The Taproom has a few things on tap but ironically most of it's in bottles and cans to be honest. Also there's food. You can get more than just the usual greasy fried things. Came in and it wasn't that crowded. It's got the bar and a few tables, and these happened to be enough. The atmosphere is pretty chill except for some crazy regulars. A few TVs so it's good for watching games. It's about $5 a pint. Figured we should get something on tap since it's in the name. They have Yuengling among others. It's about $8 for a burger and side, and they have a Beyond Burger. They seasoned the hell out of it, so while you get salt you won't get any meat. Has plenty of beers and a pretty okay amount of choices to eat. It's got a happy hour. They're open later on Fridays and Saturdays.

Not that my burger was bad, that wrap looked delicious and I was told it is. This wrap was served with fries. My burger was cooked as requested, medium well, tender and juicy. This burger was served with fries as well. The calamari was good as well. Slightly battered. The restaurant is clean and the ambiance is nice. Our server waa nice and very attentive.

We stopped in to Lucky Scottie in for a pre-show dinner and we were greeted quickly and seated soon thereafter. The service was amazing and the food was terrific. The calamari was absolutely delicious. LOVE that they have a pre-show menu so we were in and out quickly. We both got the burger special and it was delicious. I had a chocolate martini and my husband had a Manhattan - both drinks were perfect. The owner, David, is amazing. He's everywhere and never stops moving. His team is so professional and quick. The must all be exhausted at the end of the day. My husband and I were talking about how we don't come up to Waukegan for show because the drive from home (1+ hour) is such a drag, but we both agreed we'd come more often just to have dinner at Lucky Scottie beforehand. Five stars - definitely recommend for a bite before the Genesee Theater.

Kind of divey but cleaner inside. The prices are pretty cheap mostly. Basic looking bar. It's actually bigger than it appears from the outside. There's enough room for big groups and parties. Has basically just lots of drinks. There's some beers on tap and lots more in bottles and cans, so great variety. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail. There's a pretty okay choice of liquors. Has no food menu basically. They may have those frozen pizzas. For sure it's better than expected. It's located on Washington Street at Jefferson. This is mostly chill except when there's games or music on they have a few times.

The service might be slow but it's friendly usually. Came in and got seats at the bar. It's a place that's been around awhile and looks like it. The bar from the outside appears it might be closed up. For sure though. it isn't. It's about $6 for basic cocktails, whiskey or whatever. Has no food except chips. They let people bring in stuff. Has some rough old school charm. It's located on Greenwood at Hickory. This is great for watching games or whatever.

I'm not familiar with this area but I happened to be in town so I searched "cocktails near me" on…read moregoogle, and this place had 4.5 star rating. It also appeared to have several vegetarian/pescatarian options so I checked it out. It's 5:00 pm on a Wednesday and there's only one other customer in here. I ordered the calamari appetizer and it appears to be breaded and fried frozen calamari - the onion ring type. The liquor and beer selection is very limited. Nothing too great here except a couple of halfway decent bottles of scotch, surprisingly. The Yelp reviews star rating is much lower than the google reviews for whatever reason. I didn't see that until after I got here and sat down. There is Mexican music playing and the bartender is having a conversation in Spanish with the only other customer here. They seem to know each other. I was expecting a bit more from the google reviews and photos but as I said, I'm not familiar with the area. The calamari was served with a bland creamy orange colored sauce. Maybe I should have ordered the shrimp. No paper towels in the men's room but there is soap at least. The service was good but I was the only one there after a short time. It was $35 for 2 servings of cheap cabernet and a frozen calamari appetizer. I still tipped 20%. I probably would not come back.

A lack of good places around it certainly helps it. You can get a few healthier bar food options. Chill place when it's early. It's kind of far from a lot of other things, so it's mostly the same few regulars. There's Bob And Anne's close by, but that closes early though. Good prices. It's about $5 to get well whiskey. Food is actually amazing for a bar. There's even a few vegetarian options. It's about $8 for a Beyond Burger. This comes with potato chips or another side. Of course there's plenty of traditionally greasy stuff to get. There's pizza and wings that are popular. Good stuff as far as what to get in a bar. It's located on Greenwood as you can tell by the name obviously. There's slots and plenty of TVs, so it's got lots of entertainment, and there's food options for vegans and vegetarians.

While I consider myself a foodie, I had little interest in driving around the Waukegan area the night I visited Anastasia's. At first it appeared to be a great choice--myriad people in the bar area talking, eating, and reacting to the televised game. I ordered a glass of wine to start; the pour was rather skimpy. Tempted to order another, I realized a single glass was on the border of my daily alcohol per diem?! I decided to forgo the pizza special for wings and cheese curds. The resulting dishes provided a healthy amount (see picture), however, taste (as other Yelpers note) was average. When you rack up $55 for cheese curds, wings, and a glass of wine, AND you leave feeling 'meh'--for me, Anastasia's is an easy, "Well, I tried it..." experience. I think my next two visits for work will be branching out to the surrounding area for alternative dinner options.
