Service was good food was not. Went on a Saturday night and only 3 tables. Should've been a warning. Overpriced and less than average. Nachos had no meat, processed cheese, wings cold and overcooked, cheese sticks cold and also overpriced. Will not return. read more

The food was VERY good for the prices and I would come back here again. The meatballs, sushi, and burgers were tasty and came in good portion sizes. read more

My husband and I were out for date night and went here after seeing a movie. First time here and we were not disappointed. Everything from service, to drinks, to food was top notch. We will definitely be back!, read more

My husband and I just ate here for the first time and are so impressed! I was expecting something like Bdubs but this place is a classy sports bar that's family owned. The owners greeted us and sat us outside. Outdoor seating area was perfectly shaded and the tables are a nice marble top and the wicker chairs were so sharp. I got a contemporary vibe with upbeat music playing. The food all arrived hot and fresh and everything tasted delicious. The napkins are cloth not paper! We ate the anthem wings, fish tacos, and the Philly cheesesteak. Nothing disappointed. The bathrooms were clean as well. The server was so kind as well. If you're a foodie like we are you'd love this sports bar. Limited menu but still a large variety of options. read more

See all

The food is very below par for its prices and they unnecessarily add surcharges to your bill when I've never seen that anywhere else (party of 5 only too). The place is pretty empty and the food definitely was microwaved. Would not recommend. Customer service was not anything to rave about either. read more

There is no selection of good beer. The calamari is terrible and the other entree was poor. Need a makeover to make it.

Since we work in the area my co-workers and I were excited a new bar had opened. We came for the $5 wine Friday and ended up ordering food too. When it came to the bill we were charged full price for wine. The server forgot that was the special.... service needs a bit of training I think. read more

i was very pleased with the food and the service and had been a customer before the change of menu. i am a doctor and a nutritionist and must say the quality of the food is wonderful. just a reminder to all that when a restaurant makes a transition such as a change of menu - this can also include trial and error with the staff which can take an adjustment period. read more

Their red rock sushi is very good. The hubby likes their wings & plenty of TVs to watch all of the football games. The only other thing we've tried is their steak appetizer which was not very good. We will update if we try something else... read more

This place is incredible. The food is ostentatious and the people are so transparent. Every time I take my wife and kids here we have an exceptional experience. One thing about this place is that no one gets poor treatment; everyone gets treated professionally here. For me, this is what I consider great service.I highly recommend to give this restaurant a try, they are the best in Naperville! read more

Converted from Tokyo Bay, Anthem Ale House is a great place to get a great craft beer, get some pub style food, and watch a game. Lots of TVs with a wide variety of sports: College Football, premier league soccer, baseball, and US Open Tennis. Good daily specials as well. Havent been to the Karaoke yet, but the Tokyo Bay Karaoke was an absolute blast. read more

My biggest complaint is trying to participate on Karaoke..... we submitted our request and saw that we we were up next and they never called us... we tipped very well and yet no options to sing the songs we requested.. we saw the same three people sing over and over and over again... we will not be back until the this improves read more

Anthem is the best place to watch College Football on Saturdays. Great beer list, tons of TVs, and the Wings are some of the best I've had. Great service too. New favorite Saturday spot. read more

Like others have said. Sad bland tasteless frozen food. Cannot customize....... pathetic presentation. No one even told us what the dipping sauces/squirt bottles were. Unhappy scary young lady behind the bar. Not friendly at all. I know she was on her own but thee weren't many people in this place. No atmosphere at all...... Was a good sushi place just a month ago. Nothing has changed inside or out!!!! Weird..... thankfully just ordered apps to try and went elsewhere for proper food. Houlihans has this place beat hands down and they appreciate their customers! Don't waste your time here. One visit and done for us. Very disappointed. read more

Service was terrible waitress couldn't even figure out how to spilt a check. Took forever just to get mozzarella sticks, and the food tasted straight from the freezer. I could have made it at home i wasn't happy at all. I would suggest going somewhere else defiantly read more

I was in a couple of weeks ago and I was disappointed at first when I found out the menu had changed but I must say that the food selections I tried were very good especially the Vietnamese soup and the hummus dip. They also have an outdoor seating area which I enjoy during the warm weather. I have always experienced good service. I will most definitely return! read more

Great food, great service. Diverse menu with great choices. Don't be fooled by a place that serves tacos, spaghetti and sushi. And ask for whatever you want off menu- they'll probably make it! Highly recommend! read more

This place is outstanding. Pork tacos are the real deal, Omg'sh so good. Egg rolls are the best I've ever had. Homemade soups are the best and I'm not a soup guy. You've got to get the wings as well. Trust me everything is great in the menu read more

Great food, great environment and Tennessee Mule is a must. Must come and try next time you are around

Love love love this place! Very fun and kind staff. Quick service. Great environment! TV's no matter where you look. The food is absolutely mouth watering, I highly suggest either the grilled wings, or the legendary Anthem wings. To "tap" it all off, the beer selection is superb! They have something for everyone. Overall great place to grab a beer, have a family dinner, catch a game, or karaoke your heart out with friends. This area has been needing a place like this for a long time! read more

I really like what Ken, Brenda & Christine has done with this place! I've been going to their place since day 1. This is the 2nd time I've eaten at the Anthem and the food was great, service fantastic and the building and bathrooms very clean. Prices were very comparable and cheaper than the previous Sushi establishment. Brenda greeted us and check numerous times on us both times. Certainly will be back again! Give it a try.... Randy M read more

These bad reviews can't possibly be real. Coming from a food service industry background, I can tend to be a little pickier than a normal person. This place is PHENOMENAL. The blonde bar tender Erin is one of the best bar tenders I've ever seen. She can't be human, lol. She was able to make every person feel like they were the only person at the bar while making drinks for the tables at the same time. So super kudos to her and her great drinks! Tina was another bartender with amazing drinks and exceeded anything we expected. The steak nachos were on the same level. Very fresh and tasted amazing! They also had a guy named Dave that was helpful! This is our new regular spot! read more

Good food, great service. Pot stickers are the best appetizer and the sushi is unbelievable.

I love this place. They treat you like family. Music taste is awesome. Sushi is prime. Bar food keeps you going till closing. Make sure to talk to Christine she is a joy and a half. Cheers to Anthem. read more

This place has it all, Great service, the food was excellent! The owner Ken came up to our table and chatted a bit, finally a neighborhood bar for South NAPERVILLE!!! Great drink specials and outdoor dining, first class all the way! Paul Likes read more

We were there after watching a movie at the AMC theater. That was on July 26. Busy Friday night and understaffed. We ordered the chicken quesadilla, chips and salsa, a Diet Pepsi and rum on the rocks. The quality of the food was mediocre and to add insult to injury we were charge twice. I was going to pay with my debit card but the waiter said it didn't went through which was rare given that I just paid for movie tickets. My son picked up the tab and it went through. When I checked my account the charges went through indeed. I contacted my bank and now they were not reimburse my money because I "authorized the charge" accordingly which I didn't since my card " didn't went through. Check your tab and your account for charges. read more

We had a really good time there. The sushi was amazing, a nice beer list and the staff was very friendly

Amazing experience. If you looking for dive bar pricing, but convenient location because you live in the area, this not the place for you. Staff give attention to details even if they are busy with a smile on their BEAUTIFUL faces. I was impressed with the food particularly, bars normally don't care about " food presentation " Well... They do. The karaoke host was pleasant and fun also. For them to make it through such tuff times and still have a full staff is impressive, we should continue to support small businesses like this instead of tearing them down, because believe me.... If we have no more local places like these, we can say goodbye to the night life as we know it! read more

Amazing food!! I ordered the steak tacos and the meat was cut perfectly, I honestly liked the tacos more than the ones I would order at a Mexican restaurant. The garlic bread is so flavorful and delicious, it's my daughters favorite. We love the large range and variety of food on the menu and cannot wait to try many other appealing foods from here in the future. The staff is always super friendly and greets me with a smile, I will never stop coming here! read more

AWFUL! Food is not good, my "grilled" wings were microwaved. Our server exhibited poor service, no real knowledge of the beer selection or time awareness. The establishment still looks like the previous sushi getup; cheap coverup with a new concept. read more

What is this place? A classy cocktail bar? A sports bar? A snobby beer place? It's trying and failing at all three. Beer list was boring. Surprised they didn't have a long list of craft bottles, or their own brews or something. "Ale house" is a very loose term. We came in and stood around awkwardly until a host appeared. 8:30 on a Friday and the bartenders were all huddled in the opposite side of the bar talking about some vodka. Kind of weird. We had read the mixed reviews about service, so we rolled with it. Buffalo cauliflower was a good portion size. I thought it was tasty. Shared well between 3 of us. Two got anthem burgers-- DONT DO IT! Egg was not runny and the burger was on the dry side. We asked for medium burgers, she said they usually do medium well but she'd put it in. They were well done, no mistake. It wasn't terrible, I ate it, but the namesake burger should be a highlight. 3rd persons review of fried chicken sandwich was "ehh ok, chicken was overcooked" we liked the tater tots. It got pretty crowded closer to 9:30, the server could hardly get over to our table to bring us our check in time for the movie, make sure to build in time for that if it's date night! Overall, I'm not going back until I hear they've changed their ways... $40 for 2 of us, 1 beer, 2 burgers and an app. Not awful, as long as I enjoy the food. read more

The food here is average at best. The service was horrendous. The fried calamari was overbreaded and my burger overcooked. The tacos barely had any filing in them. All the food was cold. Not sure who was slower, the cook or the server. It took almost two hours for our table to receive our meals. I've never had such bad service. Sorry Anthem but I can't say anything positive. I wish I could. read more

Bad and not at all a brewery as the name might make you think! All beers are from other places and companies. Food was low quality and not very good. Atmosphere and decor is EXACT same from when it was recently Tokyo Bay and I believe it is the same owners. Just new name and they added tv's on the walls. Even the music was bad. Underwhelming and no reason to ever go back! read more

I want to start this off by saying I was a server and bartender for 4 years and I think this place is not going to last long. I went with my family to Anthem house on Saturday around 6. I thought it being a new restaurant and especially an ale house it was going to be busy and my expectations were high. I was throughly disappointed. There was a handful of people there. We asked if they had a kids menu, they didn't..when looking at the menu not only was it extremely hard to read but it all looked and sounded like typical bar food. Btw they actually do have a kids menu with 3 items on it..Quesadilla, mac n cheese, and chicken tenders. It's an odd atmosphere it's got about 15 drafts which are the same as if you go to any other bar (Miller lite, blue moon, etc) , but they still had all the sushi stuff there. It's a cross between a pub and a sushi place. There soup is ramon ...not what I think when asking for soup. The service was mediocre. I asked for napkins and never received any. I asked for a refill and watched the server walk to the bar and the proceed in a 2-3 minute conversation still with my empty glass in his hand. Upon asking again for napkins he walked away to the sushi bar and either was playing on his phone or eating, either way there's a kitchen for that...The food...salty and bland. There was no uniqueness and the meals don't come with a side. My dad got a philly cheese steak sandwich it had 2 thin slices of steak and the rest was all onions and green peppers. My mom got the tenderloin tips again extremely salty and no side. I got a quesadilla which I could have made better at home. The salsa was terrible. The uniforms and overall restaurant just all seemed thrown together with no thought or effort. Stick to what you know which is sushi. Finally it's expensive for cheap bar food. read more

Frustrating experience here. I've been a here before and left a very positive review. We showed up for the sushi that was our favorite to be told that the chef is out of town. The bar tender forgot about us and our initial drinks for the first 40 minutes. When the server came he admitted that she did without even being prompted. When we initially walked in the place wasn't that busy.. we rushed to get both apps and entrees in because we were concerned we wouldn't even be seen again. I am willing to be the owner is the chef and when he is out of town this place is poorly staffed and poorly run. Take a tip or you will be out of business soon. Waiter Christian was very nice and did the best he could given the circumstances - he fulfilled a role as both a bus boy and waiter and you could see him running around. I could tell he felt bad. read more

This is practically next door to the theatre, and the fish tacos are DELICIOUS! The bartender Jacey is adorable. They have a GREAT selection of beer and wine. I will definitely be returning , and plan on hosting a work event here soon. Parking is plentiful, and you can be seated at the bar, or a table. Restrooms are large and clean. read more

Very limited menu. Not sure if they want to be Tokyo Bay serving pub food or a pub serving sushi but the menu they provided had only a few entrees. Didn't see anything unique so we didn't stay. As we left, hostess said "but we have sushi". It's a ale house. How about a variety of burgers? read more

Great food! I love the variety of their drink menu. From different types of drafts to cocktails.

I have gone to this place for years and I can't stress enough how great, not only the food, but the people are here. It's like having dinner and a drink in your own dining room. read more

This place is hip and the drInks were fantastic. People here are so nice and I'm not talking about the staff. The bartenders and servers are very attentive to the guest.They have a good concept, serving burgers tacos and sushi In a sports bar. That's pretty cool. I will be back read more
