Reed's Local — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

Reed's Local. I started TRIKKING past here on my TRIKKE 8 (Chrome Model) about 6 years ago when I took a p.t. job in the city, and one day I stopped in. First thing you notice is the sign on the door with a "friendly" little dog, that reads BE NICE OR LEAVE. Nice and leave in the same sentence doesn't really go together if you ask me, but that being said, everyone in the bar is nice, even the guy that got a little "protective" shall we say, towards me because his gf was talking to me more than him, was nice. Anyway, I was just talking spiritual healing stuff with her anyway, nothing more. Mind/body connection stuff. So, they got Karaoke 2 nights a week here. Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Just a great, family owned "dive bar" with a cool and...

Cool dog friendly neighborhood bar with a great staff and clientele. We have a good community of people that come here, and there is always room to add to the family. Playboy pinball is awesome, and we all compete for the high scores on there. Also no nonsense about bigotry, sexism, homophobia, racism, etc. That will get you kicked out faster than you can drink a hamm's and old crow special ($4). We like to party, but maybe don't bring your yuppy friends that are going to act like they...
