“This place is truly a gem in the south suburbs! If you're not local it's worth the drive. Really a fun place to enjoy delicious food, great drinks, and excellent music! The owners and staff are friendly, welcoming, and attentive. If the eclectic decor could speak, I'm sure it'd have some epic stories to tell! If you're looking to have a good time in a cool spot, this place will check all the boxes!“
“I absolutely love the self-serve/pay by volume system here. I had never been anywhere like this, and it is so much fun to be able to try as many different beers as you like. Plus, the food is great and everyone is very welcoming. Can't wait to come back!“

“Ordered a small thin crust from uber eats juss being lazy & not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Pizza sauce is very tasty, wish I had ordered it on the side for dipping my pizza in. Just the right amount of crisp in the crust and it was cooked Just how I like it. I will definitely order from here again. The only thing I didn't like was that my pizza wasn't sealed in any type of way to prevent it from being tampered with while it was being delivered. Maybe perhaps some stickers to prevent the box from being open, or put the pizza in a paper bag then staple it up at the end. Otherwise very good pizza.“
“If you love a local dive bar, where the people know you, the owner's awesome, & the drinks are stiff. Look no further! always inviting & drinks are good and inexpressive. The bartenders are attentive. The owner is hands on & personable. If your in Posen, stop by this little piece of “
“We went here on a Friday evening. Fairly full, but had a few open tables. We had several plates since this was our first time here. The service was great. Our server brought the food out in stages, so we didn't have it all at once, which was smart. We started with the chicken flautas (4 per order). Not overpoweringly spicy, mild, very good. Next, we had the Classic Fries. The garlic/parmesan drizzle made a nice compliment to the fries and the tomatillo salsa was a surprising compliment as well. Next plate was the shrimp tacos. I am NOT a fan of any fishy taco, but these were the best I've ever had. I would probably order them again they were so good. We ended with the King Crab Dip, which is served hot and takes about 30 minutes to prepare. Again, very good. Drinks: I started with an Old Fashioned, which was good; however, it was in a glass full of ice cubes. Many times they are served with one big cube, but generally not a glass full of ice. I can't recall the other drinks we had, but they were all very good. It is a very nice, small place inside. Well decorated. Since we were there on a Friday, it was a bit noisy. Music a bit loud. Ignore the baseball cap dress code thing; not enforced (not me!). Nice to ask, but it's Indiana. People aren't walking in here in suits and sport coats. Definitely would like to come back during the week. Great little place.“
“Super cute spot on Main Street in Crete. Came for a birthday gathering and loved it. The space is cool. I really enjoyed the fun unique decor pieces. Definitely take a look around and take in all the cool features. Amazing pizza at the place above. And obviously fantastic beer.“
“Really a hidden gem. Everything is excellent. Limited hours and limited days open are really the only downside here. I'd recommend making a reservation in advance, but they are very accommodating if they have room. Good value for the service and quality, but not "cheap". Had the surf and turf this time, and the lobster was great. Something on the menu for everyone.“
“Pablo's Cafe is a true gem, Dolton should be proud of. The Establishment is Clean, Safe and has a Cool Atmosphere. The staff is friendly, helpful, honest and respectful to the customers. Thank y'all from South Jersey!Viva Pablo'“
“First time there, a couple days ago. This place is great,good vibes, super friendly people best place I've been to in a long time. The bartender the drinks, are awesome and music is great. Can't wait to go back.my new favorite place when I'm in “
“They have been redeemed! I went back and did the tour. Trevor was very hospitable. The place has a rich in history. We tried rum, whiskey, bourbon and Pecan whiskey. The food was delicious, I had the bbq bourbon burger. He even comped us a very delicious bundt cake dessert! I described it as, "a mouth-gasm."“
“Such a laid back place, that’s full of fun!I can not decide what’s better, the Beef sandwich or the meatballs! I wish I took a picture before I started to demolished the meal, but I couldn’t stop eating after the first bite! THANK YOU LISA! You are AMAZING!“
“We love Brewhouse and visit at least a couple times per month. They rotate their drink menu, there are always good local options (e.g., IPAs, Stouts, Lagers, Sours, Ciders), and they have a nice outdoor seating area that can be used during the warmer months. The bartenders are nice and playful and their food menu includes some clearly identified vegan options. They also have a couple of old arcade games you can play for free and have a bingo night, which is fun.“
“Doc's is the kind of place where you've got people from out of town in, and they want BBQ. And you want a huge variety of tap craft beers . Or you want to go there just for the beer. Surprisingly, they also have a huge whiskey selection as well. Oh, the BBQ, very good. Pig wings are flash fried smoked wings. They are fantastic. Everything else is wonderful, brisket, pulled pork and the sides. All at a reasonable price. Service.... Staff is very knowledgeable, especially the bartender who knows a thing or two about the liquor he serves. Great place ??“
“Fantastic local upscale bar that is classy and cozy. Bartenders are knowledgeable on different spirits and owner Jerry is always making sure all experiences are great ones. Love the summertime parking lot parties or just a quiet evening enjoying a crafted cocktail with husband or friends.“
“Our server this evening was absolutely wonderful! She was the only bartender and waitresses. She was a Rockstar! Not only did she provide great service to us. She was amazing with all the other guests. She had a full bar and about 8 tables. We had a wonderful evening!“
“We eat here weekly. The pizza is the best in the Southland. The bar has a "Cheers" vibe where all are welcome. Pizza is half off on Tuesday and every one in town knows that's the best dinner option! Don't take my word for it, you really must try it out!“
“It's a small place with lots of big personalities. Dream is a great bar star and pours a mean drink. Prices are economical and you feel safe there. They scan everyone's ID which I think is a Posen requirement but I like it so if anything occurs, you know who was there. They have karaoke on Tuesdays and the owner has complimentary smoked wings and salad for patrons.“
“Great local bar. Good food and decent specials during the week. Be prepared this bar is not fancy by any means. If you're looking for a shot and a beer joint this is it. Let me not forget to mention the pool tables. Looking for a game? Rack 'em up!“
“The Standard Taproom is an absolute NECESSITY for craft beer lovers! The large rotating craft beer selection means there is something for everyone. The bartenders are all extremely knowledgeable and (in my experience) will make it a personal quest to find something even my Grandpa likes. Every experience I have had at the Standard Taproom has been stellar.They don't have a kitchen but will gladly give you an excellent recommendation for a local spot that will deliver straight to your seat.The décor makes you feel at home, and they have several board games. It's a great place to bring a first date or a group of old friends! And the bathrooms are honestly one of the nicest public restrooms I have ever seen.Put The Standard Taproom on your list of places to go. You will NOT be disappointed!!“
“Great staff, great atmosphere. Always fun times to be had. Can't get better than the riverfront view off the docks. Even the people that come off their boats are here for a good time. Couple indoor games to play and all the tvs you want for your games, just ask for your channel!“
“Staff was more than helpful and friendly especially since I know I tend to ask questions others do not but I also always do things 100% if I'm doing it otherwise forced might be 20% that ends up like most ppls good enough >80% Prices for tables was surprisingly reasonable per hour since I was expecting it to have doubled since Y2K plus there's a bar attached for those that are not playing on full size tables and teaching 9 ball w 100% tournament rules to 1st timer, was surprised that they have a league but they use bar sized tables not sure if that's something new or two cater to the generation now vs the Minnesota Fats era playersHaving run/owned a large successful event promotion company w sold out shows at top Chicago venues and nightclubs dealing with atmosphere and alcohol along with that guy is a learned skill, though it is a free country, I'd rather not have had that guy who doesnt wanna go home, come bother us to play, esp mid game w $ per ball in play, then disappear >30 mins when he wanted to break (got a 9ball win in against his much more lvl headed younger associate after saying its gonna be a while I'm guessing you just wanna play 9 if ur buddy's a talker)?That if I owned it I'd have said something to him tgfo to his table or to myself on the side at least just to read if I might have problems w the guy later and make sure the broke regular isn't scaring new biz away, based on my dress and demener, plus I had called a cpl hrs earlier w lots of ?'s since last min idea to take coworker to get their mind off things n off the phone, but asked about buying a cue if they sold them, when I got there also fully knowing markup would be high but they didn't have ne premade ones so just grabbed a glove since don't have chalk/powderYou could bring food and hydration powder just not my own hand powder (A negitive cuz I have hyperhydrosis but only 1.8% of population has it mostly less severe, so I get it except if I'm going in a real tournament).That guy had the kid not decide he was gonna go back to his place w him alone and trust he'll get back home, when he has no license or way to Uber even, liked it also but dude was a nuisance, esp as he's trying to stream himself (InfoSec gtf outta my face w it or if it breaks don't get mad at me, IL is still 2 party consent) while trying to flow, if it even deserves that word, from 40yr guy mad after finally getting that I'm not 1/2 his age bro, rather older like when he 1st told me he's 2x, like ok u might be a creep then too if that's impt to say 1st, minus that then having to remind coworker/him to clean their stuff by doing it myself n telling they followed the heard but took 30mins n a cpl cues almost left but took balls back cleaned up already, like he's a grown kid/adult idc it's his decesion, even though 1/2 the reason to take him out was to keep him out of trouble n give run down on what many exp/seen w kids and custody esp being 1st time and naive to women n think she isn't out there or a risk when family is personal injury attorney n u got some dui crash on record still a cpl ppl fig'd a few guys w varied exp might help get it into his head, but yea w/e place was good, full size tables say 8/10 or as expected, atmosphere fine w 1 exception if you drink or break your sealMake sure they don't put you in the corner the furthest from the bar and restrooms if you plan to use the bar a bit or got runs?Pretty sure it goes un-noticed by most, but not great for business either since they were spending more time walking to the bar and bathroom then playing and could have spent more as I was gonna get a pizza vs the way overpriced vending machine junk also far enough I didn't go back to it.Unsure about their tournaments/league, but the guy I played 9 ball w/ waiting for the other 2 had said he goes on day off from open till 6 or so cuz its $10 till that time vs by the hr which is a great price to get ur game up n competition.“

“Last night we traveled from Dekalb to tour this distillery. I wish we would have allowed more time. The tour we excellent, rich in history. The cocktails, as well as the spirits they produce were top shelf. We will definitely be back to sample the food. The tour alone was worth the hour and a half drive.“
“Very cool environment, just went there before Christmas with work buddies. Tara was our bartender, she was a great time & took care of all our needs. Annie was another bartender there that was super social & absolutely awesome to talk to. I'd highly recommend this place for a great social experience & high energy good time!“
“Was doing a little bar hopping and found this hidden gem. They have pool, slots, darts and Touch Tunes for music which worked for us. Service was friendly and the prices were good too. Didn't serve any wine though so I had to swich up my drinks. All in all, a nice spot!“
“I'm a huge fan of the local go to bars that have great service along with great patrons and the Old Glory Tavern has both. Cool little corner bar that doesn't look like much from the outside but has everything on the inside! I'm from out of town and glad I stopped in, felt very welcomed. I'd give this place 10 stars ✨ if Google would allow it just for the Red Baron Pizzas served back on top of the original card board box! I LOVE IT!!“
“I love this place! I live 90 min away and come to Indiana for work sometimes. I never mind if I get to eat here. I finally got to take my husband. I was a little nervous bc he has high standards. He LOVED it. We devoured our calzones and he couldn't stop talking about it. The crust is just incredible. You just gotta try it! Fun atmosphere and friendly staff is an added bonus.“
“Omg!! First time going there, walked in, and everyone in the bar said hello. Very friendly bar and grill. Food off the chain. Excellent!! Fish was great, burger was great. Very clean place. Friendly service. Bartender was so nice. Can't wait to go back. Im getting the fried chicken!! Highly recommend this place!! If I could give 10 stars, I would!!“
“This place is tops!!! Absolutely great food in a hole in the wall bar. It has a "bar" vibe, but don't let that dissuade you. We will even bring our kids here during the day. My favorite item is the flame burger, made as a chicken sandwich (you can substitute chicken for burger), with fries and ranch. Would often come here for date nights and would also get carry out anytime I was in the area. It's just delicious food. They will also do some seasonal cocktails, which are fun to try, and always have good prices.“
“Nice little neighborhood bar. I came here for my brother's birthday party. The bartenders were very attentive and got my drinks. Not a lot of seating options just at the bar and some seats throughout the place. Nice place to come and socialize with friends have a few drinks.“
“Exactly what I was looking for in a bar. The bartender Nicki was a multitasking machine and had an awesome attitude. Food was perfect bar food with an assortment of sauces that will keep me coming back. Free coney buffet during halftime of the bears game too! Oh and the sausage man showed up and I left with $20 worth of cheeses so all around great experience. I'll be back.“
“Great Bar, great owners and great bartenders!! As for James Suefert’s review, I have been in the bar three times you were, and let me explain, the first time you fell asleep at the bar, the second time you tried to walk away with the Family Fued workers phone and the third time you propositioned one of the bartenders in the worst way. I can understand if you feel your service was below service, it’s you!!!!“
“It's a small town bar with what I believe are regulars. It hasn't been updated....well, maybe once a long time ago. It seems everybody knows each other, but some younger people are coming in to eat too. Their food is good, but the cheeseburgers are to die for!“
“The first thing you notice when you enter is the décor. It has tools, mechanical and engine parts decorated throughout the place. The bar is long with plenty of seating and yes it's loaded with tools on the seats and even embedded in the actual bar. In the afternoon the place is packed with regulars and it is real clicky. If you're not with the in crowd, wait a few visits and you will eventually be accepted amongst the rest of the tools. The south end of the bar is called skid row and the north end is considered contractors row. I'm convinced that if you take a picture in there on any weekday and come back a month later it would look identical. The warm weekends attract a lot of bikers and it's a frequent stop for bike runs and bar crawls. The bartenders are worth the visit. Jo who works in the afternoon on Sat. is the moneymaker for the bar, she's supermodel hot and a pro at her craft. You can find T (who is also hot), working weekday afternoons running her lip like a truck driver while pretending to manage the place. A few other hotties are scattered throughout different night shifts and the owner even pops in from time to time to show the bartenders how easy it is to be super nice to people, but they never listen. Overall, this bar has a legendary cast of characters with funny nick names who have been regulars for a decade. I go to enjoy some of the funniest daytime drama to start off my Saturdays.“
“Just ate here not long ago and I LOVED the food! I had the chicken strips and seasoned curly fries. The decorations were nice too! It wasn't to bright and flash or too dark and boring, it was perfectly lit and had great tv channels and music! The staff was also VERY kind! Hope to eat here again some time.“
“We chose Theo’s to celebrate our Anniversary, and we were not disappointed. Our waiter was Arthur, and he was very knowledgeable about the menu, food preparation, and delightfully accommodating and personable. My medium rare filet mignon was cooked to perfection, and the baked potato, broccoli and carrots, and burgundy mushrooms were excellent accompaniments. My husband, who loves salmon but hesitates to order it out, was very happy with his choice of the Faroe Island salmon. After questioning Arthur about the method of preparation, my husband chose to have it grilled, which was a very good choice. You certainly won’t leave Theo’s hungry. We took a lot of food home. Overall, a positive two thumbs up experience!Parking: Theo’s has parking in the front, along the side, and it back of the restaurant. You’d have to call to find out if they have valet parking or available parking nearby.“
“One of my old haunts from the late '80s / 90s from the Cal City bar era there used to be one on every corner wally was introduced as the owner and did a fine job running the bar wish I didn't wait so long to stop back inParking: There's parking along the side of the building and then back of the lot very convenient“
“Charles is the BEST! We had dinner at the restaurant next to Kiki's, the restaurant's bathroom was out of use and Charles was a kind gentleman to let our friend use the restroom during dinner. We decided to stop at Kiki's after dinner for some drinks and to play the games. Myself and 2 friends ended up having a great night chatting away with Charles, listening to Motown, and playing the games. The place was extremely clean and very welcoming. We've already talked about having a girl's night there for drinks and gaming, we will definitely be back to visit Charles!“
“This is a small yet cozy bar. Mostly regulars and I'm pretty sure it's cash only. Decent music selection, no food, an interesting dresser in the womens bathroom, a pool table, a few gaming machines and some booths make up this bar.“
“This local watering hole has been operating here as long as I can remember. Here you can get your favorite mix drink with a beer chaser and a healthy side of conversation or counseling. You aren't subjected to a pompous mixologist, instead you get the friendly and personal attention of the barkeep. Even though the place has a crowd of locals, they are inviting and friendly to passersby.“
“The best pub in the south suburbs. You will always feel welcome, lots of fun and full of amazing workers. Eileen is so amazing will throw together a party so you don’t have to worry. Great entertainment and a fabulous beer garden. Super fun events hosted including Sunday fundays, derby day and lots of Irish culture. Stop in for a cold one you won’t be disappointed!!“
“It's good for what it is. It's a hole in the wall, community lounge. The atmosphere is welcoming, the drinks are strong, and there's never been any drama when I've been there. Mature crowd on Tuesdays for karaoke. And a younger crowd on Thursdays for How Music with $5 drinks. I've never attended on Thursdays but here that it be packed. Not to crowded on Tuesdays, comfortable. This the only picture I have that kind of show the place in the background.“
“Came into town for a wedding and ducked in here before checking into hotel. The bloody mary spot on. Service friendly and attentive. Establishment looked clean. We didn't eat, but people around us ordered everything looked delish. Would be happy to come back here the next time we're in town.“
“This nice cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Delicious food & drinks reasonable prices beautiful presentation full bar plenty of seats nice size dance floor. I would recommend to everyone I would be back very soon.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“I went during a weekday at a weird hour that wasn't too busy customer-wise and the bartender was very preoccupied with visitors, as I learned later they were almost all friends/coworkers; but even with those things in mind my bartender (I believe the board said Maria was the evening bartender) was extremely cognizant of my needs. Literally, the moment I pushed my drink forward indicating I had finished, she was on her way to me asking if I needed any help or would like anything else, but not in an annoying way, just helpfully so. Decent bathroom, but needs paper towels or a fixed air dry machine. Free pool. I heard they got a DJ sometimes. Speaking of which their owner was there and personally introduced himself to me and mentioned that tidbit ?. Gotta say that's a first at any bar that I myself was not a facilitator of myself. An owner introducing themselves, that is.“
“neighbor store, great service friendly employee clean and safe slots next.door nice atmosphere, great drinks mature crowd mostly neighborhood folks, really nice spot can bring food or have it delivered while having a drink or.playing.the slots.“
“A friend brought me here for the first time, specifically for the pot roast dishes. I had the Flatbread and it is delicious! It is a bar, and has limited space, but for 2 of us at lunchtime we had the whole back room that was quiet. Cici was super nice and attentive. We very much enjoyed our visit.“
