    “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”

No fancy cocktails to be found, just a solid selection of beers, including the newly added Yuengling on tap, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay all night. They also offer a few liquors for basic mixed drinks or for those who like to drink their liquor neat.”

    “This is a go to bar. Forget the corporate ba, real people, real service. You go there twice they will know your drink. Amazing live music, and otherwise a great place to watch sports games. Jeremy is a great owner/bartender, and his staff truly goes above and beyond most dive bars. It's not a dive bar as it's clean and open. Neighborhood bar with character, class, and cheap drinks. Just rip the great bartenders so they stay. Totally a hidden gem in dupage county. City people can also come as it's 200 feet from the train ...”

Family owned place who really cater to their customers and know most of the customers by name. There's a pool table, 6 TVs, and a jukebox which is perfect for hanging out and having a few shots and/or beers on the cheap. Party packages are inexpensive too and they have a nice big dining room for birthdays and group gatherings. (On Wednesday's they have drink specials.) *Cheers*”

    “While on the hunt for a karaoke spot in Chicago, someone pointed us toward this place. Of course we showed up on the day they dye the river for St. Patrick’s Day… so the place was absolutely packed. Like “good luck getting near the mic” packed. 🍀🎤 We didn’t get as much karaoke time as we hoped, but the vibe was still awesome. It definitely feels like the kind of place that would be a blast on a normal weekend when it’s a little less chaotic and you actually have a fighting chance to grab the mic and embarrass yourself in front of strangers. 😆”
