Outstanding draft craft beer selection and extensive bottle list. You WILL find a new favorite here. Excellent menu too.

I like ti during the day for the food.It is excellent for bar food.They do have a wide range of selections when it comes to alcohol .We really enjoyed it during the day

SS Christopher

One of the few places in the suburbs I will make a drive out for just for lunch or dinner . Bison burger is expensive , but worth it.

Fallon Campbell

Beer , drinks, bands, size and lots of standing room. I think everyone pretty much covered it but this place is always great.

Meghan O'Malley

The food is great! Music is great! The short hostess is the best, very nice.

Lia Evangelia Halaris

Fridays & Saturdays always have good entertainers, both bands and djs . Also have, great food and beer selection/specials! Check out DJ Fiction!

Nils Hellström

I would recommend checking beforehand whether or not a concert is all ages. Recently attended one, and it was like being a senior citizen in a room with loud , anxious, parentally supervised teens.

Ted Dziedzic

Be sure to talk to Colleen when she is working the bar . Very knowledgeable on beer , wine & the finer things in life!

Erik Rowley

Usually pretty chill when I've been here but I've heard concert nights are a blast!

Liz Homsy

A fun place with a solid beer list ...just make sure you pick a couple when you order...their taps are frequently out.

darick

Rockin bar with a positive vibe. Highly recommend coming to see the live bands - especially the LOOP sponsored Monsters of Mock every month !

Michelle Miller

This place has the vibe, the beer , and the food. Trivia nights on Wednesday 's are a blast too!

Victoria Duda

Very different from old Nellie's but awesome intimate-sized concert areas! Nice outdoor rooftop patio too!

Melly C.

Beer what more can you want? Conveniently located near Palatine station!

Erik Rowley

4 am bar on the weekends and can get pretty crazy!

Digital Tour Bus

If you have a headache or are in need of earplugs during the show, just head over to the bathroom because they have machines that sell them! Isn't that cool? We think it is... :)

C Marie

Go to the Mezz ask for Sarah she is the best bartender in the bar / world!!! :)

Rick E Fox

It's got what you need. Irish breakfast !

Awesome selection of beer ! Located right off the Metra UP-NW line (Palatine stop).

Pete Vukadinovic

beef pot pie is amazing. It's a beef stew covered with a sweet puff pastry . so good.

Hiedi E

Decent concert venue even if it's a bit small. Bar serves only pizza for food after 10pm.

Ashley Hanson

the Durty mac-n-cheese is a must!

Danielle Nutnim

Rod tuffcurls and the bench press is the best band ever they are the reason we go

The "Danger Tots " are awesome!

I never would've thought there would be so many tables of people being lame during a Talking Heads band on New Years Eve.

Kelly Sviatko

Go there and enjoy a Stone brew on tap . You won't be disappointed.

They don't let you smoke electronic cigarettes in here. Very unsatisfied

Brian Whitaker

Need to tell the bus boy not to circle the table while you eat like a shark.

Jason Schwab

Spinach and artichoke dip is bomb!

ash. anz.

they never got rid of pokie sticks! I asked about them a few times & the employees didn't know what I was talking about, but they're late night menu only

Jake Thomas

This place is like a garbage dump . So many places that have better service, more room, and just a general over all better environment

Nina Kulinczenko

Check out what band is in town !

Larry Rowan
