Some street parking available out front and on adjacent streets or fairly close to the Highwood train station. The space is quaint, but well decorated with loosely art deco, higher end finishes! Bar seating or table seating for small to medium groups...it appeared there was a larger space for bigger parties but it was closed during our visit. Our bartender was very friendly and responsive to our requests! We both ordered the Smoked Old Fashioned, which came in an elaborate and entertaining display! The cocktail was delightfully sippable and lived up to the value. I'd absolutely order it again! A perfect spot to grab a cocktail and catch up with friends or wind down after a long day!

It's a "speakeasy" behind the bar, and surprisingly, they have a different menu from Everett Farms. I mean, it's similar, but they didn't offer the Umami burger (that I was looking forward to) and the pricing is different too. I think this area is geared towards cocktails. They closed the door and we basically had the whole room to ourselves. We feasted on some juicy grilled burgers and to-die-for Kennebec fries (thick and square-cut). It would have been nice to have the Sunday $10 burger price but it cost more to eat in The Old Mill Lounge. We ate pretty fast and when we left there were still available tables in the main restaurant. Next time: make a reservation

We went out with Park Ridge friends last weekend and they took us to this charming bar. I read a…read morefew reviews that said that Pines Room has a small town vibe. I disagree--I am a Chicago boy and it has a big city hidden gem quality about it. In fact, they promote themselves as a speakeasy. Of course you can get any cocktail you want, but my husband and I both opted for a special strawberry cocktail made with Hendrick's gin. It was refreshing, not too sweet, and garnished with a dehydrated lemon slice. Perfect! Our friends both ordered old fashioned cocktails that looked equally as good. It was a Saturday night and this tiny bar was jam-packed. We had to stand, but it was okay because we had only stopped in for one drink before heading to another restaurant for dinner. The bartenders were friendly and efficient. Prices are not inexpensive, but average to what you'd find in a downtown Chicago restaurant. If you''re looking for a cool place to hang in Park Ridge with a craft cocktail and have a small bite (they have a limited food menu, too), Pines Room is the place.

A lounge with a wall of vinyl that you can select from and have the proprietor play for you is just a really cool idea and I'm amazed that more places don't offer this type of nostalgia. There is a tiny bar up at the front that the owner sells water, sodas (bottles and cans) and alcohol. There is a menu of drinks available that the owner can make for you or that he has available in bottles and cans. There is no food available, but you are allowed to bring in your own. There is a small private room to set up a table of food, place some tabletop games and listen to the music, host a meeting, have small gatherings or other type of event. They do offer different events in the main room and for the birthday I attended there; karaoke was then offered later that night. It seems there are some regulars who turn out for that so it's definitely a great neighborhood spot for regulars and newcomers alike. They also offer some board games and party games to make the your time there a lot more enjoyable with fun games, great music, and good vibes. I can't wait to visit again.

My wife ordered a mushroom flatbread which she said was one of the best she'd ever had and I ordered a large salad that they made up the way I wanted it. I don't need cheese and I don't need a lot of other things so I told them exactly what I wanted on it. They made it perfectly and gave me some apple vinaigrette dressing put a piece of salmon on it and it was great. Our waitresses name was Studie and she was very good.

Sadly they had no tap beer due to a wedding the night before. (Never heard that one before...) We ended up with a gin and tonic and a Sea Breeze. It was not busy but it took a while to get the food and drinks. The staff were very pleasant but I could imagine if the place was jammed the wait time would have been far longer. It seemed there were only 2 staff on duty. If you are on a tight schedule, this place may not be the best choice... This was a nice bar overall. Very pleasant staff!!

I recently visited with a coworker to play pool. When we arrived, a kind older gentleman with white…read morehair and a beard let us know that two tables were available, though both had issues--one had a tear in the felt, and the other had limited lighting. We initially chose the first table, assuming the tear was minor, but after taking a closer look, we realized it was much more significant than expected. We immediately requested to switch to the second table with the lighting issue, which worked out fine for us. However, when it came time to check out, another slightly younger, taller staff member with long brown hair informed us that we would be charged for both tables for the 3-4 hours we were there, even though we only used one. My coworker, who prefers to avoid confrontation, ended up paying. I did ask to speak with the older gentleman we had originally spoken to, but he was busy bartending at the time, and I had to leave to catch my Uber. I believe this situation could have been resolved more fairly with clearer communication. I've always enjoyed coming here for drinks and pool, and we make a point to tip well. That said, this experience was disappointing. While I understand that the establishment may have its challenges, better communication and customer service would go a long way. We're easygoing and patient--especially since we work in the restaurant industry ourselves--but being charged for something we didn't use (that other guests were using--mind you) despite addressing the issue upfront, felt unreasonable. Unfortunately, this experience has made me reconsider returning. There are other nearby places with well-maintained tables and better customer service that I would likely choose instead. I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt this situation warranted sharing. I hope this feedback is taken constructively.
