Does anyone remember a restaurant with catacombs in the basement that was somewhere in the northern suburbs?

Question

A long time ago I used to go to a restaurant that had a big kodiak stuffed bear and a nice big fireplace on the first floor. When you went down to the lower level it was all small tunnel like catacombs that had tables lining the walls. It was a really unique place to eat and on top of that the food was great. Can someone please help me find this place again? I believe it was somewhere north or northwest of Chicago. Thanks

Answer 1

Indeed it was Comeback Inn.  But I'm seeing some mentions in my Google searches that it closed in 2005.  If so, it is a sad passing.  Great burgers, beer and staff

Answer 2

I remember the place. It was called The Comeback Inn in Melrose Park, Illinois. It had great burgers, popcorn and a big fireplace. Been there a few times.

Also there was a Casa Madrid, although more of a club than a restaurant.

Answer 3

There was a place just like this in Boulder, Colorado.

It was even called "Catacombs".

But that was back in the late '70s.

And I don't know if it is still there. I hope so!

It was a fun place with good food and great music.
