Place was cool and in a great spot but the blonde lady at the bar never acknowledged us or took our drink order. I get we’re a young couple who you think won’t tip and won’t be back and all your regulars are at the bar but I’m a server and the fact you greeted a regular who sat at the bar who came in 5-10 min after us was annoying and why we left. Not great.

This is in the top 3 worst dive bars in Crystal Lake entertaining, with sinister undertones. Outside of the regular stream of customers that roll out of the factories and into this bar around 6am each day to wet their brains, the later clientele and atmosphere seem like out of the Cantina Bar in the original Star Wars seedy, dark, lost and potentially violent. When they aren't smoking outside and beating dents into the steel window trim while arguing, inside it feels like someone may vomit on you or a fistfight might break out at any moment over a dog or access to the slot machines or which light beer is best. The bartender is a pro and efficiently makes sure everyone is nice and lubricated. Drink and beer selection are about what you'd expect in a well stocked basement man cave in your uncle Karl's house. Would recommend for any occasion.
