Oh, Daddy. I like Catdaddy's…read more Catdaddy's recently went under new ownership. It's a new partnership that is mainly women. They are promoting themselves as, "A female owned space where women can let their hair down and have fun...We've got your back." They're promoting a safe place for ladies to have fun and not have to go it alone when feeling uncomfortable. The entire crew will have your back. It's a safe place. I met two female friends here for Happy Hour this past Friday. I thought I'd arrive early to secure a table, when I did the bar was already packed and it was just 5PM. I was greeted by a male bartender, who poured a good and refreshing Tito's with Seltzer. Pricing for a call brand was cheap. Not sure if it was a HH deal or not. I'll update that on next visit. The best way to describe, Catdaddy's is that it is an upscale dive bar. Its crowd was a good mix of ages, sexes and diversity. We were still there during the bartender change and the young lady who came on duty was also, attentive and friendly. There's no full kitchen, but they do offer bar pizzas, if you need a nosh to cut the liquor. I had fun, so I know I'll be back.

Worst bartender I've ever experienced at this place as I requested wine and was given sour/old wine…read morewhich means the bottle has been open for too long and wine is spoiled. She wouldn't open a fresh bottle and told me "all the open wines are old because they don't sell a lot of wine" so, my option was old spoiled wine or no wine. First in my lifetime a bartender refused to open fresh wine AND she didn't refund us for the returned spoiled wine. What an unprofessional, classless and disrespectful bartender. Been there several times with different bartender who was great. That one ruined the experience. Unfortunately. May 01, 2022.

I choose to sit at the bar in the room that did not have the open garage doors. The owners are the same as, The Regal Beagle in Godfrey. With that ownership at the helm, you know your bar grub is going to be good. They have a variety of Daily Specials, or you can order from the regular menu. I visited on a Friday and took advantage of the 8 oz Filet Special. It came with a side salad and 1 side. I choose Blue Cheese Dressing and Crinkle Fries as my side. The filet was super tender and they cooked it to a perfect medium rare. Only negative thing, I thought the dressing was thin and had no flavor for a Bleu Cheese. Service was just okay, the server/bartender took awhile to get to me and her check ins were sporadic. When I had an interchange with her, she was friendly and good. She just seemed to focus on other guests that she knew, better then myself being a first timer. Location is out of the way for me, but for those who live out in the boondocks, it is a great pub. Glad I experienced it and I just may be back for a burger or wings.

The food will keep you in longer. NO KIDS! NO TO GO! It's a fun lace to hang out. They will have live music. There is a separate motorcycle lot. Drive a couple of minutes away to see the Piasa Bird as well as the ice cream joint called Shivers. Also, go see the Miles Davis statue. Make sure to drive up the Illinois River Road. Before you leave, grab some merch!

Cheap, good food, and great vibes!…read more My husband and I finished date night with food and drinks at Fast Eddies. This place is normally packed on the weekends especially when the weather is nice. I'm guess because it was later in the evening when we went they weren't as crowded. There's always live music playing, someone celebrating their 21st birthday and good vibes. Staff was friendly, welcoming and made sure we were doing good the entire time we were there. Ordering food is all self service at the food station. You place your order then wait for your number to be called. They sell burgers, chicken on a stick, steak on a stick, chicken sandwiches, shrimp, and fries. Your food is up pretty quick. We ordered burgers, fries, chick on a stick, big Elwood and shrimp. We also ordered two long islands and a beer. All in all we spent about $60. The food was delicious, seasoned well and plentiful. The drinks were made perfectly. No complaints from me. I'll be back!

The burger tasted like standard frozen fast food,no real flavor, or freshness and the fries were just cold, nothing crispy or seasoned enough to stand out. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't good either. For a casino setting, I expected at least some effort or flavor. This felt more like a quick filler meal than something worth recommending. If you're hungry and need something fast, it'll do--but don't expect anything special.

The place was filled with local art and they did a great job at displaying it. They have an upstairs area that was servicing a food truck style food option to support other local businesses.

Ok, hear me out, I NEVER order thee kinds of foods, but I was feeling wild and crazy today and it paid off! It's probably one of the best salads I've ever had. I added chicken and it was perfect.

When I think of martinis, I think of Bossanova and when I think of Bossanova, I think of martinis…read more The two of them, just go together. I enjoy a relaxing evening sitting at the bar at Bossanova, sipping a Martini. The music is played softly in the background at a level that makes it easy to enjoy and still have a conversation. When I get hungry while I am sipping my martini, I like to enjoy one of their flatbreads, perhaps an order of Salmon Rangoon or a bowl of French Mussels. They're all delicious and will satisfy my hunger pains. The reason I took a star away is, when I ordered my Extra Dry Tito's with a Twist and Make it Skate. The bartender did not know what I meant by, "Make It Skate". I had to explain to her what that phrase meant. She did fairly well, but it wasn't a true skate. I'm confident her eventually master that martini skill.

It truly is a neighborhood bar and a true dive bar. D&T is within a mile from my home, so I thought I'd give them a visit. It's a typical dive bar. There was no bells and whistles, it's just a relaxing atmosphere with electronic darts, video games and a few gambling videos as well. Best of all, the drinks are damn cheap. I called my vodka it was the price I'd pay in the city for a rail vodka. What made me feel like I was at, Cheers was the way they greeted all the patrons arriving and leaving. I had a good giggle when one gentleman left, the bartender told him to be sure to text her so she knew he got home safely. When another customer arrived, they asked where his partner was and when he responded, at home. They all laughed and said, he must have been grounded. I can only guess, the partner must be the fun/trouble maker. I also found it nice that as I sat at the far end of the bar for social distancing, some of the regulars still included me in the group conversation. When I was leaving, they all said good-bye and thanked me for stopping by. I may not become a regular, but I'll definitely will be stopping by periodically.
