“Great service! Fun atmosphere!!“

“We were visiting Chicago area and tried out the Silo. We had the pan pizza and it was cooked to perfection. Tried their long Island iced tea was impressed one of the best I've had. It was our family of three, our server was just wonderful. No wait, loved the decor. Such a cozy spot we would definitely return if we're ever back in the area“

“The beer and atmosphere are fabulous“

“There is nothing about this place I don't recommend. The meads are amazing, their Cocktail Master is amazing at coming up with unusual combinations, and is great fun to talk to. The music mix is great as well (but possibly because I'm old 😁)! Overall, the place is extremely welcoming, with a selection of games and sofas so you can sit and enjoy your drinks and socialize.“

“Great place. Very friendly staff.“

“I went to Lucky Scottie for the first time. I've been invited by a friend who sings but never made it. I was impressed with the place in Waukegan. I'll be back soon. Keep up the good work!“

“We got here for the post Polar Plunge free drink promotion. My friend and I received our free drink, and because the bartender, Bonnie, was attentive and sweet, we stayed for a couple more drinks and ordered some food. Would totally return when next in the area. . . With any luck Bonnie will be working.“

“A great spot to hangout and grab a drink.“

““The Gallery made my wife’s surprise 75th birthday celebration absolutely unforgettable. Cecilia handled every detail with warmth and professionalism—helping me find a photographer, musician, flowers, and balloons that made the evening shine. Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres followed by a beautifully paced five-course dinner, complete with honey-inspired cocktails (using our own honey!) and a honey mustard salad dressing the chef created just for us. The food, wine pairings, and service were all outstanding—friendly, polished, and perfectly timed. The room’s unpretentious elegance and local artwork created the ideal setting for a night full of laughter, connection, and joy. Mission accomplished!”“

“Great people to be with inviting atmosphere friendly place“

“The food is fire with an extensive eastern euro & Asian fusion menu. Def need to come back to try more of the items. But the Balkan salad, Phili roll and lamb chop mangal was delish. Loved the eye for interior detail. I think they throw parties here and def need to check that out next time“

“They support live music entertainment!“

“Try their chili! It is the best. Great atmosphere.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“A spot found randomly while looking for lunch on a long bike ride from Chicago. Nashville hot chicken is VERY tasty, and the seasoned fries are excellent. Great spot for food and beer. Incredible bartending service by Tanya. Was a Saturday afternoon experience. Recommended!“

“Came in from out of town to visit some child hood friends and it was a blast. The bartenders not only served great drinks but where quick with making them. Also got to see local celebrity Karina Borelli ( IG:borelli.karina) but couldn't get close enough to get an autograph. Next time I back in town I will definitely stop bye.“

“Atmosphere was fun and festive, but with only two bartenders, it took forever to get drinks. I stood at the bar with money waving in my hand for over fifteen minutes. Staff was friendly and the fish looked clean. Typical noise level for a bar on a Saturday night with live music.
Thankfully, our friends got here early and held a table for us, otherwise it was standing room only.“

“Made a lot friends there.“

“I went there with a 20$ match and play coupon and they did not honor the coupon at all they told me NO NO“

“Friendly crowd, great service, & great prices. Outdoor Beer Garden a huge plus. Dog friendly, too.“

“It's where everyone knows your name. .. Especially mine because I go in there SO much! Love it. The new menu is great!“

“Come here every so often and the food is always amazing and the service is always on point.“

“Nice beer garden, good bands but I wish the tables were upfront. It's cheaper to stand than buy seats but if you do, you can't see the stage. Weird setup but good place.“
