There's fun things including a pool table. Even with the name of it we still think it's a pretty cool bar. It's one of the few not fancy looking places in this part of the city. There's a few parts of it with their own atmosphere and gatherings. Basically it has a couple entrances. One is where they have the pool table. It's about $5 to get a basic cocktail. We got something with whiskey. Main bar area is in the middle. The other entrance goes to another seating area full of tables. Here is where to go if not sitting at the bar. They sometimes have events such as live music. Good bar that's better than many think it would be. It's located on Highland at Grove. They're open late including both weekdays and weekends.

They also hold some events and I saw a table that said they had a Bloody Mary bar, but it wasn't going on the day we went. We ordered a meatball sub, bone-in wings, boneless wings, and fries/onion rings to try. We told the server to bring the food out as it was ready. We waited a long while for our first item to come out and it was the bone-in wings surprisingly, then the boneless wings, and finally the meatball sub. The wings were great and I enjoyed the onion rings as well! The meatball sub was cold and did not taste the best. If I come again, I would just come for the wings and a few drinks. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The bartender and guests at the bar were laughing and having a good time. If you're from out of town, it's also worth mentioning the good that the owner does... outside of having this restaurant. He holds food pantries for the locals no questions asked. When we were going through government shutdown last year, he also partnered with Jewel Osco to give away Turkey dinner kits so family's could have a Thanksgiving. If all else, that's one heck of a reason to give your business here.

Bobby's Tap has a simple but still pretty great variety of beers and liquors to choose from. For sure there won't be anything exotic so it's not fancy and overpriced. The staff and the regular customers seem okay and respectful. Basic looking bar. It's a little free standing building between a crummy looking motel and a Mexican supermarket. That sounds like a sketchy area, but the bar is clean, and there was nothing crazy going on in there. Basic beers to choose from. They have most in bottles and cans, of course with a few more on tap. It's about $5 to get Jameson. Pretty good prices. Also free popcorn, along with whatever they bring in. The bar only has an inside, so there isn't a patio. For sure it's a better bar than it looks. It's located in a pretty boring area on Plainfield Road. They only have free popcorn for food but you can bring in stuff.
