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.

Jamie the manager was also very awesome and gave us great service. I have never been so impressed. Lovely and passionate folks that work here. I will happily frequent other locations of this corporation as long as they have Jamie and Scott working there.

We went to the bar and asked if we seat ourselves... the bartender called the waitress over and she sat us right away. The menu has lots of great food options... pizza... tacos... salads... sandwiches and even desserts. We ordered 20 wings. 10 mild and 10 garlic parmesan. With a side of blue cheese for dipping. (Posted a video, not sure if it will show up on our review but you should be able to find it when searching images) The mild wings were really yummy! They were very flavorful! The garlic parmesan sauce was not my favorite... kind of blah and did not taste like there was any parmesan in the sauce... however the chicken wings were still cooked to perfect. Juicy chicken with a crispy coating.. the wings also were trimmed nicely.. no cartilage or gummy pieces. I would definitely dine here again! Our waitress kept checking in on us and gave us refills and she was very kind and loved her service with a smile!

Pub 56 is one of those places I can always count on for great food and great service! The food is…read moreconsistently delicious, and the servers are always prompt, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. There's also plenty of seating, so it never feels overly crowded or uncomfortable. I especially love coming on Wednesdays for their half price pizza. It's honestly my favorite! The pizzas are delicious, and if you don't finish it, you can easily take the rest home to enjoy later. They also have great specials throughout the week, which makes it even easier to find a reason to come back. Overall, Pub 56 is a fantastic spot with delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend checking them out, especially on Wednesdays for the half price pizza!

It was my first visit on a chilly Thursday night, but clearly a lot of regular patrons in here. I was there for an after work social and the appetizers I tasted were all delicious.

If you plan to eat here, it's ok, but I can't say anything is great. Yelp didn't have a ton of recent reviews so I looked at google and it seemed like the best reviewed items were the burgers and more specifically the mushroom n Swiss. So I tried it. And it was fine, just not a ton of flavor. The tots were probably the best thing I ate. The $5 Modelo drafts were a plus as well. As for the rest of the food I tried: the Saganaki was a little thin and runny, the guac didn't have a ton of flavor, the boneless wings were too thick, the traditional wings needed a little more flavor. Like I said, probably a great place to watch games and drink but I'd eat somewhere else.

We were exploring the Aurora area over the weekend and came across this place while searching for…read moresomewhere to eat. We ordered a few appetizers and a beer to start. The garlic cheese curds were the highlight of the meal, we enjoyed them so much that we ended up ordering a second round. The wings were decent, but the menu described them as smoked, and I honestly couldn't detect any smoky flavor or aroma. My biggest complaint was the service. The waiter took our food and drink orders at the same time, but the drinks arrived much later than expected. In fact, we had already finished our appetizers by the time the beer was served. Since we visited around 2-3 PM and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, the delay was disappointing. Overall, the food was enjoyable, especially the garlic cheese curds. If I return, I'll probably order my drinks first and place my food order afterward to avoid the wait.

When we're in town, we hit up all the old favorites, and Miller's Ale House was on the menu on June 25th. We had dinner plans with friends later, but we squeezed in a lunch date with beer and a shared appetizer. Their wings are legendary, so we ordered 12 to go with our brews. Let's get to the review. Service was top-notch - our host greeted us with a smile, and our waiter was on point. We got our beers within five minutes, no problem. The ambiance was cozy, well-lit, and bustling with sports tv and ambient noise. But here's the kicker - we waited 30 minutes for our wings. Yeah, it was 1:30 when we arrived and the place was pretty empty, but that's no excuse. Now why did give a rating of two? Well, for the service and ambiance only. We were served our wings at 2:00. How were the wings you maybe wondering? My Husband and I eagerly grab wing flats. 'Can these bones live?' Eating those wings immediately reminded me of Ezekiel 37 in the Old testament after he saw skeletons scattered about asked, "Can these bones live?" The wings were drier than the Sahara, and the honey barbecue sauce was just a weak attempt to revive the corpse. Can these dry out wings live up to being freshly made and juicy covered up by a tasty honey barque sauce? Hell to the naw, naw naw!!! We called our waiter over explained our dissatisfaction with a request to remove the wings off our bill. We still tipped him, because hey, he's not the wing assassin. since he only served the food and it was the kitchen that prepared that saucy dressed up trash plated up real pretty. What a let down Miller's. We noticed your price increase for six wings cut in half sold as 12 pieces. If you expect customers to pay more for less than you should be serving your best, that is cooked fresh not food that is precooked sitting for hours then reheated. I did check your reviews which were not the best and gave you the benefit of a doubt despite low ratings. Would I recommend Miller's? Sure, if you enjoy eating dry wings and wondering if they'll crawl off your plate. However, to each their own, your money, your call. This economy has got me rethinking the whole 'strike three and you're out' deal. Paying more for less, subpar service, unnecessary waiting time, honey it is now, strike one, you're on out as my time and coins are valuable and restaurants are hurting so I will search for one where I can get the love I deserve.

The End Zone is a bar that obviously has a sports theme. A lot of the basics. The prices are cheap on most things but it's of course crummy quality. Checked it out later one night and we got a few of the best items. It's got things that take forever after ordering. They may be used to people just having cocktails because the food sucks. Basic dive bar kind of crap. There's a few better things, but have some cash on you. It's about $6 for cocktails. Whiskey and whatever. Also get food. It's about $9 for appetizers including the pretzel sticks. Has the obligatory greasy stuff like any dive bar. There's wings and other things. Has a few okay things about it. It's open later even on weekdays so get your drinking and eating on. They're open all the time but go in the afternoons to avoid crazy traffic or whatever.

Ok, so the place smelled kinda bad when I first walked in, but I didn't noticed the stench after a few minutes. I can't even put my finger on what kind of bad. It was a Saturday afternoon, and there were a few people (I peg them for regulars) sitting by the bar. The service was great! The bartender lady took good care of us and was attentive even though we were the only ones not sitting at the bar. Nachos with beef - REALLY GOOD nachos! I was surprised by this awesomeness of this appetizer. The chips were deep fried and slightly puffy. They were loaded with ground beef, beans and cheese. You can also get them with chicken or steak instead of beef. Italian beef - Pretty good, but wasn't a fan of the fresh cut fries. The onion rings were huge and I would order those rather than fries next time. There were plenty of TV's with different sports on them and a few pool tables.

The previous time I came was post-comedy show, just for drinks, and the 3 of us all enjoyed our drinks then, as well.

We started with an order of their Street Corn Deviled Eggs which were amazing..super creamy.
