What I really like is that the flight had five beers rather than just four. Everything I had was delicious. From the sours, to the ales, to the IPAs, there is something for everyone. Staff was super friendly and attentive. What I really think this place could benefit from is having board games or table games like connect four. While the environment was lively, I do love a good board game and brew. Would highly recommend and come back.

So, a few hours before a wedding in Island Park, very limited things to do to occupy our time (how…read morelong can I really look at the old ferris wheel?), so we stumbled upon Local Ale House. This is clearly a local bar - it seemed everyone knows everyone. Randomly, you can gamble on horses and on quick draw. For $10, the quick draw game provided us a half hour of entertainment (and $4 of winnings.. or, said another way, a $6 loss). So, we were certainly a bit overdressed, but everyone was so friendly, it was not awkward or uncomfortable at all. The beers are unique - from Blood Orange Ale to Apricot to your standard Bud Heavy in a bottle. And, since it was happy hour, every beer cost $3.50. I do not think we could have found a better deal. It's clean, and unlike most bars, it seems they actually use a dishwasher for the dishes. Random location, but a cool hang out, at least if you're trying to pass the time before a wedding at Bridgeview.

It was loud, slightly unruly, and some patrons were friendly while others were a bit out there, all things you'd come to expect at a bar on St Patrick's Day. Once my date and I spotted an open table, we quickly snagged it. After grabbing a few beers and putting in an order of onion rings, to my surprise I ran into an old friend who I haven't seen in years! It was great to catch up with him while we people watched.. and watched.. and watched. When the onion rings came out, I was pleasantly surprised just how darn good they were! They were perfectly battered, crispy, and clearly used some thickly cut onions (which IMHO, is one of the keys to a great onion ring). One of my favorite parts of the evening was when I put on my favorite Biggie song on the jukebox. I quietly enjoyed watching half of the room nod their heads and vibe to it while the other half looked around wondering who the h*ck put the song on. On the way out, I met the owner and must say, he was a super nice and friendly guy. Thanks for a fun evening!

My wife and I tried to visit recently for an early afternoon drink. The bar's website is "Under…read moreConstruction" and has no information about hours. But on all the social media sites I checked, including Yelp, opening time was referenced as 12 noon. When we arrived at 12 the door was locked. We walked around for a while, returning 10 minutes later. This time the owner opened the door and told us to come back at 1. When my wife explained that various sites indicate the opening time at 12 he seemed surprised, but not especially concerned nor apologetic, and simply repeated that we should come back at 1. I was about to mention to him that since we live about 20 minutes away and that traveling back and forth would be impractical, as would be walking around for 50 minutes, perhaps we could be permitted to visit somewhat earlier. But by then, the door was closed. It's a shame. The bar has so many glowing reviews and it looks like a cool place. Too bad we'll never see the inside.

For the appetizer, we ordered Philly Cheesesteak Rolls with cheese sauce and it was deliciousssssss!!!! For our main course we got a Bourbon Bacon Burger (added egg) with truffle fries and the Carne Asada Tacos. The burger and truffle fries was so flavorable, can't wait to have that again! To be honest, there was something missing in the carne asada so it tasted okay. Not only did we enjoy ourselves, but there was also a sip and paint with Bluemoon the same day we were there. That was a pretty cool little event! First time doing one! The hostess Gwen gave us two Bluemoon glasses and we painted them while we ate. I can definitely say I'm no artist but I tried my best lol! So definitely want to come back and try other dishes!
