In June 1896, the trolley system that linked St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Aurora, and Elgin, IL began to offer service to local citizens. Overhead wires that ran along the track supplied the power to the single, open-air cars.The trolley came from South Elgin and traveled along the east side of the river, through the St. Charles Country Club and along Route 25. From Main Street, it went west, crossed over the bridge, and turned south on 3rd Street to go to Geneva.It was at this last turn that conductors would stop the trolley and allow passengers to disembark for a quick drink to warm up during the winter months. Welcome back to Whiskey Bend.

    Food was great. Dawn, our server, was fun, friendly, and attentive. She was quick to make suggestions and took care of us at our pace. The place is good looking with a really nice bar as the centerpiece. We walked through the outdoor patio and bar area. Because of the time of year, it wasn’t set up, but looks like it’s a neat spot to hang out on warmer days. The tall ceilings, and hard surfaces, do bounce the noise around some. You definitely have to speak up when the place is full. All said, the food and service were great and the atmosphere is fun and vibrant. We will definitely be back!

    Reservation was for 6PM, we arriv snob time and were seated right away. Orders Minestrone soup (very good), everyone's meals were delivered hot and delicious. April or server was on top of her game. The coffee cake dessert was one of the better desserts I've had in any restaurant highly recommended it.

    This place was packed. It felt like a true steakhouse experience over the holidays. Service is excellent. Food is wonderful. Me son loved the lamb chops. The white fish is actually an excellent price point and I think tasted better than the miso cod (too sweet for my taste).  The service is excellent and we are always treated like royalty. Wonderful birthday dinner. The entire family loved it. Thank you Gibsons for always delivering !!
