Friendly staff & Tiffany the bar manager is amazing. Humble owner, nice clientele. Extended patio / fenced in parking lot space with fans during COVID times w/ karaoke. Check them out & get your rush on!
This is a really nice Karaoke Bar, and the fod was really good too. No cover to sing, but of course, as always, tip the KJ and your bar tender and servers. This place even had apps for your phone that let you submit your songs on text messages, plus several monitors showing who's up, who next, and 10 to twelve singers deep. Have fun and enjoy Brando's Speakeasy.
Having visited the area here for multiple weeks, Rush Bar and Grill became a home away from home for me. The people who visit are welcoming and friendly, the bartenders are all great, and the food is exceptional for what may be considered traditional bar food. Gigantic shout-out to Tammy, Alyssa, Syanne, Shane, Frankie and Danielle in no particular order. They're all fantastic. Thank you for the great time and the memories! I hope to see you again in the future!
Super nice local hang joint. They have live music. Owner is chill too.
First bar i been to good vibes and excellent staff
Wow! Their wings! I had the boneless Parmesan Garlic and they were delish! I love a dive bar and this is just that! You can tell the locals take care of the bartenders and vise versa! Great hidden gem! I’m visiting from out of town for work and googled “bar near me” this was not the first that popped up, but from the pictures and reviews I decided to give it a try! Flying solo, people were very friendly and Danielle the bartender was very sweet! Thank you for making me feel at home! Cheers!

Local karaoke here in Lake Forest has an awesome DJ that will help bring out your inner voice on stage. The owner welcomes you to his place which makes me want to come back with friends and check out the game room while making a decision from their large selection of alcohol n' spirits from the bar.
went out to have fun at the Rush this Monday night. they have been reopened for several weeks and last night they had karaoke so i had to go. they are set up with social distancing in mind. fewer tables with more space between them. they also have a cool patio. i had my White Russian which was well made. we had their pickle chips and buffalo wings; both of which were yummy and reasonably priced. the bartender was friendly and efficient and the food came out pretty quickly. i will definitely go back, and so should you!
Was there recently with some friends. The staff and patrons were all super friendly. Especially we were the only Asians in the bar. The drinks were great, definitely wasn't water down, and not over priced. The cover band was fantastic, they played to the crowd and everyone enjoyed them. We got there around 9 pm, which wasn't super crowed, but come 10 pm the place was getting packed. They had darts and pinball machines in the back.
