“ Nice local dive bar. Friendly bartenders. They offer slot machines for your entertainment. ”
“ Best bar in Lemont hands down. It does need a fresh coat of paint/stain for the wood and the pool table is not %100 level. It looked pretty slow in there for years but seams to be a little more busy now. I really hope they give the place a face lift. ”
