Audrey AJanuary 25, 2013Great worldwide beer selection! Staff friendly and caters well to large parties. Upstairs seating area closes early, so plan dinner accordingly. Downstairs bar is open late and have trivia cards :)
Mike SmithMay 26, 2014Great selection of meads and mixed drinks and food is to die for, much better than your average late-night bar dining. Friendly bar staff, good seating, and pleasant crowd round out this place.
Melissa WolfMarch 27, 2013Garrett is awesome! Had the Epic Brewing Co Brainless on Raspberry, delicious! The cheese platter was awesome too! Irish Whiskey cheddar/Drunken goat/gouda! Would definitely come back!
Irene SApril 11, 2016Delicious Brie cheese plate, tacos and great beer if you're willing to spend a pretty penny!
jeyoDecember 14, 2015This place was so fun! The atmosphere was awesome, the food pretty good, and the drinks were perfect!
Janelle DowneyMarch 10, 2013Awesome variety of appetizers and Tapas. Ask to sit downstairs if you want a quiet meal - you run the risk of encountering families with screaming kids if you sit upstairs.
Amy DaneJune 15, 2013Love this place. Never seen lord of the rings but love the food and drink. Recommend cheese plate and salmon.
Great beer selection. I always like to get the beer samplers and try a bit of everything. Gandalf's pizza is my favorite.
I love this place, but on more than one occasion I've had "extra" beers show up on my tab. Every time it was Big Mike serving. I think he tacks them on when he thinks you're too tipsy to realize.
Alan BattershellApril 14, 2017Great atmosphere along with food and spirits. Fabulous beer selection. Been a dan for almost two decades.
Aimee AimeeJune 29, 2013Cinnamon pork loin with fruit chutney is excellent. Unbelievable beer menu. An excellent neighborhood bar full of real people.
DennisJune 6, 2013Excellent beer and wine selection. Something for everybody, if they enjoy a good beverage. Pizzas are great.
Haley CrumMarch 11, 2012Order the Original Sin Apple Cider and Framboise St. Louis raspberry beer...then mix. The waiters will mix for you, and it's really tasty.
Dave Ray DaveRayPhoto.comJune 7, 2014The Veal Piccata is delicious, & even when my wife ordered it with gluten free flour.
Carl GieringerJuly 20, 2011The salmon-crab sandwich was delicious, the decor fun and adventurous. As close to a home-cooked hobbit-meal as you will find in the metro area! Read more
Jae WatkinsAugust 18, 2017It's a meh pub and there's nothing hobbit-like when you get inside. The bartender was nice but the happy hour deals are minimal and don't include food.
Cathy BaderJanuary 20, 2013Great food! Thank you for fitting our large group in tonight. Great service! Oakbrook Prep thanks you!
Incredible beer list. Try Schneider's Aventinus, Brooklyn Brewery's Sorachi Ace, or anything from Terre Ferme.
Matt CJuly 16, 2010The DFH World Wide Stout is delicious, but aparently 18.5% ABV. The Rauchbier Maerzen is amazing and they only have 2 kegs
Come see Michele for awesome service and advice on beers and wines!
- New happy hour M-Th, 4-7: half price draft, pizzas and burgers!
Ree-An AJuly 11, 2012Be aware that 20% tip is automatically added to your bill before any discounts are applied- even with just two diners.
Laurie MoyJanuary 23, 2011You must have the green dragon pizza!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is the best!!!!!!!!!!
Star StrafSeptember 27, 2012Note: Happy hour only at bar. Cockroaches upstairs. Made worse by waitress explaining they were common in all places in oldtown. Funny we have never seen any at other restaurants
Lauren LaneJanuary 28, 2012Food is sub par and service is terrible!!! But the beer list is great and the ambience makes up for the waiters hanging in the back chit chatting
