The theme…read moreof the restaurant is a bit confusing, somewhat between a cowboy type bar and Italian restaurant, with a wide variety of food options that range from burgers to pizza to standard bar fare to steak to porkchops. Service is fairly quick and friendly, and you have the option between enjoying the outdoor seating, indoor casual italian restaurant feel, or cowboy bar area. Overall food was as expected with the cheese curds being crispy, though not the most amazing cheese. The Tater tots were crisp and standard. The Spicy chicken sandwich was a good size but not too spicy. The sausage pizza had plenty of cheese with a good level of sausage for the price, with a slightly more tasty sauce with basil and parsley to give a little more flavor. Overall, solid option in the area for a meal, which isn't too challenging to park near.

Have to say it's not much to look at. The drinks are the main thing. Basic looking bar in a mostly residential area. It's the second home for a lot of regulars who live around here. That makes sense. Not a whole lot else is around. Of course they won't ever have to worry about parking. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey and mixed with whatever. Basic. There's free popcorn. Good prices compared to other bars. It's located on Higgins at Major. The closest transportation center is the Jefferson Park station.

The reason we love this place is because the place is nice and modern with a nice comfy decor, they have an EXCELLENT whiskey and bourbon selection amongst all other spirits, but mostly because of the SERVICE! The staff, from the owner to each of the bartenders, they treat you like a long time friend. The drinks pack a punch and the ambiance is always upbeat. They strive to provide different events weekly and even nightly. They have a back patio for private parties or you can host your event inside. This place is just great, but Uber since parking is street parking and common sense dictates you should. See you there, and let's enjoy a drink!

Also it's convenient to the Metra so you can hop up here. The hours are kind of weird. A place like this is mostly for locals. It's pretty convenient to get to by public transportation though because it's close to the Metra station. This is also close to Jefferson Inn, another local place for cheap drinks and good times. Lots of beers on draft and plenty more in bottles and cans. There's usually some kind of specials on drinks or whatever. Last time it was $5 Jack cocktails. The food menu is limited to chips and stuff. For sure it's a good place to get drunk on the cheap. It's just not open Sundays for some reason. That's the only bad thing.

This time I decided to go in right around 1 am and I was only planning on staying for about 15 min because I was waiting for a friend to pick me up at the train station across the street so I wanted to kill time i know that they were open bc I saw the manager (shorter guy black hair )come out with a beer in his hand and drink it in front of the business while talking on the phone loudly. When I walked up to the door it was locked and the bartender looked confused .. so I tried to call them on their phone and they both. Looked at me as if I'm committing some type of crime because I was asking them why I couldn't come inside . They both told me to fuck off and kept the door locked . Extremely unprofessional . The manager could have Atleast came up to me and made up something to not be rude but he didn't even bother doing that . The bartender looked confused but I only put 5 stars so they could see this . You guys are ridiculous.... Idk about ever coming back again and I'll be letting everyone know about this . I never been locked out of a bar in my life and i dont think I'll be referring anyone to stop at this place ever again. unprofessional. hope u lose all ur business

A bar within a bar inception…read more Nightshade is the basement bar of Moonflower. We came to the opening weekend to check out the vibe. There was a healthy amount of folks coming through, but not too crowded. It's dark, closed off with a smaller bar and also additional washrooms below. Vibe is sparse - at the moment, it's simple with the centerpiece of the red glowing bar, side bench seating, a few lamps off to the side, painted in a dark green/black floor to ceiling color. I think the reason to have this secondary space is the potential to do more fun, experimental drinks. Though space is cozier, it's nice to see seating was designed to accommodate groups too. I think it would have been easy to talk to other table groups if the music was just a tad softer. Son of a Gun - it's a tortilla chip in drink form. It's savory with a hint of cilantro. Sneaking Suspicion - nice apparent flavor of chamomile balanced out with a slight, creamy sweet flavor of yogurt. If you're into exploring unusual flavors and forms, Nightshade is a place to check out, and of course Moonflower offers another menu so you can do 2 in 1. Kitchen closes at 10pm.

We order salads, less than a minute after we ordered our entrees, but everything was served together, on a 2-top that wasn't big enough. A manager came by the table and asked how everything was.

Thoroughly disappointing because it was served cold. I'm shocked by the reviews, since this was the single worst dining experience I've ever had.
