Not a place for food

by Hungriernow

This place has gone down hill lately.

On the positive side if you like the micro brew thing then go fo it. The beer has not changed.

If you like food stick to a burger but be patient and be tolerant.

Service is extremely slow. I got water in a filthy glass. I tried to bring it to the attention of the server but when he didn't show up for 10 minutes I went inside and asked for a manager. The manager took a while to arrive and when he did acted like he was surprised and shocked but never sent out a fresh glass of water. Come on guys, I only wanter a new glass of water. I was not looking to be compensated in any other way but they didn't care.

There are enough other options in Libertyville now and no need to subject yourself to this kind of treatment.

• Pros: Beer is still the same.
• Cons: Service and cleanliness

Great Atmosphere - Great Beer - Great Food - Hot Chicks - Great Live Music

by nuguy

I love this place! They have the best burger I've had anywhere "The Mickey-Burger", try it with blue cheese! Live music everybody is friendly, you feel like you've been going there forever - the first time you do. Be sure to go upstairs and check out the bands - good bands, like bands you've actually heard of, in this little intimate venue. While swiggin' on a freshly brewed wheat ale... Ahh, Life Is GOOD!

• Pros: nearly everything, great area to walk around and window shop too.
• Cons: parking is limmited, but quite available with hardly a walk

What a find

by cruit813

Live music...good fresh beer...great bar food...why travel downtown and be surrounded by punks and Donald and Ivana Trump wannabees...this place has it all...except not alot of parking which aint their fault cuz they are very popular and the Libertyville Government is not the most progressive...the pace is snuggled between all of these great shops and close to a movie theatre and some other restaurants so check it out...my wife and I did and we loved it...

A great brew-pub in Libertyville!

by lemane

This mini-brewery with a terrfic menu is the perfect place to bring your friends and family. The beer is brewed on premises and is terrific and widely varied, changing seasonally. The food is what I'd call upscale bar food - just about my favorite kind! The menu will surprise you and the food itself is always well prepared, well served and tastes great. And there is often live entertainment as well - I loved this place!
