Completely different than what I've ever experienced and will definitely be back!! The four of us ordered the woz, the sephia, De bello, apple cinnamon bourbon tea, and last but not least, absinthe!! First time absinthe, it was delicious. We ordered the Parmesan fries and I don't think i can eat fries any other way now! Love love love, you won't regret it!

Although I was apprehensive about the area, I was surprised to find such classy bar on top of the sports bar below. I had two appetizers, the parmesan fries and fried ravioli, which were both delicious. My girlfriend and I had cocktails, The Waz, Yellow Jacket, New Jersey Devil, and the Soyko. Our favorite was the Soyko Martini (delicious lemon!) The servers were super friendly and personable. They attended to our every need. I totally recommend this place!

The main…read morereason why I think people should come here is because I'm a local and there is not a dive bar in the area that provides this level of service. The bartenders are kind and attentive, you will get a drink without waiting too long and you will feel comfortable and safe. Yes it may be slightly pricier but not by much, this is the kind of place that makes it worth it. I am not a regular but I will be after tonights visit. My local bar being Mr. Cs has disappointment me with their management but this place will treat you 10x better. Please come and visit Jennifer and Colm, they were the best bartender and I'm sure they will treat you well also.

Stumble across Red Barrel...the drinks were good and the appetizers sweet sticky chicken was decent the fries were tasty. But my pasta dish was FULL OF SALT. I couldn't finish it. My Freind and husband did the fajitas with steak, chicken and shrimp and they cleared their plates so even though this is supposed to be an Italian place stick with the Mexican cuisine. The kid meal was a good deal and my 10 year old enjoyed it but it wasn't big enough portions so we ordered too. Will I be back? No but it was an interesting experience

I always passes here and thought that it probably was really old fashioned. Well I was wrong, the place is bright yellow and the dance floor is a pretty big dance floor considering that the place is not showing its true size from the outside - impressive Polonia. I was impressed also with the fact that they decorated the heck out of this place and it was really tastefully done. The colors were bright and the place was magic for the party that was about to begin. I also must admit that the family style dinner that they serve is really good quality. Of course for being a hall, the food was really good. Since most of the time the foods served are bland. But I must admit that the pasta dish was in fact over salted. What can you do right? The rest of the dinner as well as the night was pretty nice. Parking is pretty ample, except I did notice that the girls who were serving the meal made sure as soon as you were done, the plate would be removed. Not cook, but hey they are trying to get home so I can totally appreciate the effort. Till they get a fork in their hand, than they understand.

We ordered a couple of cold Zywiec and Tyskie beers and a golabki plate and (04) potato pancakes. Special Soup of The Day=Pickle Soup. Tempting but we had more than enough food for two already. Food was homemade by the in-house cook. Delicious! Great bang for your buck. All is right with the world. Shared a few beers and some war stories with an old Mexican cowboy--how in the heck did you find your way in here cowboy? Reggie the bartender was awesome--friendly and attentive service. Ambiance is 1970's chic. Looking forward to my next visit. I'll be wearing my wide-flare bell bottoms, platform shoes and a nice flowery silk shirt. I'm hoping that The Gus Polinski Tribute Band will be in-house. Polka, Polka, Polka!

When you walk in there is a bar and some tables but through the double doors, you'll find a 2nd bar with a speakeasy feel. When we checked in, we were assigned our tables. We ordered drinks before hand and the drinks were brought to our tables. We also ordered the pimento cheese and crackers. We snacked on the crackers most of the show as there was quite a bit of pimento in the bowl. The show was great and was broken into 2 parts. There were a lot of great metaphors along with it being a very interactive show with the crowd. Many of the tricks and magic left us in complete awe. We can't wait to come back and see future shows!

He even went the extra mile and stayed an extra 40 minutes to finish the first mix after a 10 hour day. We would highly recommend Chicago Sound Lab and had a great experience!
