Avoid the slot machines--total rip-off. I put in $20 and somehow only got $17 in credit. Threw in another $10, to confirm I'm not missing something, did one spin, and my balance dropped to $2. Feels like a straight-up scam. Thanks, Illinois, for cramming gaming machines into every bar. On the bright side, the bartender Chelsea was fantastic--super friendly and not at all to blame for the sketchy machines. Just come for the drinks, not the games. read more

QBar - Slot machine - Pool Halls Near Me - Warrenville, Illinois

My friends and I came here for the first time over the weekend. Our first impressions weren't the best. It just seemed like a small bar that you would pre-game at before actually "going out." However, after exploring around, there were actually so many fun things to do! There were free darts, pool was only $1 a round, and there was even karaoke. We ended up staying for almost 4 hours! We met a few locals who come here often and one of them even bought us drinks. We really enjoyed our time here. The only complaint would be that the drinks aren't the best in terms of options, but there's more than enough to get the job done. We would definitely be back in the future to have another chill game night with friends. read more

Love this Bar! Feels like your local Cheers with great Bartenders. Always make a point of stopping up on a Saturday to visit Kelly! She's always smiling and so incredibly welcoming! read more

Cheap beers- between Rosatis and a good taco bar! Got pool darts and golden tee! Metallica Ping Pong machine! Lots of TV's good service! Just another Dive bar to hang! Enjoy! read more

Great place to hangout and have fun! The staff are awesome people! You can order pizza from kv or chips. Also you can order rosati's to be delivered there. read more

2nd foray: $1 pool with weighted cue sticks. I made a nice break with an 18 oz. Turns out they do have Mexican food. You ring the bell and order from next door. Chips & guac $5, tacos, etc. The bathroom smelled very clean and had toilet paper. The bartender was friendly. I still arrive at the same conclusion: This place is strictly for serious drinkers. read more

My wife and I stopped in here on a Friday afternoon to kill some time. We walked into a large open ceilinged bar. There were a lot of pool tables and other bar games. In the middle was the bar area with a large double sided L shaped bar with an island in the base. The bar took up a lot of area and is only practical if the bar is packed. In fact they had a section of it closed off when we were there. There were a lot of TVs as the large rack of remotes on the island and the banks of receivers scarily displayed on wire shelving indicated. The place itself is in some serious need of repair and maintenance. The cash register on the island was plugged into a power strip that was run across the top of the island under some tappers. Fortunately it appeared the tappers were no longer in use so we didn't have to worry about beer dropping into the overloading sockets. The bar and the stools needed updating and repair. Cracks in the upholstery and the uneven surface of the bar were kind of uncomfortable. There was also a smell in the bar of stale beer and mold. When I asked about restrooms, I was told there were two; one on each side of the bar. I went to the one closest to me. It was tiny! One stool and urinal which appeared to need cleaning pretty badly. This also appears to be a local's only place. From the time we walked in, most of the people there kept looking at us and whispering to each other. Except for the guys that kept leering at my wife and weren't shy about it. When I returned from using the restroom my wife told me she was uncomfortable in there alone. Over all the service was okay. We didn't spend more than an hour here due to being uncomfortable, so I don't have any long term experience with the service. I'm also not sure if they serve food or not. I was never offered a menu and I didn't see anyone eating. Overall, we killed an hour and I might go back if I'm in the same neck of the woods and I needed to kill some time. read more

It's a great place, kind staff, reasonable prices and tons of activities to do!!! We love playing darts here! read more

LOL!! I went to HotShots with some friends and one of our friends went up to the "dj" and requested a newer song. It was pretty lame hearing high school and middle school songs .."its time for the percolator" and JaRule so BORING! The girl "djing" went nuts when our friend requested a song. She went on a long rant how she was a big time dj in the city and djs all over Chicago and was super offended to hear a song request...Ok you are djing in a crappy dive suburban bar, we dont care, you arent cool. The drinks here are ok, but I dont think Id ever return. The only reason I came here was because a friend that I met up with lives nearby, but there many other bars around this area to settle for this place. Its rather divy and outdated and felt dirty. Like the person stated on another review theres 0-3 people maximum on the dance floor. read more

I had to write an update from the last time we tried to come here. The floor plan is much smaller now and a lot of the games are gone. I'm sure it's still a good place to grab a beer but it was just disappointing for us we just went home. read more

A hole in the wall type bar but I like it. Good place to go for drinks, talking or darts. The darts are free so that is pretty fun. They will have things like DJs and karaoke but it is not the best place for that. Beer is cheap! I buy $8 pitchers of miller light and play free darts. Cheap night with friends. I know they don't have food but you can bring food in from Mexican place or Rosati's pizza. Both places are in the same parking lot. read more

Love this place for a party or just drinks, pool, darts, etc. The bartenders do an amazing job and are so friendly.

I used to go here but they got rid of the 9' pool tables. Now they only have the ridiculous little tables that nobody plays on. I drive 40 minutes to a place that has real pool tables instead of going here. read more

This place reeks of booze and bad decisions, but it's dirt cheap and has PBR draught. $5/hr for pool tables. 1 PBR and 1 Bud Light was $4.25. The place is complete with a DJ taking requests, spacious dance floor and a waitress coming to the billiard tables to take orders. You kind of get what you pay for. The pool tables have definitely seen better days, but I'm not here to hustle anyone. It's better than the $10/hr most places charge. read more

This place is alright. Cheap drinks, DJ, pool tables, and lots of regulars. Not a bad place to meet up with people for some serious pre-gaming before heading out and getting into some late night trouble. Holla!!!™ read more

Warrenville's cornucopia of culture...the bar formerly known as HOTSHOTS..... Really the only reason why I even goto this place is for a drink or two after work every so often. I for one HATE townie bars with a passion filled with your typical bro's, hoes, wannabe gangstas, middle aged working class trying to stay hip leaving the wife at home and proceeding to try and pick up 21 year old ladies. I don't really have a problem with personality flaws from the patrons until they.... A.) Get drunk and start a fight...which happens 1 outa 4 times I have been here. B.) Let you know that this is THEIR bar and get off their pool table. Sometimes leading into point (A). The staff is meh.... Anyways KVShots is a typical townie bar with nothing special going on unless your FAVORITE song is.........LMFAO's Shots....because you will hear said song at least 10 times a night. read more

Great place for an afternoon beer and some billiards. I've only been there once, so I'm not sure if it gets crazy at night or not, but it was nice to sit around and chill out during the afternoon and not have too many people hitting you with the butt of the cue sticks... read more

Great prices, amazing service and friendly atmosphere! If you are hungry order the pizza it's great! The staff is very friendly and you definitely will enjoy the night! read more

Brought a large group in there tonight only to be charged $2.00 per glass of soda water. I get no specials due to Covid but continuous charges for soda water? I won't be back there again. I am sure this group spent enough money tonight and honestly Covid has affected many and not just the bar business. Way to take advantage of people. Not cool! read more

Nice atmosphere to drink and have fun. They have billiards, bags and darts. Drinks are strong :D Drinks are cheap too!! Great simple hang out spot. read more

QBar - First try - Pool Halls Near Me - Warrenville, Illinois

This place is a dive, and by that a real dump. The crowd is thin and only caters to locals that they call friends. They hold on to their grudges like they hold on to their one ply toilet paper vendor. It once was booming joint but now the only thing booming in there is the sounds of the drunk locals asses. If you want a lonely crew of drunks that smell like they just turded, this is your place. read more

Another oversized pool hall and bar. It is located in a strip mall and maybe they get packed with locals on the weekends. The time I went place was dull and dead and the server was as friendly as a warden.They have some decent shot prices and the place is roomy although there isn't much in the room to look at. TV screens are way too high and their one big screen for football games as fuzzy as a peach on a warm sunny day in may. read more

This place is pretty good for a local joint. I don't care much for their bands or the cover charge. But the pool and darts are pretty nice.

Not the most amazing bar, but they have a TON of TVs, Djs and music, open pool tables, FREE darts, and the beer is cold. It's a good dive bar, very airy and open. Lots of activities and room to move around. My boyfriend is obsessed with the punching bag game, so it's an easy local pick for us (besides the hole in the wall bar I work at, ha) read more

Order absolut and cran, it tasted like absolute sh*t! The bartender saw me making my husband taste it too. He knew he was caught giving me $1 well vodka. If a woman orders absolut, you can bet your bottom dollar she's going to taste the shitty Skol, fake ass vodka you gave her. I left immediately. Won't be back. Ugh. read more

Nice little sports bar. Local yocal bar there prices are reasonable it gets busy, but not overly crowded. The bar is nice because it is very spacious. they have several pool table and my favorite 'free electronic darts', they also have a dance floor and bag's and boards. They bar is a bit dated, but none the less still a good time. read more

The owner is killing this place, I have been going there maybe 5 times a year for the past 10 years. I would go there only because they had lots of pool tables (non coin operated). There was a pool table there that had a rip in the felt for a year before it got fixed. The place has slowly fallen apart over the years. It is always too hot in there (winter or summer), the whole place smells like a sewer. The rest rooms are usually messy and the floors are urine soaked. I went there the other night, keep in mind this is an August night, the a/c was not on, and they have brand new tiny coin operated pool tables. That's the last straw, I am out of there. read more
