A small bar full of libertyville locals. If you went to high school near here from 1970 to the present day. You'll run into someone you know. It get busy late. So if you're looking for a crowded bar with interesting company. Come here, after the other bars have had enough of you.

The fact that I have to choose a star to rate this place… I would of given it no stars if I could. First time and last time there. Bartender was super rude we never got a drink. And the place smells horrible!

Expect to not get any drinks at this bar if you're brown.My friends and I patiently waited for drinks while the bartenders got drinks for everyone and that's fine. It's not the first racist bar we've been to. But Megan or Morgan, whatever her name is, when she heard my friend complain about the 30 minutes it took to get a beer she kicked us out. I just hope my people don't spend another dime at this extremely trashy establishment.

Basic looking dive bar in Libertyville that brings in mostly those that live around it. Downing's isn't a high class place. If looking for anything fancier, stay away and up the street to the hipper restaurants. Has basic beer on tap, and some crafts in bottles and cans. The prices are pretty good on these. A place that's called an Irish pub, but it's really just a regular old bar. It doesn't actually have that much Irish about it except the Guinness. They do have festivities around St. Patrick's Day though. Good beer. It's about $5 a pint. The bigger named corporate brands are on tap. May or may not have food. Seems like it depends on if they feel like making anything I guess. Of course, really not sure if you would want to even eat anything. The place isn't filthy but it's kind of scuzzy. Cheap prices are the best things about it. It's pretty boring in the afternoon, and gets livelier at night. They're open pretty late until 3 usually, so this is one of the few places that are still open late, so they get crowded the later it gets from people coming from other bars or wherever.

This is a typical neighborhood bar. Very clean on the inside. Service was OK but you have to go to the bar to order food to order drinks. They do not have servers walking around taking your orders. Went on a Thursday night for Trivia night. Very friendly staff. Is serving sizes are pretty big. Its worth stopping in for a

This place is the best I've ever been to. I love the owner!! He is amazing. He knows how to treat a customer and has amazing service. If I could recommend this place twice I WOULD. If I could recommend it THREE TIMES I WOULD. GO HERE. -mara
If I could rate 0, I would. Use to love this place, but the staff is absolutely awful. I would recommend checking out anywhere else in libertyville.

Wish I could give zero stars. Bartenders need an ego and attitude check. I would suggest heading over to the island instead for late night drinks, and really any other place in libertyville.

I love the hometown feel. The drinks,food and service is excellent. Teri is very friendly and always happy to see you. Angel cooks some really good Mexican food. The tacos are amazing. Another must try is the Philly cheesesteak with tater tots.

Nice place to have a fee beers and kick it. People that go there are nice too. Calm, Cool & Collective type of spot

Local neighborhood bar where "everybody knows your name". Very good Mexican food, especially on nights when the cook is doing one of his famous "specials".UPDATE: They do *NOT* deliver AT ALL, not via DoorDash nor anyone else! Don't be fooled by misinformation, I am a regular customer and I KNOW.
