Great Vibes and place! Our Bartender was amazing, plus having some pool tables to play a couple of games is a big plus! read more

Go here Thursday evenings and be served by the kindest and prettiest bartender around, Amy! Your drink will never be empty, the conversation is always pleasant and she draws a large and loyal following! She's worth the visit...and get some wings and fries while you're at it! They're terrific too! read more

Chill spot to hang out. Amanda was a good bartender -- friendly and kept the drinks coming fast. Prices were actually really reasonable, which is hard to find lately. Huge bonus that there's a taco spot right next door, so grabbing food after drinks was perfect. Definitely coming back. read more

Tonight, we were looking for a late night food run. We accidentally came across Bob McCulloughs. We were happy to hear that the kitchen was open until midnight! Upon entering, there are gambling machines on the left, and a couple billiards tables on the right. On modest square shaped bar on the far wall. The bar had all walks of life, ages, and demographics which was nice. The one bartender was nice but over worked so it took awhile for her to get to us. I ordered a sausage pizza with mushrooms and green peppers. We also ordered a chicken sandwich with waffle fries. The chicken sandwich was... ok. Just a generic tasting chicken sandwich. The pizza came out and had yellow peppers on it which made it look weird... but it tasted good! To our surprise, this soggy thin crust pizza tasted really good ! Funny, it reminded us of those generic cheap pizzas you out in the oven as a kid that tasted so good. It won't rewrite history on pizzas but if you need a late night food run, try their pizzas out. Overall, the bar was clean and had a fun, friendly atmosphere. Drop on in and check them out! read more

I love Bob's .great prices and food.while I am not a regular.I go about once a week.mainly during the week.However,I had the worst experience there yesterday ..The bartender who works on Sunday is the absolute worst.terrible service .Have to ask for everything.terrible crappy attitude.just wants to talk to regulars and too busy doing multiple shots instead of providing service.3 or 4 shots when I was there.Don't want to deal with a drunk bartender.. Couldn't care less about service .I left her a small tip but she did not deserve any tip.In closing I would just say: AVOID Bob's on SUNDAY. Had to call her multiple times for the most basic of service Has no business behind a bar Go to Taco Bell.They are looking for help Disgusting read more

This is a suburbanite sipper's dream. Cheap drinks, late hours & pool tables. After having dinner nearby, we decided to stop in for a nightcap that turned into Apple fire bombs. I know. If you never had it before, it is cider, whiskey and something else. ..... I opted to have a Midori Sour ($4.50) and Angry Orchard on tap. I was charged $5 for the AO but suspect is was a little less. The place has the cleanest ladies bathroom you have ever seen inside a pub. Normally, I am afraid to touch the door knob of most establishments with super late hours. This place is an exception in that the bathroom was also spacious and has a full length mirror. Service was okay except for the fact that you had to walk up to the counter to place an order. The waitress did not make rounds to check on you. I found that to be a little discouraging and I am sure that was for the best anyway. Would I return to this place? Absolutely. read more

The cheapest pool hall I've found in the area and a lot nicer than the bowling alleys. The pool tables are really nice, servers are super friendly, and prices are cheap. Haven't tried any of their food yet, so maybe next time if I'm hungry. Mon. - Thurs. from 11AM - 7PM: $5/person unlimited play Fri. - Sat.: $5/person per hour - 4 full size pool tables & 1 smaller table - daily drink specials ($1.99 pints when I went) - free darts area w/ leather couch seating - they have a ping pong table (not sure if it's free) read more

If I were ranking the bar itself, I would give it one star. But since they had live music, Slowhand a Clapton/Cream cover band, I had to up the rating a little for awesome music! The food was pretty terrible... we ordered the potato skins which were overpriced ($7 for 4 dry bland potato skins). The drinks were not very cheap like others said. Mixed well drinks were $4 and Bud light bottles were $3. You can get that anywhere in the suburbs.... or an even better deal at an equal hole in the wall. I came here right after eating at the fabulous Sushi Ya and if it wasn't for the band I would have left right away. read more

We felt very out of place when we walked in. I was with my sisters & a friend. I remember going here when it used to have a different name a few years back... We just wanted to grab a few drinks before we went to hookah next door & ended up staying for a couple hours. It was a nice place to just sit & talk. Music wasn't too loud, the bar wasn't too crowded. The place was actually pretty empty. Which we didn't mind. It seems like this place is a local bar kinda thing, where everyone knows everyone. They have their regulars and stuff. Someone was having their bday party there. Everyone knew each other (& the bartender) on a first name basis. I had rumchata & fireball. It was very good. The vodka redbull tasted super watered down tho. It tasted like water and redbull. read more

Good local spot for beer pool darts and friendly people! I would recommend going and saying hello you might find a new weekly hang out.

Sweet people, love the atmosphere and great service. Played pool and the girls were very generous. Good times, cheers!

Visiting the area for a conference and decided to shoot some pool and relax. The food was great, the beer was cold and Nadine was accomodating as a bartender/hostess. Prices were amazingly low, too! Ordered the "nacho mountain" and curds as appetizers and they rocked. So much so that 6 of us couldnt finish them. Pizzas and burgers were on point, also. read more

My friend and I decided to check this place out after sushi just a few doors up to grab a couple drinks and play some pool. We walked in and were not greeted. We found a spot in a dark abandoned corner. Took a minute for the waitress to come by and take our drink order. We sit and talk for about 20 minutes while we wait for a billiard table to open up. By then my bottle was empty, and no one had even come by to see how we were doing. I had to walk up to the bar to order another drink and wait 5 minutes for someone to even notice I was standing there. Got my drinks, and a pool table finally. Also, apparently, karaoke night is on Thursday as well. So we finish up our pool game just as karaoke begins, and the waitress finally comes around to ask if we want to close our tab. (What tab, I didn't start one). We reply with a "yes." We were under-charged for our drinks and over-charged for our pool game. My only advice is that you pay more attention to your customers...and maybe the tip would be better. Just sayin. read more

Local bar, friendly service but the bartender didn't even know what a Manhattan was... I'm assuming a lot of people go here because the hooka bar next door doesn't service alcohol. Wasn't the worst place to go but defiantly wasn't the best. read more

I live only 2 minutes away from this place and I went there for the first time last week. A few of us went over there to check it out. One, because it's an Irish place and my family is QUITE Irish. And two, we were slightly bored with the other areas around town so we decided to check it out! It was a Wednesday night when we went and it wasn't crowded... at all. Which is slightly worrisome because it was an adorable little joint. And it's WAY bigger than you'd expect! Tons of Billiards and a great staff. As soon as we walked in, one of the servers asked us if we wanted popcorn (for free). Very pleasant. We only had drinks at the bar, no food, but the bartender was extremely nice. I believe his name was Bob (no, not THE Bob). He was very helpful and named off some specials and recommendations. Even though the well drinks were $3.00, he gave them as tall ones. That was super nice of him! I'll have to check out their food the next time I go, but it as a nice little place. I was a little confused as to why they didn't spice up the bar with more Irish merchandise, but maybe they'll get there. They had a ton of Chicago items though, so that was fun... but let's see some Irish stuff too! Cute little joint and a nice staff. Check it out sometime and see what ya think! read more

I would definitely classify Bob's as a dive bar, but its a fun place to go on Sundays for football! Its never too crowded or loud (I hate loud bars) and the staff is really friendly. This is my go to place during football season. They'll turn on other games besides the bears upon request (I'm not the one asking, but someone in our group is a Colts fan boooo!). They also started doing a free half time buffet. It consisted of chicken wraps, italian beef, hot dogs, fries, and every bloody mary topping you could want! (They have $5 bloody mary's on Sundays). It was a pretty decent buffet for free! Bobs also does raffles for jerseys every game day, and considering there's not many people there, your chances of winning are pretty high. They arent cheap jerseys either, they're the real deal. We've actually one the raffle twice now! This is definitely a chill spot for bears games! And who can't pass up a free buffet??? Don't let the dive bar look turn you away... good service, lots of tvs, free food, and chances to win jerseys! P.S. The usually make the drinks REALLY strong there! Always a plus =] read more

Really nice for a dive bar. Friendly bartenders. Good food specials. Good drink specials. They serve food late which is also a perk. Only downside is the typical clientele are not people I normally want to be around. read more

We've been here a few times. The food is average bar fried food, so you're not going there for that. But the crowd is a group of regulars that really exclude anyone else coming in to enjoy the place. All the bar contests are won by the regulars. No new customers need apply. We'll be looking for a place that wants new customers. read more

HIDDEN GEM! Bob's is one of the few bars in the Chicagoland area that provides a very fun and spirited experience across the generational divide. Boomers, Gen-X, Millennials, and Gen-Y's are frequents there. What's the secret? It feels like it's your bar not theirs. The welcoming atmosphere, ample space, excellent staff, and a very good selection of food keep me coming back. I recommend the wings and pizza. Everything is priced right, food and drinks. Plenty of chairs, tables, pool tables, darts, gaming, and TV's. All local sports are covered. Alyssa and her staff are excellent!! They always greet you with a positive attitude and say good bye. Service is fast and accurate. This place should be on your list to frequent in the Schaumburg area. read more

My cousin initially hyped this bar up to a 5 star, but when I got there I was disappointed BIGTIME. So 1 week ago, I turned 21, due to Covid I was not able to turn my ID vertical. When I went to the bar presented my LEGAL 21 'vErTicAL ID" I was denied service because my ID was vertical. The servers clearly do not understand circumstances and the difficult times we are in. If you're in Schaumburg do yourself a favor n visit a Main Stream bar. These guys clearly can't think for themselves. DON'T RUIN YOUR NIGHT. read more

Don't ever set foot in this place. Really bad service. The pool table were not in best shape. The servers could care less and were eating behind the bar. O stars read more

There are few places to enjoy a drink in Scahmurg that is not a national chain so I have had this place on my t go list for a while. It has four pool table and a nice "small" place charm. That is the key word as This is a Chicago suburban village that seems to have its goal of only having large places to eat and drink. This is a nice unique change from what is in this village and surrounding towns of NorthWest suburbia Chicago. The service was kind of crappy though and bartender was only real friendly to regulars which could precisely be the point why these large corporations have taken the bar order. Who knows read more

They would not make pizza during the bears game tonight because it was too hot. ?? Terrible service

I go to McCulloughs for the pool tables. Very reasonable and they are all 9 ft tables and very level. A lot of times there is no server to come to the pool tables so just go the bar which is 20 feet away and you don't have wait 45 minutes like some places. read more

If you're not a regular, you might feel a little out of place at the bar. Being that I don't mind feeling out of place, I figured I'd stay it out. Bartender was nice enough. Draft beer prices were decent. All in all, ok place to stop for an ok beer at an ok price. read more

Just awful! It wasn't busy at all, and yet the waitress somehow took FOREVER to even acknowledge us. We ordered drinks, which the bartender did a good job making. Then yet ANOTHER wait before the waitress asked if we'd like to order anything. We hadn't even gotten menus! The food was typical bar food, I had a burger, my husband had wings, nothing special. Then the manager came and introduced himself by saying "You're paying my bills, so I'd like to know what brought you here." Ummm, excuse me? It was probably not his intention to be rude, but we found that to be very off putting. We will not be returning, and suggesting our friends do the same. read more

Imagine this.... your with a group of guys for a bachelor party and the groom just wants to play pool and darts. This place fit the bill perfectly. We played darts for several hours and it was free even. However, being a north side Chicagoan snob, this wouldn't be my choice of a place to hang out. If you are looking for a divey pool hall without any irony this might be a good place to go. read more

Not too shabby!! My friend and I came here for cheaper drinks after our meal at Seasons 52. We didn't want our date to end, but we also didn't want to pay 10.50 per drink. Enter Bob McCullough's. We got there around 8 on a Saturday night, and the place was surprisingly slow. There were about five people at the bar, and that was it. So we joined them and both ordered Amaretto Stone Sour. My friend said she had had it there before and it was really good because the guy that made them put a little bit of Red Bull into the glass, so it was a sparkling kick. Unfortunately that guy wasn't making our drinks. It was a girl who was VERY heavy-handed with the "sour" portion. EEK! I could barely drink it!! But a managed ((wipes sweat from brow)) and ordered a Mike's Hard Lemonade after that, just to be safe. My tab was $9.50 for my two drinks (5.00 for the sour...eek, I mean Amaretto Stone Sour and $4.50 for the Mike's). There were some more people that came by in the couple hours that we were there. Some played pool, some ordered food, but it wasn't super busy by any means. I had a good time, though, and if I am ever around there looking for cheap drinks, I know where to go! read more

I have been here a few times and as far as bar food and drinks go they are really decent by quality and prices. It is a local small time bar so sometimes when busier than expected there may be limited staff but overall great local place. We will return read more

Is it on and popping on a Friday evening - not at all! SLOW service.. Ordered an appetizer combo platter and after 15 min the waitress comes up and lets us know they are out of mozzarella sticks! So we waited and waited and finally the appetizer combo platter was served with our food. Does it get better? Nope. The chicken wrap was bland, the potato skins & wings just average. Oh a bright note, they do have pretty good drink specials! read more

not a bad place for happy hour. the people were friendly, and it was a decent amount of people. the daily drink specials are solid too. food.. was ok- as far as bar food goes. the chicken wrap was aok. they do serve waffle fries, and i'm a sucker for some good waffle fries. from talking to the bartenders (ann was awesome), they just started serving food- so hopefully they'll up the qual a notch in that area. read more

Best little dive bar in Schaumburg! Drinks are cheap, food is good, the bartenders are awesome and friendly! Never too crowded, never too loud! Douchy customers don't last long, so the crowd is really cool. Half priced pizzas on Wednesday and half time buffet during bears games! Yes it's a dive bar in a strip mall, but shouldn't be overlooked! read more

Great place to watch monday night football.Outstanding food and drink specials. $1.50 Tacos rocks!!!!! Stuff were exceptionaly friendly.

Nice little neighborhood tavern that is around the corner from my friends' place. It is a lot bigger than it looks on the outside, and we were able to enjoy a few beverages well after other watering holes in the area had closed. My brother appreciated one of their hand-stretched pizzas, and we found the help had a lot brought a lot of levity and was attentive. Probably put it on the short list of go-to places to visit for a drink when we are in the area again. read more

I wish I could rate the service, food, and drinks separately. It's the food that is preventing my rating to be a single star. The burgers are great, I love that they have tater tots, their nachos are HUGE, but THE SERVICE IS TERRIBLE. I've been going to this bar for about a year now semi-regularly. I was hoping after the ownership changed the service would get better. Nope. There's always one waitress working, two people at the bar, a pretty small crowd of customers and it takes forever to get a drink. In my opinion, a good bar never allows your bottle to go empty. At Bob's your bottle goes empty and then all the drops at the bottom evaporate while you wait for the staff to notice your existence and to offer you another. read more

Way too much money for pool. $7 per person for unlimited pool. Sounds great at first but if a coin op table is $1 per game, you need to play 14 games to get your money's worth. Only 4 tables in there and at least 3 of them need to be reupholstered. read more

I give it 4 stars for its great pizza and food, plus sometimes liberal pours from the generally friendly bartenders. Otherwise, yes it's an average suburban bar that is oddly rarely packed most of the evenings I've visited. Drink prices are average and food is quite reasonable. Take away the awesome pizza and occasional over pour its a 3 star joint. I'll be back and will continue to recommend. read more

Great staff. Free buffet on football Sundays. Surprised I haven't been in this place already. Love it!
