Edelweiss Tavern — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

this is my go to karaoke spot. Alex, the karaoke guy on Friday and Saturdays is one of the kindest karaoke MC’s you’ll ever meet. And they’re usually kind of mean lol. Josh, who runs the karaoke on Sundays, is utterly hilarious on the mic. Olga bartends like nobody’s business, one of the sweetest souls I’ve had the pleasure of coming across. Couldn’t ask for a better neighborhood Karaoke dive bar.

We used to love this bar, but then last night our 24 year old friend forgot her ID (she wasn't drinking, drunk, or planning on ordering a drink) and so the older lady behind the bar who we had never seen before refused to serve any of us. Went outside to wait for her Uber with her and when we came back in she demanded IDs from all of us (again) and some random bystanders she suspected of being with us, and proceeded to give us the worst attitude we'd received from any bartender, and that's saying something for Chicago. Took our business to Sleepy Village down the road, much better drink options for roughly the same price and you're not badgered for your ID like a 15 year old.

Avoid the older lady behind the bar...

I came in from out of town: This place was really cool. We went for karaoke tonight with a big group and had a great time. I ordered 1 shot and a beer for my friend, a tequila drink for another friend and 4 high noons. They triple charged me for 12 high noons and my tab was almost $200 dollars. I barely drink, so one of the high noons were for a friend of mine. I feel like that puts me in a very awkward position with the bartender to argue with how many drinks I had when it was busy with other people closing out. I paid the tab but they definitely scammed me out of money. Not cool to take advantage of a customer you don’t know. Felt really disappointed...
