Best bar in DeKalb, Illinois (IL) 2024

Came out for a drink on a Friday night with my 86 year old grandmother who has a hard time walking because she has had bad knees her entire life. When we got there the gentleman standing at the front door asked to see her I.D. and my grandmother LOVED that. He noticed her having a hard time walking and asked what her condition was and they talked for a little while and I went and had a drink. A few minutes pass by and my grandmother comes over to me crying tears of joy saying that this man offered to rehab my grandmother for FREE and he promised he could get her walking like she never has before. That was last week. Today my grandmother came over to my house and you would not believe the progress she has made. She's walking better than she ever has. This man took time out of his life to help my elderly grandmother out and we are so very thankful. I don't remember his name but I know he had a beautiful mullet. Other than that the bathrooms need some work. Nice place. ~CJ

Hometown just reintroduced their taco Tuesday and trivia night. I was hesitant to go at first due to the pandemic, but my worries were eased when I saw that the tables were separated (some removed) and not every table was taken. My friends and I sat between the bar and the pinball machines which created a very comfortable distance. The tacos were good, the staff was friendly and responsive, and the drink they recommended was great too! It was just like the good old days, but with more space. ~Brent
