The recommendation that this spot was worth a drive from the city--even from the Southside--is from people who don't have either discerning pallets or fine-dining experience (or both). Decent food plated as if their to-go business is stronger than the dine-in base, but the place just doesn't give off a good dining vibe! Add "okay" service, and you get a review like this: "Bocce's Bar & Grill is just okay."

I stopped in on the day before Thanksgiving on the way to our daughter's place in Chicago. Barry and Paula could not have been more cordial and welcoming to an out-of-towner passing thru. The burger was outstanding and the atmosphere in the bar was very comfortable. It happens that Barry and I are distant relatives so meeting him was cool as well.

PROS: the food is good, establishment is clean, and they have decent Happy Hour specials. CONS: extra charges for drinks and added gratuity of 20% for anything over $100! We sat at the bar both visits, both times had wings, the Bavarian pretzel and cocktails-all of which are good. This visit we arrived almost at the end of Happy Hour, I ordered a lemon drop martini but requested Tito's vodka - which there was an up charge and I understood that from the beginning. However upon getting our bill, I noticed we were charged for 4 martinis (instead of the 3 ordered - equaling $56) and a 20% gratuity charge. I did question both and was told, the 20% gratuity charge is stated on the menu - which we've never noticed either visit so maybe it's in a small font somewhere or in an inconspicuous place but either way we didn't see this obviously reflected so be aware. Also, charging a 20% gratuity for a couple sitting at the bar is a little ridiculous imo. The bartender did take these charges off of our bill (it went from $134 to $87) so a significant change but it's a shame you have to be put in the position to even question their honesty and integrity of their business- I think people expect more from a small business and that's why we go to these places. So though their food is good, there are plenty of other establishments that have comparable food and prices but better service. We won't be coming back here.

It was ridiculous why the music needs to be blasting so nobody can have a conversation. I was with three other people and I know I only heard maybe half the conversation of the nite! The good news was I was able to walk up to the bar and get fast service even though the bar was full. Now for another downer: being an Irish establishment, I ordered a corned-beef sandwich that was terrible! The beef wasn't sliced but rather ground up and was loaded with salt to almost be inedible! Anybody with high-blood pressure that shouldn't have salt shouldn't order this! I was told that they have really good hamburgers which I should have listened to that advice. I didn't see pizza on the menu which is just as well, seeing Beggar's is across the street and is the bomb for pizza where they couldn't possibly have better pizza than Beggar's! From now on if we go there it will only be on a weeknight and hopefully the music volume will be conversational. A good thing is that they have Yuengling Beer on tap that was just introduced to the Midwest!

It's about $12 for a specialty cocktail which is about what to expect for these. Because of the prices we only got a couple. I got the Main Squeeze Margarita. This is made with lime, orange juice, thyme simple syrup, triple sec, and 21 Seed Valencia Orange Tequila. As for the food it's pretty meaty. There's burgers and meaty pizzas. It's about $11 for appetizers. We got the Chips And Salsa. A pretty good amount of chips and small amount of salsa in a cup. This was pretty basic stuff without much of a kick. For sure the beers and cocktails are great. It just has basic food to be honest. This is located close to the Metra station.
