50 Best Pubs near Berwyn

“Great bartenders with a great atmosphere.“

“Better than expected. I enjoyed the jalapeno cheddar brat and my daughter loved the pretzel and the cheese filled polish sausage.Beer selection, though limited and bottle only, included some European beers which went well with the food.It's more of a gambling facility than a restaurant, but it was good for what it was.Service was excellent and prices were half off when we went so it was quite inexpensive which provided great value for what we got.“

“Very nice if you like a small hole in the wall take place not a very large variety of beer extremely friendly especially the bartender Carol always hooking everyone up with free food not always but I think you know what I mean if you want a nice quiet place to hang out in Berwyn Illinois that's the spot to go to“

“I just loved the St Paddy's pop-up it was kid friendly and we all had a blast!“

“Me and a friend stopped here before a concert at the Radius, and this will be the official pregame for anytime I have a concert there. Great food, excellent drink selections, friendly staff...highly recommend!“

“Spiteful Brewing Tap room is a relaxed, comfortable space with a wide variety of beers (to drink on premises or take away.)
I had the vienna lager and an IPA. Both were super tasty. My friends and I shared a large pretzel served piping hot with generous dollop of mustard. I am excited to go again soon.“

“Delicious food & great menu. The service is top notch! The Italian beef is a favorite of mine when visiting from Cincinnati. 🙂“

“We hosted my husband’s 50th birthday last weekend there and I can’t say enough good things!!! From start to finish an incredible experience and so much fun! I plan events for a living and working with Ma O’Briens was the easiest, most helpful and amazing experience.“

“Great quiet old world English pub“

“Good food! Great atmosphere.“

“Finally treated ourselves - not disappointed!! Hubby got the chicken piccante & I had the chicken marsala - both were excellent! The pasta fagioli was so good we got a quart to take home. The service and atmosphere were also great - we will definitely be back!!“

“Awesome bar for starters. The people, the vibe, and the drinks are all top-notch. There’s a little sweetheart named Katie who works weekends—she’s incredibly down-to-earth and goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome. Honestly, she treats us like family.

I haven’t tried the food yet, but I’m definitely looking forward to it. If you’re looking for a laid-back South Side pub with great energy, this is the spot.“

“On the National Register of Historic Architecture, Schuba's Tavern is a gem with an old school, casual ambiance. With about 14 stools at the Bar, and just a smattering of seats at tables around the perimeter, the musical entertainment performance space, the back room, is what the venue is all about. The PA system is upper class, maybe not quite top notch but we'll above average. The house has a Midas console to enable the acoustical engineering staff to manage and control the o“

“We recently attended an engagement party at Goldie’s. The party was originally scheduled as an outdoor event but was forced to go inside at the last minute. Goldie’s ownership allowed the party to use their location, opened early and provided bar service for all attendees. All with less than 24 hours notice! Claire, the bartender, came in early and was exceptional. Highly recommend for special events or to just stop in for a drink!“

“This was an amazing place. We have been to several karaoke spots in Chicago and this is by far one of the best. Took my friend here for his birthday with five other people ant the room was amazing and the service was on point. Thank you for the best birthday for my bestie.“

“As a tourist the night shift was good. Went during the day got a huge hold in my card for 1 drink. Ordered a second, stepped outside to smoke someone picked up my drink and snaked right after I went outside and the bartender acted like this was a normal thing. Embarrassing! (Edit) The bartender did make an effort to go out of her way to make sure I felt accommodated after the incident and took what I had to say to heart. Preemptive review, exactly that. Not too shabby. Check it out.“

“Gracie O’Mallys provided the best food and drink experience I’ve had in a long time in the city. The atmosphere was fantastic, but what really stood out was the exceptional customer service from our server, Tina. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She was at the table every few minutes making sure we were NEVER thirsty. She had a smile on her face the entire time and was such a pleasure. I’ve never experienced better service anywhere—highly recommend this place!!!!!“

“Great place to eat and drink. And have one of our meetings in the backroom.“

“The best food !!!Thank you guy.“

“Great music and awesome pint of Guinness“

“Everyone is kind enough to leave me alone.“

“Magoo's is letting the band Malinche play on August 25th knowing that a member of that band, Calvin Hobbes, is a rapist. Watch out for businesses that won't watch out for you ladies.“

“This place has a cool, hip vibe and it’s fun to eat at the communal tables. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great variety of beer and creative craft cocktails. Food is beautifully plated and delicious - make sure to try the potatoes, baby gem salad and hanger steak.“

“great time on our first trip there tonight! Special shout out to Savanah! she was our awesome waitress!“

“I went to hear Irish music and it was amazing! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Music atmosphere people and drinks!“

“The young bartender guy is super nice. Wife didn’t know what to drink and he made a drink that she LOVED. I even tried it and I loved it! Very genuine guy, doesn’t just look for the money but cares for his customers! Def coming back more often !! Deal him once and you will return just for that nice customer service.“

“Hands down, the best bar food in the neighborhood! Pretzel-crusted walleye is ridiculous along with the olive-sized steamed mussels. But as good as the food, the bartenders crush it even more. Responsive, accommodating and authentically friendly.“

“Great place to grab a libation after a Wrigley Field event.“

“Wow what an experience, we was visiting from the UK and had to see the famous bar, instantly we was welcome. Food was amazing, the bartenders was so lovely and even let my son go behind the bar for a photo. Really friendly ❤️ locals was really nice too x Thank you“

“I usually stop here since it's on my mail route and I can tell you that they have great food and great drinks I had their buttermilk chicken sandwich with portage park tater tots and it was very good I highly recommend this spot espically for happy hour also the staff is amazing they always make me feel welcome“

“such sweet owners! they helped me celebrate my 20th birthday last year with the sign and some catered food, and this year (i have covid☹️) they gave drinks on the house for my family who went to celebrate in honor of me! i can't wait to come visit once i'm out of quarantine!!“

“I won't rate the food because it's only snacks. They do have menus from nearby restaurants though, which is really cool.

This is a wonderful cocktail bar. The bartenders are really good at what they do. I think Luke is usually working when I go there? He is really good at what he does and super fun to watch. Very precise and intentional with the way he makes drinks.

I always feel very welcome and relaxed here. It is sort of strange that it is in the base of an apartment complex. I think if I lived here I would be a bit weirded out by all of these strangers in the lobby of my building.

It's nice to get drinks and then go wherever in the lobby, at the bar, or out in the back patio area of the building.

Trivia on Wednesdays is always fun as well.“

“I really liked this place ㅠㅠㅠㅜㅜ Why is it closing ㅠㅠㅠㅜI ate meatloaf and mashed potatoes here while waiting for the Megabus on a winter night. The portions were plentiful and delicious, and the staff were friendly!The atmosphere was really fun because we were dancing and singing, but it's really sad that it's closed... I really wanted to go back when I go to Chicago.“

“I am a great bartender 🍺 🎧 DJ MA 🎧“

“Such an amazing spot! A great addition to the neighborhood! The service is amazing, everyone who works here is so friendly, kind and attentive. The food is great (the santi spring rolls is a hit on the salty side however). This spot is not just great as a local spot, but also worth a trip. The outdoor patio area is so nice and has music and indoors, there’s a really charming atmosphere with a fireplace. Love it!“

“It was nice 👍 food and drinks 🍹 😊 good“

“I came in from out of state and I loved this place. My favorite bar in the neighborhood that I got to visit. Went back a couple times throughout my visit. They even changed one tv for me to watch my OKC Thunder game. Thank you for making me feel welcome.“

“Really wanna give the service a SIX OR TEN! Evidently they were short staffed last night. We came in around 630 and we're seated quickly. Beer selection was triumphant, including global, national, regional, and local. Food was limited, but with some excellent choices that we LOVED! That's not the story.
THERE WAS ONE WAITRESS! And she ran that joint like a Swiss clock! She had outside tables, inside tables, annoying special requests and questions from us, etc. But she handled it like a CHAMP.
So I eased up to the bar to ask the bartender if he could pass along my admiration to the manager. He was the manager, but our waitress was the OWNER!
Never got her name, but wow!
Go here, eat and drink well, and you will be rewarded!“

“Best buffalo garlic chicken wings I’ve ever had hands down! Great atmosphere and great service!“

“Awesome Chicago Dogs and atmosphere! Great waitress and warm, cozy and fun atmosphere!“

“What a great place. Arranged a small goodbye party this past weekend at BP. Virgil helped me to reserve tables in the back and was extremely easy to work with. The service throughout the day was quick and kind, despite a larger group than anticipated. The back patio is always a nice vibe, and prices are fair. One of my favorite spots in Chicago and definitely in Bucktown/Wicker.“

“The penultimate neighborhood bar with plenty of characters, shenanigans, and fun! It's our "Just One More" place. Bikers, Rock Stars, and Divas will feel right at home. Live music most weekends, outdoors in the summer in a large parking lot. Everybody who knows, goes there. John & Sparklyn are good people!“

“Great place to have a drink and socialize after work or at night! Awesome staff as well! Fridays and Saturdays dance 🕺🏻 💃 parties 🎊 are jumping! Recommend you check it out!“

“The ambiance is first class and I feel out of place to watch early morning soccer there but the staff is very friendly and the chairs are most comfortable. The on tap choices are very good and the food is delicious. Ample tv screens to accommodate your team of choice. I highly recommend this place.“
