Overall the drinks were unique and fair priced to the quality and to other establishments in the neighborhood. Since it was early in the evening, the bar was a little bit quiet. As we were finishing our drinks, the staff informed us of the basement lounge seating. When we headed down, we were pleasantly surprised by the moody speakeasy feel and could see ourselves coming back on another day to relax in that space. Thank you to Foxy's Hideaway for opening and offering another great cocktail option in the neighborhood!!

Stopped into Foxy Hideaway when exploring the East Dundee area. The upstairs has a main bar and…read moresome table seating but the downstairs has a very cool speakeasy lounge. Our bartender, Sarah, took great care of us, told us all about Foxy's, and made small talk as we enjoyed our drinks. I got the Dubai Chocolate Martini which wasn't listed on menu but she said has been a new guest favorite. I loved the sweet tones and presentation on the rim but it could have been a bit more spirit forward. My husband got the Passion Fruit Vanilla Elixir w Hibiscus Foam. It was refreshing but a bit tart; the foam had great flavor though! She also gave us some salt foam to try from another drink which tasted unlike anything else I've had before. I was happy we stopped into Foxy's to sample their cocktails and appreciate their sense of elevated cocktails for the area.

The entire place was beautifully design and played into the concept well. I ordered the Fox River which was spirit forward, smooth, and subtly sweet.

This was definitely a favorite spot of mine and I'd certainly come back!

I've been here a few times with the guys and each time we love it. We've had the back room, with a big screen TV, all to ourselves and we've also posted up on the balcony.

I have yet to have a cocktail here that didn't wonderfully wet my whistle. And the same high remarks go for the staff, who are always welcoming and accommodating. I dare you not to become a fan of TDS upon your first visit! Will I be back again? Absolutely!

Out front, they have an amazing patio with plenty of adirondack chairs and tables. The gentleman who greeted us at the host stand was very welcoming and sat us at the bar. The inside was beautifully designed with a main, large bar and surrounding tables. I love the garage door that opened from the inside of the restaurant to the screened in patio. The menu had a good variety of food and drinks. I personally loved where they sat us at the bar because we were able to see dished that were ready for service. Everything looked amazing and I would certainly come back to eat! This visit, we got drinks only. I got the God is a Woman which was perfectly balanced, refreshing, and has great flavor. My husband got the Smoke Show which was also well balanced, smokey front note and spicy end note. The bartenders were super friendly and the owner, Kathleen, even stopped by to see how our experience was! This was a great spot to try out and I'll certainly be back to try food!

Good thing to know it's also like that inside. The main thing is the cheap booze, along with the occasional live music. Basic looking locally owned bar. It's almost like pulling into someone's driveway, with the gravel parking lot and the garage behind it. The bar doesn't look like it has much room inside, but it's bigger than it looks. A lot of basic beers mostly in bottles and cans. Of course there's a few craft beers like Goose Island. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey with whatever. As far as food, nothing really to be honest. It's got $1 bags of nuts. Also you can even buy cigarettes. There's also candy, gum, and that kind of stuff. Has a pretty chill atmosphere. It's mostly just a few locals in here. The place gets more fun on weekends.

The bar has a large beer and drinks menu with some great variety as well as its own in-house creations. My favorite part was the chicken breast sandwich.

There's fun things including a pool table. Even with the name of it we still think it's a pretty cool bar. It's one of the few not fancy looking places in this part of the city. There's a few parts of it with their own atmosphere and gatherings. Basically it has a couple entrances. One is where they have the pool table. It's about $5 to get a basic cocktail. We got something with whiskey. Main bar area is in the middle. The other entrance goes to another seating area full of tables. Here is where to go if not sitting at the bar. They sometimes have events such as live music. Good bar that's better than many think it would be. It's located on Highland at Grove. They're open late including both weekdays and weekends.

It now feels brighter and a little more lively. They've also moved the customer service desk and it's no longer hidden by slot machines, but it is weirdly placed behind the elevator. I don't think there was anything in this space previously. I wish there were better food options here - the fast casual option is just ok.. I honestly would not pay to eat here again, the prices do not justify, especially after gambling for a few hours. The slots have drastically improved in the last few months, way more of the new machines instead of those poor slots that were on their last leg. There are the occasional machines that have a sticky button or a chair that has seen better days, but overall, I think this place is on an upwards swing.

I've played craps at many casinos. Dealers are ALWAYS the best part (besides a hot roller). I am happy to throw some dealer bets down when the dice are rolling good as a way to say thanks! Now, if I'm down say $900-$1000, I'm in selfish mode and just trying to get back to even. Sorry dealers, you'll have to wait. All that to say...Stacy, the craps dealer, no fun, all business. Rules about where to put chips. Tossing chips at dealers is half the fun and they enjoy it! As I cash out after losing most of my buy in, she mutters loud enough for me to hear "thanks for all the dealer bets". Dealers like her should not be handling a social game like craps. I usually enjoy my time anywhere I go. If I go back to GVC and she's dealing at the craps table, I'll leave and go somewhere else. Very disappointing.
