    It was our first time coming to Spirit Water for a Friday night Funnier By The Lake Comedy show…read more The atmosphere is very laid back, but festive with the lights and layout, and I love the comfy couch corner area. I appreciate that the place is dog friendly too. The owners and staff here are fantastic and make you feel immediately welcomed. They take time to educate you on their selections and share some of the unique history of this place. I enjoyed the bourbon, on ice, very much, and also tried a shot of amaretto and a tequila. I will definitely be back to try more of their spirits, as everything I tried was smooth, flavor filled, and just left me wanting more! Thank you, Spirit Water, and Funnier By The Lake Comedy, for a memorable Friday night experience.

    Thought we'd check this place out before heading to dinner. Great idea! Bartender Kevin was very…read moreknowledgeable and had great suggestions. Loved the fact that he asked if we had ever been - he gave us the low down and explained the drink menu. They have lots of different choices for beer & spirits. The Amaretto Stone Sour (receipt said 10 oz for $12 - it was more like 5 ounces) & Vodka Elderflower ($6) were both very good. They also sell spirits by the bottle, hats & other items. Great place to pick up something local! The place doesn't appear to serve food and they have a couple seating areas away from the bar both inside & outside where you congregate with friends. I will admit I had a tough time picking just one drink to have so I will be back!

    We stopped in on a Thursday night and had a solid experience overall. It was pretty quiet in the…read morebar area, which made for a relaxed atmosphere, and a good spot to unwind. We sat at the bar and service was a little on the slower side, but nothing that took away from the night. I had the beef sandwich, and my wife went with the burger...both were really good. They also have a Thursday burger special for $10, which is a great deal and definitely worth checking out. The draft beer is always cold, and they've got a strong case for one of the best sports bar setups in McHenry County....plenty of TVs and a great place to catch a game. Overall, it's a dependable go-to spot whether you're meeting up with a big group, hanging out with friends, or just can't decide where to go for dinner. A nice, easy choice with something for everyone.

There is a restaurant to the left side of the entrance and a banquet room upstairs. Food is always delicious. Today a girlfriend of mine split the Philly Steak Sandwich special. We also split the burger. It was much too much food for the both of us. Unfortunately I left my container behind with my leftovers! Shout out to Jess the bartender who has waited on me a few times. Friendly, great customer service and great bartender. Highly recommend!

    I have been here a couple times to buy cigars. The owner is a nice guy and seems very knowledgeable…read moreabout cigars. They have a good selection but cigars are overpriced. Now typically I don't mind when a cigar shop is a little overprice because you go for the experience. From the time you walk into the humidor and select your stick until you finish your cigar, you get to sit down with fellow enthusiasts and talk. The reason why I only offered 3 stars is because this shop does not offer that experience, smoking is prohibited in this store. The owner explained it is because they sell liquor and have gaming machines. I completely understand it is illegal to sell liquor, offer gaming machines and allow people to smoke in IL. Also, I am not telling anyone how to run their business, however a cigar shop that does not allow you to smoke a cigar in their store is not for me. It's a fine shop if you want to pick up a pack of cigarettes or cigar in a pinch. I personally would not pay the premium on cigars if they are not offering me a lounge to smoke in their store.

    Unethical, do not patronize. Agree that over priced. Additionally, I placed an order for a bottle…read moreof wine for pickup from Uber Eats and couldn't get in to get for 4-5 days. Called store and the clerk said it was already picked up. Not by me. He told me nothing he could do, so get a refund from UE. Contacted UE and they said no refund unless 48 hours within time store indicated order complete- I couldn't know they did. UE said store would have to scan my ID to release order. Called store, nope- they don't look at or scan ID. They said someone must've come in and "given my name." No way. They did nothing to correct or take responsibility. Avoid this place and shop elsewhere.

    I was originally gonna go to Dead End while out in Fox River Grove on a Metra trip a few weeks back…read moreto watch some of the NFL games, but when I realized I was running out of time till my next train would arrive, I checked this store out instead. Really good selection as far as microbrews go, but I thought it was a little bit of a turnoff that there hardly were any sales going on, vs. other stores carrying a good bit of microbrews and craft beer. Still, I have to give this store credit, since it wasn't bad. And I even picked one up to go. If you don't feel like trekking to say a Binny's or other grocery chain store(Jewel, etc.) to get beer, this isn't a bad local option to get craft beer at. I'd hope the owner would somewhat step up the number of sales they do, since I noticed much fewer vs. other independent stores carrying craft beers for whatever weird reason. Their wine selection also appeared to be good from what I saw of it, but I paid less attention to that section since I'm not much into wine.
