What a great little neighborhood brewery! From the outside, this would pass as a dive bar but…read moreactually offers so much more! The inside is cozy with a large bar and tables to sit at. They have board games, darts, touchtunes, and more for entertainment. They had 9 of their own beers in tap as well as some guest beers. They also house fuse malort with flavors (11 to try)! My two friends got a beer and I got a whiskey/ginger ale. Pricing was very fair and pours were a good size. Both of my friends enjoyed their beers and I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Check out Lunar Brewing when in the area!

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.

Ok ... so we had some time before our flights out of O'Hare and wanted a "local" burger joint …read more.. searching Yelp, the Landing Strip came up highly ranked ... let's be honest ... it's a bar with a kitchen - maybe even a dive bar with a kitchen (any place with g-strings hanging from the ceiling should be classified "dive" in my book). When we pulled in their were more motorcycles than cars - so a "biker dive bar" is even more appropriate. Anyway - the bartender/waitress was amazing - great personality, on top of her game and assessed the old couples as not normal clientele - but happy to serve. Food was great - we got some burgers some fries and beer. Better than anything in the airport - and much more entertaining. I'll be back ... but probably not with wives (the restrooms were a bit rough).

We were in town recently and decided to check out R Place after it changed ownership (formerly…read moreChances R). Upon arrival, we were greeted by a security guard at the door--no issues there. A woman seated near the entrance informed us there was a $10 cover charge for males. My friend and I paid, while our wives were allowed in for free. Not even ten feet inside, the same security guard stopped us and said the cover was actually $20 per person. I pushed back on this, and he ultimately let it go. Once inside, we realized we were the only customers in the entire bar. The music was extremely loud--so loud that we couldn't hear each other speak--but we ordered drinks anyway. My wife later approached the security guard to ask about the inconsistent cover charge, given that the bar was completely empty. When my friend's wife went over to join her, another security guard intervened and told them they needed to relax and that they were not allowed to touch each other, even though they were simply holding hands. After witnessing this interaction, we stood up and approached the security guards to understand what the issue was. Unfortunately, the response we received was rude and disrespectful, especially toward paying customers. To avoid further confrontation, we chose to leave. Based on this experience, we will not be returning to R Place.

If you're looking for a chill "hole in the wall" to go for drinks after work, this is the place to go. You don't have to deal with the creepy drunk people, the A-holes like you see at the clubs in the city, or the crazy sports fans. Busy for them is like 20-30 people. Some people here think the husband is cranky. But I'll tell you from personal experience with him, he is a man who values respect. If you're respectful of him, he'll be a great person to chat with. If you're not, don't expect him to kiss your a**. Every time I go in, I can expect to have a random 2 hour conversation with him; it's awesome! The wife is super nice, though I've only met her once. When I'm looking for a quiet place to relax with a few friends after a long day at work, this is the place I go. The prices are reasonable. They don't serve food (other than popcorn). They have a digital jukebox on the wall, and a row of several digital slot machines and three TVs that are all tuned to the same channel. You can request they change the channel but it changes it for all the TVs. This place is not everyone's cup o Java but if you like chill bars, and locally owned businesses, try it out! I absolutely recommend this place!
