This review is based mainly on the bar service and overall atmosphere as we attended a School of Rock Glenbrook show.Sound was great and plenty of seating options . Very spacious...did not feel over crowded.Extensive beer selection as well as a full service barGreat service.Would definitely go back to try their a few items off their food menu and maybe hear live music.

Came here in karaoke night (not to sing just to hang) and there were some good singers. The vibes are chill and there’s giant jenga + some games and lots of space. Wish karaoke happened in a separate room so it wasn’t so disruptive but otherwise, chill place to hang. Best part is it opens late.

Only issue is they allow underage girls in and serve them as young as 17(so long as their fake ID is legit enough) and take issue if you point it out; honestly, they may have had a point what could go wrong by serving a 17 year old; except everything. As a guy I would avoid this place like the plague, unless youre willing to potentially be labeled a sex offender because you assumed everyone is of age; in which case, go for it? The staff is great the bouncers are beyond inept, like to the point of not understanding the liability of serving a 17 year old girl could go pretty terribly... Please donate your unused helmets, they really need them!

Great place to go have a drink and grab food! Literally and an option for everyone when it comes to beer, liquor, wine, and food. If your a blue cheese fan, dont even get me started! The blue cheese is made in house and cant be beat! Smooth and chunky 😍🤤🤤. Its pretty chill until around midnight and the pops off. So you can have a chill time or a club vibe depending on when you go. Plenty of games to play and plenty of slots to play as well.

I visited chicago recently and stopped by home bar to have some drinks with my girlfriend. The atmosphere was nice and it started to get crowded but I have to say our bartender Sam was awesome. Fully attentive to the large amount of customers even as it got more busy and we really enjoyed chatting with her. Drinks were top notch as well. Will be back

Did my daughters 21st birthday party on 10/07/23. Spoke to one of the managers when I got there with a cake, he immediately set me up with seating for the party. Two Amazing bar tenders that was so attentive and helpful took my appetizers order and waited for thumbs up to get it started when my guest arrive. The cook was so sweet and welcoming. And what can I say about the amazing DJs and bouncers. Hands down you want to have a great time and meet new people and get service this is the place to be. Thanks to all at House of entertainment for making my daughters bday memorable.

Came in on a Friday afternoon, it was completely dead inside. Sat at table for a few minutes While the weight staff continued chatting among themselves, wasnt even greeted. Felt uncomfortable being inside the place. As our group walked out they were nice enough to say goodbye. Lol

Racist security guards towards black men. Falsely accusing patrons of having warrants. I know nothing won’t be done about this besides denying these disrespectful security guards behavior who are other men of color how ironic. But I’ll take my money and time elsewhere, and definitely won’t be coming back.

Review №24

Upon moving to a new area that is much less diverse, unfortunately I knew there would be times where the color of my skin determines the way I am treated. However, it was super unfortunate to even be denied access into the building because of it.Therefore my review is fully dependent on the behavior that was shown prior to even entering.My friends and I had just arrived in the parking lot & was waiting for our last friend to arrive. We had drinks we were finishing as we waited, and the security in the most rudely manner advised us to dump them out and come in the building, no worries. We dumped the cups, called our friend to advise him we were going to have to wait for him inside the door. Before security finished walking off they kept trying to act like we were speaking under our breath to him or something in a “what, what did you say” turning around fashion. So distasteful, like he was gonna do something to us even if we did say anything LOLOLOL!!!!Upon reaching the door, security mockingly “I thought you guys were waiting on someone” and then told us they’re “closed” now and we’re not allowed in. HAHAHA!! How did you JUST come tell us to come in, but now we can’t, you’re closed? Wouldn’t that have been the conversation upon confronting us in the parking lot initially? To inform us the establishment was no longer accepting guests, perhaps at capacity? But that wasn’t the case. Security is for sure a racist, joke, but I can’t see House of Music & Entertainment being any different to have a staff that behaves in that manner.All in all, if you are white — go have fun! :)Editing to add since Kevin has responded, to again further clarify that we dumped our cups without any rebuttal, and was still advised to come inside, therefore we attempted, and then was rejected with 2+ hours until your posted closing time. You aren’t addressing that, because anyone with common sense knows what happened at that moment. There wasn’t a black person in sight, therefore you yourself were NOT outside NOR was one member of your security black, or even anything other than white. How sad honestly as a black man in a place of power to not have a team that is inclusive & diverse. Trust me, I wouldn’t spend my 1,000,000,000th dollar in that establishment. Best luck to YOU.

I wish I could give this place more than five stars!!! The customer service here is outstanding! Tony is a phenomenal owner! The food is absolutely amazing. Kevin and Matt are fantastic managers! Olivia is by far the best bartender ever!!! I have nothing to say but wonderful things about their staff. Their food is absolutely amazing 10/10 I’ve tried just about everything on the menu. Did I mention they’re soup is made fresh!? Please go try this place out!!

The bouncers were being racist as me and my friends were in the parking lot waiting on another friend that got lost. They brought a cop over to tell us we couldnt hang around in the parking lot. A couple minutes later we went to go in and they told us the place was closed. They then proceeded to let 2 people in as we were walking away. No surprise, we just so happened to be all black.

Review №31

It is a cool concept and felt like home with a Sports Bar attached. It wasnt particularly crowded but they must have been short a bartender and maybe a cook, because service was slow. I ordered a chopped salad and a cup of soup. Im sure it was all of 45 minutes before they came to tell me they were out of the soup. I told them Id just take the salad and 5 or 10 minutes later it appeared. The bartender was doing her best and never really got much of a break and was working hard to keep everyone happy. Still she couldnt keep up.I will probably go back some time, but since I only went there toeat that night and it took almost an hour, I will probably eat elsewhere first.

If you’re looking for a place to have a holiday/birthday get together this is a great place to do so. We celebrated my husband‘s birthday as well as our annual Christmas gathering at Home Bar. We worked with the manager, Kevin, and he was extremely accommodating and so great with communicating through email/phone. He was even able to have karaoke available for our party. The bar was very nicely decorated with beautiful Christmas holiday decorations. The bartenders were of extremely quick with making drink orders and very kind. It’s a great place to get together with friends. Everybody at the party complemented our choice of venue!

Review №37

This only gets 1 star because the security was super friendly. It was basically empty when we went, maybe 10 people at the bar. We sit at the bar and get straight up ignored for 10 minutes. The bartender looked at us multiple times and went on her phone instead. Even when we leaned forward asking for service she walked away on her phone. (That should’ve been the giveaway) Gave us eye rolls the entire night. I don’t know if they are short staffed or what. Finally another bartender came over and we ordered our drinks (the menu for tap beer is not updated btw) and waited and waited and we finally wave one bartender over and order food. Tried to get another drink but they look at you and know you need something and walk to opposite direction. There were 10-20 people at the bar at this point still empty. She brings our food out without some of the sides and doesn’t get or offer us more drinks (clearly empty) and so somebody in our party had to eat their full meal with NO drink and we tried waving them down and ordering a drink many times. Another 20+ minutes go by, nothing. our party member went to other side of bar to get a drink and had to wait another 5 minutes. A couple comes and sits next to me and gets up and leaves because they sat there for probably 15 minutes with no service. I get one more drink after trying and failing multiple times (bartender totally ignoring us) and our party member tries and once again goes to other side of bar and waits 15 minutes. Nothing. Tried again where we were sitting. Nope! Couldn’t get a drink at all. Even waving them down (when they’re doing nothing). We decide to just leave (another man sitting next to us NEVER got service and left as well). I have to wave down a security guard to tell the bartender 3 feet from us, we need to close out because I tried countless times already. Last time we came, we had amazing service and the food was great. This time it was the absolute worst service and even the food that wasn’t supposed to be spicy was extremely spicy. We were there over an hour and a half and I got two drinks that’s how long it took with 10-15 people at the bar. Worst service in the world honestly. I can’t imagine when the place is busy! Such a let down. I mean, people came and left without service because we were being totally ignored. At one point the people around us start to laugh because how bad the service was. I’ve been in the service industry before, and this would have never been tolerated. Ignoring people when they first sit down to order drinks and go on your phone instead is unreal. We loved this place, but don’t think we will ever be back.

Im a frequent customer and I have noticed that they always change staff or at least we are always served by someone different. It bothered me a lot to see how a waitress at the bar treated my friend very badly just because he didnt speak English well. I really didnt leave a tip this time because I think the waitress didnt deserve it. It is a bar that I like to go to, but I am hesitating to do it again.

The very first time I went here, the place was busy and buzzing. Granted that was when they first opened years ago! It was fun to come back and visit on a random Wednesday night, which seems to be a slower time for them. Everyone was kind and attentive and it was nice it wasnt so loud and crazy in there. The food... Let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised! The Italian Beef Soup and steak Nachos were incredible! You can tell they make everything from scratch! The steak was tender, the nacho cheese wasnt processed, and the beer was nice and cold! Ill be back soon!

It was my and my husbands first time there last night, and we got treated like royalty. Kevin and Suzanne were amazing.My husband had called earlier in the week to make sure wed be able to see Dashboard Confessional, as we were driving 2 hrs to get there. Kevin assured him it wouldnt be a problem, and he stuck to his word every step of the way. They even managed to get us a meet and greet with the band. They made it the best night of my life. I highly recommend this place!!

This place tends to be crowded, and if you want to sit down, good luck. Unless youve set a table aside, you wont be sitting anywhere. They do have an outside patio for smoking, but you arent allowed to bring drinks out there. Its okay for what it is. They have a stage and dance floor area and you can get very close to the stage, which is cool. They have multiple bar areas so the wait for drinks isnt bad either. Just wish there was more seating.

Review №48

Nice place that doesn’t focus on particular venue because this bar is divided into multiple rooms. For example one room could have house music while another could have a live band so their approach can satisfy people of different taste in music and there is of bars so wait time for liquor is not bad even the weekends. There plenty of parking so don’t have to worry about that either otherwise I’ll usually have pleasant experience here.

It was my first time here (late friday night). The place has a large bar area which helps finding a spot to order drinks. Sam was our bartender and she was amazing!!! On top of her game all night! She memorized our drinks so eventually all we had to do was wave at her and boom, drinks ready. Shes super sweet and definately would come back just for her. Later in the night more and more people showed up. Ed the bouncer approached us and made us feel super safe being there (it was only us girls). He said any problems we have then just let him know. Overall great first expierence here! Definately will come again. Both Sam and Ed made us feel super welcome and we had a great time.

The owner is a pure racist. I watched him kicked multiple people out on different night for sagging their pants. None of which where sagging there pants and the owner wasnt even there to actually see them he just chooses someone of color to kick out every night. I will no be supportive to this bar again.Edit: now you’re saying that a person was asked twice when no one asked twice. The person was told to leave right away after only being there for 20 mins. Also the person lifted his shirt and showed cameras that his pants were at his waist line. Which i will be getting a hold of. Then you say come soeak with management but when i asked to speak with management i was told no i could not by your terrible security.

Great venue in the burbs to catch a show. Ive seen several concerts here, ranging from small local bands to relatively well known acts. The sound has been good each time Ive been there and the fact that its not a too far from where I live makes it a much easier commute than the city.

They kick me out for no reason even tonight I had a bar tab I was going to pay. I wouldn’t go back there for all the tea in China. They don’t appreciate customer paying for anything. The bouncers think they have all they power and will kick out of the bar if you do anything they don’t like. I will never go to this bar if my life dependent on it I would just stay joke and chill. Bike bar is the biggest joke in the world. Do not support this bar. They do not deserve it.

I enjoyed coming here on Sunday nights. This particular night: 6-12-20, it is outside. Alll staff are very busy in installing an electric extension cord to power up outside flood lamps. The key bartender who waits on me has past me over 8 + times and never comes over to take my order. The lights can wait!! From one CSA to another. Customers come first! I didnt see that here. I am very disappointed!Two other times in December of 2020 , The place is open during the pandemic. 4 signs state that you have to wear masks when you enter and mingle with the staff or customers. I have only seen 1 person and me wear a mask. The bartenders took my order and twice attempted to make my drink with their mask off. I said to them that I got to go. I am not going back there since they violated CDC regulations! Very poor service!

Review №57

Came in on a Sunday with a party of 6, and the establishment was fairly empty. Only two other larger parties and a table with a couple.It took over 55 minutes to get our food after ordering, and when we finally had our food at the table it was essentially cold. Almost as if it was cooked and then left out for 10 or so minutes. Some of the fries were still warm, but the hamburger was cold and so were the two orders of tacos.No clue if management was changed or if the kitchen is simply understaffed, but last summer this place was a whole lot better. Service being phenomenal and the food coming out after 15 or so minutes.Dont think Ill be returning to find out, but the tacos might have been half decent if they were a bit warmer.

I went here for lunch about a week or so ago. Had the appetizer sampler with jalapeno poppers, pulled pork stuffed potato skin(which was ridiculously wonderful, and a great surprise) sliders and another plate of the Philly Cheese Roll. Wonderful. We sat at a table with the tappers on the table and had Blue Moon and Miller Lite, its nice because you pay for what you drink. We are for sure going to be going there a couple more times for lunch while the weather is still nice. Tried a lot of places around Schaumburg area and its not that far of a drive.

If anyone has ever had a bad experience at home bar is cause it’s their own impatience. I moved from PR a few years ago and home had always been a place of acceptance for me. Especially for a persona who couldn’t even speak English. If any had EVER had a bad experience here, it’s carouse of their own impatience. I’m sorry that this isn’t a bar that tends to your entitled needs!

Worst service in my 34 years of life. Place is severely unorganized. No one knows whats going on. Bought meet and greet tickets for an extra 300. Got burned on that.

I ordered delivery from them: mozzarella sticks and bacon grilled cheese. My only complaint is Id ordered the grilled cheese without tomato spread and it still had it. But the mozzarella sticks may well be one of the best things Ive had in a while! And food arrived warm and much quicker than anticipated. Despite not being able to eat the grilled cheese, Id still order again!

A few of us come by here at least every other month. Great hangout spot with good food and some of the nicest waiters. It gets tricky when there are events going on.

Cool concert space with lackluster food and a beer menu that isnt updated.I had no idea what to expect but H.O.M.E. is large and clean. My buddies and I decided to have dinner, some beers and watch the Blackhawks before going to see Local H.They just had some tall boys but the two beers I tried to order off the menu werent even available anymore. We then ordered food and the sandwiches were about 75% bread with very little meat. I ordered the pulled port sliders and I couldnt even see the meat beneath the pickle, seriously. The other sandwiches at the table looked very anemic as well and they didnt say anything good about them.The concert space was really large for being in a strip mall. The club like atmosphere was cool to see a band rock out.I would go back for concerts but never again for food.

Ive only ever been here to see concerts, and the sound is VERY off. Vocals and guitar were drowned out, and waayyyy too much bass dominating over everything.

Very nice music performance space. Sound is great. Sounds guys and staff very professional. One of the best rooms to perform or see a show in the Chicagoland area.

Was there for the Saving Able show on June 15th. Sound was great and the staff really takes care of you. Probably my favorite place to see a concert!

Review №101

Its a decent bar. I took one star away cause the layout is a little weird....too many couches they should really make it more bar friendly rather than a club

My friends and I have been here a few time for the trivia and its always been fun. They offer a fairly robust beer selection as well as a strong menu.

Security here is obnoxious. I was on the guest list for a show. The guy at the door would NOT let me in. I paid. After the show, told my friend. He went and grabbed the list, with my name on it. Showed the security, they said I dont care.Sound is terrible. Food is ok, overpriced.

Always a great time at H.O.M.E. It’s local and easy to get to. Good prices for drinks, great food and customer service never disappoints. They always have a different event, show or theme every night of the week.

HOME Bar is probably the biggest music venue in the northwest suburbs. They always have good bands performing and Ive seen some big names here in the past. Its more of a destination as there arent many other bars nearby.

I cannot recommend this location lower. My goodness does it suck here. Not only are the advertised deals all fake, the barstaff snobby and snubby, but its entirely a waste of a night and any money spent here. DO NOT GO. Please dont, one mistake is enough. This. Venue. Sucks.

For this place to call itself a sportsbar is a lie. I had to bed for something to drink. The bartender couldnt of been more rude. I hate to see if I ask for a menu. And now they are running a floor scrubber. Why are you even open?

Showed up on a Saturday night Valentines Day as a matter of fact had a cover band that required no cover my first drink was free because there were bugs in the bottles got a little pool and ordered the nachos that were great that otherwise without being pure of heart I would have walked out without paying for because nobody knew that I had a tab and by 10 the band never went on and seeing as how the place doesnt have a jukebox we had to listen to whatever they were playing on the PA which wasnt very good so we left... House of Music and entertainment?
