Maxum Bar & Grill

This is a great spot for any type of person. If you want a chill place, come here Sunday-Thursday any time or Friday and Saturday prior to 10:30 pm. If you want to dance it up, come Friday or Saturday night after 10:30. They have arcade games, pool tables, darts, and PX90. You'll have a great time!

They have great food although they can be spacey on pricing if you request substitutions.

I stopped in here for a few drinks before the blackhawks game, and from the second I walked in here I knew I wouldn't be staying long. It was filled with the kind of guy who uses a whole bottle of gel in their hair, and thinks wearing all of a suite (including vest), but with a pain of obviously over expensive "pre-ripped" jeans and some kind of white snakeskin shoes. The other percentage of guys in there were way too old to be acting like they're they're just drunk their first beer, in whatever it was they rolled in from work wearing. NOT my kind of place. the few girls in there were probably all bartenders, but I couldn't really tell because they were all flirting with some dude probably double their age. The only two I could actually tell were bartender were the two bimbos ignoring people's drink orders until they were done whispering and giggling by the register.

outside advertised to watch hockey games there, thus why my group and i stopped in, but their shitty music was too loud to hear any game anyway. there was a few tv's all playing basketball and baseball, no hockey what so ever.

and to top it off? i have NEVER paid $5 for a draft beer. fuck that noise. we left after one beer each.

I didn't expect much by the looks from the outside but this place had some great food! I came here with my parents for a quick lunch. It scared me a bit to come in to a full service bar with dining room w/my parents for lunch! But ok we had a restaurant.com coupon so why not!? It was fabulous!! My Dad and I had a full slab of BBQ ribs and Mom had Pot Roast. Again not your typical bar food! But we were excited to only spend $35 w/tip for this excellent meal! I would definitely recommend this place. Just south of I-55 on Rt. 83. I never really come down this way but might reconsider this in again in the future!!

#2 in the "Best of Yelp" nightlife in my area. Unfortunately, this establishment closed at the end of June 2013.

Disclaimer: I have never been to this club at night. I hear it turns into eurotrash/douchebag central. I am writing this review based on my dining experiences there during the day. Drink prices are adequate, but the burgers are delish. And very lightly priced, which is good. Great place to stop in for a few beers by yourself, without being bothered by creeps (yes, as kristen s. put it, the guys here are old and douchey, but as long as you don't look like a Barbie girl, they will leave you alone, which is good for me when i just want to relax and be invisible). I usually sat outside to eat/drink, which is also the smoking area, so I enjoyed listening to either businessmen or bikers talk about their business deals/days. If you don't like to silently observe, this place probably isn't for you. I didn't come here to socialize, I came here to down a dank burger and have 3 beers by myself.

This place is interesting, I have been here once. It was somewhat downtime I guess. I mean for this place, they have plenty of seating. Although it was pretty empty when I went. Looked like a ghost town. The waitress kept asking us every 3minutes if we were ready to order. But once we did order we never saw her again. When the food was brought over. It was burned! Now when I go to a place thats empty and only a few people are seated at the bar. That doesn't explain, why my food should be burned. We waited for waitress to get back. By that time my friend was done with their food. I just wanted to get out of there, and head to Kerry Pipper instead. lol

Closed.

I went there Friday after work for a beer. The place was closed, and there was a "Property for Lease" sign on the building.

Their website is still up, though. Shows their lack of attention to detail.

Went here with a big group of Polish guys and gals last night. It was dance party central- on a Saturday after midnight! If that's not your scene, don't bitch about it. You know what you're getting into. It was an awesome time.

Great little neighborhood bar. You can get a couple beers a shot and a nice meal for less than the cost of an order of wings and one beer from Buffalo Wild Wings. The girls behind the bar are super nice and will regularly stand you a round once they get to know you. Lately the food has really improved. Last couple of times I had a great juicy burger, shrimp quesadillas (a special) with really fresh shrimp, and an awesome steak burrito. Keep in mind that there will be a really different crowd depending when you go. Friday/Saturday nights will be barely legal crowd doing jaggerbombs while a dj spins. Lunch during the week will be mostly blue collar guys (like 10 guys from UPS last time).

Came here on a Saturday before 5 pm. Service was marginal, so I left. I have been here before and have had better experiences. I'm not giving up after this one experience. This is a nice place with a nice environment.
