Hey fellow Yelpers! This was me and my boyfriend's first time going to The Venue at Horseshoe…read moreCasino, but we've been to the casino once. We didn't know what to expect, but we were both excited to go to a new venue since this was our first ever rock concert. We went to see Dokken and it was awesome! Atmosphere: Some of the other reviews mentioned it was hard to find The Venue.e and my boyfriend didn't find it hard at all to find it. If you pay attention to the signs, it tells you where it's at. One thing I heavily disliked about going through the casino just to get to The Venue was the smell of pure cigarettes. I do not smoke at all and it was not an appealing smell at all. I wish they had a separate entrance that leads directly to The Venue without having to go through the casino smelling all of that. Layout: The layout of the venue was decent. I bought me and my boyfriend floor seats and we were the 2nd row from the stage. The view was nice for the price. I thought it was interesting that some people kept leaving their seats just to get closer to the stage. I kept asking myself why don't they just purchase floor seats, but the security kept telling them to go back to their seats which I appreciated. Food/Drink Items: There was an okay selection of beverages (alcoholic & non-alcoholic) as well as light snacks. I'm not a drinker, so I just got a water bottle. They only had mini bottle waters and it was $2. I wish they had a bigger bottled waters. The mini bottled water reminded me of the 8 oz Kirkland one from Costco. It probably was and ended up putting the casino's name on it. Overall Experience: Overall, me and my boyfriend had a great experience with the concert at this venue. It's a tad smaller than other ones we've been too, but it also wasn't crazy crowded or sold out which worked out for us. I hope this review helps The Venue at Horseshoe Casino & its current and future customers. Have an amazing day!

You can purchase upgrades for better seating and access to discounted beer and drinks, but if you just want to attend you can do so for free. Parking is $25 per car, but you can also access for free via bicycle (they have a bike valet), walk if you live close by or by rideshare (they have a rideshare lot for easy drop off/pick up. I'm not sure why people say it is unsafe; there are more than enough police that pat down at the entrance (just like at almost every other concert venue and sporting event does) and a big police presence throughout the festival. It is a beautiful venue (the pavilion) and easy to get to from Chicago (Skyway and Indiana Toll Road). Website is FestivalOfTheLakes.com

There's a ton to choose from at pretty good prices, and there's also a small but good food menu. Came in recently and we got a few drinks and food. It wasn't that busy and we were one of the few inside the last time here. There's also a patio you have to walk through to get inside. It's about $7 for a cocktail. Most of these are made with whiskey. I liked the Oak Old Fashioned. This is Bullett Rye with aromatic and orange bitters, Fever Tree seltzer, and a sugar cube to top it off. Also we had the Pretzels And Dip. It's $7 for a few. This comes with a choice of cheese or mustard. It seemed like the prices were cheap. They could have charged a lot more and people wouldn't have thought anything of this. Good drinks and food. It also has good prices.

Well, there is much more to Pines Tap than old union workers, my friend. This place has the BEST daily dinner specials. Me, I'm partial to the Friday night fish fry, where you can choose from fresh lake perch, cod, frog legs, shrimp, or walleye for somewhere around $7. It's a steal considering how much food you get. And this fish is GOOD! The lake perch is some of the best I've had around---and I'm saying this after having Phil Smidt's and Teibel's and some of the other infamous perch houses of the region. It almost tastes like they took fresh lake perch--only hours old---and fried it in a Long John Silver's-type batter. The result is a crispy outside and a decadent, tasty cut of fish on the inside. If you order it with fries, you'll find this side to be just as tasty as the fish. And don't expect a hole in the wall, even thought Pines Tap isn't in the greatest location of Hammond. It is very well kept up, with a handsome decor in solid wood. The regulars can tend to be a little grizzly looking, though.
