Definitely one of those bars that you just cant resist when driving by! As their saying goes "Finnegan's, you're only a stranger once!"

I can only evaluate based on two items and carryout as I did NOT eat inside…read more I ordered at the bar, which the service was quick and pleasant. I ordered the Restaurant Crawl special for $7 which was the Lake Perch basket with cole slaw & tartar sauce. I also ordered the sweet potato fries for $7. Both entrees were excellent. The Lake Perch was just perfect. It's fried and not soaked in butter how some restaurant prepare it. So it's easy to handle and dip into the tartar sauce, which was on the sweet side. The cole slaw would have been better if it was in a separate bag or container instead of being with the fish as it was warm. The sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly, too. Very tasty and I at every last one! It did not need any condiment to make them taste better. I would go back - but not sure about eating indoors - it's definitely a bar area and it appears to allow smoking inside, unsure of that though. The bar has two sides and there are plenty of large/long tables spread out and you can dine as a single, couple or larger group. But there is a sign on the door that says 21 and over only. They will card!

Pines Tap is your typical union-worker hangout bar. You'll see the same old guys every single day,…read morefresh off the clock from the steel mills, sitting at the bar and sipping an MGD or an Old Style. Doesn't sound too promising, does it? Well, there is much more to Pines Tap than old union workers, my friend. This place has the BEST daily dinner specials. Me, I'm partial to the Friday night fish fry, where you can choose from fresh lake perch, cod, frog legs, shrimp, or walleye for somewhere around $7. It's a steal considering how much food you get. And this fish is GOOD! The lake perch is some of the best I've had around---and I'm saying this after having Phil Smidt's and Teibel's and some of the other infamous perch houses of the region. It almost tastes like they took fresh lake perch--only hours old---and fried it in a Long John Silver's-type batter. The result is a crispy outside and a decadent, tasty cut of fish on the inside. If you order it with fries, you'll find this side to be just as tasty as the fish. And don't expect a hole in the wall, even thought Pines Tap isn't in the greatest location of Hammond. It is very well kept up, with a handsome decor in solid wood. The regulars can tend to be a little grizzly looking, though.

I honestly do not have much to share about this venue. I was there for almost 2hrs and didnt have…read moreanything to eat or drink. I showed up to a friends birthday/karaoke party. It started at 7pm. I arrived closer to 8pm. There were people there, and as the hour progressed more and more people showed up. I assumed the singing and such would have started on time. But when I left after 9pm... no singing had begun. When Inarrived a server asked did I want a menu, I said yes. But she never returned. So I sat drink less, food less. This making up in my mind I wouldnt be staying long. The place was rather spacious, clean, looked like a good time would be had(on another occassion). I actually want to go back one day and have SOME SORT of experience. It was a cozy spot. Pizza and wings. People were complaining about their drinks... but it was nothing I could personally give a tip or judgment on or about... no one ever served me. *shrug*

What to say 'bout Jack's.... I was "Benchwarmers" Years…read moreago... ahhh memories. Anyway, Jack's is a great little place with daily drink specials and an awesome set of cooks in back. Bartenders are frickin' awesome, and hook you up right. The beer is always cold and the mixed drinks are normally on point, sometimes a bit strong though but, who minds THAT? Food to get: Irish Nachos - Ho-Ly Jesus, talk about a loaded plate! Feeds at least 2 people. Pizza - one size one price 14" for $10.00 and pretty darn good. Jack Burger or Mini's - 'tis tasty, hot, juicy and delicious. What's cool: Svedka Pitchers - they're all good flavored pitchers but the lemonade one's my fave. Trivia on Mondays - always a decent crowd gettin' their knowledge on. Stuff to do: Pool (billiards if you prefer), Darts, Karaoke on occasion too. Aww man...: This may be a "woohoo" for some(not I). It's Illinois so you gotta smoke OUTSIDE. Mens room... meh, it's a mens room, it's kinda dirty(ish) but has soap 'n water. Beer - yup... this bar has beer. Needs to add some local brews though, just sayin' This bar is kinda like Cheers... become a regular and it's "Where everybody knows your name..." except that one guy...

With a 2 drink minimum. EASY INDEED. What a freaking WIN WIN right?! Heck yeah!! I walked around to get a feel of the place. Totally a first date, group hangout vibe indeed!! Darts, juke box, live gaming and they have a live band on Tuesdays! Come on people! What's not to love!!?? I saw a menu with finger bites if you are hungry in between shots. And they have nice drink specials to keep your pallet wet...and after a while your pool stick wobbling. Lol I think it's a dope deal to buy drinks and play free pool.
