I was really hoping it would be my new neighborhood watering hole but that's not happening. The look alike Roz, from Monsters Inc, saw me and my two girlfriends looking at the menu. She didn't ask us what we wanted, she just walked by yelling "ONLY PIZZA". She was rude, inconsiderate and not to mention wrong, considering we ordered more than pizza. Tara was tending bar. She waited on us. She did her job. There's no reason to go back. Note to the owner, You will gain new customers if you make customer service your number one priority!

Got some great cocktails from this bar and gallery in Aurora. It has a kind of limited menu but you…read morecan find something good though. French 75 is basically an art gallery but there's a bar. Look at some art while sipping on a few cocktails. The prices aren't bad especially at happy hours. Checked it out before going to see a play and it was big time ass busy. It's one of the nicer bars in town to be certain. There's all kinds of fancy cocktails such as the namesake obviously. Go at the happy hour and save a few bucks. It's $6 for any of the French 75 variations. Happy hour is Tuesdays through Fridays 4 to 6 in the evening. The Blanc is Bombay Dry Gin, Brut, lemon juice, and simple syrup. It's about $9 for appetizers. The Marinated Olives are nice to munch on. Also they have charcuterie boards. These are great for groups and parties. Has quite an interesting combination. It's open every evening with plenty of art to check out. They have a happy hour weekdays and are open later Fridays and Saturdays.

It's truly a shame I enjoyed it so much when it wasn't a permanent menu item, but I'm positive their other cocktails, especially margaritas, are just as good. My sister got a spicy Mexican-style lager, which certainly was spicy! Their N/A mocktails looked intriguing, too. The birria grilled cheese was out of this world good (no pictures because it was devoured too fast). The sandwich had a good amount of meat and had big, hearty bread to hold the weight of the meat. I typically don't enjoy waffle fries because most places don't cook them evenly, but FEB does it right. I even got some fun seasoning on them, which elevated my experience. Also, the aesthetic is so cool! I would've gone just for the food, but the vibes (and drink) made it worth extra special. Our server could not have been kinder, too.

Went there for the Friday Fish-Fry. EZ Parking. The place is vintage (that means OLD with CHARM)-The room is warm and intimate-yes you might have folks you dont know sitting with you at community tables. Not to worry--everyone is nice here! There's a long bar, with EXPERT Bartenders on duty. Nawt on tap, but they are better stocked than you might imagine--beers AND booze. Don't freak out when you find out the prices-they are as old-school as the surroundings! (meaning VERY VERY reasonable). Get your drinks and find a seat. In the southwest corner of the room, there's a small table where you'll place your order-check the brief menus on the table first. There's a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card. Don't whine-the prices for dinner are SO reasonable, if you order the MOST expensive thing on the menu at $15 your surcharge will be 45¢. Make sure you remember your table number (each table has a prominent card on it). A runner will bring your food out to you. Make sure you leave a generous tip in the jar on the ordering table These are plate dinners, no ala carte. You'll get coleslaw and a roll with your plate. Paper plates, napkins and plastic utensils on the table. You'll get Tartar sauce or Cocktail Sauce with your dinner plate per your order. There are Appetizers available--I had the mushrooms, and they were, without a doubt, the BEST breaded 'shrooms EVER! With excellent Ranch dressing. The friends we were with, (regulars who hipped us to this place in the first place) say the Fries and Onion Rings are fab, too. Next time, we get the Mozz Sticks--if they are as good as the 'Shrooms...YUM! Wife had the Breaded Jumbo Shrimps 5 to an order. She's admittedly finicky about her Shrimp, and these passed her palate with flying colors. You can order extra shrimps at $3 per if you please. STILL reasonable. I swung with the Breaded Walleye-Absolutely fabulous! Great Tartar sauce. We both had Baked Potatoes, and THEY were fab! Plenty of Butter on the tables, and you get sour cream on your plate. No desserts-Go to the bar and get something sweet!! The entire experience is "home-y" and most pleasant. Didn't think I'd ever get to go to an old-school "fraternal club" thing like this again--but here it is! Don't know if the general public is welcome on other days than the Friday Fish Fry, but it was so nice there, we're thinking of becoming members-apparently you dont need to be Luxembourgian to join. We've been to enough posh joints, with a bruised and bloodied AMEX card to show for it--It is SO refreshing to go to a place with incredibly great vibes, delicious food, a shockingly fine bar, and ridiculously reasonable prices. Slow your roll, dress casual, and patronize this place for an EXCELLENT seafood feed on a Friday night...

O'Malley's is located in one of the more rural parts of the city if you can call it that. Basically one of the few dining options that are right around here. There's the usual beers and cocktails, as well as things like burgers and pretzels. Bigger than it looks inside. It's located pretty close to the golf course so it's a popular spot after playing. This also gets a lot of people who are watching football on weekends. One of the local sports bars. They have a pretty good happy hour. It's about $4 for basic cocktails such as whiskey and Coke. It's about $5 to get the Pretzel Logs. The rest of the food menu is pretty meaty, with things like burgers and chicken tenders. For sure it's a good place for watching games. It's located on Hill Avenue next to Phillips Park. The happy hour is even on weekends.

Luckily there's apps and the internet. The inside seems a bit dingy but it's got enough room for gathering and stuff. Bars like this are becoming a thing of the past to be honest. It's one of the few older local joints known for the loyal regulars. That doesn't mean they don't welcome newcomers though. Kind of funny how they made room for the facilities. The men's bathroom is through some partial door and a little hallway. Good prices on most cocktails. It's about $7 for Jameson. There's $0.50 bags of chips, but they sell frozen pizzas from a local pizza place. Good place to hang out a bit. It's located on Ridgeway Avenue at Hartford. They have a few slots and whatever.

The menu is pretty standard Irish bar menu foods. My wife got a rubin and I wanted something different and got the corned beef boxty. My wife liked her sandwith, she even liked their seasoned fries which is unusual as she generally doesn't like fries. The Boxty admittedly wasn't much to look at. But it tasted pretty damn good, the very thin "potato"? pancake that was more like a crepe. It was filled with corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand island, cabbage, mustard and swiss. Sounds like it should be a mess but it really was pretty balanced. The cabbage gave it some needed texture. The beers again, they have all good traditional Irish beers plus a healthy selection of other stuff., I got a Smithwick's and my wife a Carsberg. We have a good time, good food, drink and service.
