25 Best Cocktail Bars near Aurora

“4 of us went Friday night 4/21 before the show at Paramount. We had reservations ànd our table was ready for us on time. The food was really good, but the highlight of our entire time there was our server Carla. Carla went above and beyond for us. We all agreed, she was the best serve any of us have ever had anywhere!!! Thank you Carla!!! "The Golden Girls"“

“Great and friendly atmosphere. Staff was attentive, drinks delicious.“

“Love the good and the great friendly service!! The best coconut shrimp appetizer ever!!“

“What a wonderful experience! A hidden gem that everyone should try out! THIS is by far the best Indian food we've ever had! And we've had many good ones! Veena is such a wonderful hostess and chef Rob's cooking his grandmother's authentic regional recipes! The best and most delicious and interesting bread I've ever had. Black linen tablecloths. The desert of the day was indescribable. it was so wonderful and authentic and unique. ABSOLUTELY enjoy this treasure, so centrally located.“

“Came here only because we were in the area. Took a chance and we are glad we did. The food was above par. The service was on point. The place was very clean. We tried the chicken tacos & White rice. Also we had the siete tipos de mariscos. This was a good stop.“

“The Alchemist is quite simply fantastic. I can’t think of anyplace where you can get better seafood. So many cocktail bars offer drinks with great names but with no pizzazz when it come to the taste. All of The Alchemist’s cocktails have pizzazz, and if you don’t see something you want, have the bartender mix something up for you on the spot!“

“It was our first time and we had a great experience! Great drinks, the appetizers were tasty and the main dish was a great portion. Sure, it’s a bit pricy, but in my opinion worth it. The service was great, and the restaurant is beautiful inside too. Highly recommend!“

“Went last night reserved a party of 6 but another friend showed up and Anthony the owner accommodated us. We ordered half the menu including the star of the show being the tomahawk steak. We shared all items buffet style sampling all dishes. Everything was excellent and everyone in the party was thoroughly impressed!“

“My bookclub has met here a handful of times. My sister and I have been here a handful of times. This is the exact place we need in Warrenville & Mo is the best!! The atmosphere is perfect, seating is super comfy. I can hunker in here all evening.“

“We had a wonderful lunch and our server, Mia was just as friendly as could be! Absolutely loved everything about this place! Definitely looking forward to coming back soon! :)“

“Being a celiac person, I love that they have options for me and I feel safe ordering, knowing they take care in preparing the meal. The food is very tasty, I love that I can get cheese curds.“

“Unique decor, friendly service, creative menu items and blissfully wonderful backlit electronic handheld menus for older eyes make this a very different experience from the plain vanilla restaurant. You won't need to turn on your phone flashlight to read the menus here. On the way to the restroom you'll pass over the vault in the floor that gives the place it's name that has a transparent see-through floor panel. A pleasant and cozy place to linger and it has an excellent cocktail menu, and The Propietor smoky Old Fashioned cocktail in particular is highly recommended. The only thing that needs to be fixed here is the music, which is a chaotic mess that doesn't synch with the ambiance of the place at all. It needs a theme, like soft jazz, or Mozart classical, or soft New Orleans blues, or 90's grunge.....“

“just had their brisket quesadilla from the food truck at brother chimp’s! delicious, great portion of brisket in the quesadilla, love the green sauce, and customer service is fabulous. please support this business 💛“

“Delicious burgers great atmosphere and attentive staff“

“Walrus Room is a solid five star restaurant. Table service is fantastic. Our server knew the menu inside and out, provided useful recommendations and was very attentive without being pesty. Starting with the appetizers four of us had Shrimp DeJohgne, the Burrata, Curds and Chorizo Mussels. All very very good. From their extensive lists the ladies had wine and I had bourbon. For dinner we ordered the walleye on rice, Amish roast chicken and the prime steak frites. All really good although maybe the entrees were a bit salty. We ordered too much food and drink so the nearly five hundred dollar bill was our fault. Great service, fantastic atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere!“

“We try to visit a couple times a week. The food is outstanding no matter what you get. They have specials all the time and so far never disappointed. My husband loves the wonderful Bourbon selection and is working his way through the menu. The staff is the shining point. From the owner to the servers and bartenders they always greet you with a smile and always go the extra mile. This is a Yorkville Diamond!💎“
