In the realm of dive bars this place is one of the more well kept that I have been to. It is a…read morevery small place but the make really good use of the small place to fit as many patrons as they can in the joint. The beers are cheap which is a definite plus. The bartenders are fast and friendly and the crowd is a lot of fun. this is located in a stretch where there are simply dozens of tiny bars to choose from. They have won me over as a future customer. They have pool, darts and your typical bar type attractions.

We were having dinner in the Oak Brook area and came across the Polo Lounge on Yelp, so we decided…read moreto drop in for a cocktail. There was an event going on and the lobby was crowded. No matter, although it did sort of take away from the intimate vibe that it could have been. The bar is beautifully designed and even with the tumult of so many people moving around, it lost little of its draw. I saw that the bartender had to look up the recipe for our cocktails, but they came out fine. All in all it was a pleasant experience.

A lovely bar to hang out for a sports game or just to get away! 5/5 Overall: 15/15

I also take advantage and make sure to have dinner here before the show because they have amazing food. Our server last night was awesome! She was super nice and trying her beat considering she had a lot of tables plus taking care of the band. My favorite food is their Bayou Pasta its seriously so delicious and also got a chance to try their Chicken Chile Relleno and Chicken Gumbo and both are really yummy. Definitely coming back again and again. Happy eating and Parting!

I was asked once while reviewing another place how I could possibly dislike it , then challenged me…read moreto name another place that was better than his. FOUND IT !!!!!! I just walked in one day and I don't even live in the area. I was greeted by the co-owner and wife. She was so friendly and attentive. I found out the owner was a Vet and immediately I felt a kinship because Im one also. The atmosphere was so calm when I was there and the decorative aspects were better than most bars that you find in north Chicago. Did I mention the bloody mary station? You get the bloody mary ( or bloody maria) , then go soft or hard with the garnish. Imagine every combination you want and It's there. Love this place.

Recently I've enjoyed a couple of Friday evenings at Blue Tone Sports and Slots Lounge with friends enjoying a Live Band (that was AWESOME) in the house one Friday and The Comedy Blues set this Friday! Hilarious show, it was really a good time! The atmosphere is chill. There was a nice spread that was complimentary. Blue Tone really knows how to roll out the red carpet! Drinks were delicious. I had a slushy kind of sweet drink that was phenomenal. The proprietors are friendly and stayed on their feet mingling with crowd to make sure everyone was having a good time. Shout outs to the staff at Blue Tone-- Darrell & Mgr. Tiff -- they were at every table throughout night, checking to make sure customers were well taken care of. It was a nice size crowd on this evening, as was a relaxed atmosphere of simply adult chill. Blue Tone should be on your radar!!

Ghetto, Ghetto!! Ghetto!! Me and my 4 friends went to Ravens place after seeing an advertisement on…read moreFacebook. According to the ad the time was 4-10. We got there at 5 to locked doors. The tv and lights were in but no one in sight. We called, there was no answer. More people started coming, they finally opened the doors around 5:30ish. We had to go through a TSA security style pat down, id check, and purse search. At this point I'm wondering what clientele are they used to where a patron has to be subjected to such a violation. All we wanted were some drinks and appetizers. Once we get passed security check, there was no hostess to tell us where to go since ALL the seats were marked "Reserved" so we go to the upstairs bar, same thing ALL the seats were "Reserved". Now our frustration is beginning to turn into a " oh hell naw" moment. We ask the bartender who was a lovely lady what's the protocol. She said all seating was bottle service only and everyone else had to stand up. We asked how much, she didn't know. Someone finally came back and said... drumroll... $600-$700 a bottle. Get the heck out of here with that b.s.!!! Why on earth would anyone who's not a drug dealer pay $600/$700 a bottle for a something that retails $35. I try so hard to support black owned businesses but crap like this is why I take my business out of the community. Poor customer service, false advertising, unorganized, and bad attitudes. I understand the pandemic has the restaurant business cash strapped but to take advantage of patrons with some fake bougee crap is a stretch. We ended up at Bourbon St in Marionette Park where we paid $80 for a 5 drinks and 4 appetizers. I really wanted to give my people my money but after that poor PR stunt me and my friends won't be going back ever.

I was looking for something different and seems…read morelike most people on YELP like this place, so I picked this place out and thought I would give it a try. Best terms I would use is intimate, cozy and clean. There are about six tables and a small bar. Bar itself is mostly dark wood. There are four TV screens and a small gaming room. Bartender kept us supplied with cold beers. Beers were a good deal too, 5 bottles for 10 bucks. My friends and I enjoyed watching the game here, the place was kind of empty so it was easy to carry on a conversation. Bartender brought out some complimentary chips and salsa, I loved it and the salsa had a nice kick. Bathroom? That had to be one of the cleanest cans I ever received myself in. Didn't have a chance to try any of the edibles, pizza prepared for someone else look good. I will definitely have to come back, may next Sunday for the Playoffs.

exactly as I expected, gilt bar was phenomenal - the beef…read moretartare was the best I've ever had, it was so filled with flavor, every bite tasted like a beef salad. the egg was jammy and delicious adding a new layer of richness to the meal. the bread it came with was FRESH, hard crispy crust surrounding thick cuts of spongey bread - the truffle malfadine was perfectly cooked long chewy noodles with the perfect amount of a truffle pepper sauce over them. certain bites had full peppercorns, breaking through the slight creaminess. - I had high hopes for the burger and was picturing a bougie restaurant thick cut juicy burger. it was fascinating because it had the same juicy soft flavor, but it was more of a Smashburger style so you had a little bit of crisp on the outside and instead of a thick singular patty, it was two on top of each other. the fries were solid (not very salty which was divisive) but the aioli elevated the fries and burger to a new level, huge points - Guinness here is so cheap. my dirty martini was dirty as all hell and delicious. the service was so kind and attentive and brought out extra ice cream with hot fudge for my birthday. the carrot cake was incredibly moist and tasted like real carrots, nuts, and spices, not enough frosting for me tho hehe - this is literally such a stunning restaurant with a photo booth and a downstairs sultry bar, and an open standing space around the bar upstairs. I get why it is always booked. If I was to come back, I would do it all again except ...maybe instead of the burger... try something else hmm
