“I've been going here for years for wings, and beer. The wings are always fresh and delicious, but the interior isn't always as clean as I'd like, and sometimes watching people get punched and kneed in the face on TV doesn't always sit well but, you know, that's the way things go these days. Still, good food, good service.Parking: Large parking lot that is almost empty on a late Sunday night“
“Hi guys, just wanna let you guys know the garage bar in sandwiches is a great spot to have food. The service was OK. Not the best but the food makes everything better. Unfortunately the drinks were trash. I shouldn’t say trash because that’s understatement. They are horrible they taste nothing but syrup don’t get drinks or specialty drinks here get anything on tap that was better, good luck“
“This place seemed as if it was an upscale sports bar. Plenty on tvs to view games, but above that was the food! I was very surprised at how everything tasted, making me savor that last bite. Cocktails ? were pleasant and just the overall presentation. If you are in the area, definitely make a stop and try this place. The fried alligator was a hit!!“
“The Black Sheep Bar is an absolute hidden gem that exceeded all expectations. The 9-foot diamond pool table was a highlight of our visit, providing a unique and enjoyable gaming experience. Amy, the bartender, was not only incredibly sweet but also showcased an impressive knowledge of the extensive drink menu. Her recommendations were spot-on, making our evening all the more enjoyable. Meeting the owner, Silva, was a pleasant surprise, adding a personal touch to our experience. The Black Sheep Bar is a must-visit for those seeking a fantastic atmosphere, exceptional service, and a touch of authenticity.“
“My work team and I went to Union Ale House to take part in their Wednesday night trivia competition. We had a fun time. There is something on the menu for everyone and lots of drink choices too. The food was tasty. Service was good, which for a group of our size was impressive. The only two criticisms I had were that the bathroom could use improvement and the parking lot needs help. Not enough spaces to park and I parked by a very scary looking ditch. We'd definitely go back again.“
“Walked into a welcoming scene where all the customers were happy and socializing. People leaving and laughing is a good sign that they are content.Got the Sausage and Pepper Thin crust pizza.The staff member that helped mewas a pleasure.Very nice cracker crust pizza with a good mild sausage that wasn't overwhelming and a small salad.Satisfied 2 adults. To go,5 min walk, pizza was just fine.“
“Most ppl that walk into the Nook, only see it as a neighborhood bar. However the Nook isn't just any ordinary bar, The Nook has been around for 92 years. It is one of the few grandfathered bars in the entire city of Chicago that sits in the middle of a neighborhood. A well-established business with almost 100 years worth of History. Even though the Nook has transferred owners over the years and most recently it's new owners a pair of Chicago natives, that have kept the Chicago and neighborhood establishment thriving with locals, out of towners and more importantly family and friends. Two things I can always guarantee when I visit are, Endless Laughs with Great company and best of all Ice Cold beer!!. Keep up the great work guys. Special shout out to Mike and TC. Also my favorite bartender Marcel.“
“A Chicago-style 'beer before' and 'beer and a shot' after work drinking establishment. Wonderfully unpretentious with excellent bartenders. We spent most of our time drinking, so no complaints on the price. Washrooms could use a little more attention, but not a deal breaker.“
“I like the food at this bar delicious and the excellent servers. The only reason I give this place a 4-star is the fries. For some reason, they are always super salty.The chicken tenders are super good and a must-try, crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside.“
“Great brews and great food!Stopped here after the botanical gardens. It is like a 6 minute drive from the gardens. And worth the trip for sure. The birria and mardi ramens were fantastic! Fried ramen was great too!Can't wait to go back!“
“Frankie was the absolute best. She was so funny and kept the drinks coming. It is so hard to find someone so charming and caring now a days. Filoneks really hit the jackpot with her. Did not hurt she was so beautiful as well. Definitely will be back“

“Honestly was a little nervous when I saw how little people there was and how extensive their menu was. We only got the golden shrimp (appetizer) and sushi items. So nothing from the grill side. But everything we got tasted really really good. Would like to go back when the terrace is open because I feel like the ambiance would be a little better out there“
“Lived in the neighborhood going on 2 years and have never gone wrong… Don’t feel like cooking ✅ Want something fast✅ Quick drinky drink to unwind ✅ Comfort food? Pizza ✅ Wings ✅ Italian beef ✅ Burgers ✅ Fries, tots, nachos ✅✅✅“

“An absolute gem of a local neighborhood bar and bowling alley. Eight lanes of bowling with some of the original Brunswick automatic pinsetters, top ball return, and manual scoring (there are free apps available for scoring if you so desire). $6 per game and $2 for shoes (as of this posting February 2024), an absolute bargain. They have a full bar with 12 tap beers including a good selection of local craft brews (plus myriad bottles selections), and over 100 types of liquor, including flavored vodkas, whiskeys, rum, tequila, and everyone's favorite Malört. Wine is limited to individual serve bottles. The staff and owner are absolute legends, quick with their service and phenomenal personalities. They do not serve food aside from a few bags of chips, however, they do encourage ordering in. Joe's Pizza just down the street makes some of the best thin crust tavern cut pizza you'll ever enjoy. A pool table and TouchTunes jukebox are available as well. Outdoor seating is a great way to relax on those warm spring and summer days.“
“Hubby and I loved this place! Ashlee is a great bartender and makes your experience most memorable! The food is great and the drinks are superb! Had a great time with the regular patrons, they made us feel very welcome and glad we stopped by. Cheers!?“
“This place is the best local ‘place’.. literally a place for anyone and everyone. Been there twice and hospitality I received from the bartender/host was kind and warm. I am still exploring the menu ?, but love the ‘hot toddy’. You feel warm and fuzzy after one but 2 just makes me smile. Finally found my go-to ?“
“Went here on Valentine's Day with my boyfriend, and we were able to make reservations the night before. Great service and accommodations for the busy evening! We both ordered beers, and the food was fantastic. I got the chicken piccata, and he ordered the bacon burger. We both had the Chipotle mayo on the side that added a great twist to both meals. Splitting the two was a great idea. I like the open concept of the restaurant as one side is a bar and the other is more centered around dining. I'd definitely make my way back here when I'm in the area. Totally recommend!“
“Every bar has a gimmick. Nowadays a lot of them getting too gimmicky. Not this place no gimmick. Hard to find in Chicago.Tried to drink all of their $4 tall boy PBR. The chicken quesadilla, how I got me and my coworker home. If I wasn’t in town on business I would’ve drank all their $4 tall boy PBR.In all seriousness, was told they were under new management. Obviously it’s working. Staff was entertaining, locals were non stop entertainment, food was crème de la crème of bar food.“
“Violet's Gaming Pub: A Great Place to Relax and Have FunI recently had the pleasure of visiting Violet's Gaming Pub in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. I was immediately impressed by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, and they went out of their way to make sure I had a great experience.The food was also delicious. I had the chicken parmesan, which was perfectly cooked and served with a generous portion of pasta. The service was quick and efficient, and the prices were very reasonable.But the real highlight of my visit was the gaming. Violet's has a wide variety of games to choose from, including arcade games, pinball machines, and even a few video games. I spent hours playing my favorite games, and I never felt bored or restless.I would highly recommend Violet's Gaming Pub to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing place to spend an evening. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the gaming is top-notch. I can't wait to go back!Special Shout-Out to Bryan the BartenderI would be remiss if I didn't give a special shout-out to Bryan, the bartender. He was absolutely fantastic! He was so friendly and attentive, and he went out of his way to make sure I had a great experience. He even gave me some great recommendations for games to play.If you're ever at Violet's, be sure to ask for Bryan. He's the best!“
“Absolutely, Delicious.. Definitely will come back!’ Cook is a chef.. everything I tried was delicious.. pizza#1 salad, bean soup & the $2 hot pepper with garlic & parsley was amazing! Waiter#1 so friendly & makes the best cappuccino.Garlic bread.. yummy!!!“
“We had our son's 1st birthday in the Fireplace Room at Countryside Saloon recently and we couldn't have been happier with how it turned out! We'd recommend anyone to have a big party here. We had about 50 guests and the space was more than big enough for people to walk around and mingle or sit down to eat. Staff allowed me to arrive an hour before the official party start-time so we could put up birthday decorations, including a large balloon arch (which the staff actually helped us take down & discard after the party, which was very helpful). We ordered an unlimited pizza, salad, and pasta salad food option from the kitchen, along with unlimited domestic beer pitchers, which all worked out wonderfully; food was delicious and nobody left hungry (or thirsty!). And the cost was reasonable to feed 50 people. Too bad our son will be too young to remember it, but everyone else had a great time!“
“I would say that All Inn is like Narnia, it is a very distinguished place to visit, every single time someone gets to All Inn they can only expect the most wonderful and incredible experience. Im telling you with all honesty that all of the different people that you can meet at this magical place will give you a nice and different perspective of your life. If you haven’t experienced it, I don’t know what you are waiting for.“
“This place is amazing. I tried get a seat at Buffalo Wild Wings but it was crowded and I wasn’t going to wait. The food was great, i enjoyed the quesabirrias and the sampler. Great local spot. This place got my support. Will be back again.“
“Friendly Bartenders and amazing drinks is why we come back. Our 3rd visit was welcoming and friendly. The hot honey wings is our favorite as as the sweet hot chili flavor. Bartender went and checked on the guests out in the patio. Felt taken care of. Good job guys!“

“Great place to go have a drink and grab food! Literally and an option for everyone when it comes to beer, liquor, wine, and food. If your a blue cheese fan, don't even get me started! The blue cheese is made in house and can't be beat! Smooth and chunky ???. It's pretty chill until around midnight and the pops off. So you can have a chill time or a club vibe depending on when you go. Plenty of games to play and plenty of slots to play as well.“
“Go to the Munich Inn for a burger and a beer! You will not be disappointed. The burgers are always cooked to perfection and the beer is ice cold. No waitstaff service, order at the bar and run a tab. The Munich Inn has become our go-to place for a few years now.“
“This place is on my list of top 5 favorite dive bars. When you walk in there's a room to the right that has pool tables, darts and giant checkers! Then just when I thought it couldn't get any better. A band started jamming and they sounded incredible! The glass wall in between us created the perfect amount of sound. We ordered pizza and it was hot and delicious. Our bartenders were friendly and attentive.“

“Glad to have a place like this in our back yard. The wings and burgers are awesome. Great cold beer specials! I forget the bartenders name , petite short blond hair lady- I hope she gets as much credit as possible. She was busting her behind , and serving drinks , waiting tables in an understaffed environment , which is hard. She is always super nice and cares. It’s hard when you have to pay those high taxes as a smaller business owner…A+ , and thank you!“

“A good spot for lunch with awesome service and atmosphere. Music is on point even when it is slow. Food is fine. Burger is better than fast food and decent for the price point. Come for a beer and burger, but temper expectations. Good for the demo graphic.Parking: not bad parking but only about a dozen spots. Really good handicap parking though.Kid-friendliness: Good for the family but in a commercial area. A nice little sanctuary for a family trendily meal that dad will love too. Nice for the area“

“We enjoyed all of our food... apps, dinner, and dessert. Service and cook time were slow - it was a steady evening but never so busy that they had a visible wait of more than a couple minutes. We will certainly return again but it will never be a favorite place.“
“Great slot machines. Red wine is the best. Great chick selection. Play only the first slot from the left, Secrets of the Forest. Unable to make out due to bright light situation. Great smells though. Hours say until midnight, but Frank sent me to my room at 11:59. Popcorn is free, 5 stars. But tastes like Act 3 not Act 2. 1 star. A1 sauce confused for cabernet... i mean, it's the same color. Lousiana sauce does not taste original as promised on the label. Cheese not melted. Terrible.“
