IBIZA

IBIZA Bar •
17 N Genesee St, Waukegan

“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.“

552 Sheridan Road Suite 2 - Ground, Highwood - 10.32 miles

“My wife and I randomly discovered this place, and it didn't disappoint! We were hoping to find a chill spot to grab a drink with low-key vibes, and this was exactly the place we were looking for. They have fantastic beer, easy-going nature, and it just feels like a place you want to hang. They have an awesome array of board games which we love, and took part in. We had to cut the night short but it was a spot we could have stayed for hours. We now know exactly where to hit up next time we go to Highwood!“

Gambas Al Ajillo

“A group of us went here last night. It was fantastic in every way. From the moment we walked in it felt like we were in Spain- from the greeting by the waiters when we walked in, to the music, the wine bottles on the wall .... And most of all... THE FOOD!!! The Gambas Al Ajillo was the standout dish- so incredibly flavorful and authentic- but more flavor than most tapas bars I went to in Barcelona. We also had the octopus, chuleton steak, patatas bravas and like 9 more. Everything better than the next. My friends husband said the steak was one of best steaks he's ever had. The wine list was well curated, amazing job there and the vermouth hit the spot. We loved the cava. The service was top notch- Juan our waiter explained each dish and his recommendations were perfect. The food comes out fast - the whole staff did a wonderful job. It really shows how much they love their jobs-everyone was smiling and laughing. It is a bit loud at times because the dining room is small but we loved the whole vibe. What a hidden gem!!! Can't wait to go back and order takeout!“

“My family of 6 loved this place so much we came back 2 nights in a row. Even though we came at peak times, manager Chris got us seated quickly. He was so efficient, kind, and helpful! Rosie was our server both nights, and she was phenomenal. If we could start a fan club for her, we would. She gave excellent suggestions for menu and drink choices. My younger children raved about the kids meals. In fact, the 10 year old declared it the best cheeseburger she’s ever had, and her favorite restaurant ever. We sampled many appetizers and entree options, and everything was delicious. The food quality was top-notch, and my tweens were big fans of the vibe of the place. Highly recommend.Kid-friendliness: Kids meals are great portion sizes, even for older kids. Meals are served in a bento box, which my kids loved. We also appreciated the non-French fry side choices.“

“Very large and friendly brewery. Mostly Ballast point beer, hard to complain about fresh top tier west coast brews. Increasing their own Kings and Convicts brews, larger scale than local microbrews but remain high in quality and prices are very fair. Golf simulators for this inclined. Very family and dog friendly.“

“Came here on a Sunday night after work. This was my first time coming here. I like the vibe from this place. A great place to just chill with friends and have a drink. We ended up sitting at the bar and the bartender was very attentive. We ended up ordering drinks and a couple of appetizers. We ordered the hot honey chicken sliders, pub sliders and boneless wings. Everything was so delicious. Our favorite was the hot honey chicken sliders. They also had golf simulators in the restaurant which we'll try the next time.“
