Fairly nondescript bar. It's one of the local hangouts in Crystal Lake. Matt's Tavern doesn't have…read moremuch. Among the things it does have is lots of good ass drinks. The prices are good especially on shots. Came in for a capper. It was getting late but we needed a few. There was a good special on shots. It was $3 for certain ones. We got a few of these. BSB was a whiskey I never had. Turns out it was good shit. Knocked a few back. The bar got a crowd but it wasn't too busy on a night. Good place to get some cheap booze. It's a popular place for locals to hang out. The selection is kind of limited but makes up for good prices.

Parking can be a bit tough if you are not familiar with the area. Matt's is a dive bar vibe with enough TV's to keep you entertained by the game. Worn but kept pretty clean!! No kitchen . Only a couple of gambling machines. The patrons were mixed between locals and people waiting for the train across the street- everyone was friendly. Kelly O the bartender did a fantastic job. The big win that impressed me was a big crowd came in and the owner jumped in and helped unlike most places where they let the bartender drown and the customers suffer. Great job Matt's and Kelly O

I came back again with a group to play bingo and watch college football. I have to say this place…read morewas crazy busy. It was so much fun. The bingo caller was great and the bbq wings I had were so good! I mean, it's a bowling alley with decent food. What more could you ask for? When I was searching for a bowling ball I found these really fun, cartoon character ones that were perfect for anybody who wants to relive their cartoon days. I love the fact that most every lane was taken, and everybody was having a great time. For those of you that like to play pool, there's pool tables too. I'm so glad I came back and had just as much fun this time as I did the last. It's a great place to come on a cold winter day... something to do to keep everybody entertained.

Went back to talk with her about the difference in price. She became very rude said something like, " I don't have time for you and proceeded to wait on someone else. At one point she came to our table, and I ask for the manager. The manager finally came to the table. In a very rude tone, he replied We can talk about this after bingo and walked away. Final outcome the rude server ask for our receipt, which I told her I want it back. She came back with the adjusted price and a refund, if anyone is going to this place I would check you receipt vs the menu price. Never going back and I will let other people know how rude they were.
