Lou just threw me out ( member) because I asked them at 9:30 pm not to clean with the heavy closing stuff 3feet away from me. He said then leave. I said I pay your salary. He came after me(female), took my drink, said I will never serve you again. Get out and never come back. Wow. It's been a long time since I was a guest in Chicago. The barteniwere
Had fun with friends on trivia night despite the lack of food, lack of beers (out of stock of Black Butte Porter), credit card machine not working, and finally gave me my beers but he didn't open the beer (and it was NOT a twist-off)!
Fun place to hang out on a Friday evening.. Usually, a great band shows up. Be sure and get there early as they fill up fast. During the summer, it tends to get pretty warm in there.
Wow! Live music here! The Groove Therapy Band is amazing! One of the tightest bands I've seen here! Christine, Jeff, Eric, Charlotte and Mike bring a vibrant danceable show that goes well with the cold beers!
Really glad to hear that the Sports Pavilion Committee is working on plans for improvements to Lizard Acres! This place needs a new bartender, and could use a makeover to add a little ambience. It's nice to have it, but could be soooo much better.
Bar, no outside beverages allowed. It is in the same building as the bowling alley, billiards, and there is a small cafe restaurant next to it also. TV's for sports, darts, air hockey and tables set up for groups if you want to play cards etc in the day. Thursdays afternoon for mah jong play. Included in review copy of the menu for cafe.
Summer hours beginning May 1st. 3:00-9(?) . So no more early afternoon cards or mah jong .
Not quite sure what to say. The concept is good, but personally, I am not a beer or wine drinker. I prefer hard liquor, and there is none. It was fun to watch all the people dancing to the band, that was intertaining in itself. Now I must say I played in "wedding bands" for 25 years and we were very picky about our sound and performance...the band that was there was anything but the same. Starting songs, ending songs, they just kind of made them all up on the run. Definitely needed a sound person. Some things simply drowned out the rest of the band at times, other things you could hardly hear. Some instruments seemed, at times, to be playing a totally different song. I think they were all talented musicians, but perhaps a little more practicing with someone actually listening to what people are hearing might be a good idea!
Went here for the first time to karoake. The bar is located inside of a bowling alley in a separate space. The DJ was good, kept the singers moving along. Good sound system.
Sports bar..not..must request TV on ...if interested; love Kareokee & live music is fun. Bar is ok..if you like canned drinks..Very limited in drinks..hope they expand. Space is limited and chairs are Not comfortable for the age group. Broken chairs..Hope they can get better seating and additional tables.
Acres has TV service to receive lots of games at once on several TVs. One giant screen. Audio is off on all games if there is more than one game on at once.
I was told that people watching their game complained that there was audio from a different game, so there is no audio on any game.
We were there today with about 30 people, out of 31 in the whole bar, watching the Seahawk game on the giant screen. Regardless, audio was muted. Very strange.
16 oz beer - $3
