This place has a foul smell mold puke type. If they actually gave a crap they would professionally deep clean this place 3 times a week.

This place couldn't make a mixed drink to save their soul. Over priced and watered down. If you drink beer its fine.

Great service, fun atmosphere, delicious pizza, easy to understand golf sim (our first time),…read moregreat stuff, can't wait to go back.

We visited for the first time today for their Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween event, and…read moreunfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the price. We knew beforehand that admission was $25 per person, even for children as young as 3. At $100 for our family of four, we expected a memorable experience, especially because our kids love the movie. Sadly, we left disappointed. Most of the characters wore flimsy, mascot-like costumes that were see-through- you could actually see the workers' faces underneath. Oogie Boogie was the standout, but the others could have used more effort. Even good face paint and a red wig for Sally would have made a better impression. The buffet was basic, and the hash browns were undercooked. Our two kids under 5 barely ate...a little pancake and a couple of chicken tenders and were hungry again an hour later. Of course, the restaurant can't control how much children eat, but that's exactly why a reduced price for younger kids makes sense. In my opinion, $15 per child would have been much more reasonable. With more holiday events being advertised, I hope they reconsider their children's pricing and improve the costumes and food. For families with little ones, this was a steep price for what was offered, and we would look elsewhere next time.

Stopped in for their 1pm Tuesday bingo. Have been here before and enjoy playing bingo, but realize…read morethat the actual game won't start until about 1:30pm. The attendant for bingo starts handing out the cards about 1:10pm. There were also many saved seats at the bar and some tables. A few did not show up so the seats were opened a little after 1pm. So get there early to get a seat. We had a couple drinks. Vodka and sprite and a Pinot Grigio. Both were reasonably priced. The soup special was tomato bisque with shrimp. The soup was very good. A little thicker than I prefer, but there was a decent amount of shrimp. Also ordered the onion ring tower. The rings were plated, no longer served in a tower. But the rings were fresh and tasty. Served with a spicy thousand island sauce. One constant here is that every time we have visited the service has beef excellent. Ashley greater is making us immediately feel comfortable. I love the way the people behind the bar back each other up. Niko makes sure there is no gap. Looking forward to our next visit.

Checked out this happening sports bar in Alsip. Deuces is…read moreone of the better bars around here. It doesn't take a lot of effort to be that it seems. Has pretty good happy hours that are cheap. There's also better than expected food at okay prices. Before coming here it looked like it was busy. It's often a good sign. There's plenty of TVs for watching games or whatever. Has plenty of seats at the bar. There's also quite a few tables. Bigger than expected. It's about $6 for cocktails at happy hour. There's better prices in the food though. A lot of cheaper items. It's $10 for the Jumbo Pretzel at happy hour, and we got one of these. Big enough for a few people to be honest. The rest of the menu has burgers and chicken sandwiches. Also has a weekend brunch. There's also Mexican food like fajitas and tacos. Certainly a lot on the menu. They unsurprisingly are slow it seems. For sure it's better than it looks. It's best to go weekdays for the cheaper prices. The menu has a lot of pretty okay things.

Got some pretty good drinks and mediocre food at this club. It certainly is better at certain times…read morewhen you go. Tommy's Place is one of the popular hangouts in Blue Island. Better to go earlier if you want to save on admission. With the crappy cover prices it adds up and isn't worth it because it's often lame to be honest. Found out about it while looking for places around here to go. It's not a great area for certain so the options are limited. This was one of the few bars or restaurants we had not been to yet. Annoying things they have about it. They often charge a cover on the weekends. Go earlier and it can be avoided. It's about $6 to get a whole pitcher on Wednesdays. Choose a house liquor and add fruit juices. Pretty great value. We imagined the food would be worse. It's about $6 for chips and salsa, pretty basic. This turned out to be actually okay. Of course they have the kitchen closed most times so they usually won't even have anything. They also have the usual bar food like burgers and fries. Have to say it's not as bad as it could be. It's closed Mondays. They charge a cover later on the weekends.

They need more bartenders. The service is horrible. The bartender on 9/19/25 was a little off and…read moremaybe needed some help. Asked my order twice and still got it completely wrong after being sure to serve everyone around me first. Then gave someone else

She was smiley and didn't seem like she was overloaded with requests, even though so many people were belly up to the bar. We took our drinks and found a table. As a vegetarian the menu is limited but I'm from the Midwest and expect this from a neighborhood bar. I ordered the Caesar salad. It was a traditional Caesar salad. My husband got the chicken wrap with tater tot's. Both were fresh and no complaints.

Checked out this bar in Mount Greenwood. It apparently has been renovated recently and is a lot…read morecleaner and nicer. Lawlor's is one of the many such places around here if it wasn't already obvious. A little farther away from the Beverly bars and hangouts. The menu is basic and there's pretty good prices. Basically we walked over here after hitting a few other of the area bars. It's actually in a new location. The older one used to be located closer to 111th and Pulaski. It was a true dive. This one though is a lot more modern looking. Has the same drinks but with food that's also edible. There's still a charm to it though. It's about $5 to get Jameson. There's also plenty on tap. It's about $7 for the Pretzel Bites. Kind of basic with a side of cheese sauce. I used mustard. The rest of the menu has meaty items like pork chops and things like that. Good place to come hang a bit. It's in a new location about a mile away from the old one. This is worth checking out getting away from the more popular places on Western.
