Union Bar & Grill
Eric E.

Union Bar & Grill small place for a quick drink, get together or current sports venue lots of TV's to watch from. Food menu is mostly finger foods like sandwiches, burgers and appetizers. I had the mushroom swiss burger cooked medium well, wow tasty burger the juices was literally bursting with flavor lol. Ambiance quiet during lunchtime but towards the end got busy the lunch crowd started to pile in. Service my waitress was Kirsten very nice and kept asking if I needed anything she definitely earned her tip. Only problem i noticed is probably management related Kirsten was the only employee running around from running the bar, waiting on tables, serving the food i felt bad for her could you imagine if it was a full dining room how can one person attend to everyone. So yeah if you're reading this Union Bar Grill owner make sure you get Kirsten some help poor gal. Overall great food and service will be back.

Menu as of June 2025.

Every Chicago suburb has places like Union Bar & Grill and 90% of them give their residents a great place to catch a game - maybe on a patio - while enjoying wings, or a wrap, or a solid burger. Union is absolutely that place, but the wife and I thought the food and service were above average. The inside space looks like a million other bars - beer signs, diamond plating, open ceilings that are lined with televisions, but it was clean. The wife and I opted to sit on out front on their patio. Our server Ashley was fantastic. Super friendly, and attentive (our beers never sat empty). She knew the menu inside and out and she recommended the Greek Chicken Pita for my wife - which was delicious. Definitely better than average. I got opted for the Patty Melt. The Patty was huge, nicely seasoned, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. If you're in the neighborhood, looking for a place to watch the game and grab some food, this is a good choice. Ask for Ashley.

Nice location with plenty of parking has both indoor and outdoor seating. The food selection was really good along with the Bourbon and Whiskey. The server was quick and friendly

a burger and fries

I visited Union Bar for the first time with a group of friends. We were there in the early afternoon, and the place was nearly empty. We were able to put a few tables together and sit comfortably without any other patrons near us. The restaurant was clean, quiet, and comfortable. I don't recall the name of our server, but she was friendly and attentive. I thought the prices were extremely reasonable as well. One friend had a salad while another friend had wings and mozzarella sticks. My friend Linda had the U nachos, and the rest of us ordered burgers. The food is decent. It's not the best food ever, but it's certainly edible. I thought the portion size of the fries was a little too small, but other than that, I have no complaints. My sister liked the tater tots, but she said they were too hard. She thought the oil they were cooked in could have been old. I'd probably visit this location again. It was a nice alternative to all the chain restaurants on LaGrange and/or 159th. The waitress was pretty cool about splitting the check as well. It was nice not to have that turn into a big ordeal.

TV's galore

Great Prices, and I enjoy their healthy selections which include Salmon or shrimp salad or sandwich Greek Chicken Pita. Or get a twisted bacon dog for $11 with fries! ( not the healthiest but still yummy) Super busy most days but service is good considering. Very loud ambiance so a work meeting here would be not a good idea. Get a drink play some slots and soak in the testosterone as the buff staff and tradesman still here after work talk louder and louder to get their "important" opinions about said game or whatever else they yell about to each other across the bar

Sausage and peppers in broth - Most EXCELLENT
Crystal R.

Stopped in while driving by to find a place to eat while in town The atmosphere is great and some reviews say it's loud but it's a sports bar so... Excellent service and our waitress was very attentive. We started with the Sausage and Peppers appetizer which is a slightly spicy "brat" type of sausage with grilled peppers and onions in a wonderful broth. Next we got the onions rings ( typical but good) and we split a Hangover Burger which had bacon, cheese, and an egg cooked perfect. No big deal that we split that or wanted no bread. That comes with a Tabasco Mayo too - perfect for the onion rings also! Hands down recommend

The U Nachos !  yummmy!!
Janet K.

This place it's near the train station in Tinley Park (library) . Not sure why we never noticed it. It has a sporty atmosphere. The waitress are very attentive. And the food is great. I loved the Nacho plate it was HUGE.

Kate is a fantastic bartender! She's got an awesome personality and makes the best drinks. Amazingly.....she somehow remembers everyone's name and everybody's "usual" orders. She's the best!!

Haven't been back to the Whistle in Tinley Park since our first visit over 2 years ago. Since our…read morefirst visit, they've added an entire banquet room that is closer to 159th St. and also some outdoor seating. They've also added more televisions. The amount of TVs in this establishment is pretty unbelievable. There are probably as many TVs as there are places to sit. If you are looking to watch any sporting event, the Whistle is definitely your spot. The food is good. The service is good. I guess there's really not much negative to say. The menu is as extensive as I remember it, so we did try some different things during this visit, and all of it was good. If you're not concerned with making your meal an "experience", then the Whistle definitely checks all the boxes. I just can't give them more than three stars because there are other places in the area where we can watch a game and they have better food. All that being written, it's a cool neighborhood sports bar with decent food and decent service. There are much worse places you could go.

SIBLING HANGOUT!!! I…read morehad this place on my list of places to go, and finally, I had an opportunity. It is really visually pleasing in this establishment. VERY spacious, and you wouldn't think that from looking at the building in the parking lot. I will say this OFF TOP, I will be back. This place appears to have lots to offer, and I want in on the good stuff. They have party rooms, a massive bar and plenty of seating for friends, foes and the family. Adorable decor, but also simple. Its a bar/pub friends! Let's get to the sips and bites shall we! I ordered a cranberry and vodka. When it came, it was dang near clear, so I knew that would be my only sip for the evening and some water. lol We ordered starters/apps: Chicken Wings and Cheese Curds. Simple, tasty, hot and the service was SWIFT BABY SWIFT! Entree: I ordered Fish tacos. I had my fingers and toes crossed hoping they were going to be amazing. No sir, no ma'am. Flavorless. They looked great though. I ate half of one and gave to my sib for take home bites. I blame me, I should have ordered something safe, like a burger or something easy peasy. Sis ordered a Patty Melt with fries. Looked good, she stated it tasted amazing. Winner, winner, burger dinner! Bro order a couple things: Chicken Tenders and fries and a Quesadilla. He stated his items were delicious. We sat, ate, sipped and enjoyed the space. I would absolutely recommend this establishment for friend/family gatherings, or popping in for sips and wings. They have an assortment of homemade sips and eats, and their menu is pretty large. If anything, I will be back to try more options of things. Simple grub! Great location and friendly staff! As always, you don't have to take my word for it, go get you some!

Nice looking place, great clean glassware, nice tap/wine selection, and fair service. Those are the…read morehigh points. Food is meh: downtown prices, small portions, and bland. I had the fish & chips, substituted sriracha coleslaw for chips... maybe the cabbage brushed the sriracha bottle in the kitchen, but there was absolutely none in the slaw, all three cod planks maybe make up one of the cod slabs you usually get in the Chicago area. My wife's Vodka rigatoni was bland, not a vodka sauce, more like tomato soup with some shaker parm in it, pasta was aldente', when it was cooked, but was falling apart from being on a steamer plate for too long. Going for a drink... just fine... don't bother with the food.

My first visit to Durbins in downtown Tinley Park (Harmony Square) took place before the area was…read morefully completed. Now that the whole complex is a vibe, this downtown location has become a focal point, and a pretty important puzzle piece in the overall success of Harmony Square. The good news is that they're still doing the right things to ensure the continued success of their brand. I have to believe that this location would be considered their "flagship" store. The two story spot is well staffed with likable servers and hosts, the food is just good enough to keep the people coming back - without doing anything special that would estrange some of their target audience. Most importantly, this location guarantees them a captive audience. We've been here a handful of times since my initial review, so I figured I'd update my review... the restaurant itself hasn't changed, which is great news. My wife and I stopped in for lunch on their rooftop with one of our daughters, and the experience was fantastic. The service was great. The Chicken Pesto Flatbread we shared for lunch was tasty, and we were able to watch the Cub game on one of the many TV's on the rooftop. The only reason this spot didn't get my coveted 5 star rating is the food. It's good. Some of it is pretty good... some of it is very mediocre, but none of it stands out as being really f*cking good. That being written, it's still a very solid option when you're visiting Harmony Square!

Service is not good at the bar. Waited 15 minutes for a drink with a bottle on the bar.read more
