This is a typical neighborhood bar. Very clean on the inside. Service was OK but you have to go to the bar to order food to order drinks. They do not have servers walking around taking your orders. Went on a Thursday night for Trivia night. Very friendly staff. Is serving sizes are pretty big. Its worth stopping in for a drink

Sports, beer and good prices. Only reason it’s not a 5 is the tables and bar are sticky. It is amazing in the dive bar category. All the staff is friendly and helpful, prices are right, and the food is what you need after a few.

Local neighborhood bar where “everybody knows your name”. Very good Mexican food, especially on nights when the cook is doing one of his famous “specials”.

Pretty decent bar. Irish themed. Overly fried food. Miss the popcorn machine. Don’t remember seeing it recently. Kind of a dive bar (compliment). If they do get fairly busy, its difficult to get a drink in any reasonable amount of time as they tend to address newer customers it seems. Overall, decent local hole in the wall.

It’s a run of the mill dive bar that’s not easy to get to by foot. Parking is scarce, service is good, and it seems kinda dirty. It seems like a great hangout for 20somethings or people who still think they are. They have dartboard, Golden Tee, and a pool table. There’s a limited bar menu, but I wouldnt recommend it because there’s plenty of good food in the area. Good last stop at the end of the night if you have a DD or Uber.

If I could rate 0, I would. Use to love this place, but the staff is absolutely awful. I would recommend checking out anywhere else in libertyville.

Bar and pub with a dive-y feel (in a good way). Pretty good food with a late night menu; try the fried PB&J. Solid drink specials, two pool tables, darts, and a heated smoking patio. Heavily patrolled by police so please think of yourself and others and don’t drink and drive. They used to have a popcorn machine but last time I went there it was gone :'(

Great dive bar where you can feel safe and there is a quaint outdoor area where people can meet and mingle. Always been a go-to for me. Drinks are super reasonable too.
