    It had been at least 10 years since I had visited the Island Tap.

    Since my previous visit it has been transformed from a hole in the wall maximum dive bar into a very passable imitation of an Irish pub (or what Chicagoans think an Irish pub is like). I wondered aloud why they kept the name "Island Tap" and was reminded by a patron that Ireland is an "Island" (albeit a large one).

    Lots of great beer choices, sports on TV, a classic oak bar and bar back, and a board for "Sharps" are big plus factors.

    No trouble with service even on a very busy night. That having been said- it does pay to not be shy.

    OK Being here on St. Patrick's day might have tipped the fun factor a BIT toward the positive? Slainte!

    I came here a few weeks ago with some girls for a bachelorette party bar crawl. We were all dressed up in black dresses, and this was the first place the bride-to-be wanted to go.

    We arrived at about 10:30pm and found the place about 2/3 full. We put some money into the jukebox (per the bride's request), and instantly the bartenders seemed to hate us. Why have a jukebox if you hate music and we aren't allowed to use it? We then waited at the bar to order our first drinks of the night. Some of us managed to find seats at the bar and still we waited. It was becoming obvious that the bartenders dis not want to serve us. Finally, the brides mom was able to secure a bartenders attention and we ordered drinks. I feel they were small and overpriced. We had a bad time overall due to the general unwelcomenes from the staff. I understand that we are not "regulars", but I expected at least a warm hello or a congratulations to the bride. We left with a bad taste in our mouths, but had fun at other local bars.

    On the plus side, they had a good beer selection. But most bars would around here.

    Great little dive bar, tucked away in a parking lot behind the main street in downtown Libertyville. Apparently it's the oldest bar in the area. Great place to watch a game, and if you're a Yankees fan, you'll enjoy being able to watch the game with sound.

    There is no food served, but the bartender (who is often the owner) will pass out take out menus and you're welcomed to order a pizza or whatever right to the bar. That alone makes this a gem!

    Lastly, there's a guitar hanging on the wall and if you play, ask for it and play the bar a couple tunes. I played a few songs and had a few rounds bought for me by customers in the place. We had a great time!
