“Great service perfect atmosphere“

“Michelle is the absolute best. She makes the atmosphere even better than what it already is by her love for her customers. 100% go back again“

“Kindly note that this is an adult wine and cocktail bar with carefully curated small plates, catering exclusively to a 21+ crowd. Great owners, staff, libations and eats. Served by Madison last night who was just delightful. No dress code but folks seem to take it up a notch from brewery wear.“

“I remember you Laura. You and your partner walked in while we were super busy. Maybe you didn't notice our heads down in the well making cocktail after cocktail after cocktail for the numerous satisfied guests. Each cocktail takes several minutes to construct. Our other guests seemed fine with the wait. While you seem more content with being a keyboard warrior. Service is something we take great pride in Laura, your lack of patience could really use some work. Oh, the elevator situated right next to the stairs may have helped get you up and down, sorry you didn't see it.“

“One of the best dive bars if not the best in Lockport. It's a known biker bar, serves popcorn, has miller high life. What else do you need? Place has plenty of character and characters inside. I don't know where the "best bloody mary's" came from. This is 100% false, do not expect a good bloody, maybe in the 90s but not anymore. Overall, great spot, great dive.“

“It is a very cozy and clean place, where you can enjoy sports or games of chance since it has gaming machines, the prices are quite affordable, they have a small menu, with very good flavor, the sandwich we ordered was accompanied by a delicious meat juice, good attention from the bartender, and you can play your music on the jukebox!“

“Great atmosphere, food, and drinks.“

“Brett is one of the best bartenders there no doubt. The new owner is awesome and friendly. Roccos is a great place for a casual night out for drinks and a good tome with friends“

“best place in the world to drink“

“We had a blast there this past Saturday saw a great band and met lots of new friends!!!!“

“Best Five Star Dive Bar in Town!!!“

“Always a good time .. good food great regulars and Terry actually cares about the place.“

“This is a standard biker destination. Great place to pull over and relax with a cold drink. Very friendly staff, great view of the river and all the passing river traffic from the outdoor deck. I come here wherever I'm out that way.“

“Aaron the bartender is great! Thank you! So friendly, so kind. The drinks are super fun / cute, and I especially recommend the pina colada. The service is excellent, the vibe is very cute. Went on a Tuesday night around 9-10:30 - it was quiet which was nice, but livened up towards the end. The drinks could be a bit better which is why I gave 4 stars and not 5 - but I'll absolutely be back :)“

“Bartender Kerri is the best shes got a great personality very friendly. She should be the full time bartender there, she comes up with the best drinks. Known her for a long time she love what she does always has a smile on her face. She said she’s only there on Sunday’s? Why I’d like to come to this bar more and she needs more days or evenings. This bar needs more business Kerri will bring it! 🥰“

“Great atmosphere a friend of mine dragged me there and even though I am not much of a drinker and wasn't in a drinking mood they manage to warm me up to the idea with a corona on the house and how can I refuse it at that point it was cleared they ware more than just a bar I highly recommend this place great people tending towards customer service.“

“Met some friends for the Cubs opening day game on one of several television screens. I ordered a half pound burger from Thayer Brothers which is next door. It was prepared perfectly paired with fries and some tasty chicken noodle soup. I was in the mood for a beer on tap and was told they have not had "on tap" for over two years due to the pandemic. I hope they get that situation remedied when I go back.“

“Part of a secret Society of pirates“

“Low key bar, not a big place but cozy. They have slot machines but no pool tables ? Bartender was very attentive to our needs and came over to chat while I was playing my favorite slot machine, she also enjoyed playing the same game. I know this is random but the Women's bathroom door was the cutest ever. Outside looks like a small cramped but nope. It was surprisingly big and clean“

“Beautiful people, love the skid marks“

“Food was really good. Drinks were very reasonably priced as well as the pizza we had. Joe came out and asked us how everything was. Loni was really nice and made sure if we needed something that we were well taken care of. I love the fact that they kept it true to how it was when originally built but with modern upgrades. Will for sure come back next time I go to visit my brother.
Update. Came back today, great food and drinks. Staff super friendly and helpful.“

“Ummmmm, I do not remember being here. I must have had one hell of a time because I do not remember being here at all. I do not drink too often, so if I was here and did drink, that would explain a lot.I guess I had a great time. I hope I did not cause any trouble. If I did, I apologize. It's those dang Coronas and tequila mixers that do it every time!I hope I kept my clothes on and did not swing from any chandeliers upside down naked.If I did, I made it home safe, and thank you for not calling the police on me. If I offended anyone, sorry.5 stars and great digs!“

“This is the City Tavern, Located on West Jefferson Street & Midland Ave. Great place to get a ice cold beer, mixed drinks, some shots. Watch a Cubs, White Sox baseball games, Chicago Bears football game. Black Hawks hockey game, 9 big screen TV'S to watch your favorite teams & Pro sports games on. Quick customer service friendly service with a ????????.“

“Just tried the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and corn. Haven't had it in a long time and boy was I pleasantly surprised. Very very yummy. And thank God the mashed potatoes were made from real potatoes. Definitely tasted home made. Prices are very good as well. I'll try few more dished in the coming weeks but right now 5 stars.“

“Everything! My favorite part is two pool tables but the owner is a close second. Great place Jerry has. Get yourself to the Bull Pen and enjoy.“

Atmosphere ver much is good vibes,i love the vibe.“

“We had an amazing time at Big Sammy’s celebrating our daughter’s Sweet 16. Taylor was great to work with setting everything up for the party and Cara was phenomenal at the party ensuring all of our 40+ guests had a drink in their hand and full plates! I highly recommend having your party there and stopping in for some delicious food!“
