  • 4/5 Brian Y. 10 months ago on Google
    It's a local bar. The noon bartender/cook is awesome. Good bar food and service might be a little slow if it gets crowded, but generally, it's quick.

    Food was good, I had a really fresh burger 🍔 The young lady behind the bar was very friendly and quick with service. My friend and I really enjoyed our time there and will definitely stop back in when we are back in the area!!

  • 5/5 Tanisha S. 10 months ago on Google
    I love this spot. It's so cozy. It's like a cozy night in. Great service, gaming, and laid back environment. Great bang for your buck... this is a new favorite for me. Especially at night. The vibe is different. You've got a cozy little seating area outside to people watch, and catch a breeze.

  • 5/5 Lawrence J. 1 year ago on Google
    Depending upon who's bartending the burgers are great.

  • 1/5 Daniel J. 1 year ago on Google
    When your bartender needs to Google how to make a drink and the tap beer is warm. You know you need to cash out and go.

  • 5/5 Mike L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to go, have a few drinks and food. Friendly bartenders and patrons. Nice and clean environment and the food is great. I will continue to go back and make this my #1 spot to go and chill back out.

  • 1/5 Rayne W. 1 year ago on Google
    Bartender didn't know how to make anything and was rude. No desire to ever go back

  • 1/5 Alexandra C. 2 years ago on Google
    Website lists them open. Google lists them open. The phones ring and ring. Guess what - they're not open. Sunday at 3pm. Sign on the door? Of course not. Drove here with the intention of eating before the show at the theater. Won't be trying to go here again. We'll eat before coming to Waukegan from now on.
