My gf saw a post about bingo at Madcats She's a sucker for bingo!!! So we came in on a Wednesday night April 3rd 2024 for the first time ever!! We walk in and we don't get greeted or felt welcomed? (But that changed throughout the night) Everyone seemed like a regular there and we felt everyone's eyes on us as we still stand there lost not knowing if we can sit wherever we want. So we decide to sit at the table closest to the door. Everyone had a bingo card already and we patiently waited to see if they would notice us but no. :( If the guy (I forgot his name ) with the computer doing the bingo had announced (if you still need a bing card to raise your cup or hand ) that would of helped lol I didn't know who to ask or talk to just to get some bingo cards. We finally secured bingo cards and we're excited!! A sever came quickly to our table asking if we want anything to drink and of course we just had water. The severs were really nice and attentive. The told us the deal of the night which were $5 off wings and who doesn't love wings?!?! So me and the gf ordered Buffalo garlic and garlic wings. While we waited the Ambiance was chill and relaxing. Music was good. We got the wings shortly after and man they were delicious! The garlic ones were a bit on the sweet side not my favorite but over all delicious. Smoky and juicy. We also got to celebrate with everyone the owner of Madcats HBD!! we all celebrated his birthday. It was cool to be apart of someone's birthday that you didn't know. We all sang like family and got a slice of cake if we wanted. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN! All night the servers were attentive which I loved! Bingo was fun! The prizes were great. Overall a fun time and definitely will bring my friends for bingo! See you soon Madcats.

I was the day of coordinator for a recent wedding that rented out MadCats for their after party. I worked with Sauvio who had great communication and is super personable & a great host. He worked the event!! Great expert. Great food. And an incredible atmosphere for all the guests. Everyone had a great time!!

First time here - what an excellent surprise! Terrific food & beverage, spot-on friendly & professional service, fair pricing - all in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Well-run and professionally managed jazz-jams and open mics. Really looking forward to going back often!

Great live music and cheap drinks - what could be better? We're so happy someone took over this spot after Mac's closed. And they kept the same greatness of Mac's with an updated menu and ambiance. This place is a Palatine staple everyone should frequent. One of our favorite spots!
The Staff there are just the nicest people in the world, they have fun events every week, it's a cozy venue.....it's a really great place to hang, be entertained and meet nice people.Vegetarian options: It's great that a vegan like me can eat there. Their vegetables & salads are so fresh and then there are fun things like Fried Green Tomatoes and Brussel Sprouts too!Parking: piece of cake

Super awesome place to check out local bands. Food is fantastic. Drinks are reasonably priced. It can get really crowded. Not a large bar. Go once, you will get hooked.

Food was sub-par. For $75 pp? I expected far more quality than this. Bad showing for Madcats.
