    Food is always good here. The service is usually ok too, but the last time we went it was terrible.

    A local bar with an extensive beer list, where you are bound to find something for everyone's taste. The food is fresh and tasty. Three of us had the hamburger and were very satisfied with our selection. The fourth person had the salmon sandwich and loved it. The fresh cut French Fries complimented our meal perfectly.

    We've been coming to this restaurant for years and this was the worst experience we've ever had. The service in a word was horrible. Never got water refilled, slow to take out order, slow to bring tea/soda refills. Not sure what was going on as there were empty tables so it wasn't crazy busy. Pretzel appetizer was way overpriced for what you got but chicken shnitzel (sp?) was very good. If this was our first visit I would not return.

    All the food was so good (mussels, shrimp dejonghe, sriracha wings, pretzel, fried asparagus), and the bill was actually reasonable. It’s got a relaxed and cool vibe too. I love Firkin.

    Best Old Fashioned in Libertyville! Always love the black bean burger and my husband enjoyed the Jerk Chicken special. Jared is an attentive and friendly server.
