Overflow is Awesome!…read more This is a 21+ bar two doors down from Riverside Pizza & Pub in South Elgin. Riverside owns Overflow, and I believe it was originally bought to keep guests on the waitlist entertained and imbibed. Get it? The overflow of the river, lol. Well, Riverside has gained its own cult following. There are a bunch of regulars who frequent in the afternoon, and from what I hear, they get a pretty lively late night crowd, especially on the weekends. There is no kitchen at Overflow, but you can order anything you'd like off the Riverside menu, and they will walk it over. They offer the same food specials, but Overflow does not have drink specials. There are dart boards and slots, and the tables are totally flexible to move together for big groups, in fact, Overflow is a fun spot for an after work gathering or actual catered party. I really like the vibe there, and Dave is the daytime bartender, he adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Check them out!

With the good food, the fantastic service and tge dive bar atmosphere I can say with certainty that we'll be back. Five stars.

Everything was flavorful and well put together, and it made for a great dining experience in the moment. The atmosphere was also nice, and overall it felt like a solid spot to grab a meal.

Still, based on taste alone, it was impressive, and I'd consider going back while maybe trying something different next time.

We…read moredid wait a little to get helped at first and the host wasn't around, but once we were seated things picked up. For drinks, I tried the lychee mojito -- it was strong but had really good flavor and was enjoyable. For an appetizer, we got the pretzels. They had a nice garlic seasoning on them and were pretty filling. These were good. For mains, we ordered the Hangover Burger, tenders, and the Bulleit Bourbon Burger. Everything was really delicious. My fries just needed a tad bit of salt, but the burger itself was cooked well (I asked for medium). The flavors were good, and the honey running down actually worked well with everything. Our waiter was also really good and provided solid service. Overall, a great experience -- will be back.

We ordered the Steak & Ale Pie (crowned with mash and gravy) and the Chicken Balti Pie. Both were delicious, but I think crowning the steak pie was definitely the right call. The chicken balti actually reminded me of the Taiwanese curry pastries (咖喱角) I grew up eating, which was a fun surprise. Very flavorful, and although the pies look kind of small at first glance, they are surprisingly filling. We also ordered the pickled egg -- basically a hard boiled egg with vinegar flavor. Tasty, though probably the most "normal" item we had. One unexpected highlight was the staff. Apparently many of the servers are freelance musicians, and they'll break out a guitar and ukulele song if someone is celebrating a special occasion. Very chill, friendly neighborhood vibe overall.

Frank Capalano was the reason we went in, but the cool vibe kept us there for a few hours. The vintage building looked great on the outside. The big brick building looked like there was some history behind those doors. We walked into a dark room with two levels, a big bar flanking one side of the room and a stage with a dancefloor. I could tell people have fun here. We snagged a small table and listened to the 4-piece band while sipping on an ice-cold beer. The bartender Chris was fantastic. He got busy but never forgot us. There was a popcorn machine which was great, but I was hoping for a meal or at least an appetizer, since I had just gotten off work. It does have the word PUB in it's name. Oh well, the music kept us too busy all night to think about food. The place seems as though it has gotten a facelift. It looks restored not renovated. Everything was super clean, which is always a good thing. I really enjoyed my night at The House Pub and would definitely stop in again the next time I am in town.
