Checked out this pretty fun sports bar in Hoffman Estates. It conveniently is located next to a…read morebowling alley and in fact one can walk right into there without going outside. Bar Down is otherwise in an unassuming location. Great place for watching games. The fathers can take their kids to go bowling and they can hang out in here pretending to be parenting and things. Bigger than the average bar. It's located next to Poplar Creek Bowling and there's a passageway between these. There's supposed to be no alcohol consumption over by the lanes but whatever. Has lots of great specials going on. It's got U Call It at happy hour, which is basically like choosing whatever liquor one wants. Has a few more great specials on food. It's $5 to get Pretzel Bites at happy hour. The rest of the menu has nachos and other things. Also they can host banquets. They have catering if having large groups or parties. For sure it's a place to hang out and have fun. It's located in the strip mall on Higgins. There's lots of great specials.

I'll start with the service. We had Danielle as a server and she was fantastic! She was friendly, happy, and very efficient! I loved her spirit, it made our experience so much better. We ordered non-Irish food, but it is a bar, so expect bar food. We ordered Chicken Wings with BBQ Sauce and Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Both came with fries and the portions were quite massive! The flavors were not exciting or different, but was delicious. The wings were lightly fried and the BBQ sauce wasn't too punchy. It was very mild. The home made cole slaw was great. It had a cruncy texture and was delicious. The hot chicken sandwich had the necessary spice for Nashville Hot Flavor. Also delicious. They have a vast selection of drinks and the bar is quite large. You walk in, and you're walking in an old Irish bar, wood and reminders of Guiness wherever you go! I really enjoyed our experience and the food. I didn't see too many Irish dishes, but the menu was quite large. The service was great and the food was delicious. I'm glad I finally went in to Finn McCool's.

Brunette bartender with a lovely accent was so sweet and attentive and funny! Walked over a couple nights later, and it was drastically different. The bartender (Lindsey) was constantly complaining to a customer (seems she knew him) about her co workers, it was a little uncomfortable because we could hear everything seeing as we were the only ones at the bar. Lastly, she was so rude and pushy about taking my plate when I still had food on it. The third or fourth time she asked me if I was "done with my food" I just said yeah take it. Even though I wasn't done. We finished our drinks and left.

5 stars for Real Time Sports Bar & Grill in Elk Grove!…read more I had an awesome time here with some friends. It's a really nice larger size bar with tons of TV's, arcade games, pool tables, darts and a big bar with a nice beer list. Plenty of bottle options available with a smaller tap beer menu. I also tried the loaded nachos - delicious, hot and massive portion good enough for a group of people! The bartenders were very friendly as well, I definitely will be back here for some beers on a night out.

Neighborhood Inn has been a longtime favorite and is one of the best places for hangout out watching games and sports. A lot of the classic drinks and eats on the menu. There's also tons of vegan options including burgers, nachos, and shit loads of things. Chill place when there's not much going on in the way of sports but when there is it can get crazy. It's got a lot of great specials to choose from. They're known for Bloody Marys and mimosas so this is an okay place for women. A pretty big menu to look at. They even have breakfast and late night options. It's $5 to get margaritas on Tuesdays, and vodka mixers on Fridays. The food menu is massive. A lot of plant based options. It's about $15 to get The Veganator. A big ass burger that's plant based. This has avocado, cheese substitute, and pico de gallo. A lot more options to choose from. There's everything from nachos to tacos and other Mexican type of stuff. Get lots of stuff to drink and eat. It's located on Hassell in the one plaza. There's tons of options for vegans.

It's been a few years since we went to the Donkey Inn. We stopped going for a while since their…read morefood was inconsistent. However, this time, everything was great. Their menu is huge - lots of different options. But I can only speak to what I had. My fellow diners were pleased with their meals - a Reuben made with turkey and a burger in a lettuce wrap. Both had sweet potato fries. Both said their meals were good. I decided to try their skirt steak. It comes with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables but I substituted tater tots for the potatoes. The skirt steak come smothered in grilled onions and mushrooms. I have to admit, it was pretty good. It was not the quality of steak you would expect in a steakhouse like Morton's. But for the price, I thought it was quite good. The vegetables are steamed and not spiced at all. A little salt and pepper made the difference. Lastly, the tots were crisp and very tasty. The service was good. And, the booth was clean and it wasn't particularly loud, so we were able to talk. We won't wait as long to go back to the Donkey Inn again,

After a hectic weekend, we decided to end our Sunday together with a couple of beers, appetizer and…read moredessert to help us wind down. For an appetizer, we ordered the Drunken Wings with the dry rub seasoning. The wings were a decent size with a nice crispy texture, and the meat was juicy and tender. Unfortunately, I wasn't a big fan of the dry rub. It tasted pretty plain with mostly just a little spice, so the seasoning didn't really impress us. For dessert, we got the cinnamon sugar pretzels. They came with two pretzels, which was perfect because we didn't have to fight over sharing one! The pretzels were warm, soft, and fluffy, with a light coating of cinnamon sugar. They also came with two dipping sauces: caramel and chocolate. The caramel was definitely my favorite. I wasn't a fan of the chocolate sauce, it tasted like a generic Hershey's chocolate syrup. Overall, the wings didn't really win us over, but the cinnamon sugar pretzels definitely stole the show. Sometimes dessert really does save the meal!

So even if you like to sleep in you can still enjoy breakfast for lunch. We always prefer to support local family owned businesses over corporate options. The Chicago Loop Sports Bar is a fun entertaining establishment that you really want to stay in business for years to come! Everytime we come here we see someone we know and all the food has been delicious too. They have booth seating to the left of the entrance and larger tables to the right. They also have tall tables and a stage and lots of TV's. The waitresses / bartenders are the nicest people! I love that they have food specials and they change weekly. They even have a Turkey dinner (Holiday Dinner) and a Bourbon Pecan Pie option for dessert. So there is no reason why you cannot celebrate Thanksgiving this year! Make sure you check their website often for the entertainment schedule. They have karaoke, singo (bingo using songs) and bands. They have a jukebox, dart games, and more. It is a family friendly establishment.

I wasn't…read moreparticularly thrilled with the setup as the spot isn't super obvious to find from the main road and the parking is in a somewhat tight setup. The inside of the bar also looks like it could use some updating. With that said, the rest of the experience made up for this. The menu isn't anything special for a bar - however it is complete enough to have options to please a wide variety of patrons, prices are very fair, and the dishes are a bit above average for what you expect to get in a bar. The inside is fairly spacious so you don't feel cramped when meeting others, and service is fast and friendly. Overall, a solid choice if you are in the Streamwood area and looking for a bar to meet friends at and grab a quick bite.
