My husband and I come here for Wednesday night trivia every other week and we have always felt so incredibly welcome. The staff gets to know the regulars and last year, when we got pregnant, they were always kind enough to mix whatever mocktail I described as long as they had the ingredients. It even got to the point where servers knew my favorite drinks ahead of time. When we stopped going due to the birth of our son, they even asked our trivia team how I was doing and if baby was doing well.
We recently returned for the 1st time after our baby was born and called ahead to ask if we could bring the 10 week old to trivia. They let us know absolutely and that we could bring our stroller too. We were told that he had to out by 9pm which seemed super reasonable considering they are technically a bar.
While there, we never felt weird or out of place and when we had to change the baby, they told us to use the bathroom on the empty side for privacy as there were no changing stations. Not a worry there, I didn’t expect one but it was kind to suggest the more private location.
I am so pleased with how incredibly welcoming they are when we are there. Im so impressed by all the service and care they have shown.

Great looking bar with a friendly, funny bar tender. Unfortunately the lighting in the main room is horrible! 5 stars of you get some warmer wave length light bulbs in those big fixtures.

Constantly serves alcohol to 18 year old girls.
Guess they need business that badly that they have been made aware and continue to do so.
**You absolutely do and you’ve been called about it as well.
You serve underage people on the weekends constantly.

First time visiting, and will unfortunately be my last. The saving grace is the food. The food was legitimately delicious: recommend the loaded nachos, chicken fingers, steak sandwich and french fries because they were all amazing dishes that were cooked to perfection. However, most other aspects of the meal were subpar. They had a good beer selection, but the cocktails weren’t great. I ordered one and had to send it back after me and 6 of my friends tasted it and voted it to be undrinkable (it was the blue one). My friend got a margarita that tasted like the bottled mix from our aunt’s basement with half a shot of tequila added. Didn’t even salt the rim to balance out the sweet/sour flavor of the mix. The service was hit-or-miss. The server took everybody’s food order except for one person; he had to wait until she came back later to order his food. Then his food came out 15 minutes before anyone else’s food. Finally, the atmosphere was reminiscent of a local concert with a too-loud sound system, but a band wasn’t playing. It was just the music they were piping in. It was difficult to carry a conversation with the person sitting next to me. Strange experience overall, maybe it would be good for takeout.

Tonight, 11/14/2025, our first time here, we sat down at 5:30pm and for over 15 minutes no one came to our table. Another group came in around 5:40pm. When someone finally did come around she went immediately to the other group and we were not even acknowledged.
We left as there are too many other dining options in Tinley Park.

My friends and I have loved coming here for years, especially on Friday nights when they have pizza specials. Sadly, however, we won’t ever be returning. The last few times that we’ve visited, we’ve experienced truly horrendous service. On our last visit, we waited 2 hours without ever receiving our pizza. I understand that there’s a new kitchen staff but this is still totally inexcusable – it does not take two hours to make one pizza. Really saddened to see this because we used to love coming here.

Great little tavern with some good old-fashioned saloon history. Nice Back Patio , I dig this tavern. Cheers!

The Amount of People Packed in Here on a Friday Night is Disgusting…Cant Reach Counter to Pay My Bill. Clearly Overworking Your Bartenders. Do Better…

Came here with my fiancé, his cousin and his girlfriend on Saturday around 8:00 pm. We were charged a $5 “cover fee” which made no sense because there was no live music or any music playing at all. Reading the reviews i noticed that this is not the first time a person of color has felt uncomfortable here. I want to point out that this bar is primarily white and we were the only Hispanics in there. As soon as we walked in, we felt the stares and no one welcomed us in, the bartenders avoided us and we were sitting at our table for 30 minutes before we walked out. The atmosphere was very passive-aggressive the whole time we were there. It’s unbelievable that we had this experience and I’m so glad we didn’t waste our money here.

I have been coming to this establishment for almost 20+ years now. So much So, that me and my group are known regulars at this location. Today, is a day that I never thought I would see happen. My most favorite establishment, not only had very bad service, but the food was just not the same. I was told that the cooks were new and not the same old cooks. I don’t know what its going to take, but either the new cooks need to step it up, or I will no longer be supporting a business that I have loved and treasured for more than a decade. I will miss those savory Mango Habanero Wings and Long Island Ice Tea Combo I normally get, however, nothing taste the same. Also service is just not what it should have been. Maybe it was just today, but that plus lackluster food, has truly put a damper into how I feel about everything.
UPDATE: This place has become the epitome of horrible dine-in experience. Since my first review I have tried to love my childhood spot 3 times over. I just can’t. The way this place is ran now is absolutely degraded from what I remember. Since the cooks have been switched the food has been sub-par at best. And after today, being charged 2.50 for Pizza Sauce to be added to my pizza, which should already come with pizza sauce, is by far the final straw for me. Horrible Food, New Waiters, and a kitchen staff that can’t get it right, has allowed me to make my decision of never returning here. I know that more people will come and I am just a single customer amongst many, however, it is sad to see such a iconic restaurant in my life, become a shell of its former self. Horrible Horrible experience, which seems to be the new trend for this place. So sad.
