Kennys Tavern

Possibly the worst bar I’ve ever been to, terrible service, terrible treatment of customers by the owner, by the bartenders, by the waitresses NEVER EVER GO HERE you will be disappointed and treated like a second-​class citizen because their complete lack of disrespect for people
Also, the owner is a terrible business owner

The staff is friendly, the food is surprisingly good, and they have some good specials… you can get a meal here any day for 5 bucks. I don’t think I’ve had a bad meal here. Some of my favorites are the cajun steak sandwich, broasted chicken, and the pizza is really good too.
I have one major gripe with this place though. If you hang out there and have a few too many and decide to take a taxi home, they will tow your ass. So it’s like they punish you for over serving you. What the shit is that?

Ah yes… the classic «Irish» bar. To be entirely honest, these types of bars are no longer anything special throughout this area and for the most part, they are all the same. This is not to say that Kenny’s is not a nice place.
Located in a small shopping-​center type area, there is not a lot of parking available and it can be missed easily if you are not looking for it. The interior is open and nice, with dark lighting and signs and other items displayed across the walls. The bar area is large and has tons of seats surrounding it in case you would prefer to stay away from the regular table seating. There is also a small section of arcade games available, including at least once slot machine.
I have visited this place a few times now, and the most recent one was during a Trivia Day. The place was absolutely packed and incredibly loud– much louder than small bars tend to be. Regardless, it was obvious that everyone was having a great time and in reality, isn’t that the point?!
My friends and I sat at a table near the game area to enjoy a late lunch. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries (my personal favorite bar meal). It was good, but nothing exceptional since it was just a basic burger. The service was friendly, but pretty slow. It took us about 20 minutes to go from finishing our meals to receiving the check.
All in all, it’s a regular bar and nothing special, nothing bad. I would recommend if looking for a typical bar to enjoy a meal and a beer, but other than that, I probably wouldn’t spend too much time here.

Great place to kick back and order a bucket of beers. They have daily food specials that seem reasonable. Good local place

I was dragged here for the Bears Monday Night football game two years in a row… and well it was okay. They had some free food special during halftime that was good… but I had already ordered food before the game (oops)…my food was average… nothing special… drinks were just drinks.
I really thought it was pretty interesting how there were people from all age groups… which gave it the neighborhood atmosphere.

Bar is fine but they have the worst pizza I’ve ever eaten (like cardboard and cheese very little sauce).

It’s fine. Food wasn’t terrible, but not great — borderline good. The dining room is like a bowling alley dining room — I don’t even know if that makes any sense — but that’s the first thing that came to mind. The bar area is your typical neighborhood bar, it is a wrap around, so its size-​able. A few bar games. Bathroom, clean.
NOT an Irish Bar as it claims.

Eh. Whenever I’m here I feel like an outsider. Everyone who’s everyone that went to the local high schools knows each other. I’m not from around these parts so I only know the small crew I’m with that did go to the local high schools. Don’t get me wrong, I love the crew I’m there with but… yeah…
Food is good, I enjoy their fish n chips. They have food specials everyday of the week, I believe. Decent beer prices. I have no issue getting wasted here and because it’s one of the better bars in the area I will be back time after time with my crew, as I have in the past.

Been going here for years. It is one of the better bars in the Countryside/​LaGrange area.
They have specials on drinks every day. Their food is pretty good, your average bar fair, but their reubens and burgers are extra delicious.
They have darts and a few other games. The staff is really nice and the owners are usually there. It’s a great neighborhood hangout and really nice when you can sit outside in their back patio and play some bags.
The only problem, I always run into someone I went to highschool with… for some reason it is never anyone I’m interested in seeing again.

I’ve been here at least a dozen times in the past four years and there isn’t much to say aobut it except that the bartenders and servers were cool and always on the ready to re-​fill your drinks. My ex practically lives here so that’s what brought me in so much. Too nice to be a dive bar, too «eh» to be anything more, it does attract quite the crowd on the weekends but would never be my choice if I revisit Chi-​town in the future.

I wrote a review for this dump, but for some reason it only shows up when I am logged in. Here it is:
Stay away! This is the douchebag of all bars. If you are 22 and your buddy works here, this is your bar. But overall a terrible bar. This place had a lot of character years ago before new management/​ownership. Now it has a bunch of hot-​headed pricks in their early-​20s running it who think they are running the Bellagio. Last time I went there with my younger brother, they served us a bucket just moments before last call. They breathed down our necks to finish it, and as soon as their clock his 2 AM (notice it is 10 minutes fast), they grabbed the beer out of his hand and yelled vulgarities at him to leave. «Workers» came out of thw woodwork to strong arm us to leave. There were probably 20 people stil there (a cop, one of the workers «girls», leftover girls from a bachelorette party, off-​duty workers, etc., but the two of us were kicked out (i duuno why, I was stone cold sober, and being 28, was probably the most senior person in the bar by a few years). These guys are total pricks and I suggest you go to a bar where they know how to treat their patrons right in the area like Belominis, Harry’s, Kerry Piper, etc. Don’t waste your money on this dump!

Average place. I’d avoid the pizza. Now that Illinois has outlawed smoking in bars and restaurants I am revisiting some old haunts. Management needs to get on the smokers standing in front of the doors and enforce the Illinois law requiring them to stay at least 15 feet away. It seems that smokers are unable to police themselves, and in defiance stand right at the door. If I were the boss, they wouldn’t be able to smoke anywhere near the place. But, that’s just me. Have fun at Kennys, its a great place.

Coming from RB i didnt find myself out here to often, even less often considering that I dont really do local suburban bars. Kenny’s seemed like the local LT kid hangout, always filled with alot of people around 21ish who seemed to all know each other.
The drinks are ok, the music not bad. Nothing special about this spot. just another local place.

Ricky is right. This place is the HUGE LT hang out. Everyone knows everyone in this bar. I’ve never had the food here, and the prices are decent. It’s the starting place of a long night, which usually ends in *ugh* Brixies…
They just remodeled the bar, and it looks GREAT! Brand new hardwood floors, remodeled the bathrooms, and the fireplace works now :-)

Nice atmosphere. Good food. Large area with tables for eating. Small stage with lights for dancing and karaōke. Drink specials are pretty good. Lots of local college age students there at night.
