Went here last night for the fish fry ($11 plate, $14 AYCE at the time of this review). First time EVER being at this place. Kinda hidden around the corner from the main square, and we were a little leery as we approached the doorway and entered. To our delight, the atmosphere inside was groovy and inviting. Flashback to the past. LOVE the decor! The set up is half bar, half private dining. Lava lamps, 60s-70s posters & paraphernalia on the walls, throw rugs, string lights... and electronic screens that scroll verses from well known past-but-never-forgotten songs. Totally. The attention we received was way above par, and the food was amazing. We got there around 5p and it quickly got packed. They had a party of 20 they were tending to as well as the walk-ins, and it didnt sway them at all from providing personalized attention to all the tables. Our drinks came with free pretzels & beer cheese (very tasty!), and for dinner, we ordered the cod w/fries, catfish with jalapeno hush puppies, and a deep fried potato ball. SOOOO delicious! Everything was well prepared and scrumptious. Serving portions were substantial, and their coleslaw -jacked with all kinds of added yummies- was outstanding! They also had an plethora of "table-friendly" games (jenga, mind-boggles, Mr. Potato Head, etc) that kept our 4 yr old happy & content during the time period when he was done eating & we were still finishing up, lol. Another positive note... there were a lot of older folks coming in for dinner, which speaks volumes to us... they always seem to know where to go for the best food! Would DEFINITELY recommend coming here, and will DEFINITELY be back!

Liquid Blues is fun, casual, unique. The decor honors blues and classic rock, a comfortable place for those of us that remember Woodstock (the music festival), saw the movie, and bought the LP, as well as those that have only downloaded the music. Food and beers were both excellent and unique. The staff was top notch. The only thing not above average were the prices :). I need to get back for open jam/mic/band night. Maybe Ill bring the Hofner. Oh yeah, and its a couple blocks from the Woodstock Metra station, a rather pleasant ride out through McHenry County.

Dont let the tie-dye fool you.. this place is throwing down the culinary gauntlet. The mac and cheese will send you into a food coma and the beer dinners will expand your culinary horizons. Happening monthly, but dont quote me, LB partners with a local brewery and creates a pairing menu feature 4 to 5 courses. You learn all about the beer.. and chow down on some yummy food in the process. Get Schooled and Get Fed.

I ate there tonight with my family and waited 90 minutes for a mediocre fish fry. Yes, I said 90 minutes. Plenty of other places in town with better food and much less of a wait. The only reason theyre getting any stars at all is that the waitress was polite and apologized for the wait. Will never go back.

The owner is amazing, along with the staff! It has a great atmosphere with friendly people. Make sure to ask for their Rum Barrel! They also have a pool table with a 9ball tournament every Sunday at 6:30 get there early.

Love this historic place!!! A must go to in the woodstock area. The pudding shots are to die for!! Not to mention, who doesnt like drinking beer while playing battleship.

Awesome fish fry and reubens, and the best homemade cheese spread with dinner...and when youre done they bring you a pudding shot that just completes the meal!

Its a hippie bar. Totally worth checking out, sitting down and playing a board game, or chatting with interesting people.

Neat underground bar with cozy feel and good tenders. Pool and large eating tables make it great to meet friends out.

Went for the Friday fish-fry, and was not disappointed! I recommend the fried-mashed potato ball as well.

Transport yourself to the 60s in this tripy basement bar.
