The newest concept of The Karas Restaurant Group by restauranteur Bob Karas will specialize in good food, good times and excellent service and value. Squire Ale House, which announced today that it will officially open next week, will offer family dinners and casual dining at its best, with a new large patio, music, events and more.
The new venue has been in the works since Karas purchased the old The Lodge property a couple of years ago. The building had been vacant for years, but Karas saw the potential.
As the name implies, Squire Ale House will be something of a departure from his traditional Village Squire locations. While retaining many of the elements that have made the original brand so successful (“Yes, we will have smores!!” Karas insists), the new location will be what Karas describes as “a tavern,” with a combination of home-grown, standard and craft brews and a menu including burgers, ribs and the Village Squire’s famous broasted chicken. Bringing back The Lodge’s popular rotisseire chicken is also part of the plan.
“We are excited to bring our new Squire concept to Campton Hills,” Karas says while reiterating that the new venue will indeed have smores and the ubiquitous mai-tai’s so popular in both his Village Squire and Rookies venues.
Squire Ale House will also offer live music nightly, a newly-created outdoor patio and a gaming room.
