It's your typical sports bar, plenty of TV's and a scrolling electronic banner with scores, which is pretty cool Prices seem good and service was OK, nothing bad, but nothing special. Could be a little more engaging and friendly. Typical for this kind of place. I believe they also host karaoke, but don't have the details. Might come back some time for some food and update my review.

Pretty riverside location, outstanding service, really delicious bar food on steroids. Went on a…read morepleasant Thursday evening and was able to catch the last table outside. Tried two of their monthly food specials and both were delicious. A batch of perfectly grilled wings (with a garlic parmesan sauce), and the Tod Wilkinson burger, an Italian sausage/ground beef combo patty topped with delicious Italian beef named after the Steve Martin Character in My Blue Heaven, lol...yum freaking yum. For an appetizer had an order of their homemade chips topped with cheese, bacon and chives...outstanding. Stephanie, the sole waitress working the whole patio, didn't miss a beat and brought everything out perfectly timed and piping hot (or cold, their beer of courses...my Guinness). Will be back! A lovely hidden gem a long a quiet stretch of the Fox.

Checked out this pretty fun sports bar in Hoffman Estates. It conveniently is located next to a…read morebowling alley and in fact one can walk right into there without going outside. Bar Down is otherwise in an unassuming location. Great place for watching games. The fathers can take their kids to go bowling and they can hang out in here pretending to be parenting and things. Bigger than the average bar. It's located next to Poplar Creek Bowling and there's a passageway between these. There's supposed to be no alcohol consumption over by the lanes but whatever. Has lots of great specials going on. It's got U Call It at happy hour, which is basically like choosing whatever liquor one wants. Has a few more great specials on food. It's $5 to get Pretzel Bites at happy hour. The rest of the menu has nachos and other things. Also they can host banquets. They have catering if having large groups or parties. For sure it's a place to hang out and have fun. It's located in the strip mall on Higgins. There's lots of great specials.

I love a good dive bar but Eaton's has probably been the weirdest dive bar I have ever been to…read more After getting carded, the bartender made it very clear that they only accept cash, how old school! But I didn't care, cash is all I had. I have been to some seedy bars but Eaton's was straight up scary! I was afraid to touch anything in fear I may leave with a disease. Décor: The set up was super simple, mainly made up of a colossal bar that took up most of the place. There were some booths and couple of tables along the walls, but that was about it. The walls are made up of wood paneling and exposed brick, while the ceiling was made up of some antique moldings. There are only 2 restrooms, 1 men's and 1 women's, that don't have paper towels. They have that revolving towel in the machine that just rotates the same sheet over and over, nastiness. There is a pool table stuffed in one of the corners of the bar along with a couple of slot machine-like arcade games, very fitting for the casino town. The Crowd: Like any dive bar it doesn't exactly attract many posh patrons which is why I like them! If I wanted to hang out with preppy brosef's I would go to a club. Service: A-ok, not too welcoming when you first enter but after they card you & order a couple of drinks they seem to warm up a little. Liquid Courage On Tap: Bud, Bud Lite, PBR Originally I was going to order something in a can or a bottle, just to protect myself from any herpe that may be floating around waiting to infect me, but when Berto noticed they had mason jars we were drawn in. 24oz Baller mason jar of Bud for $4.50? I'll take my chances against the herpe! I think it's safe, I'm pretty sure alcohol sanitizes anyway. Right? Eats: I'm not gonna lie, I could have munched on some bar food but the looks of this fine establishment terrified me. I'm sure if you even ordered food they would have a hard time starting up the grill because it didn't seem like the sorta place you have dinner and a few drinks. They have a corn dog machine that looked like it hadn't been turned on in years. Eaton's offers a variety of bagged chips and nuts. There are also 2 liquor store like fridges filled with pop. I have to mention the pickled mystery items in the life-size cloudy jar on the bar. It was very Moe's Tavern. Sounds: Other than the drunken banter of the regulars it was karaoke night. I am always up for karaoke! I did notice the line was fairly large but I put in my request anyway. I have to give props to the KJ, he didn't waste time with filler, he got everyone up n' out and before I knew it it was my turn! Parking: It's downtown Elgin, so all street parking. Overall: Eaton's, you really freaked me out at first glance but after getting to know you I think we may have something here. I will keep a mental note to always bring cash and to eat before my outing in tackling another mason jar!

This is a dive bar with no pretense what so ever…read more This is your classic rectangle bar designed for efficiency. The bar tender can spy everyone at a glance and so can you! The building façade is probably intimidating for the squeamish. Eaton's has no problem with that, nor do I. Cheers!
