“Very poorly managed… keeps people waiting instead of setting up bottom floor so clients can hangout comfortably and stay having a fun time. Security needs training“

Beermiscuous Bar • $
552 Sheridan Road Suite 2 - Ground, Highwood - 10.32 miles

“It’s good to know that the SpongeBob ice cream bars are now back. This is dope. Whats not dope is the gumball eyeballs are no longer and you can’t be an Oompa Loompa like me - you’ll a need step stool to restock the TP for your Bungholio! … or bring that friendly face at the bar to bring into the restroom to help you out with the TP. Kind of awkward I must say but hey gotta do what you gotta do. Also Beavis would NOT approve. Also the North Shore mom who complained about King Gizzard playing and it being too loud and then asked if her kid can have a job… sorry babe but he’s not getting a job! Don’t dish the Gizz!!! Also don’t ask for a side pull when in front of me, it takes too long for me to wait for you to get a beer. Drink the beer the way God wanted you to. Also leave your kids at home unless they know how to clean. If you have time to lean, your kids have the time to clean. I’m sorry but if you’re bringing your kiddos to a bar, make them work so they don’t up like me or you or those guys over there who’s been here for 6 hours trying to get the #1 spot on the “closest alcoholic anonymous” board. kids from the north shore can clean and bust tables and clean windows too. Also not sure on the return policy at this place. I tried to return the cans after I drunk them for a full refund but they were on to my game even after drawing a mustache on my face and came in with an accent. Next time I’ll try a Halloween outfit. Also It’s the breweries fault for making good beer. Also I would highly suggest more fire drinks! Fire is cool. Thank you.“

“The food here is PHENOMENAL, everything we ordered was SO GOOD. We were in a huge group and we ate "family style" where we just took a bit and passed the dish down till we were all satisfied. My favorite was the sauce from the calamari with the potatoes from any dish. We also ordered the dessert, they were out of the vanilla one but WOW the chocolate raspberry was so rich and decadent.

Parking: Street parking is paid in some areas, free in others and very hard to find. There is a free lot down the street behind the "art wall", just be mindful of your car's undercarriage clearance because if you have a sedan, you will scrape getting in and out of the lot. Higher clearance vehicles (truck, suv) would probably be fine. There is a second entrance about 20 feet further than the first entrance that's less bad, the incline/ decline won't scrape your car so badly but it still scraped my car a little on the way out. The first entrance made me worry I'd lose my oil pan (I didn't, car is fine). Lowered vehicles have no hope of getting in or out of the lot without damage.“
