    Our bartender cut off a LOUD DRUNK and kicked him out :) This is a good upscale bar with large selection of beer, some wine and simple cocktails. Dinning room area is big enough to bring a date, a large family or party with group of friends. The bar is pretty long with 30-40 bar stools. We have been here before and burgers here are great but this time we stopped in for few drinks and appetizers. The pulled duck nachos are my FAVORITE appetizer here. Good size to share and comes with plenty pieces of duck meat and a generous amount of wonton chips. Jordan was one of the bartenders working behind the bar during our visit and the poor girl had to deal with a rowdy DRUNK dude who didn’t want to leave after getting cut off. She handle the situation very well especially since we later discovered they don’t even have security to handle these types of customers. This restaurant is part of the bottleneck group. I highly recommend using their APP to earn point that unlock discounts on future dinner purchases.

    We went out to celebrate my brothers birthday and decided to give this place a try. The menu had the largest selection of drinks, I have seen before. We were greeted right away and seated quickly. The atmosphere was very positive and our server was patient with our "newbies" questions. Everyone loved their drinks, my dad couldn't stop raving about the pineapple lager. The presentation of my drink was fun and tasted delicious. My brother was thrilled about their fried pickles and our food arrived in a timely manner, especially with how busy they were. My burger was not made as I ordered, but the kitchen was quick to make a correct one and even though I had to take it home to eat, I didn't mind. The drink was so good and you could see that the staff was working as quickly as they can. My burger did taste good when I re-heated it at home. I told co-workers about their happy hour specials and I look forward to coming back and enjoying another night out. Well worth the parking lot struggle.

    Yes!!!! Not a big brunch guy but this place is great. I highly recommend getting the flight of Mimosas. They hit the spot! The breakfast was amazing. Everything on my plate has such a great flavor. The service was perfect specially with all restaurants being short staffed. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. It’s a must try in oak brook.

    Out of towner but I have been here twice (before and after the C word). Great selection of beers and good service at the bar. Happy hour until 6 pm. Music is 70’s to 90’ rock n roll. I had the chopped salad and it did. It look like much but was pretty good. Maybe a little heavy on dressing and light on bacon but not bad. If you are in the Oak Brook área it is worth a visit.

    This place has a very extensive beer selection and plenty of hard liquor and wine as well. The food is definitely not your typical bar food, it's more on par with a high end restaurant. The atmosphere here is cozy and very relaxed. The service is definitely top notch. The staff is very friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable with their menu options. The outside patio with the fireplaces is a nice touch. For appetizers we had the nacho and the buffalo shrimp, I can honestly say that all of us were very impressed with the preparation and food quality. I had the salmon with potatoes for dinner and it was delicious. If you're looking for a great place to hang out with colleagues, or friends, this is it. I also recommend it for any special occasion.

    Stopped for lunch with my boyfriend and 8 month old at the time since it is near Elmhurst Hospital and we're visiting family. Since it is located at OB Mall the parking can be difficult, but that's normal for this location in general. They have parking in front, if you can find a spot or park by Neiman Marcus and take the stairs down. This place is great for lunch, dinner, casual night with friends or date night. We felt comfortable as a family to have the baby during lunch too. It is a fun, relaxed atmosphere, yet upscale. The staff is wonderful, very friendly and attentive! We were greeted right away and seated quickly. We were offered indoor or outdoor on their patio. During the nice weather, they do open the large window/door that separates the patio from inside. They have a large selection of drinks and good selection for food. Flight options as well! We enjoyed our drinks and their appetizers and our meal very much. For appetizers we tried their Buffalo shrimp and cheese curds. The cheese curds were good, fried to perfection, but the Buffalo shrimp was definitely our favorite. It is crispy jumbo shrimp, with fresh bleu cheese crumbles, and bleu cheese dressing with buffalo sauce. If you like blue cheese I HIGHLY recommend this appetizer. For entrees, I ordered the chopped salad. I know super basic, but it was so delicious i even ordered one to go! Again, I am blue cheese lover and I tasted it in every bite. Even the portion of avocado was great! My boyfriend tried the Pour House Burger. It was a good dish to have for lunch and the giant dill pickle was our fav.

    The Old Town Pour House in Oakbrook was an excellent dinner dining experience. We sat outside. They have an external fireplace which we were seated near. The restaurant is located in the mall area but their outside dining patio is sheltered and expertly separated from the hustle and bustle of the mall. We ordered a couple of appetizers; the fried pickles and cheese curds. Both of these were excellent. The cheese curds came with a smoked tomato sauce to dip and it was fantastic. I had the Smoke House burger and my friend had the Scorpion Burger. We both thought they were well prepared and very tasty. The Scorpion Burger apparently has quite a kick to it. We had a couple of beverages as well. They have Dragon's Milk on tap! Check it out if you've never had it you won't be disappointed. They also have a decent selection of local beers. Check out their listing on the Untappd website for full list of what they have available.

    Friendly staff. There was a communication error with the chief getting our order so we were sitting long enough to notice. Waitress was very busy that I had to wait to see her and get a water refill. After we spoke with staff service got better. I would give them a try again.

    Chose this place out of the massive lists of options at the Oakbrook Center. We were easy to get a table on a Saturday night with just a 20 minute wait for 4. I had a hard time deciding what salad to go with, but went with the steak and was pleasantly surprised. My son loved his sirloin entrée. the fish and chips honestly had a great flavor and would recommend. Bacon cheeseburger was a favorite of the tables when my daughter couldn’t finish. Next time I will try the Ahi tuna tacos. Great beer selection as well of course!

    Very nice restaurant and very classy. Came here on a Sunday night and even though they were pretty busy they still had tables available for walk-in and guests that haven't made reservations. Service was great, friendly, kind.. food was amazing and delicious. We did have salads but those salads had a lot of flavor and were very tasty. Music was great and not too loud. Lighting was dim and created a perfect atmosphere. Just an amazing place!

    Stopped here to try out the Tuesday music bingo night, was fun. They only had two vegan options, impossible or salad. The Burger was just okay. It's very loud in there, like your typical sports bar. Food was fast, the service was good. I probably would not go again since the food wasn't great especially for the price.

    Went there Sunday morning around 11am for brunch. We got a table right away and my fiancé and I each ordered a flight of mimosas. They were delicious! I got a breakfast BLT and it was so much food! But also tasted great. The service was friendly and quick. We do not live very close to Oakbrook but will visit again next time we are in the area.

    Excellent environment for a chill bar vibe. Liz picked an excellent beer called Beach Blonde which was exactly what I was looking for. A great experience overall.

  • 3/5 Theisha F. 8 months ago on Google
    My family and I came here on a Sunday at about 11:30am. We opted out of the brunch menu and went with their regular menu. Our waitress, Jessica, was nice. Almost everyone at the table ordered burgers as their main course. We ordered queso & chips, and fried pickles for starters. Both were delicious! I ordered the Smokehouse Burger. The burger lacked seasoning. It was juicy and cooked just right, but there was no seasoning at all. The crispy onion rings on the burger were a nice touch. The pulled pork on the burger was just ok. 2 others ordered the bacon cheeseburger. They said it was good. My uncle said his pulled pork sandwich was delish. Desert was the star of the show. We ordered the donuts and baked cookie dough. The donuts were 🔥 🔥! Very fresh and fluffy and flaky. The cookie was just right. I'd go back to try other items on the menu.

    We went there for a Sunday afternoon brunch with friends. It's a lovely place to dine anytime. Great atmosphere, and the staff are very helpful and tend to your needs quickly. Also, you are greeted with a bright face, which has a welcoming smile 😊.

    Diner guy here, went here for my wife's friend's birthday brunch. Family friendly and the service was very good. We had a couple of Rugrats running around and the staff were extremely patient. The food was good, the bloody mary was top tier and I like my bloody marys!

  • 5/5 Andre G. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing food, it’s very tasty and filling. One thing I will say that made me love this place was being served by Nicholas Perez. He is down to earth, friendly, gave me great food and drink recommendation and just provided an amazing dining service and experience. Thanks so much Nick!

  • 5/5 Ray B. 5 months ago on Google
    Great service by our waiter, Zak. We were there at 2:00 and they have a lunch menu that runs til 3:00. Zak asked and we were able to order off the dinner menu. Drinks were great and with 55 beers on tap you can be assured you'll find a beer you like. Everyone enjoyed their food with the French toast (pictured) being a big hit as was the cheese curds which were soooooo light and fluffy.

  • 5/5 Edye G. 1 year ago on Google
    Set at the bar and got really good service. The garden salad (I got ranch instead of the vinaigrette) was amazing. ‘Twas one of the best salads I’d had in a long time. Beer variety was exceptional. Cannot wait to go back! All items priced well and the inside of the restaurant is lovely!!

  • 5/5 Nicole T. 10 months ago on Google
    The service and food was amazing. Luka is so sweet. He sang me happy birthday which was so unexpected! I would definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Jeremy M. 11 months ago on Google
    First time here and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is pretty cool and laid back. The menu looked absolutely amazing and the prices were pretty reasonable too. The service was great as well. We had the brisket grilled cheese and the cheese burger with candy bacon. One of the best burgers around. Simple and delicious. We got the peanut butter pie to go. Cannot wait to come back.

  • 5/5 Christina K. 1 year ago on Google
    Geno was our waiter and was absolutely fabulous. Friendly, split our lunch between plates for us without us having to ask, and even helped obtaining a drink recipe from the bartender. Excellent birthday lunch in between shopping!

  • 5/5 Caitlyn L. 1 year ago on Google
    They have good happy hour specials. The shareables with little "h"s in the front are included in the happy hour. We enjoyed the beers and the food (queso dip, buffalo chicken dip, kung pai cauliflower with shrimp, potato flatbread, and the rigatoni. Its a good place for a casual dinner night.

  • 5/5 Dee D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was awesome, we ordered the duck nachos as an appetizer and I had the bacon cheeseburger as my entree. The environment was a whole vibe and our waiter was great!

  • 5/5 Ady B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for the first time and will definitely be coming back. Server was nice, food and drinks delicious and seating outside in the beautiful summer night was even better. Fun, relaxed atmosphere. Definitely recommend for date night or a casual night with friends.
