Island Tap — Restaurant in Libertyville

Don't bother going there if you want to get judged by your ethinicity and be asked to leave within minutes of arriving because Sharon the bartender said one guy from our group of 10+ was too drunk. 🙄 BTW....the guy she said that was drunk from our group was the DD....Meanwhile the entire bar was full of already over the max on drink patrons....Thad I don't know what kind of people you have working for you but seems like Sharon doesn't treat everyone as patrons of your establishment equally. She just likes the normal white people crowd and nothing else. What a shame!!! I say this because as she continued to tell our group (yes of Hispanics, willing to spend some good money on drinks and tip) that we had to leave as she serves this girl that was clearly drunken than sin and couldn't hold herself up. (Mind you I have pics). Way to go Sharon, you racist hillbilly!!!! Never again! I hope this place runs it's course and closes down. Or the very least...

I grew up in Libertyville and used to like this place. I recently returned in 2022 to find it in sad shape. Dirty, poorly managed to say the least. All of which I could have lived with, except their staff was demeaning and aggressive and started kicking people out 1 hour before their supposed "open until" time. About 30 minutes shy of close they started targeting what I can only assume as non-regulars to kick us out specifically. When asked what time they closed, which was 3am, they said they run on "bar time" which apparently meant 230am. Funny thing is they targeted certain groups specifically and completely ignored others (presumably 'regulars' or 'favored people') sitting at the bar who were welcome to stay however long they wanted. A sad degradation of a local bar. Will not return. They also would not allow anyone to play darts, which is the only reason we went there...

This was a horrible experience. I have never had an experience like this my whole like. As soon as my friends and I walked into the bar we could hear everyone talking about us and giving us looks. They all kept saying we were underage because we looked so young. After they had someone check our IDs we continued to get dirty looks. There was 4 drinks ordered and 2 shots. My friends were still drinking when the old bar tender yelled at us to get out because “no one bought anything” as soon as we walked out we could hear people cheering. This was like a scene from a movie. I have never experienced this. Worst place ever and ageist af. By the way I am 27 and my...
