tinleyjunction.com dining out the Tinley Junction | July 11, 2019 | 21 The Dish The Whistle aims for family comfort, caters to morning and night crowds alike Alex Ivanisevic Contributing Editor A modern, Chicago vibe with all the comforts of a family restaurant, The Whistle Sports Bar & Grill in Tinley Park is serving up homemade meals for both night owls and early birds alike. Mark Mikesell, originally from Louisville, and his wife, Stephanie, who grew up in New Lenox, established the restaurant at 7537 W. 159th St., Tinley Park in July of 2017. Mark said he entered the restaurant business after working “in corporate America for 15 years.” Stephanie, on the other hand, grew up around her family members’ restaurants her whole life. The two said they were happy to open their restaurant in a spot that provided them with what they were looking for in an area with which they were familiar. “It is family friendly but it is more like a downtown bar on the south side,” Mark said. “Our business is 42 percent food, so people come in here and food is our leader. It is all fresh — even our fried pickles [$7.49], we batter ourselves — and that is why we are successful.” Stephanie added, “We also serve breakfast all day, and the cool thing about us is that Monday through Saturday we are open from 6 a.m. until 2 a.m., and Sundays we’re open 11 a.m. until 2 a.m.. Our kitchen closes at 1 a.m. every night, which is huge.” There is also an ages 21-and-older gaming area A few of customers’ favorite menu items at Whistle Sports Bar & Grill are (clockwise from front left) the fried pickles chips, Gino’s steak sandwich with fresh cut fries, loaded nachos, the Crisp Punch and Hunch Punch cocktails, the Mini Turkey O’Toole and Buffalo wings. Alex Ivanisevic/22nd Century Media in the restaurant, and gamers are offered a complimentary breakfast between 6 and 9 a.m. The Whistle Sports Bar also has a lunch special Monday-Friday, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., giving customers an array of menu items at discounted prices. The Mikesells take pride in the vast menu The Whistle Sports bar offers with a creative variety of appetizers, entrees and more, which they promise are all homemade and fresh. With the restaurant’s long hours and full menu available until 1 a.m., Mark and Stephanie keep a staff of roughly 30 employees. “We’ve got a really good crew here,” Stephanie said. The Whistle already offers catering from the full menu, but because of the restaurant’s popularity, the Mikesells hope to open a space next to its location as a party venue to host events by fall. “The staff and the people that come here are what makes the sports bar so successful,” said Dominic Botta, Stephanie’s younger brother, who manages The Whistle Sports Bar & Grill 7537 W. 159th St. in Tinley Park Hours • 6 a.m.-2 a.m. Monday-Saturday • 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Sunday Kitchen hours • Open until 1 a.m. daily For more information ... Phone: (708) 904- 4990 Web: whistlesportsbar. com the restaurant. “The regulars that come in weekly and help make this bar go round and really talk us up are a part of that. Also, having the staff here that gives off the ambiance and personality of the space we like to have.” Stephanie agreed and said, “We try to treat everyone like family,” adding that they make the effort to connect to the surrounding community and sponsor youth athletic teams and activities.
