Wow, what a joke of a place. Where do I even start. This place may have music but it's far from a…read moremusic venue. Awkward layout with restaurant goers facing the entrance door and the stage tucked into a corner. The audio guy didn't know what he was doing and both band mixes were extremely loud. Most bars have earplugs for this reason. Complimentary earplugs. Not this place. They charge a dollar for earplugs. I order a beer. I'm thirsty so I'd like a glass of water with it...nah. Bartender says he can't do it and has to charge me for a bottle of water if I want one. At this point I realize this place won't stay in business much longer and promptly leave. The only redeeming quality is its location so I'm excited for when it closes and something, anything replaces it.

After a disappointing experience at another spot, I decided to stop in here after reading some…read morereviews and taking a chance. The service was on point, Sobia didn't not hesitate to greet and take my order. The jalapeño burger was absolutely off the chain -- perfectly grilled, juicy, and packed with flavor. The fries were cooked just right and complemented the meal perfectly. Finally, a meal that actually felt worth paying for today, even if it was "just bar food." Definitely a must-stop place to try!!!!!

The bartenders are friendly, very easy on the eyes, and are simply downright excellent people. Now let's be realistic. If you're looking for a fillet mignon. This is not the place. But if you're looking for good burgers, good sweet potato fries, an excellent Reuben, a monster salad, and a chicken quesadilla that's loaded, and a crazy loaded jalapeño thing, this place is for you. If you're looking for Michelin level cuisine and waitresses that scrape the table cloths during your meal...yeah, no. I've seen a few of the comments talking about individual situations, and I can say if you're looking to be a jerk, then you'll probably be treated like a jerk, then please don't come back and the rest of us will be quite happy not to observe your drama. I would put the Dam bar in the top 5 of all bars in Kane County. And the number #1 pub in Geneva. And we have a lot of good pubs in Geneva too. If you're looking for a casual place to watch the game, then the Dam bar is highly recommended. Thank you for reading my feedback.

Naturally, it's not the best for quiet - it's ON the tracks - but it's part of the station so you know you won't miss your ride! That's just what some friends and I did, grabbed a drink after hopping off the train. It's nit much to look at, being a pretty utilitarian "bar", but it gets the job done and the prices are nothing crazy. Oh, and the staff is friendly as well! It's nothing to write home about but it checks the box - good enough for me!

What I liked about it was the games they have on hand to keep you entertained: NES Classic (Duck Hunt!) and darts were enjoyed throughly by us! The downside: the bartender, during our visit, was less than pleasant. And I couldn't figure out what his deal was because I went to the bar once and ordered two rounds: one (beers) for us and a second (shots?) for a friend and her friends at the end of the bar - a serendipitous meeting then and there! His mentality was one of treating me as if I'd never been to a bar before and "testing" me on my beverage orders. It was quite odd. Nonetheless, we had a good time but will probably hesitate on a return visit.

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.

As far as this place has rampant drug abuse and fighting, that is total bullshit.
