H.O.M.E. is an impressive place! Theyre slogan, "Theres no place like H.O.M.E." is certainly true, especially in the suburbs. It is absolutely huge! You really cant grasp that from the outside. I think what goes undetected / not talked about H.O.M.E. enough is how great the food is and what an awesome beer and liquor selection they have. It is a sports bar and restaurant up front and a live entertainment venue in the back. It kind of has a feel of a little bit of everything, night club, sports, djs, rock music, country music, etc... This is also one of the few places with live entertainment where it can be busy and you still have room to move around, never feeling like a sardine! What I also love is the variety of entertainment and events that they bring in, there is something for everyone. They have great local bands and cool national acts too! Ive even been there for charity events and family parties too. Overall, I think its one of the best and unique places in the area and I love it!

Cool concert space with lackluster food and a beer menu that isnt updated. I had no idea what to expect but H.O.M.E. is large and clean. My buddies and I decided to have dinner, some beers and watch the Blackhawks before going to see Local H. They just had some tall boys but the two beers I tried to order off the menu werent even available anymore. We then ordered food and the sandwiches were about 75% bread with very little meat. I ordered the pulled port sliders and I couldnt even see the meat beneath the pickle, seriously. The other sandwiches at the table looked very anemic as well and they didnt say anything good about them. The concert space was really large for being in a strip mall. The club like atmosphere was cool to see a band rock out. I would go back for concerts but never again for food.

Came in on a Sunday with a party of 6, and the establishment was fairly empty. Only two other larger parties and a table with a couple. It took over 55 minutes to get our food after ordering, and when we finally had our food at the table it was essentially cold. Almost as if it was cooked and then left out for 10 or so minutes. Some of the fries were still warm, but the hamburger was cold and so were the two orders of tacos. No clue if management was changed or if the kitchen is simply understaffed, but last summer this place was a whole lot better. Service being phenomenal and the food coming out after 15 or so minutes. Dont think Ill be returning to find out, but the tacos might have been half decent if they were a bit warmer.

I went here for lunch about a week or so ago. Had the appetizer sampler with jalapeno poppers, pulled pork stuffed potato skin(which was ridiculously wonderful, and a great surprise) sliders and another plate of the Philly Cheese Roll. Wonderful. We sat at a table with the tappers on the table and had Blue Moon and Miller Lite, its nice because you pay for what you drink. We are for sure going to be going there a couple more times for lunch while the weather is still nice. Tried a lot of places around Schaumburg area and its not that far of a drive.

HOME is a good alternative for suburbanites to going to the city when you just cannot summon the strength to make the trip. A lot of musical acts come through on weekends and everything is fairly priced. The crowd ranges between early and mid twenties to thirties. Also a decent place to catch a game during the day and just hang out on the patio or by the bar. Certainly recommend it to those in the vicinity, but probably would not advocate making a drive out if it is out of the way.

This is what was great: open atmosphere, cool floor plan, low drink prices, lots of staff including security, great bands. This is what was bad and made all the rest unlivable: the music was TOO F@&*ING LOUD in the theater!!! My head is still ringing the next day, I cant hear, and I feel like I have a hangover on 3 beers. Hopefully, my hearing isnt permanently damaged after 3 hours in that place. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I just generally disliked the feeling here. It feels like a hundred humans were stuffed into a square room and were told to have fun. Very boring environment here. 3 pool tables that were just impossible to get at. I did give this place 2 stars however because the night I did go they had cage fighting in the back which was pretty awesome. Even cage fighting couldnt save this from a 2 star rating. Its just boring here.

Band Have A Cigar seems like weekend players my age. Its like watching Pink Floyd if Pink Floyd had six members. They were good once hitting their groove and they did. Closer was Comfortably Numb. Oh did I mention there a Pink Floyd tribute band? Sound guy needs help. Bad feedback and the sound engineer is freaking out looking for controls to stop it. Funny. Great time. Got to go there starting another set.

Ive only ever been here to see concerts, and the sound is VERY off. Vocals and guitar were drowned out, and waayyyy too much bass dominating over everything. Its sounded like this on more than one occasion. Its disappointing because the music venue layout is large and open, and I like that you can get right up to the stage (no barriers), but yeah, definitely need someone else to mix for them.

In area for work and saw this bar was open late. I was told by the awesome bartender Thursday nights are usually very busy but this night it was slow. There was some silly local girls and dumb drama, someones tatas got bitten. (Funny drama I guess lol) But besides all that it was fun. The patio is nice, great bartender and the restrooms were clean. I would give this place another chance.

Worst service in my 34 years of life. Place is severely unorganized. No one knows whats going on. Bought meet and greet tickets for an extra 300. Got burned on that. Made me leave 2 credit cards for drinks. Ran both. Thats 600 in one night I got burned on. Bartender act like diva models. Really they are dad less scum with hair dye and glitter. Poor attitudes. Never again.

This place shouldnt even deserve one star, i came here two weeks in a row for a car show and sat in there for 2 hours for glasses of water and appetizers. The service is absolute trash and seems like you need a megaphone to flag down one of the waitresses. Not to memtion the spider webs in every corner of the booth. Good food but everything else absolutley blows.

This place is big, but ugg the djs not the best! I have never been to a bar before were all the guys dance and girls on the side, the dance music isnt really the best. the bands are good and I was happy with that but as far as a dance bar forget it, the dance floor is dead except the few guy regulars doing there Micheal jackson immitations.

A few of us come by here at least every other month. Great hangout spot with good food and some of the nicest waiters. It gets tricky when there are events going on. Otherwise, ample parking and lots of spots to sit down. The pool table takes change only, so bring some quarters if you want to play.
