About this restaurant

Good for groups
Great for craft beers
Great for happy hour

We're a fun gastropub for humans with great drink, food and games. We also help our best friends by partnering with local animal rescues in the Libertyville area.

Come experience Lake county's first self-pour craft beer, wine, and cocktail wall! In addition, we offer upscale pub food and family-fun games, including a library of over 200 new and traditional board games.

Join us on our 1900 sqft pet-friendly patio! Bring your dog and let them enjoy a treat on the deck while you relax by the waterfall.

Please Note: The kitchen closes an hour before closing hours.

Bingo night was so much fun! It was a great, low key atmosphere that was perfect for a family night out.

The beer selection was good. Burger was very expensive but good. Wings were good. The habanero honey sauce was deadly. The Buffalo sauce was a tad vinegary.

The beer wall was super cool, but the food was blah! I was very disappointed in my beet salad, which had maybe 6 slices of beets, super small pieces of beets! Got the pretzel flight, the beer cheese was okay, not what I thought it would be, the pretzels were okay, nothing amazing.

Relaxed atmosphere. Bar food. Fried pickles are breaded, not battered- so it’s different.

Good concept. Need to improve execution. You order and pay for food via a QR code. Food lacked any real flavor or imagination. Service was very spotty. Had to hunt down server to get a soda refill. When a server did check on us, we told them a burger was missing a couple items per the menu, they questioned their own menu and said they’d “check”. Needless to say, nothing was ever checked. Nice outside patio that is dog friendly.

Casual and good food. Not a traditional way of ordering food, but easy to figure out. Seemed well staffed for not having servers.
