“We had my daughter’s baby shower today and everything was amazing! Our servers Gregory and Kosta were great! They attended to all our needs. The room we had the shower in was set up beautifully! The food was delicious as everyone said it would be that had their events there. My family had recommended Kefi as so do I for your special events. Thank you to everyone at Kefi for making it a very Special day for us!!“
“I go here 2-3 times a week to sing, drink and mingle with every customer. Everyone talks to you and the staff is the greatest line up anywhere. They love their customers and they like to have fun, as I have seen them dance to karaoke or just being silly with each other. The front deck is amazing and I can't wait for the fun meals once the kitchen is finished. I used to make this a once a year place, but now it is a must stop everytime if out for drinks. Thank you Eileen, Theresa, Karen, Darla and Tracy for making me feel welcome.“
“The place was NOT what you'd expect from the outside. It's a VERY CLEAN, newly decorated bar/pub table area. The food was above average! We had mushroom appetizers and burgers and they were both cooked to perfection and the fries were delicious. But what's not to love about WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO are FRIENDLY AND KIND THAT SERVES YOU. ANN was the bartender/ waitress and she was one of the nicest people we've met in a long time. Fun conversation, feel like I've known her forever!! Everything WAS GREAT and I've been a total "Karen" lately because of so many bad places!! PUB FOOD AT IT'S BEST, a diamond in the rough!! Give it a try!!!“
“So Good! Vast wine and beer selection, and great intimate atmosphere. I’ve gone by myself and with others, a blast every time. The toffee cake is so damn good, it’s outrageous. Mushroom flatbread is delicious too.*they rotate the wine selection; so if you have a favorite on the menu, write it down for your notes“
“The menu is rather limited and missing many staple dishes of Podhale - Baranina, Kwasnica, Oscypek, Smalec, Pstrag or Bryndza... Overall all not bad, but providing this is Chicagoland area with all the access to Polish foods, the culinary selections on your menu could be so much more specialized and refined.“

“I started this review ages ago and just noticed-having visited more than 5 years ago, my big takeaway from visiting was the passion and dedication of the two owners getting this unique bottle shop to open and thrive! They have a unique variety of handcrafted beers to satisfy any beer drinkers' taste preferences & I loved checking out how everything was thoughtfully displayed. I also loved their commitment to creating events for their community related to beer and otherwise. While I no longer live in the Chicago area, I remember wishing there was a place like Crafted closer to the apartment I lived in in Ukrainian Village. Owner Dan and his wife Kelli are the sweetest and provide great customer service and conversation!“
“Had a wonderful lunch for a monthly retired teacher group. Joe and Vicki gave us the room in the back. Our meals were fantastic and Paige, our server, was wonderful! We were celebrating a 70th birthday and we were treated to several amazing desserts. The service was above and beyond our expectations. We booked our Christmas party here in December.“
“This is not your typical ‘bar food’. Everything we have tried there is higher quality Restaurant Food. Bartenders … especially Artie and Kristy are attentive, efficient and fun ! The 0wner, Tommy is usually hanging around and is friendly and accommodating. Sometimes due to allergies I have to alter the menu a little and he doesn’t hesitate to switch things around a little… Do yourself a favor… stop in for a great meal and enjoy a friendly atmosphere.“
“I come here once in a while for breakfast. I love their American breakfast. The potatoes are really good, the sausage is tasty and best to have a mimosa with my breakfast is great too. Great to see a bar serving breakfast food on the weekends. Change of atmosphere and great place to be at.“
“Classic old cash dive bar with slots, darts and an ATM to pay for your drinks. Live music, check schedule, food is slim Pickens, but occasionally they bring in food for customers. They do have frozen za for a quick bite along with other snacks year round. Best deal offered is they will buy your first drink. The owner will stock Malort if you drink it, I believe I drank the last bottle ?. Check this place out when you're out cruising 159th on the Southside, in Oak Forest, IL.Parking: Watch out for us smokers.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, shouldn't have any issue maneuvering“
“Was doing a little bar hopping and found this hidden gem. They have pool, slots, darts and Touch Tunes for music which worked for us. Service was friendly and the prices were good too. Didn't serve any wine though so I had to swich up my drinks. All in all, a nice spot!“
“Staff was more than helpful and friendly especially since I know I tend to ask questions others do not but I also always do things 100% if I'm doing it otherwise forced might be 20% that ends up like most ppls good enough >80% Prices for tables was surprisingly reasonable per hour since I was expecting it to have doubled since Y2K plus there's a bar attached for those that are not playing on full size tables and teaching 9 ball w 100% tournament rules to 1st timer, was surprised that they have a league but they use bar sized tables not sure if that's something new or two cater to the generation now vs the Minnesota Fats era playersHaving run/owned a large successful event promotion company w sold out shows at top Chicago venues and nightclubs dealing with atmosphere and alcohol along with that guy is a learned skill, though it is a free country, I'd rather not have had that guy who doesnt wanna go home, come bother us to play, esp mid game w $ per ball in play, then disappear >30 mins when he wanted to break (got a 9ball win in against his much more lvl headed younger associate after saying its gonna be a while I'm guessing you just wanna play 9 if ur buddy's a talker)?That if I owned it I'd have said something to him tgfo to his table or to myself on the side at least just to read if I might have problems w the guy later and make sure the broke regular isn't scaring new biz away, based on my dress and demener, plus I had called a cpl hrs earlier w lots of ?'s since last min idea to take coworker to get their mind off things n off the phone, but asked about buying a cue if they sold them, when I got there also fully knowing markup would be high but they didn't have ne premade ones so just grabbed a glove since don't have chalk/powderYou could bring food and hydration powder just not my own hand powder (A negitive cuz I have hyperhydrosis but only 1.8% of population has it mostly less severe, so I get it except if I'm going in a real tournament).That guy had the kid not decide he was gonna go back to his place w him alone and trust he'll get back home, when he has no license or way to Uber even, liked it also but dude was a nuisance, esp as he's trying to stream himself (InfoSec gtf outta my face w it or if it breaks don't get mad at me, IL is still 2 party consent) while trying to flow, if it even deserves that word, from 40yr guy mad after finally getting that I'm not 1/2 his age bro, rather older like when he 1st told me he's 2x, like ok u might be a creep then too if that's impt to say 1st, minus that then having to remind coworker/him to clean their stuff by doing it myself n telling they followed the heard but took 30mins n a cpl cues almost left but took balls back cleaned up already, like he's a grown kid/adult idc it's his decesion, even though 1/2 the reason to take him out was to keep him out of trouble n give run down on what many exp/seen w kids and custody esp being 1st time and naive to women n think she isn't out there or a risk when family is personal injury attorney n u got some dui crash on record still a cpl ppl fig'd a few guys w varied exp might help get it into his head, but yea w/e place was good, full size tables say 8/10 or as expected, atmosphere fine w 1 exception if you drink or break your sealMake sure they don't put you in the corner the furthest from the bar and restrooms if you plan to use the bar a bit or got runs?Pretty sure it goes un-noticed by most, but not great for business either since they were spending more time walking to the bar and bathroom then playing and could have spent more as I was gonna get a pizza vs the way overpriced vending machine junk also far enough I didn't go back to it.Unsure about their tournaments/league, but the guy I played 9 ball w/ waiting for the other 2 had said he goes on day off from open till 6 or so cuz its $10 till that time vs by the hr which is a great price to get ur game up n competition.“

“Very welcoming to non-regulars. We're from out of state for a conference and were looking for a neighborhood bar. Perfect. Staff are quick and very friendly! They even put our MN Wild on TV for us even though 3 Chicago teams are playing tonight. If you're looking for a down home bar, this is a great place!! Didn't eat here but food looks good!“
“Very cool environment, just went there before Christmas with work buddies. Tara was our bartender, she was a great time & took care of all our needs. Annie was another bartender there that was super social & absolutely awesome to talk to. I'd highly recommend this place for a great social experience & high energy good time!“
“We went tonight for dinner and were shocked!As regular customers we were surprised by the UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT sign. We were also told NO ALCOHOL.Jose you and your family will be missed. We are saddened that we were unable to say ..you will be missed and your in our thoughts and prayers. We hope to see you again soon!Mike & Louise , your friends at the bar!“
“A cozy place to chill and have a few drinks with friends, this local pub feels more like home than any bar I've been to. Sitting on the deck reminds me of family gatherings where we'd sit around and tell stories with beers in hand. The bartender kept her head on a swivel, always quick to grab your next drink before you've even had a chance to ask.Music was just the right volume to hear all the words to your favorite song without missing any of the conversation right next to you. Excellent atmosphere, will definitely be back again.“
“Super cute coffee/ brunch/ bar. Super clean , and amazing staff. Expresso martinis are ideal ,and my favorite there. Heads up it isn’t chocolate on top it is a coffee bean ? I think their signage is adorable as well. How you bean? Hahaha such a cute sign.“
“Omg!! First time going there, walked in, and everyone in the bar said hello. Very friendly bar and grill. Food off the chain. Excellent!! Fish was great, burger was great. Very clean place. Friendly service. Bartender was so nice. Can't wait to go back. Im getting the fried chicken!! Highly recommend this place!! If I could give 10 stars, I would!!“
“This place is tops!!! Absolutely great food in a hole in the wall bar. It has a "bar" vibe, but don't let that dissuade you. We will even bring our kids here during the day. My favorite item is the flame burger, made as a chicken sandwich (you can substitute chicken for burger), with fries and ranch. Would often come here for date nights and would also get carry out anytime I was in the area. It's just delicious food. They will also do some seasonal cocktails, which are fun to try, and always have good prices.“
“Went Saturday night for pizza. It's was amazing. The dough was homemade. Paper thin crust that is their specialty. The sauce is homemade. The cheese is rich. The place is run by a nice,hard-working Italian couple.Had a cold MillerLite. Doesn't get much better than this. PS The chicken parm is outstanding.“
“It's a small town bar with what I believe are regulars. It hasn't been updated....well, maybe once a long time ago. It seems everybody knows each other, but some younger people are coming in to eat too. Their food is good, but the cheeseburgers are to die for!“
“Pretty good little bar. The owner is a hell of a nice guy. I believe he owns "The Whistle" as well. Drinks are good. Bartenders are nice. Jukebox is solid. It's not the Taj Mahal but it's welcoming. Support this business. FYI, they do not serve food.“
“It is nice to see kids from the 1970s still in there and having fun...But seriously, the bartender is cute and courteous and the clientele ages range from early 20s to early 70s, just like the old corner saloons on the Southside of Chicago. Good atmosphere.“
“Great Bar, great owners and great bartenders!! As for James Suefert’s review, I have been in the bar three times you were, and let me explain, the first time you fell asleep at the bar, the second time you tried to walk away with the Family Fued workers phone and the third time you propositioned one of the bartenders in the worst way. I can understand if you feel your service was below service, it’s you!!!!“
“First time there, I was having service done to my car, two blocks away, when I stumbled into this place, it's a quiet with what it looked like the regulars, enjoying there beverages, I was taken care of right away, and I ordered the 3/4 lbs cheeseburger, with fries, the beer was cold, and the cheeseburger was big, and very tasty, I enjoyed it a lot, it's a nice place to go have good food and good service, I've been back several times since.“
“This is a small yet cozy bar. Mostly regulars and I'm pretty sure it's cash only. Decent music selection, no food, an interesting dresser in the womens bathroom, a pool table, a few gaming machines and some booths make up this bar.“
“This is a pretty good bar. Every time I've been here the staff and patrons have all been nice. The bars seems to be clean. I haven't tired the food here yet, but when I do I'll update my review. If you want a cold beer, then it's not a bad place to come to.“
“Charles is the BEST! We had dinner at the restaurant next to Kiki's, the restaurant's bathroom was out of use and Charles was a kind gentleman to let our friend use the restroom during dinner. We decided to stop at Kiki's after dinner for some drinks and to play the games. Myself and 2 friends ended up having a great night chatting away with Charles, listening to Motown, and playing the games. The place was extremely clean and very welcoming. We've already talked about having a girl's night there for drinks and gaming, we will definitely be back to visit Charles!“
“Cool bar. They have slot machines, bathrooms at both end of the bar, a cute little gazebo outside that's enclosed with a TV that's very nice. A lot of different drinks and just a nice little atmosphere. The only thing negative was the bartender was hard to trackdown. Either she was outside smoking or in the back talking on the phone. Waiting for her to serve us was a long time. She was nice but not very efficient. But I will say I do recommend this bar“
“Great live music and the girls working there are always polite and very quick with service. Atmosphere is always welcoming and the crowd always has more new faces that become friends.Parking: The Italian restaurant in the center of the strip mall allows for the over flow to use thier lot as well. Between the orange flags is a Motorcycle Only parking are for around 20 bikes, these spots are always available just outside the front door.“
“The best pub in the south suburbs. You will always feel welcome, lots of fun and full of amazing workers. Eileen is so amazing will throw together a party so you don’t have to worry. Great entertainment and a fabulous beer garden. Super fun events hosted including Sunday fundays, derby day and lots of Irish culture. Stop in for a cold one you won’t be disappointed!!“
“Not going to lie I do love me a good "dive" tavern however not one that is really "clique-ish" and give you dirty looks because you're not a regular. OPT fka as Gracie's is not that place. It's OLD and the decor is grandma's basement but we always have a fun time there. There are old timers; young'uns (depending on time of day / night) and every bartender I've ever encountered has been gracious. Pool is free and food is your burger/chips.“
“What a great experience! We rented the hall for a party. The people there are so friendly and out going. We had so much fun and made so many new friends. The grounds outside are just beautiful. We played bags, had a bon fire, and chatted with friends all night long.“
“This is a great sports bar to hang out at and have a few drinks. I love it because it has a dart board. There is also a pool table here too. Came here last night with my bf to see the live band and play some darts. The food I give 5 stars to Mr. Beef’s beef sandwiches. I don’t know how Mugshots food tastes because I only come for Mr. Beef’s sandwiches. The live band was okay. They played good music but it was kind of hard hearing the singers voice. The drinks here are made well. Friendly and great customer service here.“
“Haya is absolutely amazing! My sister went and got her hair done and well the picture speaks for itself. She really connects with her clients and make sure everything is the way you want it! She make sure you leave the salon feeling FABULOUS! She uses amazing products and not to mention but her salon is gorgeous!! 10/10 recommend!“
