12 Best Gastropubs near Arlington Heights

“Limited menu but very avant-garde.“

“This is a gem. I wish I lived closer as I would eat here regularly. The menu is a bit meat and tree nut heavy which concerned me but the sole special was delicious and the Gelato was lovely though the portion was too large. The prices were very fair. I suggest you try this restaurant!“

“Amazing burgers Kid friendly menu as well Everything was fresh and made to order Definitely will keep coming back“

“My waiter was good and friendly. I sat in covered patio. I ordered a spring salad with shrimp. blackberries, grapefruit, candied pecans, arugula and berry vinaigrette and a side of Mac n cheese. The salad was missing the pecans but I forgot until I left, I thought something was missing. However, the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The ratio of shrimp to half portion was good. Mac N Cheese was ok. Noodles were undercooked and some still hard/crunchy edges and cheese sauce was just average and a bit gritty/thick. However, I was not expecting my meal to be served with plastic wrapped plastic utensils. a take home box for salad and a take home container for dining in. That was disappointing. the table of eight next to me was a bit shocked too to get their meals in to go cardboard containers.“

“I grew up in the northwest suburbs and spent many nights at Durty Nelly's before moving away for about 20 years. I'm happy to see that the spirit of the place is still alive and well at Durty Nellie’s, just steps from the Palatine Metra station.

Two staff members who really stood out were Jessie and Austin. Jessie was welcoming from the moment I arrived, made sure I knew about the specials, and created a great first impression.

Austin has the presence of someone who is helping shape the future of the business, professional, engaged, and visible around downtown Palatine.

The combination of friendly staff, strong drink and food specials, live entertainment, and a convenient location right off the train makes it easy to recommend.

If you're looking for a classic Irish pub atmosphere in the northwest suburbs, it's worth stopping in and checking out.“

“Lindsay is the best. We were tired after traveling all day. The food and drink were perfect to reenergize us. Shrimp pasta and jambalaya were excellent. Service was great. Tonight we went back and took a friend. We asked for Lindsey and she even remembered us and our drink preferences. The flatbreads and chocolate cake are great. Cannot beat this atmosphere.“

“Reps is one of our favorite spots! The nachos and wings are amazing, and the food is always top-notch. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend it!“

“We held an 80 person event here and the coordinator Caryn was detailed, communicative and so nice! The waitstaff and bartenders, the food runners, and managers all helped to run a smooth luncheon, the busboy was attentive and kind! Everyone loved the event and the food and we already want to book again!“

“We arrived a little early but were seated right away. Our server met with us shortly after we sat down and within minutes we had our cocktails and our dinner order was in. We were served quickly and the food was very good; hot, fresh and tasted great. Always a good experience prior to seeing a show in the theater.“

“Came in with a large group and the waitress was so nice/kind and patient. Would definitely come in again.“

“Great food and service! Really good people!“

“I'm traveling for work, just landed in Chicago, went to go to the USO, and was told, as a veteran having had deployed to Iraq, that I am not allowed in the USO by some civilian. That's wild. Guy said he needed DoD id, then I pointed to where my member ID was. He said not good enough and told me I had to leave. I've gone to a lot of USO's and never been turned away as a vet.“
