It is always fun, there are always new songs, and the performers are amazingly talented. Christian, Tony, Anthony and Jeremy (sorry for any misspellings) are very creative, charismatic and always put on a great show. Our favorite servers are Bree and Miriam. Can't wait to come back!“

“Extensive selection of whiskeys and food menu. Good for quick bites or something more substantial.

Went for the pesto chicken with sweet potato tots, delicious. Mango lime cake is the highlight, light and refreshing!

Natalie and crew are very attentive and great company.

A must visit when in the Lombard area. Cheers!!“

“We hosted a party at the Patina Wine Bar in Mt Prospect last weekend and cannot say enough great things about this place. The staff is so wonderful! Everyone was so nice and easy to work with. The food was all so delicious and I could’ve stayed hours later trying all the wonderful wines they had.“

“Wow. I had the soup/stew. It was great. Don't miss the garden. Koi pond. Lester the owner has stories. This is where waiters and waitresses go.“

“great place. good people and awesome food!!“

“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“

“Had an Italian beef sandwich here today and it was very good. Not as good as Johnnie's or Al's, but still very good considering that you're at the airport. Plenty of peppers and giardiniera if you ask for it spicy. Service was very quick and friendly as well. Not a big ship, just a little bar that serves Chicago dogs and Italian beef and for for good prices. A great find!!“

“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!“

“This is not just your average bar. This is THEE Horseshoe Inn not just the horseshoe inn. There's a difference... This place has and is the epitome of history and mystery!! It's a place full of locals that you can only find here!! It's got a fascinating back story and a ton of not just local history but Chicago history.! This is one of the places that the Irish Mafia used to hang out in!!! A place where the murder mystery is alive and unsolved!!! You come to a place like this and you can feel the history, feel it in your soul!! You want to check this place out!!! Ask anyone here about the history and they will tell you straight out!! Are you in the mood for a drink??? Get it here!! Are you in the mood for a quick bite?? Well you can get it here too along with a nice fresh tap or bottle of what ever beer you like!!! So let me tell you that if you are a ghost hunter?? You can find some ghosts here!! Are you a ghost buster?? Don't come here because they like their ghosts!! I hope this helps!!
