Bingo night was fun. They had fun interesting prizes for each game as well as a raffle at the end for $100.

We remembered Bat 17 from previous visits and had really liked it. Since then, it relocated down the street. New location is fine. A bit more sterile. We sat in the side room, hoping for sound. No sound on their tvs so that's a bummer when you actually care about the game. Maybe it was like that before, too? The food is still good. We split the Roadhouse Chicken sandwich and, as before, they let us each choose our own side. Appreciate that. Our server was very friendly when she came around, but there were times we were waiting to be checked on, etc. We also had a weird interaction with the bus boy. The other bummer is that they used to have tons of beers on tap. Now just 4. I'd say the food is still good but other factors made this a miss for me.

They will deliver food over here because there's not a kitchen. Inside here there's lots of seating areas. They have the bar area, a few tables, and a patio. A lot of variety in the beers. It's about $7 a pint. Best one of these we had was the Chalk Eater. This is a classic IPA. So many more to choose. There's also lagers. For sure it's one of the best places around here to get beers. It's open daily which is excellent because you can always go. They're located on Lake east of Waukegan.

Our experience has always been delightful and we love supporting a local establishment, but, this evening i was treated so poorly by one of their bartenders, Im seriously reconsidering my former opinion. My friend and I originally sat on the patio, i took advantage of a great happy hour deal and ordered a flight of margaritas. One of the drinks was a spicy margarita and it had yummy tahini salt on the rim of the glass. Eventually, the bees on the patio drover us inside where we sat at the bar to finish our drinks. The bartender didn't seem too thrilled to have us there, which was odd because, at the time, the place had only 4 other customers sitting inside. The bartender never approached us, or acknowledged us in any way. i finished my drinks and wanted another spicy margarita. Since the bartender obviously didn't want to wait on us, I ordered it from our original server. The restaurant still wasn't busy but it took 15 minutes to get my margarita. when it finally arrived, it had no salt on the rim, but my server scurried away so quickly, i didnt have a chance to ask her about it. It took me another 10 minutes to get the bartender's attention, and when I asked, "Isn't there supposed to be salt on the rim?" She rudely informed me, "No, only if you ask for it'" I told her that nobody had asked me if I wanted salt on the rim earlier, and it just came that way so I assumed they were all prepared the same way, she literally turned her back on me and slammed the container of rim salt onto the bar. When I said, "wow! Whats that about?" She yelled at me and said I didn't know how to make a request and i needed to change my tone. I was a server for many years, so I know how stressful food service can be, but, if I ever spoke to a customer the way I was spoken to this evening, I would have been dismissed on the spot. i am a standard 25% tipper, and I do not expect preferential treatment, nor do I think the 'customer is always right', but, I do assume Ill be treated with common courtesy when I decide to spend my $$ at a restaurant. I will no longer be doing that at RPublic.

I live nearby, and have been going to Bluestone for 10 months. Each and every time I would go--the…read moreservice just gets worse, Worse, WORSE...to the point of completely unacceptable (today). I sat at the bar, did not get so much as an icewater, let alone any eye contact, or even any acknowledgement that I have a pulse; I am at your bar; and at some point in time, down the line--I actually might want a MENU--which I had to personally ask for--over 20 minutes after seating myself. There were four workers on their staff, behind the bar. They did not seem to be doing much (of anything). I had to personally ask for my water refill, each and every time. The service is so completely slow and incompetent, I had to cancel an order and leave--it took so long, and I was having diabetes problems--still, however, for the price they try to charge for their drinks on tap, and the price they try to charge for their overrated (at best) food; the "bar talent" and/or professionalism/efficiency of their staff, from top to bottom--is considerably lacking. My experience at Bluestone is worse, Worse, WORSE--each and every following time I make the (poor) decision to go. I really wish Central and Prairie had other bars, with better culture, better professionals, and better "bar talent"--because a place like Bluestone would be GONE in FIVE MONTHS. As I checked out today, one of the bartenders, a young African-American male--made it a point--to tell me "he was giving me a great deal on my tab; half price off my second beer." There is a problem, though--I only ordered, and drank, one beer. He was clearly embarrassed (as he should be), when I explained this to him, and then he 1)stared me down, and 2) threatened me. That is a walking definition of U N P R O F E S S I O N A L. I will happily drive across the North Shore--than walk 200 yards to Bluestone. The food is decent. The beer on tap is solid...but the Glaring, overall lack of Bar Talent, along with the piss-poor and UNPROFESSIONAL service--I just...I can't...I can not, in good conscience--bring myself to ever go back there, again. I am 46 years old, and have worked in the restaurant/bar industry for 30 of them... It is "Amateur Hour" at Bluestone, every moment of every day. They do not even look at you (customers). Totally unaware, spaced-out, not-at-all focused...Not just (anybody) can be a decent bartender--it kind of helps to be somewhat "sharp", somewhat "alert", be somewhat cordial, friendly, or amiable...Nope! NONE of that, at Bluestone. What a waste--of perfectly-good real estate--in an otherwise beautiful part of Evanston. Bluestone is a STAIN on the Community.

There is even a rotating cask style. It has a well lit modern industrial feel. During the warmer seasons they have a medium sized beer garden in the back, but all year round dogs are welcomed inside. No kitchen but a bunch of neighborhood eateries deliver. Free spacious parking lot around the west side of the building and handicap accessible entrance and chairlift inside. Reservations for the taproom seating (if you plan on hosting a party) can easily be made on their website. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area, or into craft beer. Their hazy style Le Juz won gold a few years ago and is still a hard hitting classic. Shout out to my favorite bartender Charlie for always my family and me feel at home.

We were also able to stream a slideshow at no additional cost and play our teens' Spotify playlist, which added such a fun and personal touch to the event. The food was a huge hit--guests couldn't stop talking about the Detroit-style pizza, chopped salad, and chicken wings. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. A special shoutout to Steve, our bartender, who took excellent care of us throughout the event. His attentiveness and friendly service really elevated the entire experience.

There is outdoor seating under a pergola lined with semi-private planters, while the inside features a bar, high tops, low tops, and large booths. The music was upbeat, giving the space an elevated lounge vibe that pairs really well with the upholstered booths and vintage industrial design. I ordered the Wolf Burger, which is a whopping three-patty burger. That first bite was juicy and pure bliss--a total explosion of great flavors. It was a little messy (like all burgers with an egg), but the extra liquid was perfect for balancing the density of such a meaty burger. The soft bun soaked in a lot of those juices with each bite, intensifying the flavor as I ate more. The fries were thin and on the greasier side--not my personal favorite, but they worked alright as a vehicle for the sauce. Speaking of which, the chili aioli served with the fries was fantastic. We also got the mac and cheese, which hit a great balance between rich and creamy without feeling excessively wet. The boat it came in was a bit small, making it a little messy to scoop out with the serving spoon, but it was soooo good. Overall, it is absolutely a fantastic neighborhood place for comfort food and drinks with friends in a great space!
