I love this place. If craft beer is your thing, it's worth making a trip here. The bar is located…read moreon a one way street in Blue Island that has other bars and restaurants in the area with a real chill vibe. Met the owner (Dave) and he's super cool. He showed me their patio (which is cigar friendly - yay!) and their large selection of beer and whiskey. For food - they rotate between a couple of vendors, so depending on the day you could have Detroit style pizza (don't knock it until you've tried it) or tacos and other fare. Candidly I dug their thin crust pizza, but I don't think you could go wrong with anything. They do have a couple of TVs, but I spent my time on the patio. Also if you're a pinball fan - they offer a number of machines to choose from which is a nice touch. One more random point of information - they have a sour beer that tastes like Skittles. Give it a shot! Big fan of Rock Island, and I'll be back for sure.

They have good non-alcoholic options such as mocktails and NA beer. Service is good. They have…read moregaming and pinball and rotating menus of food depending on the day.

Hidden gem in midlothian! This place is so great and unexpected for this strip of midlothian…read more Inside it looks very clean and new. They have the self service wine pouring stations where you get a card and can choose which wine you'd like to pour and how much. They had a pretty good selection of wines and I had a few reds I really enjoyed. They also have a selection of snacks like charcuterie boards and flat breads and some dips. All the food we tried was tasty. Service was also prompt and friendly. Bathrooms were very clean. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a cute and classy date spot or girls night out spot!

Been here twice now and had a great experience both times. The cocktails are amazing. The…read morecharcuterie is good too. The service is great! Try a smoked cocktail under glass! It's amazing to have a place like this in Midlothian and I hope they never leave. Local gem. Highly recommended!!

Came to this humble looking bar in Alsip. Dakota Inn has been a long time hangout for locals. It…read moremay not be pretty, but it's got cheap drinks, which is the most imports thing. Also kind of dusty and musty inside. The parking lot also sucks. Basic dive bar. It's got what one would expect. There's beers, greasy meaty food, and old regulars. Gets busier on the weekends with more fun. It's about $4 for a basic cocktail, such as whiskey. Food is mostly greasy and meaty. It's about $10 for things like burgers and other sandwiches. Basically it's beef or fried chicken. There's also wings. Among the sides are fries. The kitchen often isn't even open to be honest. Even have to be careful pulling into here because it's a tight fit. It's got a cramped parking lot. This is located on Pulaski close to the Jewel-Osco and other things.

My husband is from Chicago, and every time he's in town, he loves visiting his usual spots. Today,…read morewe stopped at this place, and it was our first time bringing our daughter. He went inside and started setting everything up on the patio when the waitress approached him and told him that children are not allowed. Sadly, our daughter wasn't able to enjoy a place that her dad has enjoyed for years. This was especially disappointing because it's the only place where we've ever had this experience.

Basic looking bar and grill in Oak Forest. Cooper's is one of the local favorite hangouts. It has…read morebecome even more because the bowling alley was ruined by a fire several years ago and this picked up former customers from there. Had a lot better prices before. This is a divy bar and things are too expensive for quality. Chill place with mostly regulars at the bar. It's nothing fancy. The bar actually looks like it could be closed looking at it from outside. Has better prices before everything. It's about $8 for a basic mixer. As for the food it's mostly greasy ass junk. They like to fry vegetables. It's about $12 for the Appetizers. You get a choice of a few at once. All these come in a basket. There's mushrooms, onion rings, and zucchini. A pretty great way to sample a few. The rest of the food menu includes burgers and pizza. For sure it's okay to hang out with a few. It's located on Cicero Avenue at 152nd Street. The bar looks terrible but it's an okay place to go to so whatever.

Stumbled upon this local treasure near home, and I'm feeling like I hit the jackpot! No need for a…read moreroad trip this time, folks. I love our adventures, but it's nice to stay local and indulge in my quest for the ultimate Breaded Pork Tenderloin.

I am a bourbon drinker so it was nice to know this was a black owned bourbon and wine bar. The owner was very nice and all of the patrons had very good energy. I was under the impression that many people there were regulars, because it had such a familiar energy and welcoming. The bartenders were also very nice and made some pretty good old fashioneds if you ask me. Overall a good time and would be happy to return.

The bartenders were nice and made suggestions on drinks. The only reason I gave a 3 is because the…read moredrinks are overpriced. Ordered 3 juices and a Jameson and ginger ale, $32. The Jameson is $18 for a drink....got a different drink $18 for that drink as well. I'm convinced they don't sell anything under 18 unless it beer or wine. I do not need to patronize this establishment again.

UPDATE 6/27/13 BACK OPEN AGAIN -- SAME GREAT OLE....COME ON DOWN…read more UPDATE: Freeh's has been closed since first week in May -- much to the dismay of their regulars. this week (May 16?) a sign was added saying "reopening soon" all blinds are drawn, and word on the street is that the owner is deciding whether to carry on or not....bar can't be resold without bringing it up to code, (handicapped accessible) so we can only hope the owner feels the love and re-opens the dive doors! Love the burgers (chips, no fries) at this little hole-in-the-wall. Steps from the metra electric, it's the perfect meeting (or dropping off point) when friends from chicago brave a ride to the south burbs. Good juke box, good bartenders (who tend to be there whether it's their shift or not) , pint draft beers and made-to-order burgers in a basket are their calling cards. (The kitchen hours just changed, with a cut off of 8:00 p.m., i believe during the week.) If you remember the first Freeh's you are officially old, as this one's been there for years and years and YEARS. It's in a charming little old downtown (my chicago friend just moons after the eternally for sale old bank building next door which wold make an uber-cute loft space if anyone that hip wanted to live down here (and fight for the zoning variance that would require.) anyway, this is a dependable, nothing fancy, diverse crowd-drawing neighborhood joint where you can't go wrong. They watch the usual sports -- but if there are no sports on anything goes -- including Stooge-a-palooza and Son of Svenghoulie, so be warned. Only downer - they are closed on Sundays unless the Bears play.
