23 Best Cocktail Bars near Oak Park

“Wonderful wonderful experience. This place is a hidden gem - the inside ambiance is great, service is the best in Westlake area, and the food was terrific. Wonderful flavors, perfect prime steak and the sauce that came with it was incredible. Shrimped fried rice and veggies was perfect. I was blown away how good this experience was. Even the crème brûlée cheesecake was incredible. Not a full bar but they do have wine, sake and soju cocktails. 10/10. Our server David went above and beyond. We need this in the neighborhood go check it out.Vegetarian options: Fried rice and vegetables and other dishes.Dietary restrictions: Accommodated all allergies and preferences.“

“One of the top three restaurants in the neighborhood and was my chosen favorite for birthday dinner this year. The menu is excellent, a variety of appetizers, salads and entrees which ensures good options for everyone. Highly Skilled Chef, his creativity is amazing, absolutely the most flavorful preparations, always beautifully plated and taste divine. Very Good Service, staff is casual friendly and appropriately attentive. Special kudos to the Bartender. She spins inventive and delicious cocktails, knows all the standards, is attentive to the clientele, and offers a really great boutique wine list. She takes pride in her craft. Foodies will not be disappointed here.“

“Excellent menu with great food, reasonable prices, wonderful ambiance and a friendly staff What more would you want for date night“

“My wife and I visited the Lure Fish House in Westlake Village on April 6th. The restaurant has a great design and was very busy but service was still quick. We had the sea bass, seared scallops, and a couple of drinks. Both entrees were delicious and the drinks hit the spot. A couple days after we left I realized that I had left my credit card. I called the restaurant and talked with the general manger and he found the card. Unfortunately I live about 140 miles away but the GM offered to send my the card which I received shortly later. I just want to say the restaurant not only has great food, service, but they are also very honest and we will definitely return. Thank you, David and Lucia“

“I took this pic of the dealers choice drink over their drink menu today… we asked for a Mezcal base and this is it! It was delicious!!!“

“I recently moved to LA from Oklahoma and everything here is just. . . Different. (Which is good)So when friends took me to Nonna’s a couple of weeks ago, it was such a welcomed experience.The staff was so friendly. And the sage cream sauce was so phenomenal I wanted to just drink it. (I didn’t. To be clear. But I wanted to). My chicken was so tender and flavorful.I cannot wait to go back!!!I absolutely love Nonna’s and it kind of reminded me of my favorite restaurants in Oklahoma where everyone knows you and you feel like family.I just haven’t had that experience since moving to LA - until going to Nonna’s.Thanks. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Sitting outside is nice. Drinks are good. Beer is good. The food is good but not great. The portion size has decreased especially on the happy hour menu which is usually shared. When its slow service is good. When its busier service is very slow and hard to get the servers attention because they do not have enough servers on. They think they are saving money this way, but people end up leaving or not coming back because of the slow service.“

“We came here for our anniversary. The setting is simple and casual. Our server Shane was wonderful--he wished us happy anniversary and was attentive throughout the evening (even though the place got busy). I wanted the Branzino (I was looking for a side order of rice to go with it), Shane checked with the chef for my rice request--he used the forbidden rice (from the duck breast dish), included carrots and peas with it (DELICIOUS!). What an amazing dish!! And chef came out to check how I liked my fish and rice together. We had a wonderful dinner experience---thank you for making one of our anniversaries so very special!“

“The ambiance of this establishment exudes an enchanting charm, evidently crafted with immense care and a keen eye for detail, transporting one into a realm akin to a mystical garden. The culinary offerings were exceptional, both in flavor and presentation, contributing to the overall delightful atmosphere.Our server, Ashley, epitomized professionalism and warmth, attending to our every need with attentive and gracious service. Her engaging demeanor and meticulous attention greatly enhanced our dining experience. Individuals like Ashley are truly a rarity and add immeasurable value to the hospitality they provide.Thank you,Rozi“

“Prosperous Penny is only open on Friday and Saturday nights in the Four Seasons in Westlake Village. The vibe is chic but dim. There's seating at the bar, but there are a few other couches to sit on. It feels very cozy, mellow but an elevated experience. I have never tried to order food here, and I don't know if they serve any. I've popped in after I've eaten at Coin & Candor for drinks. The drinks are great, as are the bartenders.“

“We had excellent service. The chicken & waffle sliders (3) are so flavorful and tender. I would definitely get them again after initially feeling that they wouldn't be my favorite appetizer. We always get bacon deviled eggs (5) for their simple goodness. Slider cheeseburgers (3) are another solid appetizer. We would have gotten the buffalo cauliflower except we had someone with us who doesn't like blue cheese. I was disappointed with the carnitas nachos thinking that was going to be my favorite appetizer, but they were just okay. The loaded tots were in a similar bucket where we all wanted to love them based on the description, but in the end, probably wouldn't get them again. They have such an extensive food menu that we will be trying even more next time. My biggest complaint about the atmosphere is the cramped layout and only having 1 bathroom for each gender where the sinks are located inside the restroom creating a backlog. I hope they can expand one day!“

“OK, maybe a 4.5 star. I have been going here for decades. The menu is diverse offering seafood, like most don't. This isn't the bad cooking smothered in mole sauce and delivered to your table like others. I think the current star rating is not a good as they really are. The reviews are pretty old, so I thought I would update mine. Will be back this week.“

“Loved this location so much. It’s right next door to Nobu Malibu and the view of the ocean is gorgeous. Valet parking available. This location had a lot of families with small kids present so the vibe was more laidback. We had lunch here and we appreciated how often the manager came to check in on us.For the four of us, we ordered the lobster bucatini, crudo, green salad, cod, and crudités. For dessert we got the Eton Mess and cookie crumble with ice cream on top. Everything was so tasty and pretty. My favorite was the lobster bucatini. We all got some cold pressed juice to drink with our meal and ended with some matcha lattes (we needed caffeine to wake us up after the feasting we did). Plenty of seating to do work and again, the view of the water can’t be beaten. There is beach access so I would suggest bringing your suit and a paddle board or surfboard if you have time to play in the water.“

“The paleta margarita is always delicious and strong and huge. Comes with lots of ice. The taquitos can be made vegan if you ask for all the toppings on the side and avoid the dairy and dressings (honey). The chips and guacamole are always like the best thing ever. Did you know they have habanero salsa? It'll knock your socks off. Yes, it's spicy lol. For a nicer ambiance ask to sit outside because indoors is a bit noisy. Bathroom can get messy at peak hours. Excellent service. I am a very repeat customer. Good for families or a night out with friends or a hot date. Oh and you can it all to go, just call ahead. Parking is dicey on Canyon Club nights and it can be cold at night. Cinco de Mayo is literally a no go, too busy. I detracted a star because there's nothing inherently vegan on the menu. But I could live off the chips and salsa. Seriously, go try.“

“We had dinner at 101 North last evening and unfortunately during dinner we had a medical emergency with a friend. The 101 North team was amazing in this crisis. We are also fortunate that there was a nurse sitting at the next table, who was also very helpful. Although we did not get to finish our meal, the food that we had was delicious. The goodness is that our friend is going to be OK.“

“A great steakhouse. That is what it is and if you are going for the so-called modern place is not that. Great food the best service. Well prepared steak, seasoned lightly, and cooked perfectly. The sides were a perfect size. The cobber was fantastic.“

“Came in for the first time yesterday. Our server Craig gave excellent service, was very attentive and answered all the questions I had regarding the menu. I had the 6oz Filet and my grandparents had the French dip sandwich. We all enjoyed our food. Everything was very delicious. We will definitely be back again soon.“

“I love Atost’s aperitifs and I love their customer service. Every holiday season I buy some bottles for coworkers and friends. They are always a hit. This season I purchased 5 bottles but unfortunately FedEx messed up my delivery. Emily, Atost’s event manager, and Kyle, Atost’s founder, were so quick to respond to my email and resolve the shipping/delivery issue. The company goes above and beyond with both their products and their service. I will continue to be a regular Atost customer.“

“Our over all experience was very good, however, there was a large group that were particularly noisy which distracted from the usual ambiance. The service was slower than usual also, not sure if there was a staffing issue. I had noted on the reservation that it was a birthday celebration, there was no reference made to this at all and usually the waiter identifies who the birthday celebrant is and at the very least wishes them a happy birthday. This was disappointing I have to say, and not the usual standard at Coin and Candor.“

“Food was magnificent i was highly pleased! I rarely give 5 stars but this place was great, the breakfast burrito was yummy but a little dry, the sausage was INCREDIBLE. I'm normally not into vegan sausage but it was incredible and then just look at the table it was gorgeous!! Service was simple and polite, the food came out fast for a sunday afternoon! The bloody mary isss missing something , perhaps the tang , salt, or just needs a little more lime. Overall it was the perfect brunch experience on a sunday, we were in and out in a reasonable time and I am leaving a very satisfied customer.“

“I've been to the Bamboo Room twice within the last six months. The staff is extremely friendly. Romy is very accommodating and Tom makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend the burger sliders!! We had two of our events here and we plan on coming back, so whether you looking for a lounge with a beautiful ambience, or an outdoor hang out while drinking some fine wine I recommend stopping by.“

“Me and wife were here in Simi Valley and came across the restaurant on 4/17/2024 .We decided to go in for lunch and give it a try and I'm glad we did .We got seated right away and had the best waitress by the name of Chelsea who gave me options on what to order great personality. I ordered Ceviche which was delicious and also a Carnitasada Mojado style burrito with a Modelo Michealda delicious. My wife ordered the lunch special 2 tacos ? we loved this place .I asked to speak to the Manager to leave a good feedback on out Waitress we were lucky to get greeted by the owner himself Jose who happened to be a great person himself .We will definitely be back .Vegetarian options: Plenty optionsParking: Huge shopping center so tons of parking.Kid-friendliness: I'm sure it is we didn't have our kids when we were there .Wheelchair accessibility: Tons of room“

“I've been coming here since I was a kid, so close to 25 years and the food has always been delicious. That bean dip has been a they serve with chips is second to none. Pro Tip: if calling in a take out order, if a lady answers the phone and puts you on hold, just hang up and call back in a few minutes, or you'll forever be on hold every time. Just this person though.“
