About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for creative cocktails
Charming

In June 1896, the trolley system that linked St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Aurora, and Elgin, IL began to offer service to local citizens. Overhead wires that ran along the track supplied the power to the single, open-air cars.

The trolley came from South Elgin and traveled along the east side of the river, through the St. Charles Country Club and along Route 25. From Main Street, it went west, crossed over the bridge, and turned south on 3rd Street to go to Geneva.

It was at this last turn that conductors would stop the trolley and allow passengers to disembark for a quick drink to warm up during the winter months. Welcome back to Whiskey Bend.

Outdoor bartending staff was rude and not very friendly. Took forever to get drinks and only poured the draft beer 3/4 full every time we ordered one. Food was awesome, and our waitress was nice. Outdoor patio was cool and enjoyable.

Food was pretty good. Wait times were good as well. Service definitely could’ve been a bit more personable.

Delicious food and the old fashions were tasty. We used this app for our reservation and put a couple of notes—one that we were celebrating an anniversary… the reservation was received but they didn’t read any of the notes. A 4 star plus place and we’d go back again

Had the grouper sandwich for the third time and it was delicious. Our server was very friendly and helpful, but seemed to be a little stretched. All the drinks were tasty and it was a beautiful day in the courtyard.

The restaurant seemed to be short staffed and not well run. Our waitress was fine but didn’t seem to care if our order wasn’t right. We ordered the hodge hodge and chicken buffalo dip apps. The Buffalo dip had blue cheese even though we asked for it on the side. The food runners didn’t seem to know which table was supposed to get which food. Drinks from the bar took a long time. And when our entrees came out most of it was cold. Just not a good experience.
