Overall the drinks were unique and fair priced to the quality and to other establishments in the neighborhood. Since it was early in the evening, the bar was a little bit quiet. As we were finishing our drinks, the staff informed us of the basement lounge seating. When we headed down, we were pleasantly surprised by the moody speakeasy feel and could see ourselves coming back on another day to relax in that space. Thank you to Foxy's Hideaway for opening and offering another great cocktail option in the neighborhood!!

The entire place was beautifully design and played into the concept well. I ordered the Fox River which was spirit forward, smooth, and subtly sweet. My husband ordered the Gin Blossom which was frothy, bright, and balanced. The drinks both tasted good and were presented well. This was definitely a favorite spot of mine and I'd certainly come back!

I've been here a few times with the guys and each time we love it. We've had the back room, with a big screen TV, all to ourselves and we've also posted up on the balcony.

I have yet to have a cocktail here that didn't wonderfully wet my whistle. And the same high remarks go for the staff, who are always welcoming and accommodating. I dare you not to become a fan of TDS upon your first visit! Will I be back again? Absolutely!

The food itself is absolutely INCREDIBLE and as someone for who ambiance matters a lot, both indoors and outside on the patio make for a great dining experience. HOWEVER, what made us come back so soon was the service! Both days we had visits from the owners at the table, and the waitstaff is above and beyond. When my husband mentioned this spicy sauce on his crostata, the waiter without hesitation bragged about how it was house made and brought him a small sample to take home. So excited to make this a regular spot for us!

It was a nice night, so we sat outside. Their outside has some beach chairs in one area and some covered seating in another. We sat kinda in between off to the side and it was nice. Nothing too fancy, but also didn't feel like lawn chairs at a friend's either. Food was good, but couldn't bring myself to giving more than 4 stars. It was tasty, but could have been better. My fiend ordered the fennel and sausage wood fired pizza and thought it was good but didn't rave about it (see photo). He did like the flavor of the crust, which from past experiences I remember, If you like mushrooms, definitely try their wild mushroom pizza. They are made for one person, unless you want to share for something lighter. I had the Wood-fired Hanger Steak (see photo). Looking at it, it looked sad. The steak was flavorful but a little tough in parts. But if you compare my photo to what's on their website, you will see a noticeable difference. The description matches what I received, but come on people. Throw some ]thing colorful on the plate - would have preferred the website food, though I think it's the wrong photo based on description. LOL Our server was kind, friendly and attentive. Another gentleman popped in once and awhile to ensure everything was going well. Very friendly. We will be back, but not sure I'll order the steak again.

The yellow salsa was a pineapple base, then your basic red and green. Chips were fresh and crisp. My husband ordered three tacos: brisket taco, steak taco and a babacoa taco.

The black beans were flavorless.

Good thing to know it's also like that inside. The main thing is the cheap booze, along with the occasional live music. Basic looking locally owned bar. It's almost like pulling into someone's driveway, with the gravel parking lot and the garage behind it. The bar doesn't look like it has much room inside, but it's bigger than it looks. A lot of basic beers mostly in bottles and cans. Of course there's a few craft beers like Goose Island. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey with whatever. As far as food, nothing really to be honest. It's got $1 bags of nuts. Also you can even buy cigarettes. There's also candy, gum, and that kind of stuff. Has a pretty chill atmosphere. It's mostly just a few locals in here. The place gets more fun on weekends.

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.

The bartender and server who greeted us was really friendly and let us sit in the "VIP" section, which is a raised area near the back with more sofas. The couches in the general area were all filled. There's a bar and a few high tops by the bar as well. They have a huge selection of martinis with decent prices. I'd love to come back to try more, especially the dessert ones. They also have live music on Friday nights, and luckily we got there just in time before they started. Tonight was a jazz band and they were great!

I heard they have a special during the week too so definitely check them out. I tried a the strawberry shortcake/cheesecake which I did enjoy. The banana foster wasn't exactly what I expected a little artificial. The starburst and jolly rancher martinis were good. Overall a great place to stop by for drinks in downtown Elgin!

We had to speak up and ask where our food was and magically it came out less than 10 minutes later--Claimed it was bc they were busy but nearly everyone in the restaurant had their food already and not every table was even occupied. Apparently we ordered the SMASH burger, hold the Smash. They were super thick, definitely NOT a smash burger. I didn't tell them well done because, well, a smash burger is always well done because it is THIN. It was so undercooked I couldn't even eat it. My son's was worse than mine but he ate it anyway since he had a game to get to. Server didn't bother to offer any compensation for any of it. So I waited an hour and a half for food that was inedible.

It now feels brighter and a little more lively. They've also moved the customer service desk and it's no longer hidden by slot machines, but it is weirdly placed behind the elevator. I don't think there was anything in this space previously. I wish there were better food options here - the fast casual option is just ok.. I honestly would not pay to eat here again, the prices do not justify, especially after gambling for a few hours. The slots have drastically improved in the last few months, way more of the new machines instead of those poor slots that were on their last leg. There are the occasional machines that have a sticky button or a chair that has seen better days, but overall, I think this place is on an upwards swing.
