They had motorcycles all over the wall and a really charming space. The outside was funky, but since the wedding was in December, we didn't really take advantage of the outdoors.

This was my first time at Twisted Pin, and I was very impressed. The prices are pretty high but as…read morea non-bowler, I am not sure how they rank compared to other places. On the other hand, this place is also a little more high end compared to your old fashion bowling/dive bar places. The location was very easy to find. We used Google Navigation and it lead us directly to the place. If you miss the entrance, it might be a little annoying to backtrack but no big issues. Parking was no issues and it is very big compared to the size of the building. We showed up on a busy Wednesday where it is penny pins so you only pay a penny per pin you knock down. Essentially...the worst you are, the cheaper your game will be. Inside the building is very nice and clean. There are two entrances..one is a "restaurant" and the other is the decent sized arcade and bowling. There is a self serving beer tap. And they do serve food. They do a little star less due to the prices of the food as well. It is better than your traditional bar/bowling food but it is a little more expensive. Also, I do enjoy the service of the self serving beer tap. They had a lot of selections of beer, 1-2 seltzers, 1 cider and ~5 wine selection. Also, they do have a "limit" of ~32 oz where the bartender can allow you or less depending on how you act. I do appreciate that so while you can drink feely, no one is getting drunk. I think we were paying ~.60 cents an oz and it does tell you how much your drink will cost as you are pouring. Also, they do have a small water station will is greatly appreciated. The arcade is decently sized. They do have a lot of selections of games but it is not a place where I would go just for the arcade. The size is good for after bowling or while you are waiting for your lane. Overall, I am very impressed with this location. Food, self serving beer tap, and arcades... I am fan of Twisted Pins and I would be back in the future.

Needles lbs to say, we were sick of them overstepping our area, cussing, and taking selfies near us so we never finished our game. I recommend considering appropriate lane placement for families versus young groups of kids.

I recently hosted my wedding day at The Bridge Lemont. Their space is located in the heart of…read moredowntown Lemont. The space is an old antique warehouse that was transformed into a wedding venue about five years ago. The venue feels lofty and rustic yet grand. We fell in love with the space for its raw beauty, convenience to expressways, and how much variety their one stop venue offered. They host events from weddings, showers, corporate events, community events, and more! For weddings, they have an indoor & outdoor ceremony space, cocktail hour area, reception room that can seat up to 250 people, bridal suite, and more! Their website is very transparent for pricing, booking availability, and photos of their space. They host an annual bridal expo featuring most of their preferred vendors and offer small booking discounts throughout the year. We worked with a number of these vendors for our big day and had a very positive experience with each! On top of the venue/ceremony fee, they do also provide bar package costs/booking. I could not recommend The Bridge more for your special day! Our guests raved about how beautiful everything was with the convenience of being in the suburbs.

And when I asked if they had a food menu I was rather bluntly told they were not a restaurant. But I could grab food from any of the places in the area and bring it in. And since I don't drink alcohol, my contribution to their till was two cans of coke. Plus my fee for the event. They have a room in the back overlooking the river. Ticket sales were limited to 50 so assume that's capacity. High power lines kind of disrupt the view, but welcome to Batavia. It is what it is. The rustic doors which separate that space, while attractive, were a bit ineffective at blocking out sound from a rather small group in the front bar.

The live music provided a great atmosphere and the BYOB was also a bonus. The location is easy to find and the owner was there the entire time with us. We had someone replenishing paint and bringing us napkins as needed and they had cupcakes from a nearby bakery for sale which where some of the best I have had. Overall it was an enjoyable experience. Just a few things that kept me from giving it five stars. The painting area was a little too cramped. I was elbow to elbow with the people on either side of me, which made it a little hard to move around and paint. The actual brushes we used seemed to be a little worn, so they didn't paint as well. Maybe omitting one or two chairs from the tables to provide extra painting room would make it a little more comfortable? Just a suggestion, otherwise I would definitely recommend attending one of their painting socials.

Our waitress seemed overwhelmed with the amount of tables she was handling and just overall grumpy. I can understand that doing separate checks for a large group might not be fun, but she just seemed irritable the whole time until we gave her a decent tip. She directed us to get our own water from the self-serve station. I did like that I could do the wine flight from the table vs. they only offer the 6 wine tasting from the bar. I was a little disappointed that no one explained which wine was which, and I was left guessing when I ordered all sweet wines and a couple that looked very similar. When I later wanted to order a glass, I apparently picked the wrong one, but none of them were horrible so that was OK. I also ordered the small charcuterie plate, which was a perfect snack plate. Some of our party ordered flatbreads and wraps, which also looked really good, so I would definitely try this place again. This place doesn't seem like they're that good at accommodating large groups as they only have small round tables they had pushed together, but we made it work. They seemed a bit understaffed for a Saturday afternoon. If you like sweet wines, my favorite was the Sweet Purple Lady, followed by Blackberry. I took a bottle home.
