    This is exactly the bar that PR needed. It's a cute little cocktail lounge. Great ambiance. A small number of tables and lots of bar seating make it the perfect spot for pre or post dinner drinks. It's intimate for a date night. I've walked by several evenings and there's always a little buzz here. The cocktails were great. The staff were on top of everything... making drinks and keeping tables cleared. Definitely one to try in PR.

    WOW I cannot believe a place like this finally opened in Park Ridge. The bar is tiny, but the ambiance is great. It's perfectly decorated to fit the moody speakeasy vibe with nods to the Chicago gangsters who set up the original gin joints during prohibition. While we don't have to hide in a basement with a password Park Ridge was never known for its acceptance of locations that served more alcohol than food. The cocktail list is nicely curated and the drinks are well executed. Service was really good, and the bartenders were all friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a cool spot for cocktails in the Edison Park or Park Ridge area check out the Pines Room!

    Our bill, showing no compensation for throwing water on the both of us. Even though we're soaking wet, we still had to pay.

    So, we stopped by Pines Room on the recommendation of the bartender at Holt's. It was later on Saturday afternoon that we stopped by Holt's, the bartender was telling us Pines Room opens at 4 PM. So we settled up our bill and headed over next-door based, on his recommendation. It's a small place inside and the ambience is a local small town vibe. There were only three other people in the place when we arrived. The bartender was busy with something, he greeted us, gave us two menus, and we asked for two glasses of water, and almost immediately after he poured the two glasses he spilled it on me in my partner.So, pretty much I had a full glass of water on the bottom, half of my polo and on my slacks. He cleaned the water off the bar area, and asked me if I needed a towel for my pants. I got the impression that this was something I did to myself ,not that he did it to me. Both of us have wet slacks, and shirts. We should have left immediately after this incident. However, we felt that he would make it right, by offering us a free cocktail, on-the-house, for getting us soaking wet. And of course, that was a big no! See the bill I posted. This is how you treat paying customers? As you can see from the bill, it's not cheap to drink there. We felt like we were at a family member's house and their kids spilled a drink on us and we just have to suck it up and move on because kids are kids. I get that concept, however we were at a business, not a family member's house. So, I must say that's it for us. We will never be back. We are going to take our money elsewhere. So, that should provide all y'all with plenty of room to pay the high prices and enjoy the terrible service.

    My friends and I stumbled upon this place when we were looking for a bar to go to in Park Ridge. I wouldn't have expected to find a place like this so outside the city! It's somewhat hard to find because it has a misleading sign on top, but I think that adds to the speakeasy vibes of the place. The ambiance is absolutely stunning and the bar area is beautiful. Once you get seated, you kind of have to call the bartender over to order because there aren't any traditional servers, but we didn't mind at all. The menu itself is very small with just a few cocktails and a few dishes. The cocktails we got were First World, Jamiacan Old Fashioned, and Tiramisu Martini. The maraschino was a little too strong in the First World cocktail but the Old Fashioned was great! My favorite was the Tiramisu. It tasted like a dessert-y espresso martini and if I went again, I would get that first! We also ordered the onions strings and spicy gnocchi. They weren't lying about the strings part of the onions. They were super thin and crunchy and fun to eat. The sauce paired well, too! The gnocchi had a strong flavor but didn't love how big the actual gnocchi was. It also got very salty toward the end but overall good. This is definitely a hidden gem in the suburbs of Chicago. It can get busy so get there early if you want a spot!

    I'm only doing three stars because of the room in the place and the hours & we received a drink, and the glass was had a crack going down and the bartender just poured it into another cop instead of remaking it. very nice place has a speakeasy. Feel bartenders and servers have really cute aprons. I feel the vibe menu is good. Drinks are decent. definitely is a bar where the parents can get away from their kids and unwind for a little bit locally in the neighborhood.

    Very tiny but nice ambiance. Small selection of snacks available to order. Delicious cocktails with great service.

It's very peaceful, romantic and a calm atmosphere. All of the food was delicious. The plating is so attractive! The dishes have great flavor but are healthier options. The portion sizes were perfect for what we desired. I'm not exaggerating when I say this was the best branzino I've ever had. The skin was crunchy and delicious. But the fish was not dry at all! There's nothing better than a juicy branzino fish and chef Jose nailed it! Matching with the sauce and beans was so much better than any other veggies or starch. The octopus was also cooked to perfection. The flavor and temperature was just right. Not too hot and such a great texture. We don't always order desserts but we had to see every course of the menu. We decided to go with a lava cake and it did not disappoint. It had that perfect contrast of hot and cold but it's served with gelato which gives it a nice touch of texture compared to standard ice cream. Chef Jose came out and introduced himself. We came in because we were enticed by a beef tartare that was on their menu in the past. We're hoping he brings it back on a special sometime soon. He said to give him a call and he'll try to accommodate whenever possible to make his customers happy. What an amazing restaurant. We cannot wait to come back and see what's new. Thank you for an amazing dinner and night!

The vibe here definitely meets a park ridge niche that nothing else does - intimate but elevated, a great date night place. Excellent cocktails and decent portions. Tuna tower was a fun app and we ordered lamb chops and a pasta for our mains. My only wish is that they had a slightly larger menu. I hope they add to it or do seasonal offerings because the selection is not too large and we pretty much maxed out what we'd be interested in trying in one visit. But they did it well and we enjoyed the Valentine's Day touched around the restaurant!

    This was our first time here, and we came to celebrate a birthday. We had noted it in the…read morereservation and also had a conversation about it with our server. We were a little surprised when nothing was done for it, which isn't a big deal, but I'll be honest it was disappointing since we did come specifically to celebrate and had talked about it w our server. 3/5 Arancini - Very salty. None of us really enjoyed them because of that. They also came out lukewarm instead of hot. Would have been excellent if it was less salty and came out hot and crispy. 5/5 Fig & Mushroom (subbed for prosciutto) - The menu doesn't specify how the fig is served. Turned out to be fig jam rather than fresh fig, which wasn't what we expected. A little too sweet for me but overall still very much enjoyed it. Their pizza was cooked perfectly with enough toppings and cheese. Very good pizza! 5/5 Braised Short Rib + Polenta - so good! The short rib was excellent, just slightly salty. The polenta was perfect, and it came with a generous portion of wild mushrooms. 2/5 White Wine Cake (recommended as "unique") by our server - This was the most disappointing meal item. Our waitress told us it was special, but it was very bland and didn't match the description or image on their website. Their website showed a cake with a large scoop of ice cream on top, fair amount of whipped cream and raspberry sauce. Ours came with maybe a quarter of the size of that ice cream scoop, a little teaspoon dollop of whipped cream that you eat in one bite and the raspberry sauce was a tiny smear on bottom for decor but there wasn't enough to actually eat it. The cake itself was moist but lacked flavor. It took a really long time to come out, we thought perhaps they forgot, then forgetting we were celebrating a birthday on top of that was disappointing. Atmosphere - Beautiful space, very well done. The only issue is how close the tables are, you can't pull your chair back without hitting someone, and getting to the bathroom requires asking others to move because of how tight the layout is. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would return. While there were a few dishes we wouldn't order again, and others we would. Would love to try the wild mushroom pizza next time! The only thing was that since we had come to celebrate a birthday and didn't end up doing that, the night felt a little less special than we had expected--but still a nice experience overall.

They have an extensive beverage program here, including mocktails, and that's what I settled on. I got one called Strawberry-Basil something, and it was so good. The strawberry-basil shrub was a key ingredient, and I don't get to a lot of places that use a shrub in their drinks. There was definitely a STRONG vinegar taste but for me, that was great. I also ordered a pasta dish, orecchiette and sausage with peas and a sweet, creamy sauce. Orecchiette and sausage are such a classic combo and I hadn't had this sauce before; it was a pleasant dish and was perfectly al dente. Service was good for the bar area. There's parking around, both in the lot right outside and the public parking lot below. And then of course there's the lots by the library and whatnot, so you should be able to find something.

He was obviously very very drunk to a point where he could barely walk wo/stumbling. He was slurring his words. Both my sister & I asked the bartender not to serve him anymore alcohol but she kept serving him drinks even after we asked. She continued to serve him even after we asked her not to.
