Play Book Sports Bar

What a bar, if you like Polish douche bags this is the bar for you. Did I mention you have to pay to park yea pay to park are we in the city or niles? I’ll never go to this bar ever or recommend is to anybody. I gave it one star due to the fact that the bar tender was very nice and attentive other then that it’s a no go for me.

Great service, waited 5 minutes at the door before seating ourselves. Karolina had her friend, who did not work there, deliver drinks to our table with her. Stating, oh he used to work here, because an ex-​employee should still be serving? Weird? Not sure how health codes work, but I assume staff only should be the ones delivering food to our table. We were a party of 4, but weirdly enough we had gratuity added to our bill. Funny how that happens, when that’s for parties over 6. Ending the night our Karolina throws our keys on the table chipping our car key. Guess we’re not allowed nice things huh? Thanks Karolina for ruining a promotion dinner and tainting our experience of Playbook forever.

I was only here once, and everything was okay. Nothing too great, nothing really bad. An okay place to have a drink. The food was okay, no real standouts. Prices average.
The best thing is the options; if you want to sit and have dinner, you can do that. If you want to have a drink and watch sports that is okay too. As is using the little dance floor. Most all bases are covered at Playbook.
The downside was parking. On busy nights the lot fills up.

Suiuuuuuper shady place full of some entitled cock suckers. So apparently they think they are some hot shot «club» in the north side. $ 10 cover to a bar on a Saturday I get they want to make their money.
I walk in for the UFC 194 and didn’t know abt the cover. I tell the DICK head of a door guy hey hold on to my id I’m waiting on my gf and I ll pay you once she gets there. Cool I walk in the place has no where to sit, or even stand next to a table — 15 mins later I’m like I don’t wanna be here there s no where to sit and I ve been waiting 15 mins to even get a beer. The cock sucker at the door is like I’m not giving u the id back. Claims I was there for a half hour and I NEED to pay if I want it back. Tries to threaten me that he will report me to the cops that I «stiffed» them lol
And as soon as I call 911 the fucker comes back to planet earth and gives it back. NEVER gojng to that shit of a place again.
Get rid of that fucker who thinks that having an ear piece makes him important. Tryin to steal my id and hustle me for money.
Will NEVER recommend this place to anyone EVER !
I rate this place a negative 100

We ordered «food» through Unilocal24; all of it was nearly inedible and ended up being thrown away. It was a complete waste of $ 50.
Do NOT order from this restaurant for delivery, and even based on flavor and quality (factoring in the usual delivery v. dine-​in degradation) I wouldn’t recommend anyone done here either.

This BAr is a great friendly people plenty of parking I have nothing but good things to say about them and the food is unbelievable!

This is a nice neighborhood bar/​restaurant. Staff was friendly and accommodating for our son. Good selection of food and beer variety. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. It was one of the better buffalo chicken sandwiches I’ve tried.

Never disappoints !!! Great place, food and music :)

Really enjoyed the last few times I went here. Today was like I went to a different place and I won’t be back. Came around 3.30 to watch the Packers and Chargers game. They have a lot of tvs for a sports bar, which is great, but this isn’t your typical sports bar that has several different games on to cater to everyone. It was OT for the Bears game and every tv was on that channel. We were nice enough to wait until the game was over to ask to change one tv to our game. They made a big deal about it. Inter divisional game and second game of the day… then they left the sound on to hear how the bad news bears lost their game in the after the game review. Really? Isn’t this a sports bar? We finally got them to change it to have the sound on for our game. The icing on the cake came when two minutes left in the Packers game and they were up by 7 but about to be scored on to tie the game. They thought this would be an opportune time to test out the music sound system so we couldn’t hear the end of the game. Really!
Not a sports bar and nothing special about this visit at all. Plus there were less than a dozen people in the whole place.
No reason to go back. Many other sports bar around that cater to the fans.

The Ruby Duby’s are bomb but our waitress was not. It took about 15 minutes to get a simple Miller High life and then she kept ignoring us?

Can’t complain about anything… Lol! Great food, décor is perfect, it’s clean, drinks are top notch, service is decent! Have been back multiple times!

Been here a couple of times. First time was with some buddies who happen to be Polish (they love this spot). It looks amazing not just for a suburban bar but in general. Its modern, clean, and has a really nice patio. The place from inside looks like something that would be downtown, but outside your reminded your in niles. Obviously the location could be better, its literally across a cemetery, with nothing else really around. But this place caters to pretty much anything you need. Its a sports bar, it can be a lounge, happy hour whatever. Pretty standard bar food here, Kung Foo shrimp is deff a must try! Gotta comeback and see how this place is for bears or bulls game, but Im sure it will be a good time!

Would give 3.5 stars.
Pros: Good sized bar with decent bar food and drink prices. Good amount of TV’s and when it’s nice they have outdoor seating.
Cons: My waitress was kind of rude at first, parking was a problem for my friends (they have valet though).
I’ll be going back to see if I just got a waitress who was having a bad day or if they all seem miserable.

Seriously Unilocal there are places that deserve ZERO stars. It is a cool looking bar but thats as far as my nice words go. I have been to this place a dozen times and not once have i said oh what a great joint this is. Hubby and I even had our first date here. Crappy place to have your first date, i know but it was picked due to the location more than anything.
Needless to say i am not coming back to this place. The food is awful, normal bar food that is crappy and greasy. The attitude of the servers and doormen sucks. I refuse to visit the joint. If i go out to eat I want to have a good time, not get irritated by the uncountable amount of attitude.

Awesome food! Amazing drinks and super friendly staff! Almost all sport games are on and always supporting Chicago teams!

Enjoyed Playbook again last night. We took advantage of the $ 5.00 appetizers and had crab cakes, macaroni and cheese, crab stuffed mushrooms and the all American sliders.
Beer for him, mojitos for me.
Delicious!

Football and Game of the week on a Sunday afternoon and this place was DEAD. I came here with a friend and we ordered the Miller Lite bucket and some food. The food is average and really just basic food. I would really encourage Play Book to revisit the menu because this is 2014 and more and more people are vegetarian/​vegan and barely was able to find 4 dishes on the menu.
You are better off going somewhere else… I really wanted to give this place a shot but don’t think it is going to last.
I will say though, service was good and the place inside did look upscale and well put together.

I actually didn’t even want to give a star. THE WORST service I’ve ever gotten. Waitress came and we asked for a minute to look over the menu. She never came back. The hostess asked if we’d been taken care of. She finally took our order after our waitress just walked around and talked to people. The hostess even went to talk to her about checking on our table and she just walked away. It was also dead inside. No excuses. The hostess then never came back and some random guy came to take our cups. We waiting too long and the waitress and hostess seemed to have an attitude as if we were bothering them. I was so disappointed. It was my first time there and I had been told by many friends they enjoyed the place.
I wouldn’t recommend going there. The employees all looked miserable to be there and were terrible at their job. We’ll never go back again.

Came here to watch Germany beat the bricks of Brazil. Amazing game btw! This game will be talked about for years!!!
We sat at the bar and service was great! Our bartender was very attractive (not that it matters or anything but she was hot and great to look at lol). She was very attentive and took care of us.
The bar is a nice modern bar and it looks stylish. The food and liquor was great.

Never ever ever have my husband and I received such horrible food on delivery. My husband ordered a dozen buffalo wings, and even put in the comments that he’d like them as spicy as possible. What he got was SIX parmesean wings, which were ultimately burnt, flavorless chicken wings covered in melted cheese. They went right into the trash. The sampler appetizer platter was a tin full of disgusting, grease dripping pile of mystery food — I am certain it was a result of throwing into the fryer whatever they had laying around the kitchen. I ordered the steak sandwich, which turned out to be a sopping wet combination of hockey-​puck steak thrown onto two pieces of burnt bread. There was no tomato, pickle, or horseradish.
I cannot, for the life of me, understand how this place exists. So, so terribly bad. Complete waste of money.
Edit: my husband called Playbook. The manager never once said the words «I’m sorry,» and in fact said that it was because he had so many orders going out at once so «sometimes this happens.» To his (very small amount) of credit, he did instruct us to call GrubHub, and told us that when they call Playbook he will authorize a refund.
So, we got our money back, but the unapologetic, rude manager was just another strike against this place. We will certainly never be ordering again.
