    Speakeasy

    This is my absolute favorite bar to go when I'm looking for a chill or fun night out. I have taken so many of my friends from out of town and they always talk about how much they love The Quarry. My 21st bday party was here and it was the best night ever. Between the pizza,wings, 1:1 bartender, speakeasy, and karaoke the night was a 20/10 experience. I couldn't recommend this place enough!!!

    **Review for The Hidden Pearl Bar** If you're looking for a hidden gem in Thornton, IL, look no further than The Quarry Thornton. Bar! This place is the perfect blend of laid-back dive bar charm with a touch of upscale vibes that makes it stand out from the crowd. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor strikes a perfect balance between cozy and chic, with dim lighting, eclectic artwork, and comfortable seating that encourages you to settle in and unwind. What truly sets The Hidden Pearl apart, though, is the staff. Every member of the team is incredibly friendly and kind, making you feel like a valued guest from the moment you arrive . The drink menu is impressive, featuring a variety of craft cocktails, local brews, and classic favorites. The food is tasty and tons of specials! Check out the private speakeasy downstairs! So freaking cool!!!!! They also have party packages

    I have been wanting to try this distillery ever since I saw a segment on them on one of the local…read moreTV stations. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon around lunch time. They have a few parking spaces in the front of the building with a larger lot in the rear. It was not too crowded and we were seated immediately. Our server Michaela was very friendly and suggested a few food items for my wife which were GF. I started with the House Old Fashion and my wife had the Bee's Knees. Both were very good and cost 10.00 each. For lunch I tried their Pecan Whiskey BBQ wings. 5 wings cost 10.00. They were good size and very tasty but I didn't taste any of the Pecan Whiskey flavor. My wife had the Barbacoa Tacos which were filled with braised beef. She could only eat 2 of them so I had the third taco. Flavorful but I would have preferred more salsa or a dipping sauce. I wanted to try their Drop Dead Bourbon separately so I had a small tasting. I loved it so much I bought a bottle to bring home. Cost was 60.00. The history of this distillery dates back to 1857 and is one of Illinois' oldest standing distillerys and was once Al Capones largest bootlegging facility during prohibition. I would love to go back and try a few more of their hand crafted cocktails and one of their signature burgers.

The building oozes historic charm going back to 1847. Our server and hostess were friendly and helpful. There is only a few spots to park in the front but a big parking lot in the back marked with a sign. It was lunchtime so we ordered wings and beef barbacoa tacos and both were very flavorful. The server suggested the tacos as they can be made gluten free. Besides the cocktails my husband asked to taste their straight bourbon called Dead Drop. He enjoyed it and bought a bottle to take home. I could feel the ghosts of bootleggers of the past haunting the place. Worth the drive to experience it.

The parking lot was actually full so we had to park on the side. They had security at the door to search you before entering. It's actually a pretty large open space, with seating, slot machines, a pool table, and a dance floor. The DJ was high energy and played to the crowd. There were actually quite a few menu options and we went with the fried cauliflower bites and chicken wings and shrimp. The food was ok. It looked good - but wasn't seasoned. Overall, not a bad spot to try if you're in the area.

The bar stools we were told were recently changed-the old ones were worse- and they can use another improvement. They are still too short for the bar if you eat there. Your elbows are up to your shoulders when eating, do yourself a favor and go to a table. Other than that, the inside was nice and the music was good. The sign is off to the side so keep going past the Subway and you will find it. There was also the dreaded liquor meter. Some nights I think there is a cover. We ordered the catfish and chicken wing basket that came with fries. The fries were good and crispy. The chicken was good and was seasoned. I was not a fan of the coating but it was okay. The fish I did not get into much as the coating was not for me. They did offer sauces on the side or on the food and that was good. My friend had the garlic parmesan which he liked, i had the buffalo hot sauce.
