    Small part of their beer selection and neoprene can carriers!
    Amber G.

    Pizza is great! Good size for two to share or one hungry guy! Pretzels are HUGE, can get salted or sweet raspberry! Two or three can definitely share a pretzel! They have such a huge selection of different of specialty beers from different local and distant breweries, both canned and on tap. They are connoisseurs so they will help you find a drink you like based on what you tell them you already like. You can also buy cans to go! Outdoor patio is set up for social distancing and also dog friendly! Ordering online for pick up is also an option!

    I came here Friday night for the First Friday in Downtown Aurora. I absolutely love this place and Friday had a pop-up with Birria Tacos and they were fire. They were accompanied by the Double Key Lime Pie and the Passion Fruit Sour and they too were amazing. This place is a gem and a wonderful addition to the downtown Aurora vibe. Live music, beer, food, great staff, and an even better experience. Please do yourself a favor and come here

    We have been wanting to try this place and finally got the opportunity yesterday when we attended the Sticker Show event they were hosting. Stickers and beer you can't go wrong! Dora was so helpful and got us to sample a few of the beers they had on tap. The atmosphere was very upbeat and happening. They also had a DJ which added to the experience. All of the customers whether they were seated inside or outside were having a great time. They have a large selection of beers on tap and a wall with a large variety of beers, hard seltzer's and some wine. This is an excellent place to take a date or hang out with some friends. They also have many cool food pop up events that we hope to try in the future. We didn't get to try any of their food items this time but we will be back. We ended up walking out with some Blood Orange Pomegranate Hard Seltzer and some India Pale Ale Button Pusher. Looking forward to going back and trying some more of the adult beverages.

    Top notch service. Plenty of beer selection. Best time to go is when StrawberriesBBQ is serving up BBQ in the back!

I believe this is the only neighborhood bar left in Aurora area I would go regularly

    An old school place that feels like someone's old house you crash at after a big ass bash. DeKing's…read morecertainly looks more like a house than a bar so it makes sense. It looks small from the outside, and it's not any bigger on the inside, so it's tight. Cheap ass booze and pool. These often combine with each other. Bar goers used to those newer places may want to hold their breath. It certainly has that old bar smell that defines a classic. The combination of cigarette smoke, stale beer, and a little piss. Only a few beers are on tap, and they're crap. The better stuff is in bottles and cans, including Old Style. Correct, that's what's considered a good beer. It's $2.25 for a big can. There's a pool table in the middle of the bar and patrons often get in the way. Simply no room to move around here. The good thing is this always feels crowded because of this. Have a good time but it's not a good idea bringing too many people because they can't fit. It also seems they finally got rid of the rotating hand towel in the bathrooms so they're getting modern. They have lots of good specials going on and it's pretty much any night of the week.

The End Zone is a bar that obviously has a sports theme. A lot of the basics. The prices are cheap on most things but it's of course crummy quality. Checked it out later one night and we got a few of the best items. It's got things that take forever after ordering. They may be used to people just having cocktails because the food sucks. Basic dive bar kind of crap. There's a few better things, but have some cash on you. It's about $6 for cocktails. Whiskey and whatever. Also get food. It's about $9 for appetizers including the pretzel sticks. Has the obligatory greasy stuff like any dive bar. There's wings and other things. Has a few okay things about it. It's open later even on weekdays so get your drinking and eating on. They're open all the time but go in the afternoons to avoid crazy traffic or whatever.

    Two stars? I must admit that I wouldn't have come here if it wasn't for the rest.com coupon, but…read moreglad I did. Ok, so the place smelled kinda bad when I first walked in, but I didn't noticed the stench after a few minutes. I can't even put my finger on what kind of bad. It was a Saturday afternoon, and there were a few people (I peg them for regulars) sitting by the bar. The service was great! The bartender lady took good care of us and was attentive even though we were the only ones not sitting at the bar. Nachos with beef - REALLY GOOD nachos! I was surprised by this awesomeness of this appetizer. The chips were deep fried and slightly puffy. They were loaded with ground beef, beans and cheese. You can also get them with chicken or steak instead of beef. Italian beef - Pretty good, but wasn't a fan of the fresh cut fries. The onion rings were huge and I would order those rather than fries next time. There were plenty of TV's with different sports on them and a few pool tables.

    We LOVE this place for the same reason we love Wisconsin supper clubs…read more No-nonsense, no frills, no B.S.! Just good food, good drinks, pleasant people and what the hell else do you need? Went there for the Friday Fish-Fry. EZ Parking. The place is vintage (that means OLD with CHARM)-The room is warm and intimate-yes you might have folks you dont know sitting with you at community tables. Not to worry--everyone is nice here! There's a long bar, with EXPERT Bartenders on duty. Nawt on tap, but they are better stocked than you might imagine--beers AND booze. Don't freak out when you find out the prices-they are as old-school as the surroundings! (meaning VERY VERY reasonable). Get your drinks and find a seat. In the southwest corner of the room, there's a small table where you'll place your order-check the brief menus on the table first. There's a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card. Don't whine-the prices for dinner are SO reasonable, if you order the MOST expensive thing on the menu at $15 your surcharge will be 45¢. Make sure you remember your table number (each table has a prominent card on it). A runner will bring your food out to you. Make sure you leave a generous tip in the jar on the ordering table These are plate dinners, no ala carte. You'll get coleslaw and a roll with your plate. Paper plates, napkins and plastic utensils on the table. You'll get Tartar sauce or Cocktail Sauce with your dinner plate per your order. There are Appetizers available--I had the mushrooms, and they were, without a doubt, the BEST breaded 'shrooms EVER! With excellent Ranch dressing. The friends we were with, (regulars who hipped us to this place in the first place) say the Fries and Onion Rings are fab, too. Next time, we get the Mozz Sticks--if they are as good as the 'Shrooms...YUM! Wife had the Breaded Jumbo Shrimps 5 to an order. She's admittedly finicky about her Shrimp, and these passed her palate with flying colors. You can order extra shrimps at $3 per if you please. STILL reasonable. I swung with the Breaded Walleye-Absolutely fabulous! Great Tartar sauce. We both had Baked Potatoes, and THEY were fab! Plenty of Butter on the tables, and you get sour cream on your plate. No desserts-Go to the bar and get something sweet!! The entire experience is "home-y" and most pleasant. Didn't think I'd ever get to go to an old-school "fraternal club" thing like this again--but here it is! Don't know if the general public is welcome on other days than the Friday Fish Fry, but it was so nice there, we're thinking of becoming members-apparently you dont need to be Luxembourgian to join. We've been to enough posh joints, with a bruised and bloodied AMEX card to show for it--It is SO refreshing to go to a place with incredibly great vibes, delicious food, a shockingly fine bar, and ridiculously reasonable prices. Slow your roll, dress casual, and patronize this place for an EXCELLENT seafood feed on a Friday night...
