Mr. Fife Posted December 12, 2014 at 04:26 AM Share Posted December 12, 2014 at 04:26 AM I went to a party last night at a new place that recently opened in Palatine. It was at the Tap House Grill on Wilson. With a name that has "tap house" in it, I expected it to be posted, so I left my gun in the car. When I got to the door, I saw it was NOT POSTED. I checked the other doors and did not see any of the offensive signs. I guess the "grill" part of their name sells more food than the "tap" part of their name sells alcohol. I went inside for my party and even had something alcoholic to drink while I was there. I was sure to pace myself as I was driving home that night. Going there for a party turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. I wouldn't have guessed they sell that much food, but I guess they do. I did not leave the place hungry.

Mer2112 Posted December 12, 2014 at 12:49 PM Share Posted December 12, 2014 at 12:49 PM I was very surprised to find Pinstripes in the Arboretum of South Barrington not posted. My Wife's holiday party was there Wednesday and no signs. This is a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's part of the Tap House chain it will be posted. They are slow to post, and don't put the signs where they are easily seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadyRunner Posted December 12, 2014 at 01:04 PM Share Posted December 12, 2014 at 01:04 PM Oswego Tap House Grill is not posted, just sayin. I also happen to know their liquor license is conditional on them obtaining > 50% revenue from non-alcohol sources..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the other doors and did not see any of the offensive signs. Good to hear! I think most of the "bar & grill" type places do sell more food than drink. They usually have a large bar area, but also a decent restaurant area. And food is usually more expensive than drinks... There is a similar restaurant locally that I patronize which is not posted. I sit in the restaurant portion, have my 1 hard cider along with my meal, and stay protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmarkla Posted December 16, 2014 at 04:04 AM Share Posted December 16, 2014 at 04:04 AM Great Clips in Cary, IL Posted with no guns sign. Went in after disarming and as it only takes two minutes to buzz my head anyway I got the haircut. After I gave the nice little girl a tip and had her remove my name and info from their data base. She asked why and I gave her one of the "No Guns No Money" cards. Came home and e-mailed corporate and the location in Cary with my displeasure. Received a reply from the franchise owner this AM that the sign stays. In the past I have had business owners reconsider and remove the no guns signs, not this time. Couple of regular barber shops in the area that I will now be checking out. If you're in the area and have the no guns no money cards you might swing by and give them one (just west of the Jewel center in Cary). As always, be respectful but give them the card to let them know they're losing business.I was at the Great clips @ 59 & 72 this morning and there was no sign up at that location.

Nanook Posted December 18, 2014 at 02:10 PM Share Posted December 18, 2014 at 02:10 PM The Fossil Ridge library in Braidwood is posted, but they also have a sign nailed to a tree in their driveway. That's the first time I've seen a sign on a tree. This library is really close to a grade school, so that may account for the double signage. The athletic field abuts the library parking lot.

lostspring Posted December 18, 2014 at 10:05 PM Share Posted December 18, 2014 at 10:05 PM While shopping in Rochelle this morning we stopped and the McDonalds on Hwy 51 N for a cup of coffee. It had an official posted sign on the entry door. There is another McDonalds on Hwy 38. We were on our way to Dekalb so we just stopped there. It is also now posted. I talked to the day manager who said she did not know when the signs went up. Told her we would not be back. She said she would talk to the owner. I suspect they are owned by the same person.

sirflyguy Posted December 23, 2014 at 05:00 AM Share Posted December 23, 2014 at 05:00 AM This may be listed here somewhere, but I am listing it anyway. The Illinois 8 Cinema behind the mall in Marion has a non-compliant "no weapons" sign near the bottom of the front door. I saw the latest Hobbit movie there tonight for my daughter's birthday. I pointed out to my family as we left that the sign was not the state compliant sign and had no force of law. My daughter then put it all together in her mind. It was a great moment.

djmarkla Posted December 31, 2014 at 02:30 AM Share Posted December 31, 2014 at 02:30 AM Garibaldi's in Hoffman Estates is posted. Do places that have gaming areas have to post? They serve alcohol but I doubt that it is more than 50%. The place is mostly a pizza joint. I see a lot of baseball and soccer uniforms on kids during the summer.This is the first time I noticed the no Beretta sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH8IL Posted January 1, 2015 at 12:00 AM Share Posted January 1, 2015 at 12:00 AM I looked at both sets of doors and didn't see the signs. First time I saw them, my thoughts were why are they all the way on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Fife Posted January 1, 2015 at 07:55 PM Share Posted January 1, 2015 at 07:55 PM Had dinner at Jameson Char House in Skokie last night, not posted. Good food and drink at a fair price. The Skokie location has it's own entrance, plus an entrance that is part of a hotel lobby. Neither were posted. Actually, it's kind of a strange situatiuon there because if you want to use the restroom at that restaurant, they direct you to the ones in the hotel lobby. The hotel is a Doubletree, quite nice. We lounged for a few minutes by the fake fireplace (gas) after dinner. It was my first time at a Jameson Char House, I don't know why I waited so long to go to one. I recommend.

brucellosis Posted January 2, 2015 at 06:25 PM Share Posted January 2, 2015 at 06:25 PM I was disappointed earlier in the week, went to Ford City in Champaign, was shocked to see the signs and they are fanatically placed everywhere. I said forget it and decided to go to GMC and Worden Martin was covered too, I read this thread and see sometimes these places claim their insurance company demanded it, I say B.S. and if its true tell us which insurance company is out there against our rights. I see these signs at a dealership and think someone ignorant feels a paper sign will stop a bad guy. I also wonder what are they so afraid of? perhaps they are shady business people and feel a need for such signs because of all the bad disputes they get. I haven't been to marketplace for a 6 months now, Im trying my best to not support people who are against me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
