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!

Fatsoz is one of those rare places that truly has something for everyone. Yes, it's a bar, but the…read morefood is so much more than typical "bar food." Everything I've had has been fresh, flavorful, and consistently great. Their Friday night fish fry is easily some of the best around and is something I look forward to whenever I can make it in. What really sets Fatsoz apart for me, though, is the atmosphere. As a women, I feel completely comfortable and safe stopping in by myself. the staff is welcoming, the regulars are so friendly, and there's never that uncomfortable feeling you can sometimes get waling into a bar alone. It's a place where you can enjoy a great meal, relax, and feel at ease whether you're with friends or on your own. Great food, great patrons, awesome staff, and welcoming environment keep me coming back. If you haven't tried the fish fry yet, you're missing out!!

Sitting at the bar on a busy Friday night, the experience here was perfect. It's not a big place,…read moremaybe twenty spots at the bar and a smattering of tables. The bartender, Hailey(?), worked the entire place flawlessly. Between five of us we had the fish fry, a couple sandwiches and some appetizers. All cooked perfectly and delivered fairly fast. There is a full bar but it's nothing fancy. No top shelf bourbons visible from my seat. We drank beer on tap. 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. The only downside was that the food ended up making my stomach hurt afterward, which took away from the experience a bit. Still, based on taste alone, it was impressive, and I'd consider going back while maybe trying something different next time.

Most places had a long wait time for a Saturday, and this one didn't, which was a nice surprise. 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.

The mushroom and kale pie was nice and cheesy and the rocking vegan pie was more savoury, with a variety of vegetables and chickpeas as stuffing. The crust was neither too soft nor too crunchy. The highlight of the meal was the curry chips: potato wedges lightly fried with masala and curry leaves. The dipping sauce that came with the chips reminded me of tikka masala sauce, and paired beautifully with the chips. Dessert was toffee pudding: the caramel sauce that came with the pudding was delectable - the pudding itself was excellent and not overly sweet. We tried a variety of NA beers, and I was pleased with how many options they had. Service was quick, and we were well looked after. The ambiance is warm, with dim-ish lighting and a lot of dark wood. The restrooms were gorgeous - special shoutout to the lovely floral wallpaper. Overall, I highly recommend Pleasant House - the vibe is chill and understated and the food is stellar.

Everything I could ask for in a English pub. Great beer…read moremenu, enough different options but a clear focus on bitters, ales, pub ales, etc. Started with a scotch edge and it was delicious. The sausage was very tasty, the breading on the outside was incredibly crisp, light, and the egg inside was cooked well. Both the steak pie and the chicken pie were very good. The chicken pie I think really needed the chutney that you can get separately. But that made it so much better and made it my preferred pie. The steak and ale pie was better than the chicken pie as a standalone, but needed a bit more gravy I think to elevate it. Sticky toffee pudding again was delicious. Surprisingly light, not overly dense so I was glad it came with the custard which was very flavorful. Overall, will definitely return!

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.
