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...

If you want upscale drinks and high class atmosphere, I suggest you go next door. This place is…read moregritty, tenebrous and pleasantly elegiac...and I love it!! The first night I went there was to watch a Monday Night football game. They have a newer 60in flat screen and theater sound system was amazing. The bartender was kind enough to everyone to turn down the volume during the commercials so that one could hold a conversation.The beer was cold and the price was right...$2.50 for a 12oz domestic, $3.50 for the big bottle. I met a few people and engaged in some thought provoking and intelligent conversation. I went there with $20 and I crawled home with $10. I had so much fun that I went back the next night for the open stage. I was absolutely blown away by the talent!! The participants are people who regularly play with other bands later in the week. They were not just practicing..they were straight up jamming and knocking out the hits. They played everything from Bluegrass to Stevie Ray, to Prince to Eric Church. The acoustics might not be the best, but they have a really good sound system to make up for that. I could here all the instruments and the vocals and the bonus is I didn't go home deaf. At least not that night anyway. The bathrooms have recently been remodeled and were very clean. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and not at all annoying. If you don't want to be bothered, no one will bother you in this place. Being a female, sometimes that is hard to find. Whether you are homeless or you drive a brand new Mercedes...it seems everyone is welcome here. I moved to Rockford from Central WI, and while I don't get home as often as I would like to, this place is the next best thing. I will definitely be back!!

We finally tried this place after living here for over 30 years…read more We just got carry out. We had a pizza, it was just ok Pork tenderloin sandy was big & good Fries were nothing special Potato skins were dry Chicken wrap was fine Bill was well under $100 for a pizza, 1app & 3 sandwiches w/fries. We usually spend $125 or so at other places. We didn't get any drinks. We might try it again

Great food and beer. This is definitely a local bar, but they make everyone feel welcome. Very…read moreclean bar that is way too nice to be a dive bar. The food here has been great. I really enjoyed the pizza and wings. My wife loves the catfish which is the best I've ever had. My daughter loved the pretzel sticks. I'm very picky about my beer and I can tell they actually clean the lines on the taps because my yuengling comes tasting crisp and fresh. Good family place. Good for kids too .

I've heard so many positive comments about Fatty from my NIU friends! The inside is quite large…read morewith multiple event spaces to host parties as well as a large patio. We sat at the outdoor patio bar where they had two screens playing sports games. We started with a John Daley & Huskie Punch. The punch tasted similar to a painkiller which is tropical and fruity. The John Daley tasted like it had more tea than lemonade but it was refreshing. For food, I got the Honey Garlic Boneless Wings. I loved the flavor of the sauce and the medium order came as quite a big portion. They were very crispy and well breaded. My husband got The Fat Boy burger with a side of their famous Cajun Fried Potato Salad and Baked Beans. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The potato salad wasn't too spicy but tasted delicious. I see why it's so famous! Overall, this was a great summer hang out spot! I was thoroughly impressed by the food quality and atmosphere Fatty's has to offer. I will certainly be back with friends!

Traveling trough the area I hear the "I'm hungry" call from the back seat! It's our 4yr grandson…read morewanting food. Being just after the usual grazing time for him we found this establishment that checked all the boxes for the three of us. Outdoor seating as well as indoor seating was available, seat yourself style. We sat inside. The noise level was not loud at all. Perfect for table conversations. The menu had too many tasty sounding items. I chose the Fatty Melt with the Cajun Fried Potato Salad and Coleslaw. My wife had the Chicken Club Wrap with Onion rings and Beans (for me). The little had the 2 mini sliders with fries. Being family we share the sides and the onion rings were a hit. The number one treat in my book was the Cajun Fried Potato Salad. The bean had a good smoky flavor to them. Last but not least our server should get top billing in the review. Jordan did a fantastic job accommodating our requests and took the time to answer questions without feeling rushed. She made us feel more like a friend than a patron. Hats off to you Jorden! Thanks for making our visit enjoyable.

Had cheap drinks at this bar in Elgin. It seems like a good place to watch games. The Dive Bar…read morecertainly has an appropriate name. Actually it's better than it sounds because it's clean. There's fun things including a pool table. Even with the name of it we still think it's a pretty cool bar. It's one of the few not fancy looking places in this part of the city. There's a few parts of it with their own atmosphere and gatherings. Basically it has a couple entrances. One is where they have the pool table. It's about $5 to get a basic cocktail. We got something with whiskey. Main bar area is in the middle. The other entrance goes to another seating area full of tables. Here is where to go if not sitting at the bar. They sometimes have events such as live music. Good bar that's better than many think it would be. It's located on Highland at Grove. They're open late including both weekdays and weekends.

I like to switch it up on em! The atmosphere is fun and laid back and on weekends they have karaoke and these customers are passionate about their karaoke okay! The drinks are great and i basically know all the nighttime bartenders. They are such cool and down to earth people! And I can't forget the karaoke DJ, I think his name is Marcos! omg his voice is amazing! When he sings Tennessee whiskey I know he is singing it just for me! lol! The food is typically bar food, burgers, fries, wings pizza etc and Emilio the cook does his thang and he is so sweet.. Doyle is amazing.. a lot of regulars but we welcome all

Had some things at this local bar in Schaumburg that gets overlooked because it's hard to find. It…read morehas an out of the way location even though it's close to heavy traffic. The Hideout is an appropriate name because it's hiding in the middle of suburban wasteland. A limited menu because they're out of a lot. You can still get cheap drinks and food so it's something. Coming in here it wasn't crowded. It's located in what looks like an office park. There's a big parking lot and a few offices that look unoccupied. On the corner is this place. The inside is bigger than it looks and there's enough room for groups and parties. It's about $4 for the cheapest cocktails. We each got a margarita. A small one but these are strong enough. The food choices are lamer. It's about $5 to get an appetizer. We got the Chips And Salsa. Great stuff and it was spicy as fuckballs. The rest of the food is meaty. Great place for hanging out and getting cheap cocktails and food. It's located on Valley Lake. There's not much great for vegetarians.
