Willow Springs, Illinois - bar 410 of "666 Bars of 2017" is "Judy's Friendly Taphouse" ... a SUPER "Run-A-Way Bill" bar flair award winner ... building from 1920's and a bar since the 1940's ... the seating collection is enormous, with a wall section of pinball game boards, plus a back from from the 40's ... #RunAwayBill #666BarsUSA #WorldsLongestBarCrawl #DUSA2017 09.08.17

Rafferty's Irish Pub - Caprese burger and tots

We recently celebrated my son's christening on the patio at Rafferty's Irish Pub, and it was such a…read morewonderful experience! The weather was just as lovely as the food, drinks, and service. Delia, Ethan and her team went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of and that we could simply enjoy the day with our family and friends. I highly recommend Rafferty's, whether you're looking for a great night out or a place to host a private event. Thank you again to Delia and the entire team for making our celebration so special!

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!

I'm such a fan of this place, from the staff, to the food, to the friendly and welcoming owner, all…read morethe way to the chef who came to my table to thank me for complementing the food - which was outstanding and clearly made with craft, care and attention to detail. Ok, let's talk about food. I ordered the braised short rib and my daughter got the kids mac & cheese with tots. The short rib was plated beautifully and generously portioned. Flavors of the short rib were rich, meaty, seasoned cleanly. The supporting medley of crazy fresh veggies (asparagus, cherry tomatoes and portobello mushrooms) added a light crispness to the dish and balanced out the rich beef so well - LOVED IT. My kid's mac & cheese was fantastic. The cheese sauce is clearly made from scratch and the tots fried in beef tallow dialed them up 10x. Go here. This is an absolute hidden gem. Not to mention super clean, decorated for Halloween.

I'm so glad there's finally a new neighborhood bar like Caraways in Countryside! From the moment…read moreyou walk in, the owner and staff make you feel welcome. They're incredibly friendly and actually take the time to remember their customers, which gives the place such a personal and community feel. The atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable, and perfect whether you're meeting friends or just unwinding after a long day. They have a really good selection of draft beers and cocktails, so there's always something great to try. The food is amazing too -- definitely beyond what you'd expect from a neighborhood bar. One thing I really appreciate is that they use beef tallow to fry their food, which gives everything incredible flavor and feels like a healthier, more traditional option compared to seed oils. This has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I keep coming back just to hang out, grab a beer or cocktail, and enjoy the welcoming vibe. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!
