I used to like this place when I worked in Countryside a few years ago.
Recently, I was in the area and stopped in for dinner and they carded my daughter- when she ordered a Coke. They said no one under 21 allowed. We were at a table, nowhere near the bar.
So we went down the street to Applebee's and sat at the bar without any problem. So, just an FYI- it's just a BAR, not a "bar and grill"
I couldn't rate anything except the attitude and lack of explanation I got from the waitress- so there's your one star.
I swear I did a review on this place already, but can't find it on Yelp. We went a few months ago for my grown nephews birthday. Very crowded but everyone visiting the bar was pleasant. Â The bartenter was great, I told her I need a weird or strange shot for my nephew, she made it and it was awesome looking. I won't say the name on here and I had never heard of it before. When we first got there we went to the back because there was no tables available at the time and we were standing which was okay except for this one waitress was really rude and kept being rude all night to us. She kept saying not to stand where we were, not telling us if we were in the way or if it was a hazard area or something similar to that. The only problem I saw was she was eating pizza near where we were standing and "maybe" she thought we were going to try to eat it. We ended up with this great waitress and if I remember right her name was Paige. She got us our drinks right away when we needed more, she was friendly and had good personality. We played pool and had some wings to eat. Great place to have a drink!!
Review Source:Worst service I've had in a long time!! A couple friends and I sat at the bar, meeting after work to have a couple drinks, have dinner, and chat. When we first arrived, the bartender was nice. She gave us menus, got us the drinks we ordered, and came back fairly quickly to take our order. Everything was fine at first. But as time went on, that wasn't the case. We ordered our pizza, which came quickly as well, but as we sat there talking to each other, napkins on our plates to indicate we were finished, it sat, and sat, and sat - for about 45 minutes!! During this time, my friend placed her empty beer bottle on the bar to indicate she wanted another, and it took about 15 minutes before the bartender even ventured to our end of the bar to retrieve that. When she finally came over, my other friend asked for her check and the bartender got it for her. You might think she'd have acknowledged all of us since we were in a group together, but she didn't ask us if things were okay, if we needed our check as well, nothing. So when we indicated that we would like ours as well, she went and got it and still didn't ask us if we needed a box for the more than half the pizza sitting there. Very strange. But it gets more strange... We asked a waitress walking by for a box, since the bartender disappeared again, and she was polite and said she'd get one. But as minutes went by, she never came back! We saw her talking to another bartender in the corner of the bar. Then, very oddly, a woman came over (maybe a manager) and asked us if everything was okay. I told her no and why. She did nothing to make us feel better about anything that went on. She made an excuse for the waitress who said she would bring us a box, saying she was "new." Really? So new that you can't grab a to-go box? Overall, the service was more than awful. Even the manager wasn't really apologetic. We won't be eating/drinking there ever again. Apparently if you're a female you can't get decent service at this place.
Review Source:For as many times as I've been here, I've only ever had two bad experiences, and they weren't due to the service, food or drinks but random clinetelle that thought they were hard. Well, that's something you could get anywhere, so you can't dock them for that! Â They have good specials, the servers are almost always nice, fast and good, and it's usually just the right amount of people in there. It's not crowded, but it's not dead.
Review Source:With the abundance of nearby chain restaurants; here is a gem of a sports bar. The ambient smell of Clorox and gym socks is what fills the lungs as you take in the atmosphere. Local folk line the bar and share smiles as they cheer towards a Cubbie win. The vibe is mostly older white males with a few ladies and kids thrown into the afternoon mix. Â Per another reviewers comments if you're a newbie like I was, you might get some stares or glances. Â
Entertainment is provided via a few decent pool tables, a plethora of small & wide screen TVs playing everything from sports to Ugly Betty reruns. A few dart boards, an Internet jukebox and arcade bags machine. The makings to a good time at the sports bar.
Lots to see, at least from my pub stool perch. Typical suburban dive, in that you've got a decent enough bar with pretty good food and cute bar staff (I bet would not be caught in here if it wasn't for a job). I would guess it's the bar staff that is what brings in the early afternoon crowd. My bubbly waitress tells me it's the happening spot in the area once it becomes night. An older gentleman arises from his stool and mentions to the bartender that he'd see her soon.
"Off day?"
"Yep"
"I'll be here, working that day"
"Great, you're the sexiest lady I know, I'll be here for sure"
(Shudder) Was that a flirt, I wondered.
A few details to why it's good. So many offerings for entertainment for you and your group. Management is often making rounds, however he never once approached or greeted me. I think he saves that for repeat customers. Many servers and runners. Attentive waitstaff. Decently priced food menu and lunch specials for $3.99, that beats out any lunch combo you could possibly find in the area. In the bar there was a mention to text a number to receive daily specials and special alerts of other bonuses. They don't have to do that, but they are and that's whats cool.
I'm not quite sure how this bar got the $$$$ expense rating, its basically a road side bar with road side bar pricing. Â I'm giving it a $$ expense rating for an appetizer or entree and two drinks.
My husband and I were doing our version of a pub crawl last Thursday night and since I now have the YELP app for my Palm Pre, I was in "high-gear-review-mode". Â This spot was the last stop on our five bar run.
The decor consists of standard beer brand plaques, beer promo signs and upcoming dart tournaments. Â No frills here, its probably been quite awhile since anything was updated. Â But we stopped in because, well, I'm a Yelper and that's what Yelpers do...we survey our surroundings for hidden gems.
This isn't one of those gems----BUT because people seemed to like the food here my husband ordered some boneless chicken wings with what was supposed to be a honey pineapple sauce. Â Well, you can't really mess up deep-fried, processed chicken meat, but the sauce turned out to be kinda 'plum-like', dark and molasses tasting---no pineapple honey here. Â We were expecting maybe something golden, light and pineapple tasting---that wasn't the case.
The Lakers were winning the championship, so we watched Kobe and the gang sinking the history-making points. Â But that didn't distract me from noticing out of the corner of my eye that some chick was in the bar with her kid at 11:30pm. Â It wasn't like they were dining, the poor little kid was about 7 or so, sitting there looking lost while his mother(?) was on the phone and/or texting someone.
I was surprised that the owner sitting behind us didn't seem the least concerned. Â I felt badly for the kid.
This place might be OK for a late, LATE night snack. Â And even though there's a sign posted that there's a DJ on Saturday nights, there's no dance floor or dancing to speak of. Â (I asked the owner's son for confirmation) With nothing to keep us, we finished our cluck and chips and our reasonably priced drinks and high tailed it home.
I was generous with my two stars because if drinking is your objective you'll find low priced drinks and a 'drinking atmosphere'. Â But sadly not much else.
I gotta hand it to these guys, maybe they read my yelp review but last time i went food was A-OK! From a big and crunchy wedge salad with fresh-off-the-vine tomates to the actually pretty damn tasty reuben I feel bad I knocked these guys down before.
Its still a bar, for a Friday lunch (with frosty pitchers, natch) I won't hesitate next time to go back!
It's really just another run-of-the-mill sports bar, but the one special I remember was getting a decent-sized pizza - like 14" or 16" - plus a pitcher of lite for about $11. When you consider that buckets are usually $11, it's a steal. Plus the 'za was actually pretty good... me and one other friend finished it off. Drink prices are about average, certainly not deserving of a $$$$ rating. I got a martini for about $4. And they also have some billiards in the back as well as the perennial favorite, Golden Tee. On an average night out, I would say expect between $11-30 per person, not including food, if you plan on getting more than 3 mixed drinks or some pitchers/buckets, which is just about what you'd pay at some places in Forest Park.
