“PS Pub truly exhibits everything a neighborhood bar is supposed to be good people unwinding enjoying different ales and spirits sharing conversation and having a laugh. up until now I've always shopped at the liquor store next door, I stopped in for my favorite blue moon with a wedge of Orange ice cold and on tap well I guess I found myself having a few and when I'm feeling that way I gaze upon the pretty bottles of spirits Tequila's rums whiskeys from all over the place and that little demon in my belly says "send it my way" so I settled on a peanut butter whiskey I love them if that's your thing you know they have malort which I've never actually tried I hear it's an acquired taste perhaps another time they've got a nice little popcorn machine that puts it out I like to snack a bit while I'm putting them down. friendly service really nice people from the neighborhood and a great place to unwind. so although it doesn't look like much from the outside you know judging that book by its cover thing stop in belly up and enjoy yourself“

“I was delighted to visit this restaurant! The atmosphere is very cozy, with pleasant decor and attentive staff. Every dish I tried was a real masterpiece, from appetizers to dessert. The assortment of kebabs was especially impressive: its taste, presentation and quality of products were at the highest level.

The service was at an excellent level - the waiters are polite, quickly respond to all requests and help with the choice of dishes.

This is a place where you want to spend time with friends or family. Will definitely be back again to try something new from their varied menu. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“My husband and I are visiting from Arizona and were meeting some friends in The Glen. We planned on going to The Yardhouse, but thought it was too noisy. Saw the reviews for The Oak and we were so glad we did. The burger I had was the best burger I have ever had, our friend felt the same. My husband and our other friend had the rueben, they loved them also. We left the restaurant and we were going to take individual pics, then this really nice guy offered to take a picture of all of us. He was so very nice. Guess what, he was the owner. We will definitely be back on our next visit here and our friends will be back sooner. Great food!!!!“

“We have discovered this place 3 years ago when we are searching for an outdoor casual dining. What we found was a great place that had outdoor seating on a deck patio with umbrellas and a TV set to watch sporting events. The service was friendly, and the food was great. The drinks were very reasonable. The menu was large having everything from sandwiches to dinners. We never had a bad experience there and brought family and friends to enjoy the evening sitting outside. We always come back.“

“Try their chili! It is the best. Great atmosphere.“

“Always a fun time at Oak Trail.“

“For bar-and-grill just coming in the town need a place to stop offers a good place to stop and close to my hotel Good friendly service food was decent If I ever come back this way I'll go back again“

“All I know is that the food is so good that I have been here 3 times since it opened (Which has been less then 6 months). I know I should branch out and try the other offerings but I just really love the Tori Paitan and will be back more when the cooler weather is fully settled in.
I also sincerely appreciate that there are good non-alcoholic mixed drinks, because sometimes someone just wants a fun mixed drink but none of the alcohol and there's quite a few options here- expanded even from the menu pictured on Google. There's a really good Yuzu based drink that I also keep getting that is my favorite.
The atmosphere is higher end but not pretentious, and cozy while still being open.

I look forward to bringing more of my friends here.

Parking: Fair amount of parking but it's in a strip mall with other restaurants so you're not always able to find a spot immediately. There's usually more parking in the back“

“Love outdoor options in the summer. Even with a crazy weekend of 56 Music Fix everything was on point with food and service. I loved seeing Chris step in and help anywhere and everywhere he needed to.“

“We rented the sun room for a team party. It was a great space, nicely decorated, good food, helpful service - already talking about coming back for our next team meal!“

“Happened upon this darling restaurant while in Chicago. Really good service and fantastic food. The coconut shrimp was probably the best I have ever had. And the elote was amazing.“

“Tasty, tasty, tasty! Husband and I both loved our choices!“

“We were in Chicago from the Puyallup Wa area. We are always on the lookout for a great neighborhood bar, and this is it! We arrived at a bit of a lull and got a seat at the bar.
The waitress was great. She took care of us and the other guests were very friendly, even sharing their Trader Joe’s popcorn, and even bought us shots.
If you are in the area this bar is a must visit for a good hometown feel even when you are across the country!“

“This is one of those rare first-time stops that you make in life. You have a beverage, the clientele and staff make you feel welcome, & soon you're part of this warm, friendly family. Stay well!“

“My neighborhood meeting place. Great food, drinks, people, and atmosphere“

“An impromptu decision to stop by the Privilege bar this evening after a long work day turned out to be the best decision for a relaxing evening. The bar located at the rooftop of the Mondrian Itaewon in Seoul only opens from 6pm and we arrived half an hour earlier but the staff on duty was accommodating to allow us to take a seat and have a look around. Great panoramic view and we arrived just in time to catch the sunset. Love the vibe and music choice. Met with Tobbig Shin, F&B Assistant / Bar Manager who arrived from Singapore after a short stint doing a pop up in Mondrian Singapore. Highly recommend to try their signature cocktail “The P.T (Privilege Gin & Tonic)”, 5 stars for creativity and distinct taste, the pairing of Sonbi Gin and tonic. Jay, the Bartender served us and he graciously included a very detailed introduction - Sonbi Gin is distilled from 100% corn. Made with 10 botanicals including juniper, Schisandra berries, Chinese licorice, grains of paradise, cassia, green cardamom, coriander, lemon peel, orris root, and Angelica root. We had a second cocktail at their recommendation, Sun & Moon, made with Tokki Soju Black Label, Roasted Barley, Lemon, Pineapple and Crafted Moon Candy. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in Seoul!“

“Nice place with good food and good drink.“

“Cheers. This is a quintessential dive bar where everybody eventually knows your name. A good place to be alone or regale with friends. I’ve visited at least a half dozen times and the experience has been fine. Trish and the other bartenders have been attentive and quite friendly. I’ll be back time and time again.“

“Always had a great experience there. Will, the bartender, is great!!!“

“Stopped in today and was hoping to see the owner. I met him when Violet’s first opened. Maria was there today. I really enjoyed our conversation. 😀“

“👍 great place. Stop by and make some friends“

“If you’re looking for the perfect blend of great drinks, welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service, Miner Tavern in Des Plaines is the place to be. The bartenders are friendly and know their craft, the cocktails are expertly made, and the beer selection has something for everyone. The vibe strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lively—whether you’re stopping by for a casual drink or a night out with friends. The attention to detail in the decor gives it a unique character, and the food? Way better than your average bar fare! If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. This place is pure gold!“

“We had a party of 6. 4 meals were correct. One was entirely wrong and the correct meal didn't come until we were almost done. One persons hamburger was missing the greens but the waiter was messing w the incorrect meal so didn't come back to fix the burger mess up. It wasn't busy either. Sunday around 2:30. Nothing was comped or some $ taken off. A bit disappointed. Other 4 meals were good.“

“We had our sons High School Graduation party in the main level party room and I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to the Edison Park Inn team, especially Dennis who worked with us to get all the details knocked out and made the process very easy and our absolutely wonderful server Michelle, she was FANTASTIC! She made every guest feel warm and welcome. the pizzas were hot and fresh, the salad was perfect and the chicken is still being raved about today. Booking EPI's was exactly what we were hoping for, a laid back atmosphere where the younger kids could move around and the older kids felt at home, the adults, well we had a great time and could not have been happier. I HIGHLY recommend EPI for your party needs, you cannot go wrong.“

“Great dive bar for a late night drink. I haven’t had the food there so can’t rate it. There’s a small outdoor area that’s fun to hang out in. There’s a poop table and some dart board machines, and occasionally they have bands that play. Highly recommend for those looking for a drink after the rest of Highwood shuts down.“
