40+ taps, wide whiskey selection and good pub food. Small size does lead to crowding in the restaurant some times but the food and beer selection makes up for it. Food includes burgers, fish and chips and other pub fare. | cbents (1), Lockport,

I’ve been meaning to get to this place for awhile, but it’s out in the middle of nowhere (please forgive me if youre local). Some reviews seemed a bit shill-y and had me skeptical, especially after finally locating it in a strip mall between a dry cleaners and tanning salon. Deep breath, go inside, hey...its alright!
Past a small vestibule waiting area, you are in the larger bar room, with a dining area off to the side. On a Sunday afternoon, this room was full of families with kids, but thankfully the bar itself was kid-free. Nice to see them cater to both families and the bar crowd. It was fairly loud, with high open ceilings and stereo at Friday night volume. The bar itself was nice, a few dozen taps on the wall, set into a copper basin, with wood detailing around that. Up above there were assorted beer cases stacked up, 3 flatscreens, and a shelf with branded growlers strangely enough. Lots of beer signs tacked up all over the walls, and some nice colorful chalkboards done by hand.
Beer selection was good, though it leaned heavily toward IPAs and US craft (only imports were Delirium & Guinness). I wanted a stout to go with a few oysters (it was during oysterfest), but sadly Guinness was the only option. FFF was on special, $3 Gumballhead was music to my ears. Beer list was broken down by general styles, with abv, short description, BA/RB rating, and price. There werent really any bottles worth mentioning, just a handful of macros. I get that the draft beer is the main focus, but it wouldnt hurt to have a few bottles of stuff not on draft, namely imports.
Food was the highlight, oysters and a generous portion of lamb loli-chops, 4 of them with a garlic oil and roasted squash. Guacamole was alright, and the panini was really just a grilled cheese, but also ok. A broad and varied menu covering pub food, cajun, mexican, asian, and a few other random things. Bison burgers looked excellent, ill have to get one next time.
Overall a good place for fresh drafts and great food, an oasis in the craft beer desert of the southwest suburbs. Worth a stop if youre local or passing through, but ultimately not a major destination. | | donttreadonme (23), Chicago, Illinois | | September 27, 2010
Hit this place for the beer battle between DFH and Rogue...Rogue was jobbed! This place however was fantastic...had an excellent burger, about 3 feet high, service was attentive given the huge crowd and the girls knew their beer...only tried the beers presented but they had 3F, 2 Bros, Founders, Bells a flowin’ - if you are in Mokena (sorry) - this place is fantastic stop by for a few and some grub | | satan165 (101), River Grove, Illinois | | July 17, 2010
easy to see how they cut the BS from the old galway location and refocused into a smaller, smarter room. well decorated with a multitude of beer tins covering the walls and a huge line of taps. attended during a special event so while most of the staff gave great service it was hard to test their knowledge. i did not eat there but i saw at least 3 people order the nachos and it was at minimum 3 lbs. of a platter towering nearly 12" high off the plate. going back for another event in a couple months and if the place was closer (or at least near an interstate) id return. niall seems to have a genuine interest in making this place great and the ’ultimate beer bouts’ are a very unique idea which so far are well executed as well. | | monkeychugg55 (28), Joliet, Illinois | | June 6, 2010
Nice bar area with a large assortment of taps. Pretty good selection of midwestern ales. Lots of Three Floyds, Bells, Dark Horse, etc. Prices are fair. Nice little place, will have to stop by again. | | WITTBEER (23), Illinois | | May 20, 2010
Best beer bar south of Chicago. 40+ taps and good food. |
