Live music most weekends, outdoors in the summer in a large parking lot. Everybody who knows, goes there. John & Sparklyn are good people!“

“What a great bottle shop! I came to this shop specifically for a couple styles that were in stock as well as to pick up some Oktoberfest styles from breweries not available in my area. Really friendly proprietor with a clearly marked bottle selection. Prices were actually impressive! I've been to other bottle shops that were smaller and far more expensive. Enjoyed a tap at the bar as well. It was early on a Tuesday, so pretty quiet. I am sure the weekends get crazy. I even lucked into a parking spot right out front!“

She made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone in the group raved about how great she was. Thank You so much Maria. The food was fabulous. No one went away hungry for sure. So much variety and everything was fresh, hot and very flavorful. The little room we were in was just perfect for our size group and the ambiance was wonderful. We felt like we were special and it made a day of mourning for us a little easier. Thank You so much for all you did to make the luncheon something that people didn't want to leave.“

“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“

“Great people and fun environment“

“Bar and liquor store combo with a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a great selection of whiskey and beer.

We had our rehearsal dinner there, and it was exactly what we wanted. Very much our style. Saved us a bunch of money doing it there vs our other options. And the nice thing was that we were able to cater whatever food we wanted there.

We also got the spirits for our wedding through them. They had the best prices from everything we vetted, and we were able to return all the unopened bottles that were leftover after the event.

Thanks again to Dillon, the owner, who is a really nice guy!“

“Love this place the people that work are so nice and happy. It’s stocked really well to I enjoy going there for shopping it’s not the traditional grocery store but it’s has a nice selection of food. The snacks and frozen food from around the world make it easier to be adventurous with my meals.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are end less .

Dietary restrictions: It’s a smaller grocery store you pick up what you need .

“It resembles a preserved historical site. with a newly remodeled beer garden. Please check out this place as well as the ones I've suggested. If our oppressive government drives them out of business, they risk going out of business. Battle for them.“

“Slager's is the best! We hosted our engagement party in the party room and had an absolute blast! The space was perfect for our group, the vibes were great, and everyone had such a fun time!

Jimmy & the staff were friendly and accommodating, prices were very reasonable, and the overall atmosphere made it such an easy and stress-free place to celebrate. Karaoke later in the night was an added bonus and made the night even more fun!

Such a great local spot just outside the city — highly recommend for group gatherings, celebrations, or just a fun night out!“
