“What a pleasant change from all the chain restaurants. The owner is someone who loves what he does, takes time to visit your table, and serves recipes handed down from his grandmother and mother. The food is prepared using the freshest of ingredients. The noise level enabled us to easily carry on a conversation. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.“

The waitress was great. She took care of us and the other guests were very friendly, even sharing their Trader Joe’s popcorn, and even bought us shots.
If you are in the area this bar is a must visit for a good hometown feel even when you are across the country!“

“Old school, shot and a beer, long time mainstay Bensenville tavern.“

“The food is fire with an extensive eastern euro & Asian fusion menu. Def need to come back to try more of the items. But the Balkan salad, Phili roll and lamb chop mangal was delish. Loved the eye for interior detail. I think they throw parties here and def need to check that out next time“

“Cheers. This is a quintessential dive bar where everybody eventually knows your name. A good place to be alone or regale with friends.

“The Cheeseburger on a Pretzel bun was very good and I would recommend it. I like their selection of German & Craft beers. I will be back at the Old Munich Tavern next Friday.“

“Had an Italian beef sandwich here today and it was very good. Not as good as Johnnie's or Al's, but still very good considering that you're at the airport. Plenty of peppers and giardiniera if you ask for it spicy. Service was very quick and friendly as well. Not a big ship, just a little bar that serves Chicago dogs and Italian beef and for for good prices. A great find!!“

“Fun place to be very friendly and good music.“

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!“

“An impromptu decision to stop by the Privilege bar this evening after a long work day turned out to be the best decision for a relaxing evening. The bar located at the rooftop of the Mondrian Itaewon in Seoul only opens from 6pm and we arrived half an hour earlier but the staff on duty was accommodating to allow us to take a seat and have a look around. Great panoramic view and we arrived just in time to catch the sunset. Love the vibe and music choice. Met with Tobbig Shin, F&B Assistant / Bar Manager who arrived from Singapore after a short stint doing a pop up in Mondrian Singapore. Highly recommend to try their signature cocktail “The P.T (Privilege Gin & Tonic)”, 5 stars for creativity and distinct taste, the pairing of Sonbi Gin and tonic. Jay, the Bartender served us and he graciously included a very detailed introduction - Sonbi Gin is distilled from 100% corn. Made with 10 botanicals including juniper, Schisandra berries, Chinese licorice, grains of paradise, cassia, green cardamom, coriander, lemon peel, orris root, and Angelica root. We had a second cocktail at their recommendation, Sun & Moon, made with Tokki Soju Black Label, Roasted Barley, Lemon, Pineapple and Crafted Moon Candy. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in Seoul!“

“Always had a great experience there. Will, the bartender, is great!!!“

“I visited this bar today and let me tell you, the bartender “Mya” is got to be the best server there. She was nice, attentive(even she was occupied with other customers) and she was an overall great bartender. Will come again when traveling to O-hare.“

“We rented the sun room for a team party. It was a great space, nicely decorated, good food, helpful service - already talking about coming back for our next team meal!“

“Came here for the first time recently. Don't know why it took so long! We live close by. Great onion rings and pizza, good fast service, enjoyed the free popcorn too! Very nice, clean atmosphere. Will definitely come again!“

“If you’re looking for the perfect blend of great drinks, welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service, Miner Tavern in Des Plaines is the place to be. The bartenders are friendly and know their craft, the cocktails are expertly made, and the beer selection has something for everyone. The vibe strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lively—whether you’re stopping by for a casual drink or a night out with friends. The attention to detail in the decor gives it a unique character, and the food? Way better than your average bar fare! If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. This place is pure gold!“

“This place is nice for a quiet date night. We were here for a magic-comedy show and if it wasn't so far from my house I would totally make this a more regular thing in my life. The food for this event is not much to choose from but what's offered is good. Look at the website they have lots to offer so your more than bound to find something you'll like.“

“Absolutely love this bar!! All the bartenders are total sweet hearts, the DJ even remembers your FAV go to karaoke songs, and we have more fun than ever when we randomly hit our "hometown townie bar" :). Thanks for always being so gracious to us!“

“Great & delicious food nice staff will come back again“

“Got my traditional pre-flight drink here on Monday. It was ~$14. There's limited seating at the bar itself. Not sure if you can take the drinks to the surrounding tables, though I assume you can. The bartender allowed me to bring food from the bakery and eat it at the bar. While I was gone he put a napkin over my drink. I love that! It's a little reminder to others that I'll be back and not to mess with my drink! Great place run by great people!“
