“This cute pub/restaurant offers a large variety of very affordable dishes which also include daily specials so be sure to ask your server for daily offerings.

I personally came here for food not alcoholic beverages and I brought my service dog with me on both visits.

First day I ordered their johnson bratwurst extremely delicious if you choose to add sauerkraut too and it comes with a choice of side so I got the seasoned curly fries and my Pyrenees gave it an enthusiastic 5 paws 🐾 up even though he only has 4 paws. The pub is very casual and an older group of men seem to be frequent customers here.

Yesterday my second visit I had my friend come here to and he also loved his order a very generous Bowl of chicken soup and a fish sandwich and I got the fish tacos with a small side of Spanish rice.

Everything is simple, inexpensive and tasty and very close to the Palatine Metra station in case you need to kill time before catching your train.

Servers here on both occasions are kept quite busy and are extremely friendly. A great place to relax with cheap eats.“

They were so helpful, let us set up early, refrigerated a cake for us, had appetizers out super quick! There was probably about 40 of us and the bartenders/waiters were awesome… it was a huge success! Definitely think of Alley 64 for a group/party options!“

The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere with live music was incredible, and the entire team was exceptionally professional, making the evening feel so special.

A special thank you to Aman — 100% out of 100%! His service was outstanding. I never had to remind him of anything; he anticipated our needs, paid attention to every detail, and understood us without a word.

Thanks to the entire Ethno team, I now have one more beautiful memory that I will cherish for years to come. Besides, their team created a very nice video of our celebration!

“OMG!!! Flying from KC to Fort Lauderdale, I wish every bar around the country had a bartender like Karolina at Jazz the bar in Chicago airport. She is amazing welcome, full knowledgeable about drinks, always have a smile on her face and made my time of waiting for a flight connection way better. Thank Karolina, and I hopeI will be flying to Chicago soon, just to stop and say hi.“

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!“

“My waiter was good and friendly. I sat in covered patio. I ordered a spring salad with shrimp. blackberries, grapefruit, candied pecans, arugula and berry vinaigrette and a side of Mac n cheese. The salad was missing the pecans but I forgot until I left, I thought something was missing. However, the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The ratio of shrimp to half portion was good. Mac N Cheese was ok. Noodles were undercooked and some still hard/crunchy edges and cheese sauce was just average and a bit gritty/thick. However, I was not expecting my meal to be served with plastic wrapped plastic utensils. a take home box for salad and a take home container for dining in. That was disappointing. the table of eight next to me was a bit shocked too to get their meals in to go cardboard containers.“

“Came here for the first time recently. Don't know why it took so long! We live close by. Great onion rings and pizza, good fast service, enjoyed the free popcorn too! Very nice, clean atmosphere. Will definitely come again!“
