    Terrific nachos

    I don't even want to leave a review because this is such a gem and I don't want people to know. Why does this bar attached to a bowling alley have such good food? Nightly food and drink specials, a happy hour, and it's never packed or too loud. Came in one night to watch a game and now I'm sad the season is ending because I need more reasons to come in.

    Ok food was bar food good and what you want. The price was good. I had a meatball slider a good flavor but the meatballs kinda fell out and didn't fit well. The st taco. Was good flavor. But served flat that was new not bad just different. The nachos was tasty we had half and couldn't finish it. The service was slow. We didn't sit at a bar. So we didn't get help. We had to keep going to the bar for food and drinks. That is loss of stars. To be fair. The my contact me in this app. To try the new menu and such. I do not live close. So it's not easy for me to get to this location and try again. It's in between work and home. That is why I went after work with a co worker

    If you are sponsoring a party, bowling event, workshop etc., this is the place. Outstanding facility for bowling, entertainment, family fun, workshops and parties. Diane and Amy provide exceptional catering, food, and drinks.

    This food is so not what you would expect! Because this restaurant is attached to a bowling alley, people expect fried foods/bar food but it is actually amazing! Great variety, large menu and huge space! They have trivia on Tuesday nights and karaoke on Thursday nights also! There's tons of TVs so you won't miss a sporting event and different drink specials. They even do catering!! Their catering menu is huge and has such an awesome selection! I was blown away when I attended a networking event that was catered by them. Reuben eggs rolls and Italian beef egg rolls were to die for! They even do amazing charcuterie boards! Go check it out!

    Breadsticks

    Got some food here while bowling. Have been here in the past and had their pizza. Enjoyed the pizza! This time we ordered bread sticks and chicken quesadillas. Bread sticks were good, but nothing amazing. Chicken quesadillas were very good. Bartender and servers were friendly and prompt. For a restaurant in / connected to a bowling alley, this is really great! Nothing to complain about, so, 5 stars!

    Chicken Caesar Salad

    Great salad- huge portion! Very reasonably priced too! Safety was top priority there too. Had a full body scanner there.

    Great potential and love the remodel but entire bar staff doesn't have a clue on how to work behind a bar.

Congratulations to owners Tony and Jeremy, GM Sean, Manager Rajan, Chef Maria, and the entire team for the warm hospitality and excellent dining experience.

The deal is half off apps, but if you enjoy an adult beverage, the house-brewed drafts are also half off. M-Th 3-6pm, dine-in only. At least that's what it is right now. I feel like it changes, so maybe call beforehand to confirm. I only got pics of the nachos this time, which really doesn't do it full justice because they're bigger than they look in the photo. Food is always good and consistent, there's nothing really to complain about regarding service or prices, and parking has always been really easy, though that could be because we typically go on Tuesdays. I imagine weekends could be a little bit busier, but the place is pretty big, so even if you have to wait, I don't think that you'd be waiting that long. The vibe is also casual and low-key.

Neighborhood Inn has been a longtime favorite and is one of the best places for hangout out watching games and sports. A lot of the classic drinks and eats on the menu. There's also tons of vegan options including burgers, nachos, and shit loads of things. Chill place when there's not much going on in the way of sports but when there is it can get crazy. It's got a lot of great specials to choose from. They're known for Bloody Marys and mimosas so this is an okay place for women. A pretty big menu to look at. They even have breakfast and late night options. It's $5 to get margaritas on Tuesdays, and vodka mixers on Fridays. The food menu is massive. A lot of plant based options. It's about $15 to get The Veganator. A big ass burger that's plant based. This has avocado, cheese substitute, and pico de gallo. A lot more options to choose from. There's everything from nachos to tacos and other Mexican type of stuff. Get lots of stuff to drink and eat. It's located on Hassell in the one plaza. There's tons of options for vegans.

    It has been some time since we have visited Global Brew Schaumburg so we were way overdue…read more We visited early on St. Patty's Day and enjoyed a few samples before commiting to a pint. I love that there are always a few great ciders on tap or in cans too. Hubby tried the Chimay and also a Phase Three (P3) Amber. P3 always has some great IPAs or a Stout to try, but I really like the smoothies too. It is fun to sit at the bar and look at the many cans, bottles and drink options. Happy hour tater tots with beer cheese are a perfect shareable bite. We left before the night got too packed for Shenanigans and trivia. Always terrific and friendly service here. We love the pet friendly patio when it is warm outside, minus the cigarette buttes on the ground out back.

The place was packed at 9pm (and until the…read moretrivia ended not too long after), and this gentleman was the seemingly the only bartender, server, and waitstaff. No patrons appeared annoyed/ angry... so he was keeping up fairly well. I would say that at 9pm when we arrived, it was fairly loud inside with the trivia going on. That's not my jam, but if it happens to be of interest, folks seemed like they were all having a blast. As soon as the trivia ended, there was a max exit from the establishment. There are a bunch of on tap and canned selections of different beers and a few wines and sangria on tap, as well. We didn't get any food, but there was reportedly a couple of kitchen staff working. I did see a platter of tots being brought out that looked good. Overall a great place to dive into for a good beer. It's in the same parking lot as Binnys.
