Old Town Pour House in Naperville is one of mine and my boyfriend’s favorite places and it never disappoints. We went for a date night and it was honestly such an incredible experience from start to finish.
The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It is lively and has a great energy, but it is not overwhelming or too crazy, which makes it perfect for a date night. You can actually talk, relax, and enjoy your time together, which is exactly what we were looking for.
We ordered a mix of things and everything was so good. The BBQ platter with ribs, pulled chicken, mac and cheese, fries, and toast was packed with flavor and perfect for sharing. The chicken dish with mashed potatoes and greens was also amazing and really well done. We also got dessert and it was the perfect sweet ending to the night.
The service was great the entire time. Our server was especially attentive and funny, which made the experience even better and added such a fun, personal touch to the night.
Overall this is such a great spot and definitely one we will keep coming back to. If you are looking for a place that has a fun atmosphere but still feels comfortable for a date night, I would absolutely recommend checking this place out.

Stopped in for some drinks and snacks and had a solid experience. The atmosphere is very casual, making it a great spot to kick back. It’s definitely a high-energy environment—it was loud, but still "talkable" enough that we didn't have to shout across the table. One thing to note is the layout; they have several large seating areas, so it’s an ideal venue if you’re coming with a big group.
The Food:
We tried a mix of the menu, and it was a bit of a hit-or-miss situation. While some of the more unique shareables sound amazing on paper, they fell a little flat in execution. Honestly, my best advice is to stick to the "bar bites," especially during Happy Hour. The Fried Pickles and Popcorn Chicken were exactly what you want with a cold beer—simple, crispy, and a great value. The Snickers Pie is also a massive, rich winner if you have a sweet tooth.
The Drinks:
This is where they really shine. They have a massive selection of craft beers on tap (the Maplewood Son of Juice was great). I was also impressed to see several non-alcoholic options, including both NA beers and creative mocktails, which is a nice touch for those not drinking.
The Verdict:
Perfect for a casual group hang or a Happy Hour session. Focus on the drafts and the standard bar snacks, and you’ll have a great time.

It's always crazy busy when we arrived. Took a seat at the bar because our table wasn't ready yet. Staff very friendly and the place looked nice. Has a large party and staff was accommodating. Group had a great time. Food was good but portions were light.

Beer was good, kung pao cauliflower was alright, steak was frozen then microwaved for too long and then shown a picture of a grill. Mashed potatoes were flavorless and "charred" broccolini forgot to get charred. Music selection also sucks 😕

Great service and delicious food. The menu felt like BBQ meets comfort food in the best way, with a nice mix of choices for everyone. Great spot.
