After standing in the woods attempting to bond with the Northern Lights and slowly freezing our…read moretoes off, we were simply looking for a place to warm our bones. Enter 3rd Street Pub. This is clearly a fun spot for the younger crowd, pool tables, music, solid pub food, and a lively local vibe. The place had good energy and a steady flow of regulars who seemed very much at home. We, however, felt slightly... peripheral. Maybe it was our age. Maybe we didn't look like we just finished a shift. Either way, the welcome factor was on the lighter side. A sprinkle of friendliness from the servers would go a long way. That said, I can absolutely see the appeal for locals. It's a solid neighborhood bar with drinks, food, games, and music, the kind of place where you know people and people know you. For us? A good warming stop. For the regulars? Probably the place to be.

We actually got a chance to have a small interaction with the other Natalie who does the bingo calling and she was super funny and totally down to earth. These ladies are absolutely what you want when you are out trying to enjoy a night out with your best friends or your loved one. Its so nice to be able to go to a bar where the workers love to be there and enjoy their time with their customers. And the food... the food is just delicious. We love the food there and the different options they have. From wings, to jalapeños cheese curds, to even birria being on the menu. Plenty of options to choose from. This is absolutely our favorite place to go and will continue our business with them. Thanks girls for another great night! - M&L

Frank Capalano was the reason we went in, but the cool vibe kept us there for a few hours. The vintage building looked great on the outside. The big brick building looked like there was some history behind those doors. We walked into a dark room with two levels, a big bar flanking one side of the room and a stage with a dancefloor. I could tell people have fun here. We snagged a small table and listened to the 4-piece band while sipping on an ice-cold beer. The bartender Chris was fantastic. He got busy but never forgot us. There was a popcorn machine which was great, but I was hoping for a meal or at least an appetizer, since I had just gotten off work. It does have the word PUB in it's name. Oh well, the music kept us too busy all night to think about food. The place seems as though it has gotten a facelift. It looks restored not renovated. Everything was super clean, which is always a good thing. I really enjoyed my night at The House Pub and would definitely stop in again the next time I am in town.

I purchased a Stern Ghostbusters Premium from Great American Pinball that was advertised as HUO…read more(Home Use Only). After thoroughly inspecting the machine at home, I discovered multiple indicators that strongly suggest it had been previously routed, not HUO. These included nearly $4,000 in coin drop shown in non-erasable audits, visible wear on the coin chutes and coin mechs, heavy black dust accumulation under the playfield (especially around insert hot spots), and early insert edge ghosting. Taken together, these are not consistent with a true HUO machine and should have been identified before advertising it as such. At best, this reflects a lack of proper inspection and careless use of the HUO label. At worst, it feels misleading. Either way, it significantly undermined my trust in their representations. My advice to potential buyers: do not rely solely on HUO claims from this seller. Verify audits and condition yourself. Based on my experience, I would not purchase from Great American Pinball again without extreme scrutiny.

The South Elgin location is located off Randall Rd. We went on a Friday night to take advantage of their Happy Hour drink specials. Beers 3.25 and Martinis 5.25. They also have a wine special. Our server (Sage) was super friendly and did not rush us even tho they were pretty busy. (And loud) We had their cheese fries as an appetizer and they were fresh and not greasy at all. My wife had the 10 inch GF Supreme pizza and I had the 12 inch Sausage Pizza. Both were loaded with cheese and had good flavor. There was more than enough for leftovers. Prices are very reasonable. With another location in St. Charles,Riverside Pizza and Pub is definitely worth a place to checkout when in the Western suburbs.

I'd never been offered that option at a restaurant before - a very nice touch. The lamb was amazing. Gnocchi was considered a large plate and defiantly enough for a meal. Nice atmosphere. Friendly service.
