We highly recommend you dying here we try to leave lots of photos and videos of what we order.

The venue is an older building and can use an update, but every time I am here, the service and the food is consistently fresh and tasty. Surprisingly good dishes beyond the normal bar fare too. On our last visit on a Friday night, our server Kevin was friendly and helpful in offering menu suggestions and letting us know about specials. We ordered pizza, wings and sliders off of the Happy Hour Bar Menu. For four drinks (two were non-alcoholic) and several apps, our bill was under $60. Not bad at all and we even had extra food to take home. For events, Amy here often goes above and beyond to ensure a great customer experience. The parking lot gets filled here fast on a busy bowling night, but in all, Bar Down is a fun, local place to hang out and watch a sporting event.

Everything was great! I love the fish. It always comes out hot and crispy. Love it! My wife always gets the appetizer portion of the chicken fingers. It doesn't come with any sides but it's more than enough for her. She always brings some home. Our server was Cara. She was awesome! As soon as we were seated, she was there with menus and taking our drink order. She was fast getting our drinks and our food came out very fast and it was hot and crispy. We love the Village Tavern and we stopped in whenever we're in the area. Great Place!

This was my first time at VTG and they seemed to have specials on every day of the week (food and…read moredrinks). This day (Saturday) happened to be a discount on their "World Famous" BBQ ribs. Honestly..these could make an argument for being "World Famous." Although their BBQ sauce is slightly on the sweeter side, it is still quite tasty and the meat falls right off the bone. Others at my table that I shared them with seemed to have a very positive reaction to them as well. Our server was super friendly and he did a good job stopping by on us to make sure our dining experience was overall going well. It's your classic sports bar type of restaurant where they keep the tv volume down pretty low. This leaves room for a more casual dining experience (at least this was the case when I went). Thanks VTG for an overall solid dining experience and I will definitely be back for those ribs!

So even if you like to sleep in you can still enjoy breakfast for lunch. We always prefer to support local family owned businesses over corporate options. The Chicago Loop Sports Bar is a fun entertaining establishment that you really want to stay in business for years to come! Everytime we come here we see someone we know and all the food has been delicious too. They have booth seating to the left of the entrance and larger tables to the right. They also have tall tables and a stage and lots of TV's. The waitresses / bartenders are the nicest people! I love that they have food specials and they change weekly. They even have a Turkey dinner (Holiday Dinner) and a Bourbon Pecan Pie option for dessert. So there is no reason why you cannot celebrate Thanksgiving this year! Make sure you check their website often for the entertainment schedule. They have karaoke, singo (bingo using songs) and bands. They have a jukebox, dart games, and more. It is a family friendly establishment.

I tipped extra for this. They refilled my glass when empty. I did not eat anything. But I did notice a lot of people came in for food. The people at the bar came and ordered food right away, not after they had been drinking and didn't really notice how the food tasted. I will be making this my regular bar. I forgot how much I really like a neighborhood bar.

Always good food, and the service was excellent!!! Very accommodating. Just this past week we tried the Barrlet location, early dinner. What a culture shock, the restaurant had tables filled with lunch dishes, floor was dirty, we waited for over 5 minutes for someone to seat us, and another 15 til we saw a server! Being it was happy hour, I ordered a Mai Tai, didn't taste and rum or any alcohol, tasted like punch, not even any garnish, like a half orange slice, pineapple or cherry -- NOTHING! The server asked "how was that cocktail, I told him terrible! He said it was all pre-made in a jug, so getting another wouldn't matter, ha! He never offered anything else. Ordered spinach artichoke dip, it was served with multicolored tortilla chips ‍ My husband ordered a 10" stuffed sausage pizza called "The Chicago Sausage Deep Dish" - crust was over cooked and the tomato topping was very acidic! Never to be mistaken for Gino's East or Lou Malnati's .. Forget my meal, not worth the effort of explaining. Note to self : because it's named the same - means nothing! Schaumburg location still reigns supreme!
