    GOLF simulation? Watch sports? And eat good food? Fore we go! A great place to do all three. Food…read moreis good. We got a trio appetizer dish w/ cheese sticks(packed with cheese), fried pickles and buffalo egg rolls(packed with flavor). I know I might get some kick back on this but the smoked wings tossed in maple bourbon sauce....had me feeling like I was at output(haha). The wings were good and fell apart off the bone as we picked them up off the dish. Pulled pork was good. And the steak bowl was packed with steak and flavorful, salsa was definitely on point. I couldn't see going anywhere else in the area for a bowl. Drinks were drinks. We kept it basic as it would for a dive bar vibe. Service was attentive and the servers watched your drinks as they walked by..... if you were quarter a way they'd approach to see if you need another round. TVs everywhere. If you love to golf they have about 7 golf simulator stations kinda tucked away but still in the mix. Golf was $40 an hour at the time of this review. I'd say this is definitely a neighborhood bar with great food. The only real complaint I have is we ordered tequila, soda water and lime. And when I got my bill they charged me for soda water. This was a first. Although not a big deal for me. Still a great time.

    The food is delicious! The fajita bowl and the chicken tortilla soup was amazing! The bartender was…read moreso sweet and so funny. Quick service and always cold beer. Will definitely come back!

    Got some pretty good drinks and mediocre food at this club. It certainly is better at certain times…read morewhen you go. Tommy's Place is one of the popular hangouts in Blue Island. Better to go earlier if you want to save on admission. With the crappy cover prices it adds up and isn't worth it because it's often lame to be honest. Found out about it while looking for places around here to go. It's not a great area for certain so the options are limited. This was one of the few bars or restaurants we had not been to yet. Annoying things they have about it. They often charge a cover on the weekends. Go earlier and it can be avoided. It's about $6 to get a whole pitcher on Wednesdays. Choose a house liquor and add fruit juices. Pretty great value. We imagined the food would be worse. It's about $6 for chips and salsa, pretty basic. This turned out to be actually okay. Of course they have the kitchen closed most times so they usually won't even have anything. They also have the usual bar food like burgers and fries. Have to say it's not as bad as it could be. It's closed Mondays. They charge a cover later on the weekends.

    They need more bartenders. The service is horrible. The bartender on 9/19/25 was a little off and…read moremaybe needed some help. Asked my order twice and still got it completely wrong after being sure to serve everyone around me first. Then gave someone else

    My bestie and I came here for lunch Thursday afternoon, not too many people (but it was also 2pm)…read moreatmosphere was warming, awesome decor, they had football on tv, music was decent, waitress/bartender was AWESOME (shoutout Marisol) she took our order pretty quick, was friendly and welcoming. We got our appetizer, food and drinks quick. Everything was 10/10!!! Highly recommend Americanos . As far as time of day in my opinion according to my schedule that time of day would be best time to go if u want easy going vibe without the hustle and bustle

    Saturday night and the restaurant was less than half full. That should have been our first warning…read more They were out of two of the things we ordered but we were only told after the fact; the waiter wasn't knowledgeable of what was available on the menu. Then they brought half our table's food about 20 minutes before the rest. The worst part was when the waiter was rude to my son. My son, who is 7 years old and has special needs, was getting out of the booth to let his cousin out so he could go to the bathroom and suddenly the waiter came up to drop off the second half of food. I'm not sure why the waiter didn't go to the other side of the table where everyone was sitting rather than the side where three people were getting up, but my son accidentally bumped into the waiter. The waiter rudely said "don't touch me!". I stood up to move my son away from him and then helped the waiter distribute the plates. The waiter said he could do it but that was seemingly not true because not only was he rude but he tried to give us plates of food we already had received 20 minutes earlier. I told him we already had those orders and he was very confused. Really a terrible experience.

    We recently hosted a party in Lawlor's back room and it was perfect. 60 people fit just right for a…read moresit down meal. It's a perk to have your own bar and bartender. The staff was attentive and accommodated our every wish and went out of their way to make us happy. The food was delicious; we ordered baked chicken, Italian beef, potatoes, mac n cheese, green beans and salad. The price was more than fair and the portions were incredibly generous, loads of guests even left with containers of food for the next day. One of our guests commented that the room was the perfect mix of a sports bar and nice restaurant. I would highly recommended them for any special event.

Lawlor's is one of the many such places around here if it wasn't already obvious. A little farther away from the Beverly bars and hangouts. The menu is basic and there's pretty good prices. Basically we walked over here after hitting a few other of the area bars. It's actually in a new location. The older one used to be located closer to 111th and Pulaski. It was a true dive. This one though is a lot more modern looking. Has the same drinks but with food that's also edible. There's still a charm to it though. It's about $5 to get Jameson. There's also plenty on tap. It's about $7 for the Pretzel Bites. Kind of basic with a side of cheese sauce. I used mustard. The rest of the menu has meaty items like pork chops and things like that. Good place to come hang a bit. It's in a new location about a mile away from the old one. This is worth checking out getting away from the more popular places on Western.
