We were actually a little disappointed with the beer, which like food is a personal preference. I got a stout and he got a dubbel. Neither wowed us.

Three stars just because our choices that night didn't wow us, but we plan on going back for the food and service. There were more beers to try next time!

The on tap beer menu is small, but delicious. Had two local Chicago microbreweries (Maplewood and Dovetail - NEIPA and Pils, as well as Missouri's Narrow Gauge Brewery - Wild Idaho Jorts). Beers were so good, now need to go and search out these breweries in the flesh. Best tho was their a small Spanish-inspired Tapas menu...husband had bourbon pork belly solomillo with fries and I had montaditos (jamon, salami, honey goat cheese and arugula with fig dip on tiny pan shaped torta bread) with chips. What an outstanding and unexpected delight. Fresh and tasty. Friendly service and a live music guitarist all on a Sat. night. Great place to catch the world cup too. Will be back!

We've added this to our restaurant rotation. The servers are also really friendly!

Came here for dinner on a Saturday evening with a party 6 and we were seated on high boosted table…read moreseats; our server was very kind and sweet and we came around 5:00 PM so we were seated pretty swiftly with no wait. For appetizers we had their loaded tater tots and cheese curds; their tater tots were absolutely delicious, I wish we requested to add birria, but even without the meat it was so so good- the tater tots were fried and crisp and the sauce with jalapeños and cheddar cheese were rich and indulgent. I tried their fish and chips and personally, it wasn't bad but it wasn't exactly amazing. I personally would absolutely go back to try their other foods but I personally wouldn't order their fish and chips again, the fish was fried crisp but lacked any more flavor (and I have had a LOT of fish and chips, I at least expect SOME flavor), and I substituted their house fries for truffle fries. The truffle fries were disappointing, not crisp and quite soggy when I received them. Their assortment of beers are fine, tried a flight of 4 different assortments and didn't find one that I particularly loved or wow'd me, but I appreciate the wide selection of local craft beers! The downside I will say was the overall wait and service- our server was so kind and nice, but for a Saturday evening it was clear their team was way understaffed. We arrived at 5:00 PM and left at 7:00 PM because we had waited 20 minutes at a time to be seen to get boxes and then again to get our check. Our server had to serve other tables around the restaurant in ADDITION to manning the bar. We came at 5:00 PM before dinner rush came and by the time we left we were in the thick of dinner rush which meant our server was held up majority of the time. Not his fault at all, I'm hoping that moment was a one off of bad scheduling and unable to find adequate coverage for staff. Overall, I'll return to try their other foods! I'm hoping the service will be more supportive for their staff so their servers aren't spread so thin.

Black Lung is one of the best hangouts in Round Lake Beach, away from the beach of course. Has quite a few beers on tap as well as meads. The prices are pretty okay on most things. Came in here recently and we got a few beers. It's about $7 a pint. There's stronger ones that are more expensive but still not that much though. Best one among what I tried was the Cymatics. It's a maltshake IPA. This is supposed to taste malty. Amazingly it has zero lactose. The other one that was a favorite was the Galaxy 503, an IPA that's not too hoppy and has a sweet taste. Also they have mead and smoothies if you want something besides beer. The beer is good but there's a lot more. Has a pretty cool atmosphere. It only has beer and mead so there's no food menu. There sometimes will be food trucks on weekends.

The private room we had reserved was occupied by another party when we arrived, so we were seated in the main dining room instead. It worked out, but it wasn't the setup we'd planned for, and it's worth calling the restaurant to reconfirm your room a few days before your event. Credit where it's due: once we were seated, the staff did a nice job. Service stayed attentive across a full group, food came out hot and on time, and the quality held up on every plate. The beer selection is a real draw, parking in the back lot is easy, and the downtown Libertyville location made it easy for guests to make an evening of it. Good food, good people, one booking mix-up. We'd come back.

The alcohol is self self serve the offer various beers and a few cocktails. The only complaint I have is I find their seats are uncomfortable.

I love pugs so this place was definitely on my bucket list. We tried the Turkey Burger and the Atomic Burger - both were pretty good, we tried the regular wedge fries and the sweet potato waffle fries - both also good, but I have to say the sweet potato fries were better than the regular ones. I only subtract one star because of the service - our server was not unfriendly, but he was very slow, didn't check up on us or ask how the food was, did not offer refills on my Coke Zero, and this was on a slower night here. I would come back for the food, decor and environment, there appears to be game nights here as well which sound fun, and self serve beer taps - will have to try both next time. I'd overall recommend if you're in the area and want a good burger/beer/ a cool place to hang out.!
