    Heileman's Old Style And Cashews
    Steve A.

    Aurora Tap House is of course a bar in Aurora. It features beer and not that much else but that's not a problem when it's cold and cheap. Sure you can also get some cocktails for good prices too. Good place for watching a game. There's not really any good food but they have roasted nuts and popcorn. Even though this particular bar hasn't been here that long, the building has. It used to be Web Tavern , a local favorite that closed a few years ago and what locals compared this newer bar to. This may not have the same charm that did but whatever. It's still a dive bar. They serve cheap shit like Old Style and other good stuff in bottles, cans, and on tap. It's about $2 a pint. There's not much in the way of food except a few snacks. It's about $2 for some cashews. There's also popcorn. Also there's pizza that comes in. They let you bring stuff in on a few occasions. Good and cheap. It has plenty of TVs so you can watch almost any game. They also have live music sometimes.

    Lively bar with a small town, college vibe. In downtown Aurora near the casino, theater & plenty of parking. About 25 minute stroll to the Metra / BNSF Aurora train station. Brightly lit compared to the end of the night at last call. Also unique to this bar is the flower girl walking around selling flowers to the patrons.

    Dogs welcome, crispy fresh pizza and cold draft old style. Very friendly and clean. Lots of games and plenty of street parking.

    I love this bar! Best prices, tons of TVs for sports and great staff! They offer pizza from a local pizza joint and it is really good.

    My bar away from my bar. Reminds me of a few of my favorite dives in Chicago. Great toaster pizza as well.

We went to the bar and asked if we seat ourselves... the bartender called the waitress over and she sat us right away. The menu has lots of great food options... pizza... tacos... salads... sandwiches and even desserts. We ordered 20 wings. 10 mild and 10 garlic parmesan. With a side of blue cheese for dipping. (Posted a video, not sure if it will show up on our review but you should be able to find it when searching images) The mild wings were really yummy! They were very flavorful! The garlic parmesan sauce was not my favorite... kind of blah and did not taste like there was any parmesan in the sauce... however the chicken wings were still cooked to perfect. Juicy chicken with a crispy coating.. the wings also were trimmed nicely.. no cartilage or gummy pieces. I would definitely dine here again! Our waitress kept checking in on us and gave us refills and she was very kind and loved her service with a smile!

When we're in town, we hit up all the old favorites, and Miller's Ale House was on the menu on June 25th. We had dinner plans with friends later, but we squeezed in a lunch date with beer and a shared appetizer. Their wings are legendary, so we ordered 12 to go with our brews. Let's get to the review. Service was top-notch - our host greeted us with a smile, and our waiter was on point. We got our beers within five minutes, no problem. The ambiance was cozy, well-lit, and bustling with sports tv and ambient noise. But here's the kicker - we waited 30 minutes for our wings. Yeah, it was 1:30 when we arrived and the place was pretty empty, but that's no excuse. Now why did give a rating of two? Well, for the service and ambiance only. We were served our wings at 2:00. How were the wings you maybe wondering? My Husband and I eagerly grab wing flats. 'Can these bones live?' Eating those wings immediately reminded me of Ezekiel 37 in the Old testament after he saw skeletons scattered about asked, "Can these bones live?" The wings were drier than the Sahara, and the honey barbecue sauce was just a weak attempt to revive the corpse. Can these dry out wings live up to being freshly made and juicy covered up by a tasty honey barque sauce? Hell to the naw, naw naw!!! We called our waiter over explained our dissatisfaction with a request to remove the wings off our bill. We still tipped him, because hey, he's not the wing assassin. since he only served the food and it was the kitchen that prepared that saucy dressed up trash plated up real pretty. What a let down Miller's. We noticed your price increase for six wings cut in half sold as 12 pieces. If you expect customers to pay more for less than you should be serving your best, that is cooked fresh not food that is precooked sitting for hours then reheated. I did check your reviews which were not the best and gave you the benefit of a doubt despite low ratings. Would I recommend Miller's? Sure, if you enjoy eating dry wings and wondering if they'll crawl off your plate. However, to each their own, your money, your call. This economy has got me rethinking the whole 'strike three and you're out' deal. Paying more for less, subpar service, unnecessary waiting time, honey it is now, strike one, you're on out as my time and coins are valuable and restaurants are hurting so I will search for one where I can get the love I deserve.

The End Zone is a bar that obviously has a sports theme. A lot of the basics. The prices are cheap on most things but it's of course crummy quality. Checked it out later one night and we got a few of the best items. It's got things that take forever after ordering. They may be used to people just having cocktails because the food sucks. Basic dive bar kind of crap. There's a few better things, but have some cash on you. It's about $6 for cocktails. Whiskey and whatever. Also get food. It's about $9 for appetizers including the pretzel sticks. Has the obligatory greasy stuff like any dive bar. There's wings and other things. Has a few okay things about it. It's open later even on weekdays so get your drinking and eating on. They're open all the time but go in the afternoons to avoid crazy traffic or whatever.

Ok, so the place smelled kinda bad when I first walked in, but I didn't noticed the stench after a few minutes. I can't even put my finger on what kind of bad. It was a Saturday afternoon, and there were a few people (I peg them for regulars) sitting by the bar. The service was great! The bartender lady took good care of us and was attentive even though we were the only ones not sitting at the bar. Nachos with beef - REALLY GOOD nachos! I was surprised by this awesomeness of this appetizer. The chips were deep fried and slightly puffy. They were loaded with ground beef, beans and cheese. You can also get them with chicken or steak instead of beef. Italian beef - Pretty good, but wasn't a fan of the fresh cut fries. The onion rings were huge and I would order those rather than fries next time. There were plenty of TV's with different sports on them and a few pool tables.
