays for her meal in Indian Rupee legal tender and enjoys the Raisins And Honey as the Sultan as played by myself offers her a 🍔 hamburger bear hug.“

“Nice handycap entrance. Nice people and comfortable sitting. Bar stools and chair sitting up at bar. Sitting at tables also for small groups for talking to friends. And always a TV for watching favorite sports. Good drinks at reasonle prices.“

“Where do I begin? Welcoming atmosphere, clean restaurant, and attentive service. I'm not a margarita fan, but I thoroughly enjoy my strawberry margarita and would enjoy again! My fiancé ordered salsa and chips for an appetizer and we were both happily surprised with the fresh chips and tasty green salsa! After enjoying our appetizer we both ordered their three taco dinner special for taco Tuesday. My fiancé order steak tacos and I ordered a combination of chicken tinga, chorizo, and their house special campechano. Everything was amazing!!! My fiancé enjoys the spicier salsas and was offered a habenero red salsa. We sampled all three that was received and have nothing but good things to say about them all. Thank you for an amazing dinning experience tonight, can't wait to come back and enjoy a new dish in the near future! ☺️🌮🌯“

“No body can do like American girl. Enjoy guys“

“Great little place to hang out and grab a burger and chat with local folks“

“The service was great and the food was delicious. we were passing through for work and stopped in. Aubrey was awesome and the guy that seated us and brought us extra bread was great. The portions on pasta are huge!“

“Great place to end a day and start the weekend“

“Even though it was a slow Sunday lunch, the service was slow and the order was messed up. The food was good. Some dishes, such as smoked chicken, ribs, rib tips, wings, and curds were great. The burnt ends were super fatty. Our order of French fries came out not fully ready. The server took care of that right away. The Cole slaw was ehhh, nothing to brag about, but the corn bread was delicious. All in all a good experience.“

“I hired The Hungry Mule in Lake Zurich to cater a luncheon for about 65 people. The owner and staff were easy to work with. Very accommodating. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Everyone commented on how delicious everything tasted. I would definitely hireThe Hungry Mule again.“

“I visit Johnsburg 1-2 times per year and I always work it into my schedule to stop in for a beer which turns into several. Friendly regulars and bartenders. Random people usually give me money to request songs on the jukebox for them which is pretty cool.“

“If you want to sit by the water and enjoy a nice night out and great snack food (Italian Beef bites) and burgers, I recommend The Longshot. Go see Lisa on Friday night and tell her Krista and Lori sent you!“

“Hi. I would like to say thank you to Jacki at the Crystal lake location. She was so kind and showed empathy when I was there on Thursday 8/1/2024. It’s been a difficult week and my mom had passed away that morning. That was my first meal in about a week. She was so kind to pay for our meals. Thank you so much. I would like for that owner to know this and we will be returning back soon! 10/23/2024- we had Maya as our server today. She is also another wonderful asset to your team! Thank you for the Bingo night!“

“Everything was great from service to food. It was our first time there and we definitely will be back.“

“went here this morning for a couple of drinks with my friend and the bartender Susan was so nice, fun to talk to, and made our experience. definitely will be back for her. the crowd at the bar was also very chill & respectful, so it wasn’t obnoxious or too loud inside and gave us a chance to relax and catch up. they just have basic food options like mozz sticks or burgers, but the food was yummy, drinks were cold, and it’s always just nice to be served by anybody who’s so down to earth and personable. 🤗“

“Really great food. A staple here in Johnsburg.“

“love this place. great service and drinks. the food is well priced and delicious“

Updated review:
$3.50 for a can of pop, no more free refills.

Rewards program totally sucks. In September, I tried to load 3 receipts. They showed already loaded. My account did not show the receipts loaded.
So who loaded them?

Tried to log in to review my account, and it is completely jacked up. Cannot even log in or reset my password.
I was told today that servers ask you for your number? Since when. Asked my friends and they said never were they asked for a phone number, but they dont use the rewards program.“
