You can also order your own party food to the bar! Jim was so nice. He helped us set up and take down. He and the other bartender were quick behind the bar so no one ever waited long for a drink. We had about 40-50 people and the party room was a great size! 100% recommend Slagers for the easiest party ever.

It's the only place we could find on Yelp that had some kind of bar food around the area, and since we were all "starving" we decided to check it out. There are only about 9 items on the menu, and we decided to order about 8. Haha It's all bar food and between 6 hungry adults, we devoured everything on our table. My favorite and most memorable item on the menu were the corn fritters. The best way to describe it is smashed up corn, battered and fried up. SO GOOD! We each had 2 beers each, their selection wasn't that great but they had Blue Moon and Anti-Hero, which we stuck to. It's a dive bar, small, cozy and I'm sure that's where all the locals hang out. They have quite a few TV's and there is some betting machines in there too. By the time we left, around 9pm, our bill came out to around $60 including tip. WOW! Now that's what I'm talking about! Cheap drinks and good food.

Excellent bar food to share as well - the nachos plate is truly one of the better bar nachos I've had, with loads of melted cheese and plenty of toppings. The ceasar salad was great too with actual fresh lettuce (sometimes hard to get at a dive bar). The spinach and artichoke dip is tasty and delicious when consumed hot and fresh. The tots and fries are great - the crinkle cut kind. Drinks are pretty decent too! They make a great margarita and aperol spritz. A fun suburbs find!

We came the first week of December about 6 pm on a Saturday night and the place was packed. Only downside is that there isn't much seating if you do have a larger group. We call ahead so the bartenders expect our group and they're always prepared. One of the bartenders has long curly dark hair and she's awesome! She was very attentive to our group and and was lively behind the bar. She was flipping bottles and catching them while making our drinks, just overall a great bartender. Prices are incredible by the way. I think our mixed drinks were $6 or $7 and they were strong! This is a dive bar and you get the full dive bar feel in the best way when you're here. The decor around the holidays makes it feel extra cozy. They randomly were passing out green balloons at one point!? We had a bunch of fun. There's dart boards and even karaoke on some nights! The location is very convenient, steps away from the Metra train! Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a fun night.

Rafferty's was truly an unforgettable experience. I haven't seen this much unearned superiority…read moresince a guy named Connor explained whiskey to me like his family personally invented Ireland. The atmosphere was very "we're better than you," which is ambitious considering half the room looked genetically connected to famine survivors and dock workers. The confidence level in that building deserves scientific study. I walked in expecting casual dining and somehow ended up in what felt like an audition for "Medieval Lords of the Suburbs." The staff acted like they were protecting ancient bloodlines instead of refilling ranch dressing. At one point I honestly wanted to ask: "Sir, are you judging me... while wearing a polo shirt with barbecue sauce on it?" The energy was aggressively holier-than-thou for a place where the main cultural contribution is fried appetizers and vodka seltzer. To be fair, the food was fine. But the side of racial superiority was a little harassing for my ego. If you're looking for a place to drink with historic levels of racism and naturally redheaded bartenders, this is the place for you!
