Standard Bar and Grill — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

Some time ago while in the area running errands I stumbled upon Standard Bar & Grill. As a college football enthusiast, it instantly became a bookmark once I saw that the bar was a supporter of the LSU Tigers. At the beginning of the college football season I loved the idea of visiting the college football supportive bars because the environment is the second best thing to being at an actual sporting event. Furthermore, I visited it on New Years Day to watch the LSU Tigers vs UCF Knights.

I always visualized the inside of the bar as something on the lines of a Buffalo Wild Wings, but once I entered it, it looked like your average sports bar with many televisions inside. And in this case, it was filled with die-hard LSU fans, which I expected upon visiting.

The menu consisted of foods, such as burgers, pizza, salad, wraps, tacos, wings, chicken tenders, sandwiches and tortilla chips. There were vegan choices too! With that, the meatless sloppy joe dip was one of the items that caught my interest, which consisted of vegan meat crumbles, melted Chihuahua cheese served with garlic bread. I ended up ordering a pepperoni pizza due to it being the only thing that my appetite could handle at the time.

Considering that the bar was crowded, I did not have any expectations on receiving my food fast, but it was received in a timely manner that was not disappointing. Even though I had just a water and my food, the bartender was very attentive to not just me, but the others that sat at the bar, as well, which is something that I always admire about bartenders and servers. I cannot say much about the pepperoni pizza I ordered, but it did do its job.

Options for parking include metered parking near the bar, or either neighborhood parking which could put you further out from the bar. I ended up finding a spot near the bar paying only $4 at the meter for just 2-hours. With that, I recommend arriving to the bar early or either taking the train if you live outer neighborhood.

Overall, I had a great time at Standard Bar & Grill, and definitely would return, but that would be strictly for sporting events only. With that, I will surely be on the lookout for future LSU Tigers games, even though the bar supports all of our other Chicago sporting teams. I tend to get much rowdier watching college football versus the professional teams.

Take note of their everyday specials, which involve food, beer, cocktails, shots and wine. With all being mentioned, I hope this review assists you in any...

I have been coming to this place for some time over 10 years now, great great place to come watch any MMA or boxing match in a nice pleasant atmosphere where you feel safe and not have to worry if the opponents crowd will want to start a fight with ya. Every time I go end up talking to the opposition and talk about the fight and fighters in a friendly and rational way like it should always be. The servers are very attentive polite and kind and it's fair to add they are all young and pretty, guys at the door a respectful and polite they don't treat you like cattle or like by them letting you in they are doing you a favor.

Manager possible owner is always there overlooking the whole thing, so If you're on the northside of the city and want to catch a PPV sporting match that's your place to go. Ohhhhh there are so many screens you always get a good view of the event there is a second floor and they let you stand by the staircase to watch down from above, the drinks are drinks priced reasonably and bar food very descent as well, all in all great place it...

My friend and I showed up for a party and didn’t want to sit with the big party just yet. There was an open space directly across from our reservation. Saw no harm in sitting next to the table ( it should be noted that this was not at the actual table) The waitress warned us that a party was coming in 20 minutes. We asked if we could sit until they arrived . The question was not met warmly and the two of us were made to feel like we were doing something wrong even though we weren’t even sitting at the table. It should also be noted that we were more than willing to move when the party arrived (covid). We were really just trying to have a private conversation. The waitress was EXTREMELY rude. The waitress did come to apologize and expressed that she was getting directions from her manager to give those directions; but the act of being rude and the condescending tone was extremely difficult to ignore. Rather the message was from her manager or not the message/tone expressed to us was nasty. Her name was MEGAN working upstairs on 4/16/21...
