    The Cottage image
    They serve popcorn while you wait for your meal. I enjoy sitting on the Cottage's deck and enjoying the summer breeze while waiting for one of their tasty hamburgers. They have other delicious items, but my favorite is the hamburger. Parking is next door or on the street. There's a big oak tree for shade. They have a bar inside and tables if you prefer air conditioned seating. It's a nice casual, relaxing place for lunch or dinner. See more..

  3. 4.5 Crystal Lake Brewing (70 reviews)
    - Tasty Craft Beers
    Saturday: 12:00 PM - 12:00 AM Bars & Clubs • Breweries • Beer Tastings & Tours
    Crystal Lake Brewing image
    I visited Crystal Lake Brewing on a Monday afternoon (one of the rare breweries open on Mondays). I was glad to find that they had plenty of outdoor seating available which was helpful during the current covid times. I was here basically just for beer tasting, so food being not available at this place was not a concern for me. They welcome customers to order or bring food in. They have a diverse variety of beer offerings, and I had a Taster Flight of four beers. Their Oktoberfest and the Milk Stout were excellent. They also offer beers (crowlers, growlers, cans) to go. During regular times, they appear to be a popular gathering place. Crystal Lake Brewing is surely worth a stop for their tasty craft beers. I really enjoyed my visit here. See more..
  4. 4.5 Scratch Brewing (53 reviews)
    - Basil Ale - in a Fairy Tale setting
    Saturday: 12:00 PM - 10:00 PM Bars & Clubs
    Scratch Brewing image
    This hidden tasting room in Ava, Illinois will capture your imagination and taste buds. It’s in a remote location, but I highly recommend plugging it into your maps and finding it. They have a unique offering of beers ranging from the smoky lager to a lavender stout. The farmhouse ale is very good, but the basil ale is the star. They offer wood fired pizzas and flatbreads. I had the the tomato and mozzarella pizza. It was ridiculously simple and extremely flavorful. The place is magic. See more..

    Spent 1-2 hours Bars & Clubs • Breweries
    Scorched Earth Brewing Company image
    Was in town overnight and decided to try the various local breweries. Scorched Earth was by far our favorite in terms of the quality and selection of beer. We liked it so much we bought quite a bit to take home. The facility itself was well decorated yet at the same time a very comfortable place to just hang out while enjoying a good beer. We felt the prices were on par with other craft breweries we've been to. If we lived closer we would definitely be regulars. See more..

    We went to Shoeless Joe's Ale House & Grille to watch the last game of the Cavaliers and the Warriors. Interestingly, there is a lot of old White Sox memorabilia. Did I say that there were a lot of TVs? I counted about 30, at least. Some of the booths had two TVs, one aimed at each side of the booth. There is plenty of parking. They have a large and varied selection of beers. The staff was very efficient and friendly, even though it was a very crowded evening. See more..

    Moretti's Riverside McHenry image
    Over the years at Moretti's, we've become a little obsessed in our quest to show you a good time. Are we a sit-down restaurant? Pizza joint? Sports bar? Banquet Hall? "Something for everyone" is kind of cliché, but we can't help ourselves. We will do whatever we can to create as much fun for as many people as possible. Thus, Moretti's is known for its wide ranging menu of pizza and Italian & American cuisine, and cannot be beat for lunch and dinner table service, take-out, private event facilities, sports bar and patio garden featuring outdoor dining. We have tons of activities and promotions that run the gamut from pizza deals, and beanbag tournaments to customized parties to fit your every need. Award-Winning Moretti's pan and thin crust Chicago-style pizza is just the most famous part of Moretti's large menu. We offer lunch and dinner in the casual elegance of Moretti's dining room or outdoors on the patio. See more..

    Montage Wine Bar and Tasting Room image
    A friend of ours brought my wife and I to this establishment. Obviously, to impress us and, they did! We sat beneath an awning at the front of the place that was shaded enough to escape the afternoon sun. The server took our order and sampled our drinks. Short of twenty minutes, the food came. First, was a cutting board of various creations like candied bacon, bleu cheese crumbles, hot pepper jelly and dark chocolate toffee, to only name a few. A 12 inch-long flatbread sealed the meal; Mediterranean style. We all conversed and enjoyed the wine and food. It was a perfect time. See more..

    John Brown's on the Square image
    My 2 sisters and I were staying over in Marion on the way to Tennessee from Wisconsin . We went to this bar on the city's square after searching online for a place to get some adult refreshments. It stood out to us because it claims to have over 100 beers from which to choose. We've been to bars in smaller towns before and expected to be stared at as outsiders by locals. Instead, we were greeted warmly by the bartender/manager and one of the patrons who we quicky found out was ownerJohn Brown himself. The bartender was very helpful in suggesting beers for our individual tastes. John is a musician and told us he has various bands play there regularly while he manages the sound. This is just a laid back place. Nothing fancy about the space itself, but the people were friendly, and we were comfortable in staying for more than one beer. This is a placeto which I would reurn if I lived in town or was again passing through. See more..

    Bars & Clubs
    Halftime Bar and Grill Sand Volleyball image
    I can't speak for other items on the menu or the in-house dining, however we order takeout pizza from Halftime almost once a week. I love the thin crust and there is something especially good about the sauce that I just can't put my finger on. The toppings are always fresh and plentiful. This pizza is so tasty that it's hard to stop at just one or two slices. A pizza from Halftime is the first thing we think about when we've been out of town and is usually our arrival home treat. My husband and I LOVE Halftime pizza. See more..
