“Improving Fairfield everyday! This is a family of different personalities- 6 gaming machines-- Friday night pool games- yes we may be "ran down" compared to some but we make up for our cosmetic shortcomings with spicy and unique bartenders and regulars! I ask you to just give the Tap-less a chance! Come in on Mondays for 1$ domestic cans 11a- 11p (open until 1am on mondays) also on Fridays we have $2.50 imports open- 9pm! Come watch some of our family play pool!“

“Stopped in after golf. Great atmosphere, fantastic service and excellent food. Hope to come back when in the neighborhood!“

“There is nothing about this place I don't recommend. The meads are amazing, their Cocktail Master is amazing at coming up with unusual combinations, and is great fun to talk to. The music mix is great as well (but possibly because I'm old 😁)! Overall, the place is extremely welcoming, with a selection of games and sofas so you can sit and enjoy your drinks and socialize.“

“Since its transformation into Taylor’s on Toft, this bar has established itself as one of Antioch’s most polished and welcoming drinking destinations. The owner—often found behind the bar—sets the tone with a warm, personable presence that immediately makes guests feel at ease. Her cocktail craftsmanship is equally impressive: the Manhattan is exemplary, balanced and precise, while the martinis are consistently excellent, executed with confidence and restraint. The ambiance strikes an ideal note—refined yet relaxed—making it a natural choice for a pre-dinner aperitif or a lingering post-meal nightcap. During a recent visit, a live singing group added a festive touch, infusing the space with genuine Christmas cheer without overwhelming the intimate atmosphere. While we have not yet sampled the food, dishes arriving at neighboring tables are beautifully presented and look enticing, suggesting the bar program is thoughtfully complemented by the kitchen. Taylor’s on Toft is a standout in Antioch: a place defined by gracious hospitality, expertly made cocktails, and an atmosphere that invites return visits. Highly recommended.“

“I totally enjoy the skill of all the wait staff, their ability to inform, enjoy conversation, and do the run down on what the band is like. Owners Tom & Karen are gregarious, fun, interesting people and provide GREAT talented local musicians. The music scene in Wauconda, Illinois is 10 out of ten...bar hopping encouraged. French Martini with Chambourg, an 11 and one drink, my limit...usually. Dancing...FUN! Especially when Karen agrees. Lol. And occasionally, or perhaps too often singing back up to Motown song fulfills my fantasy to be a Temptation, a Top, Little Stevie Wonder, or Marvin Gaye & Tammy Terrell. And yes, the Jackson 5. But there's no mountain higher than backup to a Supremes song, except for a Diana song, or Tina is Simply The Best! But Diana's he PEAK, & so is STRAWBERRY MOON. CHECK IT OUT. WAKANDA FOREVER, on Main Street“

“The best spot for craft beer & live music!!“

“Wonderful place to land!!!!“

“My husband just brought home food from Fogcutter, and as usual the food is amazing!! the pizza is my favorite in all of Lake County. I literally day dream about those garlic green beans. And this was my first time trying the mashed potatoes, and no shocker, fantastic! Thank you for being the best!“

“We rented Bliss out for a private party and couldn't recommend it more! The owner, Alex, went above and beyond- communicating quickly, answering every question, and giving us total freedom to decorate and rearrange the space to fit our needs. It made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend for any event or stopping for a glass of wine“

“We had fish fry-baked cod, and baked perch, hush puppies, amazing potato salad and coleslaw. Really good! Pleasantly surprised! Good service, too.“

“Love this neighborhood bar. I live in the Pistakee Highlands subd. Cash only but very affordable. It has a pool table and dart boards. They also have popcorn for self serve. When I have a night out on the town this is usually where we end up. I've always felt safe being here because all the customers are locals and know one another.“

Definitely a hidden treasure. Would definitely recommend for your next party.“

“Went and had lunch here today! I had not been here since a child, we went every weekend for breakfast. The drinks were great and food was delicious! I have not had a good Reuben in awhile and this one hit the spot. Most of the boys had the tacos and raved about the sauces! Great service and prices as well. We will be back!“

“I love dive bars. Hilltop is perfect in my opinion. Cheap drinks, Great service and low lighting. Is there anything else we need for a good dive? It doesn't smell funky, which is hard to find in the area . Great place to play pool or gamble on your evening out.“

“While visiting family over Christmas, our group walked across the street to Charlie's because we noticed a lot of people going there. The place was packed with friendly, happy people. There was only one bartender and she hustled with intention, a smile and a great sense of humor. We played darts most of the time, but I couldn't help but notice the atmosphere. It felt safe, warm, and happy. I will definitely return to this establishment my next visit.Thank you for the wonderful service!“

“We stopped in to listen to L & M EXPERIENCE. Have never been to this place. The bartender la were fantastic and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised how affordable their drinks were. I had to ask her was she sure of the cost before I paid her.
We will be back. They have a great pool room and their slot machines are in a separate room set up very nicely. My husband ordered a. Diet coke and he pulled his money out and they said Pop is free. That was also surprising.“
