The Gambler

UM best dive bar in McHenry?!  I think so!  
Oh Gambler, I'm sorry that when I lived in the hood, I didn't visit you more often.  Oh wait, I did and walked out.  
However, my return to the Gambler experience was pretty damn impressive, I just may keep coming back.  
Good cheap bar food and  $2 domestic bottles on Sundays.  I'm game.  
Keep in mind.  I've never experienced "nite life" here only "day life" and judging by some of the conversations I heard when I was there on a Sunday....really that was enough for me and now know why there weren't a lot of us gals as their arm candy.  

If you want a cheap decent bar burger with very cold beer.  Hit the Gambler, drink and observe, you won't be disappointed.

Oh the Gambler... how I despise you.

This is a dive bar that is not good, food is decent, but I can get a burger anywhere else.  Drinks are always watered down.  Mostly a high-school reunion or townies that I don't feel like seeing.

It is also not a clean place and it isn't nice inside.  There are much better bars in McHenry County.

I really hated this hole-in-the wall for a while and would refuse to go with my friends for the longest time.  The scene improved somewhat, getting a little younger, but still a dive.
