It's a bar I don't understand how you can't be social & why would you keep my tip if I was so unpleasant

They're incredibly friendly and actually take the time to remember their customers, which gives the place such a personal and community feel. The atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable, and perfect whether you're meeting friends or just unwinding after a long day. They have a really good selection of draft beers and cocktails, so there's always something great to try. The food is amazing too -- definitely beyond what you'd expect from a neighborhood bar. One thing I really appreciate is that they use beef tallow to fry their food, which gives everything incredible flavor and feels like a healthier, more traditional option compared to seed oils. This has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I keep coming back just to hang out, grab a beer or cocktail, and enjoy the welcoming vibe. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

All of the servers I have had wait on our tables have been knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. My favorite appetizer (one that I return for far too often) is the Brussel Sprouts with balsamic drizzle, goat cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. Pure perfection. The cowboy steak salad is delicious and while I don't eat most the pickled jalapeño in it (too many are too spicy for me), I never request them to be taken out because they add a wonderful kick even if I pull them out myself. Many other favorites on the menu!

Steve and staff were amazing. The food was spectacular. The staff was ever present and welcoming, extremely professional but not intrusive. Food and presentation as good as any I have had in the western suburbs. We are already planning for next year. Absolutely the best of the best, 5 stars. If there was a James Beard award for sports bars I would give it to them. Thank you Steve and staff.

Stacy's Café, Bellwood…read more Good food and attentive service can't make up for Stacy's negatives. Noise: First, and a solid reason to stay away, the acoustics are so bad that customers can't comfortably talk or hear. Diners actually remarked about the noise to diners at other tables. Cocktail cost and quality: I complained to the bartender about the $19 charge for my lightly colored ice water Manhattan. "Chicago prices lady!" (According to AI, a standard Maker's Mark cocktail in a high-end city bar might be $15-$20. Note: Stacy's is on Manheim in Bellwood) Whackamo pricing: Beware! There was a hidden upcharge on my baked potato.

Rafferty's was truly an unforgettable experience. I haven't seen this much unearned superiority…read moresince a guy named Connor explained whiskey to me like his family personally invented Ireland. The atmosphere was very "we're better than you," which is ambitious considering half the room looked genetically connected to famine survivors and dock workers. The confidence level in that building deserves scientific study. I walked in expecting casual dining and somehow ended up in what felt like an audition for "Medieval Lords of the Suburbs." The staff acted like they were protecting ancient bloodlines instead of refilling ranch dressing. At one point I honestly wanted to ask: "Sir, are you judging me... while wearing a polo shirt with barbecue sauce on it?" The energy was aggressively holier-than-thou for a place where the main cultural contribution is fried appetizers and vodka seltzer. To be fair, the food was fine. But the side of racial superiority was a little harassing for my ego. If you're looking for a place to drink with historic levels of racism and naturally redheaded bartenders, this is the place for you!
