No matter what time I come here while it is usually during off hours, they are so friendly and hospitable and very quick on the service so absolutely no complaints This is truly a great neighborhood jam, and very lucky that it is in the downtown area as well. There is parking that is free. Just be sure to be on the lookout. I wish I was never so full from the entrées and appetizers that I could actually get to Dear one of these days so maybe that will be a future review.

​I usually stick to restaurants with a 4-star rating or higher, but I decided to take a chance on…read morethis spot because I was craving fish and chips--and I am so glad I did! ​They have a great variety of sides for the fish and chips, which is a plus because I don't eat too many fries. Instead of the standard fries, we opted for the coleslaw and mashed potatoes. Both were surprisingly delicious and well-prepared. As for the fish itself? Absolutely wonderful. It was perfectly flaky with a thin, crispy batter, adding just a little salt and pepper makes it perfect. ​We also tried the traditional Irish breakfast. Everything on the plate was very good. The boxty (fried potatoes) was a little oily for my personal taste, but the flavor was still very good. ​What really impressed us, was the service. It was truly exceptional. The vibe of the pub is incredibly friendly and peaceful, topped off with traditional pipe music playing in the background. ​I'll definitely be back again! Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic Irish atmosphere.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience here was unacceptable…read more After waiting over an hour for service, I politely indicated to the bartender, Ally, that I believed I was next in line. She had just served the guests on either side of me and appeared to intentionally skip over me. In response to my comment, she began yelling at me and refused to serve me. When I eventually did receive a drink, she continued to shout obscenities at me while I was attempting to close my tab. In an effort to de-escalate the situation, I initially left a generous tip. She looked at it, laughed in my face, and stated, "You think I care about your tip? I'm rich from bartending here." I requested a manager multiple times. When one finally came out, no effort was made to meaningfully address the behavior. The bartender continued to leave her station to yell at me, and management allowed it to happen. As I was leaving, I asked for the owner's contact information so I could report the incident. Instead, I was given a fake business card, told to "go f*** myself," informed that I was banned, and threatened by the doorman, who said he would "beat the s*** out of me." I have been a regular customer and have brought large groups here in the past. Based on this experience, I will not be returning. The conduct displayed by both staff and management reflects a culture that tolerates hostility toward paying customers. If ownership values accountability, they should review their security footage from that evening. The treatment I received speaks for itself.

Stopped at a Route 66 diner in Pontiac, IL for lunch, The Log Cabin. It was established in 1926…read moreand they are celebrating their 100th anniversary in May 2026. The Yelp reviews were mostly five stars, and it was touted to be a locals' favorite, so we decided to give it a try. We both chose the patty melt with a cup of vegetable soup. The soup sounded like an excellent choice on this cold cloudy day. The food, the service and the ambience were all wonderful. We finished off the meal sharing a slice of hot peach pie with vanilla bean ice cream. It was all fantastic.

Established (as the wall told me) in 1936, I expected "Polish" to be in menu alone...and I was wrong. The gal behind the bar had an accent. Halfway through the Bears game, I started hearing folks concerning and cheering in Polish. I felt like I had slipped into a cool little club to which I would never have otherwise been invited. Loud (but not too loud) and boisterous. I read some other reviews talking about rude regulars: rubbish. Chicago is loud and direct. If you don't like that vibe, the shoulders in this city may just be a little too broad for you. The pierogi and the pyzy were great, both served with sour cream. The beers, while not draft, had a wide, Euro-leaning selection but still respected some local favorites (Old Style). Good food. Good folks. Confusingly brilliant ambiance. You're missing out if you skip The Log Cabin.

Really cool place on a really charming street in downtown Hinsdale. We really enjoyed our evening…read moreout at Fuller last night. I think the service was also good. Our waitress checked on us numerous times and kept things going. The food is where I have to say, this place was OK. There are a lot of vegetarian options, so that is a great start for me and my crew. Pizza, black bean burgers, etc. I think the nachos were pretty decent. One main ingredient I'd say they were missing was beans, guac, or even salsa. I guess we could have asked for some, but we didn't. Then we had a hummus platter, which came with a bunch of dipping veggies and some pita bread. Nicely presented, and the hummus was fine. The margarita pizza was decent as well. Crispy and all. And finally, the black bean burger, which we substituted in for the El Diablo burger. It was fine. We didn't leave any room for dessert as all of the above was already a LOT. Again, overall fun times.

The Celebration of Life event was held in their private room and Harp and Fiddle did a most excellent job from my POV for about 100 folks.

Old Munich Tavern is a solid go-to for late-night food. The menu is mostly pub food and sandwiches,…read morebut it's a step above average bar fare. Everything we tried was good, satisfying, and exactly what you want late at night. The turkey club stood out--real turkey, not processed deli meat, which feels surprisingly rare these days. Overall, we liked the food and would especially recommend ordering takeout if you're craving dependable, higher-quality pub food after hours. Unfortunately, not having been in person, there is not much that we can say about the ambiance or staff, though they do accommodate substitutions on takeout, which is an indicator of good service.

After a particularly hard class my friend Dan and I would drown our sorrows in the Pub with shirley temples and philly cheesesteaks. Everyone sleeps on the food, it's so cheap and SOOOOO good and it always hits the spot. Perfect bar food, and I literally always get the fried pierogies and I've never looked back!!! Also 2 corn dogs for $5 is CRAZY (though according to my friend they've raised prices rip) but still yummy and hot!!!!! The staff and Victor are SO awesome and have been doing it for years!!!! Please show them lots of love!!!

As a young college graduate, I would have loved to return to my home town and find a bar I can comfortably rely on for a good time but this is FAR from it. If you like townie bars who belittle their customers, this is the bar for you. Apparently their "owner" feels the right to yell in paying patrons faces about how they drink their alcohol. They will also physically touch/alter your drink AFTER you have started to drink from it. Untrustworthy and unprofessional staff. Owner allows other patrons to attack other customers. Please save your breath and do not spend your money here.
