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. The service was great, and we saw families, couples, and groups of friends - exactly the kind of place for a casual evening out. 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!

I believe each game was a dollar, which was a huge plus. We ordered a few drinks and basket of fries too. Fries were GF! They also have electronic darts in the same area. Darts were fun too, only down side is one dart machine is very close to the billiard table. Everyone that was in the game area was super friendly and ultimately everyone was able to play their games in peace. Only recommendation I have is to move the foosball table out or move all the dart machines to one side (if possible). We'll def be back just from the overall vibe alone.

Tangled Roots exceeding our expectations by a mile. I loved their recommended drafts, and the waiter kindly made recommendations. We ordered cheese curds (excellent), chicken tenders, and the TR burger. Everything was fantastic and fresh. The sauces were unique and went great with the cheese curds, fries, and chicken. There was even a little Cole slaw that came with the chicken that was pleasantly spicy. 10/10 will comeback again! Only wish it was closer to me!

Each time I went there the experience & atmosphere began to turn into something I desired. The vibe is chill, service is great and their menu is actually really great. Strongly recommend the Cheese Curds and DO NOT skip out on the Spicy Dipping Sauce (it's chipotle ranch) but it's made in house and it's so good. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was due to the amount of taps they were out of during my visits there. Hopefully on my next visit they are 100% on their taps.

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.

On Wednesday 11/26/2025, the taproom sounded like a daycare center. Crying babies, and several 3- or 4-year-olds running around the taproom screaming in a pitch that has yet to be identified by musical notation while Mom and Dad drink beer. In one case, the father was actually chasing the kid around the taproom, tossing the kid in the air and encouraging him to scream. This behavior is for Chuck E Cheese's, not a taproom where the majority of customers are older (and paying) adults trying to have a conversation or relax after work. My personal opinion is that children do not belong in bars, but perhaps that view is outdated. Is there not some middle ground where children can still visit with their parents but must remain seated at the table with Mom and Dad? Or perhaps be required to sit in a different part of the establishment?

The menu has a large variety of options, which I appreciated. I tried the O'Toole's original burger with fries, it was decent, though a bit pricey for what was served. The service was good; our waiter checked in on us frequently, which was especially noticeable given how busy it was. The ambiance was pleasant overall and fit the setting well. That said, it's more of a spot I'd go to for a group event rather than somewhere I'd choose to visit on my own again.

A kind of limited amount to choose from but these are well crafted. The prices are okay if a bit higher. Came in and we got a table so we could drink and eat. It's only got beers but you can bring in stuff. There's plenty of places within a fast walk. As for the beers here, the selection is kind of limited. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we got was the Sour Belgian Monkey Strong Ale. It's 9% ABV and certainly strong. For food we went to The Otherdoor. It's about $11 for a few tacos. Also Maevery Public House is next to here. There's lots of close by restaurants and stores. Have a good time with beers and games. It's just beers on the menu but you can still bring in stuff. They're open every weekday and open longer on weekends.

Probably should have ordered something a little darker with a bit more punch (ABV) .... Next time. It was a hot summer afternoon so it wasn't a bad choice. Definitely a summer beer.

He was nice enough to give me a taste of their beers as well. Will go back. The establishment is located just off Sheridan Road in "downtown" lake bluff.

The Parched Pug has taken over the old Tacos El Norte…read morelocation (which we loved and were bummed when they closed) and finally found or way here for a night of 80s trivia with friends. I had heard mixed reviews on the food, so I was mentally prepared to have mediocre food. It's kind of confusing how you go about ordering food and drink because: 1) it's by person 2) it's by table 3) there are no instructions what to do except for a small sign on the table 4) none of the staff explain anything to you 5) there are three different QR codes to choose from So with so trial and error and explanations from other friends who have visited before (or arrived earlier than us). I ordered a cup of the cream of chicken soup. It came cold and I had to send it back to warm up. They brought (hopefully) a new cup of WARM soup. It wasn't much warmer than the previous bowl, so I just dealt with it. I then ordered the boneless buffalo wings. Just call them cubes of chicken as that's what they were. I ordered the soup, the cubes, potato wedges and a soda and it was $37. That's a bit steep for what I ordered. And that was just me. My wife ordered a soda and a salad and it tacked on another $30. It's pricey for what it is. If you want beer, you have to get a card and then open a tab and then select from a wall of selections. You pay by the ounce, so unless you know what you want, it can get pricey as you order an ounce of different ones to taste them. Then came the 80s trivia and there were a lot of teams for a cold Thursday night. It was a lot of fun. I believe there were prizes for the top three teams. Our two teams were not among the winners. It was a fun night out and worth checking out for fun. They have line dancing, board games, trivia nights and more served up with some traditional bar fare. And how can you pass up a place called The Parched Pug?
