50 Best Bars near Villa Park

“We love our local watering hole. They made my wedding cake 45 years ago. Thank you Rockwells!“

“I was exploring places on my way to a shopping center and this restaurant sparked my interest. I was so glad that I got to come here with my family. It was a great time, family friendly and the food was yummy. My meatball sandwich was a 4/5 and I love that one of the options were tots! It was one of the reasons I chose this in the first place. I would definitely love to go back to try out something different. My sister got a croissant sandwich, one of my nieces got a chicken tenders and mashed potatoes kids meal, and my BIL got wings. The mozzarella sticks are really good.
(I Just wish it wasn't too far from where I live.) When I am back in the area, I'm definitely swinging by. Highly recommend it.“

“Great sports and beer bar. They have lots of TVs playing a variety of games. Their beer list is pretty good where they mix the standard beer selections with local craft beer selections. Service is always great...they serve by committee so you can order and ask question from whatever server is nearby. Very good food for a beer/sports bar.“

“Good vibes only! Good foods! Good friends!“

Thank you front room for hiring a good quality person in a time when quality people can be hard to find. We enjoyed the time spent there and look forward to a future visit.“

“Have been here several times.
Most memorable was when my best friend's picked me up after a 3 week vacation and brought me here.
Katie welcomed us with a huge smile. She was professional, customer oriented and genuinely caring and friendly. Thank you!!“

“Living in the boonies of San Diego Co has benefits…(no traffic jams)…but few awesome perks…(like Tiki bars!!) Luckily the gods aligned, in Orange Co, and our last stop was the Stowaway. Intriguing, dark-painted, one small door marked the front of a strip-mall establishment… hmmm…sorta scary…but not really!! But there were two of us, and we had researched this place…so… The doorman looked at us, said a few things and unlocked a chain. We walked through curtains into the darkest bar I had ever been in, and shuffled toward the green lit bar…which turned red, then blue. The girl bartender handed us a card which we couldn’t read…it was really dark inside. From the shadows, up walked a bearded guy wearing a black shirt with hibiscus’s, smiled, extended his hand and said, “Hi, I’m “WILL”…can I explain anything to you? We had lots of questions…about drinks, Tiki ceramics, glassware, appetizers…and WILL cheerfully explained everything…He was fun, cheery, smart, and So Nice!! He brought us amazing drinks (a Tropical Margarita, a Cococano and totally fun ceramic sculptures from which to drink…an Angler Zombie Fish with a light, and Carved Volcano mug that had a flame show-by WILL, included!! Awesome!!) Totally wonderful décor…lights, bamboo furniture, comfy stools, the Skull Cave and waterfall, starry night ceiling, cool pool tables with lotsa room around them…everything thought through perfectly!!! We are definitely going back…VERY soon!!!! Thanks so much for everything, WILL!!“

“Rise Rooftop Lounge So Cool. My Friend Sophia Is A Great Singer In YouTube & Live Music. My Girlfriend Julie & I Are Really Love To See The View In Disneyland Fireworks.“

“It was fun! Great atmosphere and great people!“

“My wife and I love this place! It's tucked into a corner of the strip mall and attached to a number of food options. It's windows are usually open so it's a great stop on a nice afternoon. Omar is an upbeat, fun bartender with creative drink ideas and a joy to hang with. Good music, nice vibes and a cherished secret in a sea of corporate offices.“

“Great place for drinks bartender was awesome and super nice. Great beer selection and great music too“

“I have coming to this location for about a year now and have had the privileged to me most of all of the bartenders and to be honest I sometimes only stop by to grab food .. my fave is bacon wrapped hot dog , it’s loaded and so yummy. Also, all the finger foods are amazing and I’m able take home to indulge during my movie nights at home. One last thing - Amanda the bartender is one of my favs she’s so nice and even with a full bar she makes you feel like you’re the only one there giving you all the attention.“

“The girlfriend and I just moved here and checked this place out as it was close to home and had great reviews.

I had the smash burger and she had the chicken sandwich; both were delicious and the fact that they offer sweet potato fries is a plus. Extra points for the ranch, which was some of the best I’ve had and I never have ranch with anything.

Bartender didn’t have what I wanted but suggested an alternative and we both liked it.

The place is a vibe and definitely worth checking out.“

“Was walking by and went in to use the restroom. Was warmly greeted by the bartender and some patrons who were obviously regulars.
I decided to have a cold one and was pleasantly surprised by the price of a beer.
I'll definitely return and will recommend the Bottoms Up Tavern to my friends.“

“Started the new year off here with an early pre-dinner outing. Hostess was kind and welcoming. Georgina was an excellent server with great recs. Bartenders made the drinks just right, not too strong and not too juice forward. Fried olives were tasty! Not too loud inside. Lighting was okay. Not too dim. Such a neat experience!“

“👍🏻like it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“The bartender Jaqueline was phenomenal!

Tuesday night, the place was moderately packed and she single handedly served the entire place both behind the bar, in the dining room with the best food service and was the quickest most efficient lone server on the planet. She absolutely blew me away!!!! Thank you Jacqueline, we had a blast and great games with plenty of TV screens everywhere too!“

“Laid back with classic rock, some hip-hop and alternative. Good deals on drinks when you’re there early. Nice owner and locals“

“Jared was great. Beautiful place great atmosphere“

“Literally all I’ve wanted in a bar. Low key, 80s - 2000s music along with their music videos on multiple screens. Kinda gothic look inside. Dj Grego putting out multiple fire tracks de rock en español that’ll have you dancing around all night long.. April’s gotcha on them waters quick! drink specials! A very chill AF vibe! My hats off to you guys ? ???

Parking: No problems with parking! :)“

“It was our first time going to Rise Rooftop. The server and staff were very kind and provided great service. We loved the DJ and her choice of music. The food and drinks were very good as well. We can't wait to come back on a future trip.“

“Great happy hour and good food. We went here while staying at the hotel for our Disney trip and it ended up being our groups rest spot after a long day. If you're going to get a specialty cocktail, the Smoky Sparrow was really smooth and the aromatics were wonderful. The server/bartender Zaira was really attentive and kind to our group with toddlers.“

“A strip mall bar, that is exactly what it should be. Locals at the bar, cheap drinks and a jukebox playing. Will return for the drink prices alone and I'll stay for the good vibes.
Also the beer selection was excellent. Just good ol' reliable classics. Not a whole lot for the beer nerds but this isn't really that kinda place.“

“Great dive bar. Pool and darts“

“Great Bar to meet up with friends. A bit noisy but, still can talk. Large bar with a Huge selection of drinks that the bartender can prepare by asking. Televisions set on sports to enjoy and two pool tables and even a ping pong table. The Bartender was Beautiful, Sweet and Courteous.“

“Friday night Prime Rib is the best you’ll ever have...“

“I am reviewing the concession stand in Disneyland. The pictures above do not reflect the concession stand. They offer beer, sesonal drinks, and some top quality pretzels. I actually had to have one of each. They offered a Mickey Pretzel with salt and cheese. The cheese tasted like Cheez whiz but the pretzel was good. They also have a cream cheese pretzel that was amazing. Finally they have a jalapeno cheese stuffed pretzel that was also really good.

Overall this was the best thing I ate in the park.“

“Had a blast with all of our old friends from back in our "Bamboo Lounge" days. Gari Ann was the perfect Karaoke host. See you all next month!!“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food will exceed your expectations. The only improvement I would love to see is beers on tap.“

“Drove over from the JW Marriott to watch the Saints game.
Street parking. Free sat & sun.

Nice group of people watching the game.

Very friendly.
The bartender even made me iced tea.

I brought a few things from New Orleans to share.
Krewe of Tucks.

This is a good finds. I will be back.“
