The bar is right in the middle of the place and kind of the star of the show, with booths and tables in the back. The crowd is good, the service is solid, and there are TVs everywhere playing all kinds of channels. Pop music was on the radio, which added to the chill vibe. It’s a great spot to hang out or grab some comfort food, whether you’re in a booth or at a table.
There’s also a nice outdoor seating area that’s great for spring, summer, or fall. Winter? Not so much—no heaters out there. Still, it’s a cozy space with nice lighting outside, and the string lights inside over the bar add to the whole atmosphere.
We came on a Thursday and got the boneless wings because they were $1 each (Thursday special). At that price, they were totally fine. But normally, it’s $11 for six wings, which I wouldn’t say is worth it—just decent wings.
We also tried the Southwest salad and the Anthem Burger, which is their signature dish. The salad was good (hard to mess up a salad), but the burger? Meh. It was pretty average, maybe even below that. For $18 (including fries), I didn’t think it was worth it.
Overall, it’s a solid spot for the vibe, happy hour deals, or just hanging out. For a full-price meal, I’d keep your expectations in check.

Unfortunately, this will probably be my last visit to Anthem. They have always been one of my go-to places for wings.
1. I advise you to bring cash. The 3.5% surcharge for credit card on top of the total bill was frustrating. 2. If you want the bourbon sauce, ask for a sample. It's not what you think -it' fruity.
3. After spending 60.00 on wings and a beer with my wife on a Wednesday night, not sure I want a repeat experience.
Cubs game on, karaoke, should have been great. Meh.

Terrible experience. The place smelled like a dirty mop. The food was bland at best. The ketchup tasted like the bottle was used for other condiments. The whole place was grimy. We came because the burgers looked decent, but they were clearly frozen patties and had no flavor. The mayo bottle was something out of a horror movie. They charge you a fee if you use a credit card. They didn’t know how to chop onions. The waitress we had was the only redeemable quality.

Absolutely love this place! The karaoke nights on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday are always a blast – such a fun and welcoming vibe. The atmosphere is great, but what really keeps me coming back is Tiara, the bartender. She’s incredibly friendly, always has a water ready for me with a smile 😊, and makes everyone feel like family. Her kindness and attention to detail are unmatched – she’s truly the heart of the place. Can’t recommend it enough!

Casual sports bar. Good food and good service. I had the three taco dinner. I asked if I could have a different protein in one of my tacos, but the kitchen was not able to accommodate. Taco dinner was good, and burgers were good. Waitress never asked us if we wanted dessert, but I think they did have some on the menu. If you like Moscow Mules, this place makes great ones!
