I had the Kaboom Burger with cheddar cheese and crispy onion straws, seasoned with a great spicy kick--absolutely delicious. They also have a great drink selection whether you're in the mood for craft beer, cocktails, or soda. The seating is comfortable, and the outdoor patio is a great touch with plenty of extra space.

Right…read moreaway the bartender acknowledged us once we sat down and whipped up four drinks in record time. At first glance, it seems like a quaint little bar and that's it. But I was pleasantly surprised by the food too. I got the cheeseburger sliders which were really good. Moist, tasty, and the perfect size for a slider. I ordered fries on the side and wasn't expecting the portion size. They gave an entire basket of fries that easily could have fed the party of four adults I was there with. Crispy, flavorful, loved them. The cheese curds were also great, paired with a sauce recommended by the bartender. I wish I could remember what it was, definitely some type of sweet/salty almost teriyaki sauce. So, so good. I don't drink alcohol much so I can't comment on the drinks but everyone we were there with seemed to enjoy them. So much so, they ordered several. Great vibes here. They had the front window open for a beautiful sixty degree day. Music was on. Everyone there both staff and other customers were all really nice and we had a great time. Turns out our bartender was the owner of the bar and he was just fantastic. Attentive but not overly so. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a great place for a drink and a bite to eat.

A place mainly for drinks. They seem to prefer cash so bring some of that. Chill atmosphere. It's pretty much a basic bar. There's the long bar on the side along with a few tables. Has the typical posters on the walls of the typical beers. You can also play a few slots. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. They have a pretty okay amount of whiskey if nothing in particular that's anything special. Has a pretty typical layout of a dive bar around here. It's located in downtown close to the Metra station. This is usually a quiet bar even on the weekends.

A great place for watching games. There's plenty of TVs tuned into every and any sport. Best thing here is the atmosphere. It's all about the sports. There's a lot to check out on the walls. Framed pictures. Signed jerseys, whatever. Also there's betting updates you can check out that are updated constantly. Lots of beers on tap. It's about $4 for a pint of PBR. There's a few craft beers too. Food is the expected burgers and pizzas. Some healthier options here too. It's about $15 for the Veggie Burger. This has a grilled chipotle black bean patty, topped with avocado, pepper jack which I left off, and pico de gallo, on a vegan pretzel bun, and comes with a side. Of course you can get greasy real burgers. There's also cheese curds, and there's ghost pepper curds at happy hours. Good place to hang out and watch games. It's located in downtown close to the Metra station. There's a few other locations that are pretty much the same thing.

Will go back to check those out for sure!
