“I went to Lucky Scottie for the first time. I've been invited by a friend who sings but never made it. I was impressed with the place in Waukegan. I'll be back soon. Keep up the good work!“

“We got here for the post Polar Plunge free drink promotion. My friend and I received our free drink, and because the bartender, Bonnie, was attentive and sweet, we stayed for a couple more drinks and ordered some food. Would totally return when next in the area. . . With any luck Bonnie will be working.“

“If you're looking for a place with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely worth checking out! 😊 From the moment you walk in, you’re treated more like family than just another customer ❤. The staff and regular guests create a friendly and comfortable environment that makes it easy to feel at home. 🍻
One of the best things about this spot is the crowd. If you're outgoing and enjoy meeting new people, you'll find plenty of friendly regulars who are always happy to chat and make newcomers feel welcome 😄. On the other hand, if you prefer a quieter experience, there are also cozy tables where you can relax, enjoy your drink, and keep to yourself without feeling out of place ☕✨.
It’s the kind of place that offers the best of both worlds—great company when you want it and a comfortable corner when you don’t. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxed, friendly, and inviting atmosphere! ⭐👏“

“Good drinks & great bartenders.“

“A spot found randomly while looking for lunch on a long bike ride from Chicago. Nashville hot chicken is VERY tasty, and the seasoned fries are excellent. Great spot for food and beer. Incredible bartending service by Tanya. Was a Saturday afternoon experience. Recommended!“

“Came in from out of town to visit some child hood friends and it was a blast. The bartenders not only served great drinks but where quick with making them. Also got to see local celebrity Karina Borelli ( IG:borelli.karina) but couldn't get close enough to get an autograph. Next time I back in town I will definitely stop bye.“

Overall, La Zona 84 delivers an excellent experience in every way. It’s definitely a place you’ll want to come back to again and again.“

“Great Tyme's, Mucho Lubbb, 💯👉👆💯❤️😇🙏“

“Great spot to enjoy reggaeton and old Latin throwbacks. At least on the night we went. Security was on point and took all the required precautions with drunk people trying to ruin the fun for everyone else. The space is a little tight and crowded but other than that we enjoyed the dancing and drinks.“
