Our yummy  Bloody Mary
Cheri H.

I am so far behind in writing this review!! We came back to Illinois in March to visit family. We heard about MC Tap and then my husband did some research. We love bloody Mary's so we thought we would drive from Rochelle (we are from AZ) to order one or two. We were met by the best Bartender. John was very friendly, waited on us as soon as he could. Very upbeat and personable. A rare thing in the year of 2024. The Tavern/bar reminded me of the old time taverns back in the day when you want to get out of the house and go have a drink. Or like a lot of taverns up in Wisconsin . I thought decor for St Patrick's day was a nice touch but truly it's the bar area and lighting that gives this place the character that I love. MC Tap is bigger than it looks from the outside. It has a back room where people were playing pool. The inside not only had a big bar area it also had some tables because they serve food too. The cook who I watched work the flat top grill and the fryer also with a great attitude. Her name was Jordan and boy did every piece of food she cooked was hot and looked delicious! John gave us a menu and the people next to us who did order a hamburger and fries said it's the best. We just got done eating before we came but we were tempted to order even though we were not hungry because boy everything looked delicious! We did pass on the food but told John we would be back. Overall this place is a gem because of many reasons. John and Jordan are so personable and hard workers. The food looks amazing. TV's with sports. Great music. What a great place to escape to or eat. We will be back hopefully in July!!

Best burger baskets around and cheap drinks. This is the epitome of a dive bar with a great atmosphere.

Best bar in DeKalb County! This is me and my friend's favorite bar to go to. Great service and fun,…read morefriendly crowd

Ah, good old Cub and Spanks…read more.. Now I've only been coming here for the past couple of months, but they fulfill a couple of requirements I require in a bar. 1) cheap drinks. And I don't mean this place is the kind of establishment that serves drinks in red solo cups, they serve them in regular plastic tumbler cups, and they're not bottom shelf garbage liquids either. A Jameson and Ginger ale will set you back a whopping $4. I feel like I'm stealing from the bar when I drink here! This is a good thing. 2) conversational level of crowd noise. This place has never been so loud that I couldn't hear the person I was sitting with, granted, we haven't come here on a Friday or Saturday night, so consider that the asterisk. I prefer a place where u don't need a bullhorn to talk to someone 3 feet away. 3) shuffleboard table. This place will always have a special place in my heart since I popped my shuffleboard cherry here on September 30th after closing out Charter Fitness. However, they've since replaced the old board with a new-fangled board with the prison bars that come up in the middle to avoid free plays, and the table is but crooked. Not that I'm a cheapskate and try to play for free, but the sand gets stuck in the holes so when you start a game, you have to manually push the bars in in order to allow your pucks to slide freely from end to end. I know, I know, #firstworldproblems 3) jukebox. Since the beginning if time, man has attempted to push forth their culture on those around them, and this is the perfect way to do it. You can even control the jukebox from your phone! Well, your smartphone at least. I don't think your Motorola StarTAC is going to help you out here, nor will your Nokia 8200. 4) regulars. You will see the same people day in day out here, whatever day of the week. They may or may not remember that you had a conversation about whatever you had a conversation about, but they're friendly. Or you can chalk it up to this place being a townie bar, but I won't call it that. Come to Cubbies, sidle up to the bar, and maybe drop a buck on a game of shuffleboard or two. If I'm there, say hello and challenge me to a game. I might show you a thing or two. Or not. I've only been playing for a couple if months...
