Blue Island has a law that if you visit town you have to come here. I'm not serious, but maybe it…read moreshould be one. Natural Law is one of the better bars I would say, after checking out a few others in town. Has some very good drinks. The food not so much but it's edible mostly. Came in with my female friend. It always seems to have specials going on. We got the 10 ounce frozen machine drinks special. It's $5 every day. The one we got was the Malibu Berry, good stuff. It hardly tasted like there was alcohol. There was. As for food there's not much good. There's mostly typical greasy bar stuff. We had the Fry Basket. It's $3 so it's shit ass cheap. These weren't so terrible to be honest. Follow the saying of "you get what you pay for." In this case pay little and get something fairly okay. This place isn't like it's anything special but it will do if needing to get blitzed or if you're just watching people blitzing in a football game or whatever.

Ghetto, Ghetto!! Ghetto!! Me and my 4 friends went to Ravens place after seeing an advertisement on…read moreFacebook. According to the ad the time was 4-10. We got there at 5 to locked doors. The tv and lights were in but no one in sight. We called, there was no answer. More people started coming, they finally opened the doors around 5:30ish. We had to go through a TSA security style pat down, id check, and purse search. At this point I'm wondering what clientele are they used to where a patron has to be subjected to such a violation. All we wanted were some drinks and appetizers. Once we get passed security check, there was no hostess to tell us where to go since ALL the seats were marked "Reserved" so we go to the upstairs bar, same thing ALL the seats were "Reserved". Now our frustration is beginning to turn into a " oh hell naw" moment. We ask the bartender who was a lovely lady what's the protocol. She said all seating was bottle service only and everyone else had to stand up. We asked how much, she didn't know. Someone finally came back and said... drumroll... $600-$700 a bottle. Get the heck out of here with that b.s.!!! Why on earth would anyone who's not a drug dealer pay $600/$700 a bottle for a something that retails $35. I try so hard to support black owned businesses but crap like this is why I take my business out of the community. Poor customer service, false advertising, unorganized, and bad attitudes. I understand the pandemic has the restaurant business cash strapped but to take advantage of patrons with some fake bougee crap is a stretch. We ended up at Bourbon St in Marionette Park where we paid $80 for a 5 drinks and 4 appetizers. I really wanted to give my people my money but after that poor PR stunt me and my friends won't be going back ever.

My brother recently discovered Cuzin's and had been bugging me to visit with him. We visited on a…read moreSaturday afternoon and found the place practically empty. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender. I didn't get her name, but she was personable and affable. My brother was familiar with her since he visits semi-regularly. My brother loves both the burgers and pizza. He claimed the pizza rivals Fox's pizza in Beverly, so naturally I had to check it out. The pizza is good, but it's no Fox's!! We ordered double pepperoni, which was perfectly thin and crispy. It was a little too greasy for me, but other than that, I have no complaints. I also had an amaretto stone sour, which was delicious. My brother had a drink as well, but I can't recall which one. He always orders it, though, so clearly the bartender prepares it to his liking. The bar has a welcoming neighborhood vibe. The bartender knew some people by name or face, but everyone was welcomed with open arms. The bill for was about $45, which is pretty standard nowadays. The pizza was very reasonable ($18), which was awesome. There are slot machines in the corner for all the eager gamblers. Next time I'll try the burgers!

The pizza and chicken wings are a must. However, their menu had bunch of items that I really want to try. I cannot ride and not mention the bar service. My server Jess was amazing. She was attentive but not hovering and annoying. Had very good personality and I loved talking football with her.

Found out about this bar. It certainly isn't much but you can have a good time for a bit here…read more O'Connell's Pub Time is one of the many humble looking bars in Blue Island. Maybe it isn't anything impressive but it's still actually cool. The drinks are great and the food isn't as bad as it looks. Coming here after going to a few other bars in town it may actually seem great. It's a lot cleaner than a few others close to it. The bar isn't that big but there's enough room for groups and parties. A bit of confusion about this type of bar. It has an Irish name but the food is more like Mexican. A lot of the food is typical for a bar such as burgers, wings, and greasy fried meats. However they also have tacos. These actually seem to be the most popular things. It's about $6 for cocktails. They have the basic whiskeys. It's about $3 for tacos, of which you choose the filling. Of the choices there's beef, chicken, or just vegetables. Also other Mexican choices like burritos and quesadillas. These may not be quite authentic but they're pretty good stuff. Great place that's better than it looks. It's closed Mondays. There's more than just typical bar food with the signature item of tacos.

She then came to the person next to me and asked him if he was ok or did he need another drink. She then looked over at me and then walked away. Seeing how I was the only black person in there, I took it that she was sending me a message. I got up, stood next to my bar stool for a second to see if she was going to acknowledge me. When she didn't, I headed for the door. This is 2023 and I can't believe this type of behavior is still going on.

It certainly isn't anything impressive but for around here it's actually a pretty okay place. Has lots of great cheaper drinks as well as some not so bad food. The bar also has entertainment like slots. A bar that happens to have a kitchen. It's more so of a bar than a restaurant. That means the drinks are better than the food it seems. Among the bigger of the bars around here. Has plenty of room for groups and parties. Came in for the drink specials going on. We got some of the cheaper ones like whiskey. Food is the usual stuff fried and greasy. It's about $6 for chips and salsa. Also they have free popcorn but how fresh is it. The rest of the menu is greasy burgers and mystery looking meats. Casual place that's great for watching games or events. It's located at Western and Grove. There's lots of room for parties.

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.
