50 Best Bars near Batavia

“I play for pool league out of this location, so I have to be here, but the tater tots are really what keeps me coming back! They are the best around, if you ask for them extra crispy they are very accommodating and do it with no issue! I’ve slowly started to explore the menu because you can never miss with the tots! If you’re a potato enthusiast, I highly recommend checking this place out! You’ll want to eat every last one and maybe ask for more!“

“The 1st hour was terrific. We were celebrating our anniversary. Then a very loud group of four were seated right behind us. They obviously had been in the bar before coming to dinner. The remainder of our time was spent in silence since we couldn't hear each other. No fault of the restaurant or staff. Just self absorbed rude customers.“

“Stopped in with a friend after a metra ride. Hung out at this establishment while we waited for my phone to charge up and for Uber to come. Typical mixed bar of locals and commuters. Sports oriented. Did not check out the menu. We just ordered a beverage. Wait staff was kind, cheerful, and attentive. They have a nice patio as well. A great place to relax as you wait for a train or a great place to unwind after a day downtown and long train ride.“

“Great place and always lots of fun!“

“We had a wonderful experience with our visit tonight ! Excellent service and Eveteu was outstanding serving us!!! Jason’ greated everyone and we will definitely be back“

“Me and my husband went there this past Friday with our two kids to have dinner. It was our first time there and for a Friday it was surpisingly not busy. Maybe that is because of all the outdoor festivals that is going on now. But as soon as we sat down a a short Blonde server who was dressed in all black greeted us and gave us menus. Our server was very nice and told us the specials and what pop products they have. We asked her what does she recommend from here. She then told us that they are well known for their broasted wings and broasted chicken dinner. I then asked what is her favorite from the menu. She said the chicken avocado melt, the wings and broasted chicken dinner. So we chose the wings and the chicken avocado melt. She then told us about their summer special that kids eat free, one kids meal per one adult order of an Entree on Friday, Saterday and Sunday from 4 pm to 7 pm. We told her wow that is a nice special. This place is huge and has alot of Arcade games, Air Hockey, Basketball hoop game, Darts and other games to occupy the kids. They have tons of projector T.V. and flat T.V. and have on all types of sports to watch since it is a sports bar and grill. All we can say was that our server did not let us down. She was spot on with her recommendations as the wings were big, juicy and delicouse. As well as the chicken avocado melt was just so good. Also the kids liked their meals and the free Ice cream that came with it. Overall we enjoyed our dinner, our time there, and the service. We just found a new spot that we will be comming back too.“

“Nice, relaxed atmosphere. I come here early on Saturdays or Sundays with my kids so I can try a couple beers and they can play pinball or the other games this bar has. Very friendly and courteous staff.“

“Ladies get a free drink if they show boobs! J/k sorta. Great prices. Great pool leagues. Great people. Could use a new paint job, but other wise it is like drinking at home but better.“

“prices are reasonable! But the staff are so nice. Food is delicious and I feel very safe in Sugar Grove!“

“The facilities are very nice and clean. Some of the staff are kind and answer any questions you may have. I love all the promotions they offer and would recommend Lacey's to anyone looking to have a fun time!“

“Me encanta este restaurante El ambiente El servicio La comida Todo es excelente Iré a celebrar mi cumpleaños aquí 😍“

“Outdoor dining area was very cute. Food was good. Service was good! Will def be back. Taco pizza is fire!“

“Vegetarian options: I don't know , I'm not a vegetarian but I know that they serve it.

Dietary restrictions: They have it but I'm not on a diet so I eat the regular foods and it is delicious.

Parking: Alot and they have enough handicap right up front and they serve them first unless you asked them not to.“

“We went here for a Friday night fish fry. We did carry out but they are open to the public. Fried cod, baked potato and coleslaw. Myhusband liked the fish alot but said it needed a little lemon or something to spice it up. I had fried shrimp which were very large with a baked potato and coleslaw. The coleslaw was not that great, but we enjoyed the rest of the meal alot. I would recommend this place for a good inexpensive fish fry.“

“First time here this weekend. Staff was friendly and the service was fast! Especially with how busy it was. Everyone seemed to be having a fantastic time and that’s the vibe I like! Il definitely be going back.“

“Can’t wait until you reopen“

“Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere!“

“Poor service and horrible beer. I ordered a brew dog hazy IPA and the waitress brought me some kind of red ale which is clearly not a hazy IPA. See attachment for what the beer should look like and what they brought me. Waitress does nothing to remediate the situation. Never seen such a poorly run business. Staff have bad attitudes and beer was definitely not right. Maybe it was spoiled or they substituted a cheaper product. Do not go here.“

“love the food but prices are high for plastic cups and 1 once shots. cheap plastic cups.“

“Much romance, lots of girls“

“The staff have been really rude to me ever since I pointed out that my tab was wrong and I was overcharged. I wasn't upset about the double charges, I just wanted them corrected. I've barely been waited on since then it seems. I tried to step in a help once when a patron had been over served. It wasn't welcomed at all. I was given the same look as I get when I walk up to the bar to get a drink. Too bad, it's really close to home to me. I haven't been in over a year and have no plans on returning.“

“Nice upscale feel restaurant. Good food, nice live music. I had a filet(slightly overdone) and my wife had a delicious hanger steak. Came with nice rustic grilled vegetables and we ordered a side of whipped potatoes. It's really nice that sides are reasonable is size and price—not oversized like the big steakhouse places.“

“I just want to give a big Kudos out to the staff at Stoney's Tavern in Aurora. I was out with a group of family and friends on Friday night February 10th 2023 celebrating my birthday! We had an Amazing night.I want to thank our bartender Mel for taking such good care of our group. The service was Awesome the music was Great and she was on Point the entire night. Thank you Mel! It was a Amazing experience and we had a hell of a good time. We Absolutely will be back!“

“Not only have I loved Hawthornes from when I was a kid growing up in West Chicago! It was the PERFECT place to have my wedding. Lou, Heidi and Kelly did fantastic and helped make my dream come alive! Every question I had they answered and were able to accommodate so much! Heidi was in CONSTANT communication with me and was able to give advice and help me through the whole process. Her suggestions were so helpful and she helped during the ceremony and reception. I could not have done it without them. This place treats you like family and has amazing service! When my husband and I went to pick up our things the next morning we were planning on taking 2 trips and Lou let us borrow his truck that is how amazing and friendly they are! WE LOVE YOU HAWTHORNES! Thanks for making our wedding the best day of our lives(: not to mention EVERY guest couldn’t stop talking about how fun the venue was and there was something for everyone to do, wiffleball, volleyball, giant beer pong, bags, dancing, and more! Everyone was able to have fun the whole time!“

“The Bulldog has always been a place I looked forward to meeting friends at when I came to Aurora.
The staff is always smiling and attentive to what we need.
Hearing the change to a breakfast place made me laugh. How unoriginal can you get? Those are a dime a dozen and none truly last long in the restaurant world. Why, it’s hard to get original with breakfast offerings. The biggest piece for success is the people. They are the main reason we would go to there.
It’s a business decision, but I don’t feel a wise one. Also, the timing couldn’t be worse. Don’t tell me you didn’t know this was happening. Have a heart for your people around the holidays!“

“This was my second ever visit in three weeks, both because of events at Arcada. My first visit, which was on a Saturday, was great! My friend and I were promptly waited on, the server was informative and attentive and our food came out quickly. My second visit was a little less impressive. The restaurant was quite full and understaffed. We were given water right away, but waited quite awhile until our server returned to get our drink order. Then again to get our food order. Thankfully the food came out quickly, as we were already running late for the start of the show. As the first visit, there are absolutely no complaints about our entrees. The food was very good!! Looking forward to another show and visit to the restaurant to try something new yet again.“

“Great people and strong drinks! 👍🏽👍🏽“

“Gyros, boneless wings, chicken sandwiches, salads, soup...all fantastic food. You can't go wrong with what you choose. It's all very good.“

“Great service and food! Sat in the bar area.“

“We had our wedding at Eden Events on June 28th 2025 and all I can say is it turned out absolutely amazing! We worked with Claudia and Omar they were nothing but fantastic from beginning to end. Our wedding turned out exactly how we envisioned it! From the ceremony to the turn over for the reception space was just so beautiful. The staff was amazing!! The food was delicious exactly how our tasting was. The day of I had everything organized in bins and they set it out for me exactly how I wanted it to look! If you are thinking about having your wedding here DO IT, you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“When I used to live in West Chicago a couple of years ago, my fiancé now husband and I used to go there all the time and his Uncle Mike. I recommend this place 100%, the drinks are good, the bartenders are friendly, and the Viper Burger was our favorite. Alan is an awesome guy with a great sense of humor. The atmosphere is chill, welcoming and you'll have a great time. When I say to stop by The Bunker, I mean it lol 😃. Whenever we are in town again, we are definitely going to try stopping by. 😌✨“

“I ordered Enchiladas rojo they are the best enchiladas that I've had this side of Mexico.

Highly recommend this restaurant!

Polite, attentive service. Clean. Family-friendly.

Five star restaurant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
