Sideouts Sports Tavern - Island Lake, Illinois

This place was so cool. I was there for a benefit, and there was music inside, but with the doors open, you could hear it outside on the patio so we could hang out in the sun! After an initial slow start with the waitress, she was attentive to our needs once she got in the groove. The food was good, no complaints other than most of the vegetarian options were fried. They were yummy but few healthy choices. I did not drink any alcohol so I'm unsure about that area.

Three for breakfast. Plenty of parking available on a Sunday morning. Initial greeter was nice, actual server was not the most friendly ( her time to eat over by the bar). It was 9am so everything was nice and clean still. Food was good. Only one of the three orders was incorrect but not worth sending back. Price was in line with the area, three meals and coffee averaged $14.50 plus tip each. We will continue to come back.

What a place! Staff and Security are more than friendly and the entertainment is off the charts. Great food and cocktails as well. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

Update - Came back for lunch, and still a knock out. Moved around the menu this time and still intrigued to come back again soon.

Sideouts is such a fun place no matter what the occasion may be.... bringing in a new year with cocktails and a popular DJ, meeting up with some friends, enjoying lunch or dinner, celebrating with a few drinks, taco Tuesdays, making some new friends, bingo, dressing up for a Halloween party/contest, bowling or buying a bowling ball, playing the slot machines, attending a concert or live band, playing or watching volleyball!! All the servers have been super friendly along the way. Anytime I've ever been here has been a total blast, from when I used to ride the shuttle bus 'back in the day' to now, living just down the road. I've enjoyed Tuesday night's bingo and tacos, a Halloween bash or two, a NYE ball, a St Patty's Day party, an outdoor concert, and a bunch of crazy random drinking nights with a few hangovers all in good fun and company!!

Worst Experience Ever! I bought 2 barstool seets a week before the AC/DC and Led Zeppelin show. The seats were great. Right on the rail. They were advertised as the best seats in the house. I paid $55 for 2 seats. The problem was that guys kept coming up to the rail and standing right next to me and my girl in our seats. I had to ask 5 guys to leave during Led Zeppelin. None of them were happy about it and gave me a hard time about it. We went to the bathroom between bands and when we came back or chairs were gone. Now we have to stand for the headliner. We stayed for 5 songs. During that time I had to chase 4 more guys out of our "section". One guy was very aggressive and I thought we were going to get in a fight. He kept hassling us and wouldn't leave us alone. We finally left. I paid more for the seats than I paid at the bar. "Worst Seats In The House". I'll never go back and I recommend staying away unless you want to pay a lot for seats for someone else and get threatened with physical abuse on a Saturday Night Date Night. Worst experience ever!

I walked from Mavericks to Sideouts & I was looking for my inhaler which I found in my purse but the the door security guys that were working were FANTASTIC and calm. They even kept me calm which was different. I want to send a BIG THANK YOU to the guys worked the door on Saturday December 14th... Thank you so much. I really appreciate it that you did not turn me away like Mavericks did. I made it home safe..

Paid $45 to reserve a table that wasn't even reserved for me, they took it away from someone else because I showed them my confirmation email and the other person wasn't around. While others walked right in for free.When I was given the bill, other people's drinks were on my tab that weren't supposed to be, and on their tabs as well. Double charging. Totally ripping everyone off. Don't waste your time or money.

Greatest summer/winter experience I`ve ever had. The food - they are at the top of their game. The atmosphere - over the top exciting.. The gambling -----FUGETTABOUTIT.... Nothing compares... One more statement `I`d like to make ... A shout out to my cousin Jerry who really made 3D Bowl-Sideouts into a phenomenal place of entertainment
