Ah, good old Cub and Spanks…read more.. Now I've only been coming here for the past couple of months, but they fulfill a couple of requirements I require in a bar. 1) cheap drinks. And I don't mean this place is the kind of establishment that serves drinks in red solo cups, they serve them in regular plastic tumbler cups, and they're not bottom shelf garbage liquids either. A Jameson and Ginger ale will set you back a whopping $4. I feel like I'm stealing from the bar when I drink here! This is a good thing. 2) conversational level of crowd noise. This place has never been so loud that I couldn't hear the person I was sitting with, granted, we haven't come here on a Friday or Saturday night, so consider that the asterisk. I prefer a place where u don't need a bullhorn to talk to someone 3 feet away. 3) shuffleboard table. This place will always have a special place in my heart since I popped my shuffleboard cherry here on September 30th after closing out Charter Fitness. However, they've since replaced the old board with a new-fangled board with the prison bars that come up in the middle to avoid free plays, and the table is but crooked. Not that I'm a cheapskate and try to play for free, but the sand gets stuck in the holes so when you start a game, you have to manually push the bars in in order to allow your pucks to slide freely from end to end. I know, I know, #firstworldproblems 3) jukebox. Since the beginning if time, man has attempted to push forth their culture on those around them, and this is the perfect way to do it. You can even control the jukebox from your phone! Well, your smartphone at least. I don't think your Motorola StarTAC is going to help you out here, nor will your Nokia 8200. 4) regulars. You will see the same people day in day out here, whatever day of the week. They may or may not remember that you had a conversation about whatever you had a conversation about, but they're friendly. Or you can chalk it up to this place being a townie bar, but I won't call it that. Come to Cubbies, sidle up to the bar, and maybe drop a buck on a game of shuffleboard or two. If I'm there, say hello and challenge me to a game. I might show you a thing or two. Or not. I've only been playing for a couple if months...

On our first night in St. Charles for the Jazz Fest, we headed into The House Pub to hear a great…read morehorn player. 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.

Grabbed drinks here with a couple friends while roaming around Geneva. Overall, this place is…read morejust... fine. 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.

An old school place that feels like someone's old house you crash at after a big ass bash. DeKing's…read morecertainly looks more like a house than a bar so it makes sense. It looks small from the outside, and it's not any bigger on the inside, so it's tight. Cheap ass booze and pool. These often combine with each other. Bar goers used to those newer places may want to hold their breath. It certainly has that old bar smell that defines a classic. The combination of cigarette smoke, stale beer, and a little piss. Only a few beers are on tap, and they're crap. The better stuff is in bottles and cans, including Old Style. Correct, that's what's considered a good beer. It's $2.25 for a big can. There's a pool table in the middle of the bar and patrons often get in the way. Simply no room to move around here. The good thing is this always feels crowded because of this. Have a good time but it's not a good idea bringing too many people because they can't fit. It also seems they finally got rid of the rotating hand towel in the bathrooms so they're getting modern. They have lots of good specials going on and it's pretty much any night of the week.

We LOVE this place for the same reason we love Wisconsin supper clubs…read more No-nonsense, no frills, no B.S.! Just good food, good drinks, pleasant people and what the hell else do you need? Went there for the Friday Fish-Fry. EZ Parking. The place is vintage (that means OLD with CHARM)-The room is warm and intimate-yes you might have folks you dont know sitting with you at community tables. Not to worry--everyone is nice here! There's a long bar, with EXPERT Bartenders on duty. Nawt on tap, but they are better stocked than you might imagine--beers AND booze. Don't freak out when you find out the prices-they are as old-school as the surroundings! (meaning VERY VERY reasonable). Get your drinks and find a seat. In the southwest corner of the room, there's a small table where you'll place your order-check the brief menus on the table first. There's a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card. Don't whine-the prices for dinner are SO reasonable, if you order the MOST expensive thing on the menu at $15 your surcharge will be 45¢. Make sure you remember your table number (each table has a prominent card on it). A runner will bring your food out to you. Make sure you leave a generous tip in the jar on the ordering table These are plate dinners, no ala carte. You'll get coleslaw and a roll with your plate. Paper plates, napkins and plastic utensils on the table. You'll get Tartar sauce or Cocktail Sauce with your dinner plate per your order. There are Appetizers available--I had the mushrooms, and they were, without a doubt, the BEST breaded 'shrooms EVER! With excellent Ranch dressing. The friends we were with, (regulars who hipped us to this place in the first place) say the Fries and Onion Rings are fab, too. Next time, we get the Mozz Sticks--if they are as good as the 'Shrooms...YUM! Wife had the Breaded Jumbo Shrimps 5 to an order. She's admittedly finicky about her Shrimp, and these passed her palate with flying colors. You can order extra shrimps at $3 per if you please. STILL reasonable. I swung with the Breaded Walleye-Absolutely fabulous! Great Tartar sauce. We both had Baked Potatoes, and THEY were fab! Plenty of Butter on the tables, and you get sour cream on your plate. No desserts-Go to the bar and get something sweet!! The entire experience is "home-y" and most pleasant. Didn't think I'd ever get to go to an old-school "fraternal club" thing like this again--but here it is! Don't know if the general public is welcome on other days than the Friday Fish Fry, but it was so nice there, we're thinking of becoming members-apparently you dont need to be Luxembourgian to join. We've been to enough posh joints, with a bruised and bloodied AMEX card to show for it--It is SO refreshing to go to a place with incredibly great vibes, delicious food, a shockingly fine bar, and ridiculously reasonable prices. Slow your roll, dress casual, and patronize this place for an EXCELLENT seafood feed on a Friday night...
