The Levee — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

We came in expecting a fun night, and for a while, that’s exactly what we had. Our hostess was incredible — energetic, kind, and truly going above and beyond to create a great atmosphere. At one point, she even joined some guests for a quick round of shooting hoops, which added to the good vibes.

Unfortunately, that moment of fun took a sharp turn. The owner, rather than appreciating her efforts, fired her on the spot. The energy in the room immediately shifted. Things spiraled from there — our bill was misplaced, staff seemed scattered, and the overall experience unraveled.

The Levee is an amazing place.

It will have been a bar for 100 years in 2028. It is filled with history for everyone that will be shared with you of if it’s your first time.

Warren the owner is a legend of his own and a well known in the neighborhood.

Dianne and Warren make The Levee everyone’s home. They will feed you snacks and share history of Chicago with you.

This is a rare bar that still exists in Chicago.

The side room has two pool tables, free darts, and hoops to shoot. You can rent the room for very cheap for events.

It’s a local bar but they have poetry on Thursday’s, karaoke on Friday’s, pool tables, darts, etc. Would definitely recommend coming here for...
