You want a bar? You got a bar. You want pool? You get free pool! Liquor selection? Well unless you're looking for some highly unlikely craft whiskey then you'll be happy. Beer selection? Glad you asked: it's not much. But guess what?! It's cheap and the people are wonderful and the seats are comfortable. Great place.

Bartender Alex is amazing. Makes a bomb signature shot, sofie mimosa and makes your time at the bar worth while. You have to come here!!! Love this place :)

All in all, just a fun 'ole time as advertised.

Johnny may be the reason this place is so special. Amazing bartender and an instant friend.

4 dollar mini pitchers and billiards. What's not to love? Bar tenders are cool and friendly. We went 2 of 3 nights we were in town.

Great people. Best bar for any drink you want in Des Plaines. Best pool tables of any place in 50 miles. Just a fun place for drinks pizza and all sport games. Go Bears. Dabs.

The best bar I have ever been to. The bar tenders and bar backs are the best! I feel lucky to have found such a great place and great people to hangout with and befriend. Thank you Lee street and your entire staff.

This place that I come here, I always get a drink and just chill out here every weekends at night. This bartender guy who works here name Alex who I usually see him every Fridays Saturdays and Sundays, This man is a great guy and he is a great service. Sometimes once in a while, he can be a badass. He sees me a lot and he knows me really well. Sometimes, when I come here, I bring my friends here and they like it. This place, I've love to play pool table and to do darts or sometimes I've always sit at a bar just watchin TV like Football, Wrestling, hockey and more. It could be boring to sit and not say anything but I've always talk to the other people and my friends. I'll be back and always want to come to this place.
