I once was a big fan - until tonight's very bad experience when the poor guy at the door didn't let me in as their entry policy requires an ID - fair enough - which cannot be a non-US drivers license! Really frustrating, especially when it's obvious that I am not under 21. Very foreigner-unfriendly policy. Will not be going... More

Jillian’s is pretty much a Dave & Busters for adults... I know Dave & Busters is for adults but any adult in their right mind would stay clear of that place. There are no kids running around, there are no crazy bells and buzzers and bright lights… it’s a classy trendy atmosphere with all the same amenities plus it has... More

It was understandably busy, but we (together with the people in the seating area right next to us) struggled to catch a server's attention. When one finally passed by us, she barely... More

The bouncer claimed that i was drunk when I was completely sober. I was with three women and he would not let me in. I am from Chicago and maybe he did not favor my Illinous ID but he has no right to claim that I was drunk. I would never attempt to go here again and I hope you... More

Do not give these people your credit card! We went with friends for a drink before a red sox game in June. The bar was very busy. Our waitress told us in order for us to be served we must give her a credit card. My husband clearly said to her we will be paying by cash please do not... More
