R Place

Stop in a few time now when I have business across the street at the VFW.
It just a bar nothing great had ok service. The place was clean. There is not a lot of places around this is one of the few in area that you can stop in and have a drink.

Came here to write a review and am blown away at the stars. Just visited this «dive» bar for the first time. My bf and I love a dive bar for a few drinks and apps. Even better there was ½ price pizza. Peggy was behind the bar. Went to sit at the bar (5 people spread out across bar stools and about 10 at tables). We kindly asked if the seat was taken and a women insisted for us to sit bc no one was using it. Peggy then addressed us with a hand gesture to move down and said to move down because someone was «there» (woman next to seat said he’s been standing). Rude.
Cleaned the tables after people left. Didn’t check on beers. Fries took forever, watched bartender drag GARBAGE across the floor then to bring out our fries. I work in the service industry and refused to eat. Asked for the check and she seemed surprised — we expressed our disappointment. She looked at us with this look like we didn’t belong there in the first place. We live close in oak park and wanted to try something new. She then started cleaning the other end of the bar. We asked to get closed out. She said we don’t owe anything. Either way. This was all taken care of wrong. We are absolutely willing to pay and rudely told us we don’t owe for not enjoying it. Fine but still. R place. Exactly. If you aren’t one of «them» don’t bother with this place.

Visited there again tonight! The food and Service is always good! They have BBQ Ribs only on Thursday! They are outstanding! Peggy is behind the Bar and her service is outstanding!
I also love their pizza! I do request a little extra sauce on the pizza though. Because it is so good! Also love Nicki!

Good Pizza & Wings. Drink specials and buffet specials with big games. Lots of tv’s and good service not bad for the whole family.

I am bored… The juke box is not working. Maybe I’ll be back one day. Domestic bucket was $ 14. Vodka and cranberry was $ 5.

I absolutely love going there they have great food and nice bartenders… R-​Place is fabulous place to have birthday parties or even fundraising events.

Had the time of my life! If your looking for place for a private celebration you will find it here! I celebrated my surprise 50^th birthday party here! If I had to have planned it I wouldn’t of changed anything! The place was exactly what I wanted! Clean good food & best friendly staff I encountered! Thank you so much Helen Patty and Nicki! Oh yes & Tony the cook! …still hearing about how everyone loved the place & how much fun it was! Thank thanks thanks! Sonia & Tom

I took my son there last night around 7 pm. (It was a Sunday). We were in the mood for some pub grub and a couple beers. I was excited to try the food after reading the reviews on here. Sad to find out that because it was slow, they sent the cook home. The bartender was very nice and apologetic. I might go back when a game is on and try again

as everybody knows, what makes a bar great is the staff. this is the home base if you live in berwyn because the staff are great. yes the food is okay (just bar food but decently done and homemade which is a plus) and the beer selection is more working class than beer snob. but it’s a friendly place to go and watch the game and eat dinner. and that means a lot.

I enjoy this place as the people are always friendly. However, I think the wraps have gone down in size even though the prices haven’t changed. Smaller size, less cost right? Staff is always very nice.

When you first drive by this place it doesn’t look like more than a ordinary sports bar HOWEVER it will surprise you! When I first went to R place it was for a friends birthday the plan was just to have a few drinks and call it a night but decided to order food as well. When the food arrived we were amazed with everything. They have the best wings, cheese fries, Nachos and Pizza. My entire circle of friends and I go here very often in fact its our usual Thursday hang out. We cant get enough of the wings! the bartenders are very friend SPECIALLY Peggy! Definitely recommend going. Try the wings (Hot) with cheese fries… Mmmmm ok I’m hungry now.

I recently discovered this neighborhood bar and I’m actually very happy I did.
I had been looking for a place to call «home» lately since I have been friendless and dateless for the last few months. Boohoo! =(It’s not really because I’m hated by everyone, but mostly because my 2 BFFs just had babies, and because I seem to have no luck with the opposite sex. So while wallowing in my pity, I started coming here solo.
Let me tell you, it is one of the friendliest bars I have been to in a long time. It is so easy to start up a conversation with the fellow patrons and the music has always been drinking friendly. They play XM radio and there is also a jukebox.
I really like the outdoor patio in the back. That is where you can find the smokers. I noticed they have a bar in the patio too but I think it is mostly used during the summer months.
This place is a gotta try.

R Place is a perfect example of why I prefer the dive bar. The crowd here is always innocuous. No pretension or douche baggery.
Everybody here gets along and just wants to unwind and have a good time. Nothing fancy. The beer selection is even below my standards, but it’s okay. Drinking here for a couple hours with a friend makes me happy, and lets me forget about this sick, deranged world we live in.
The first time I came here, I passed it up. It’s that small. But once you walk inside, it’s reminiscent of a cozy, warm blanket. But with more drunk people.
This place features more dive than Michael Phelps, but it’s all good. Sometimes, that’s all we need.

This really is our place. It’s a friendly neighborhood tavern with great food! I love the fajita wraps and the pizza. They have reasonable prices and it looks more divey from the outside, it’s actually nice and clean inside

An average bar in an average street. The décor of the inside is nice though the place is a bit small. An outdoor patio makes it seem bigger than it is. No other place nearby for patrons to bar hop compared to other forest park bars on Madison.

Really friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Different drink and food specials every day = awesome!

This place is the best around. Not just a great bar with tons of tv’s to watch everything you would want but their menu is top notch! Their pizza is fantastic! Great Mexican choices. The Mexican pizza sounds simple but is delicious! The people there are friendly and unlike many other area pubs, there isn’t a «clicky» feel about it. I’ve met a lot of people because everyone is so relaxed and nice. R’Place is a must. Great for lunch too!

I live so close yet wish i can be @ «R» Place every day its a great atmosphere ! Great food. Pizza is a must have. Very good service excellent to watch sports games plenty of T. V’s and lots of room to sit. Me and the wifee enjoy havin drinx there, oh not to mention we love the fact that both our names start with a letter «R»…lol… ITS a MUST GO TO SPOT THO ! Oh, and not thuggish at all.

This is a great local place. I hang out here fairly often with co-​workers. It’s a nice cross between nicer bar and dive bar. The front half is where the local guys and dart players hang out, the back half and patio are for the rest. The outdoor patio is the best place to relax after a long day at work.
The drinks are reasonably priced and the food isn’t bad either. I’m a fan!

I started coming here a couple months ago. It’s great to watch any baseball, hockey or football game at since everywhere you look there is a television set including an extremely large one. They also have a ton of seating and even what appears to be an enclosed back area for the smokers. They have pretty decent specials:
Monday: Miller Pints $ 1.50/Pitchers $ 5
Tuesday: Import Bottles $ 3/​Bombs $ 5
Wednesday: Domestic Bottles $ 2/​$ 1 off all Mixed Drinks
Thursday: 23 oz. Blue Moon $ 3.50/Malt Beverages $ 2.50
Friday: Martinis $ 6/​Pina Colada $ 5
Saturday: Miller Pints $ 1.50/Margarita or Strawberry Daiquiri $ 5
Sunday: $ 5 Miller Pitchers w/​any Pizza order/​Call Bloody Marys $ 4.50
Also the pizza is reasonable priced and very tasty! We always get the Italian beef and garlic, so good! I also heard their chili is great but have never tried it myself since I am not a fan of the beans.
Great place to hang out with friends! Will frequent many times to come!
