50 Best Bars near Brookfield

“Very nice clean bar, love the warm welcoming feel and drink options. They have open mic every third Friday of the month. We really enjoy this neighborhood bar. Great bar service. Great staff, Daren and Neda are fantastic! They also have pizza from Waterworks! They have gaming machines, I like to play a few and have been lucky!
If your a Bloody Mary drinker they make a good one.. ?“

“I threw my Dads 70th bday here and everything was great! Jimmy whom is the owner was very accommodating & was very helpful with parking and making sure my guests were taken care of! I would definitely come back here to do another party! Thanks again for helping us to make my Dads party a great success!“

“A enjoyable Saturday lunch, friendly staff, local bar atmosphere.“

“Rose and Jake were phenomenal!! It was a tuesday and they were busy as expected but the service was amazing! Rose was busting her butt taking all the tables and making PHENOMENAL drinks, while Jake checked on us if Rose couldn’t and helped run drinks to us. We didn’t have to wait for anything despite the business, overall an amazing experience and both of them deserve a raise! Both were so friendly and personable that my friend and I have already scheduled the next time for us to come visit and have a few drinks!“

“Always a good time!!!! Great atmosphere“

“Loved everything about Osito's! Bartender was fun an mixed us a couple of his special recipes -- outstanding. The atmosphere was relaxed but vibrant. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the yucca fries and whitefish ceviche. Can't wait to go back!“

“Posto 31 is arguably the best restaurant and ambiance in the La Grange/La Grange park area. The food is consistently high quality at a fair price point. Portion sizes are great and the drinks are delicious.“

“This is a review for Nightshade. To get there, you go to the back of Moonflower then through the unmarked black door to the right and downstairs. There are two rooms - one for music/ dancing and the other with small tables for drinks. The night I went the music room wasn’t open (guess you have to know when it’s club night). A bit bare bones in terms of furniture/ atmosphere. But, the drinks were EXCELLENT. Not a huge selection but the table I was with ordered about four different drinks from the specialty menu and they were all better than I was expecting.

Though the downstairs is designed for drinking I saw people eating from the menu upstairs so apparently you can do that.“

“Смачно. Весело. Приємний персонал. Гарна музика👍🥂🤘🤙👍“

“My first time here (new to Chicago) saw High on Fire and Negative Approach. Sounded great! Great staff, great room for music, hope to return many many more times!“

“if there was ever a better Watering Hole In chicago. This Is It, hands down. Chris and his staff are superior at every aspect of being a classy drinking establishment. I recommend it highly, and Shop local all you lovely Neighbors.“

“I don’t even know where to start. This place rules.

Walked in and thought, “huh, what is this?” It’s like a bar and a weird little shop had a baby, and then that baby grew up to be really cool. You can buy basically everything inside, and I did—left with a stone parrot from, I think, Panama?? It felt right.

The drinks are really good. I don’t know what all was in mine but it tasted fancy and strong in a good way. They’ve got stuff I’ve never heard of but it all just works. Even the soda water felt classy. It’s that kind of place.

The people are awesome. Tall, friendly, funny, chill. Like, you sit down and end up talking to someone and next thing you know it’s been three hours and you’ve somehow spent $90 and also made a new best friend. Or two.

The whole place is just cozy and full of random cool stuff—like someone’s basement, but the good kind. Not the creepy kind.

If you’re thinking about going—just go. Go now. Give them your money. They deserve it. You’ll probably end up leaving with a weird lamp or a ceramic pig or something and feel great about it.

One of the best bars I’ve been to in Chicago. And I don’t say that lightly.“

“This place is a real gem not to be missed. It’s unpretentious, with approachable knowledgeable staff. The prices are unbeatable and they always have some fun or funky wines to try. I love the monthly deep read nights, the atmosphere and music is always well curated. I just hope to get into one of their classes, but they sell out quick!“

“BEST Cubano sandwich I’ve ever had in a longgg time! Always love their mahi mahi tacos and Italian beef egg rolls too.“

“A pleasant neighborhood brewery, bar, and restaurant. We generally order burgers or fish and chips, and enjoy a local beer with our meal. We ordered soft pretzels for our ap, which came with two amazingly good dpping sauces - yum!
Great casual spot.“

“Paddy's truly offers the best bar food around, and the atmosphere is second to none. A big shoutout to Jen, Amy, and Amy Lynn, whose friendly service always makes you feel right at home and appreciated!“

The owner and staff here are so friendly and welcoming. It is the perfect place to enjoy an outdoor beverage.“

“Chill and good vibes All night“

“Love the decor and the people are so nice and of course there’s Harry 😊“

“This place was incredible. The atmosphere is amazing, every other corner has photo worthy set ups all throughout. It was my birthday and I got a sash a crown and they came over to the table at the end of the meal and sang happy birthday. It was awesome. The empanadas were good. The chips are good, salsa wasn't that great. The ceviche was decent, could use a little extra kick. The salmon entree, top tier, the fish was cooked perfectly. The steak fajitas were ok. the steak was tough, chewy but and could use a little more seasoning. The mangonada margarita was delicious, the guava margarita was good could use more mint and crushed better for a little kick. The flourless chocolate cake with the ice cream was amazing. The flan was delicious. So all in all it is worth trying especially for the vibes. They had a great staff and dj. Oh and got some free shots from the bartender... um yes. Have fun and enjoy.“

“We loved the place & the food. Wish I had felt like a drink😊Welcoming!“

“This was my first time using 99 Haus Balloons for my daughter's 2nd birthday party and they went above and beyond!!

Everything I could have asked for! So easy to pick up and ready on time. Thank for you such a job well done!! Highly recommend!“

“I just walked out of the door and am so glad that God sent us there. We tried 3 places prior to walking in CheSa’s doors which was a definite blessing. We had the catfish skillet, bourbon peach cobbler franchise toast, chicken sausage and scrabbles eggs w/cheese washed down with a breakfast martini. Absolutely delicious and with the owner/chef being very warm w/great hospitality. We’re definitely going back.“

“From the moment I walked in. Jack was there to help me get tables together for a party of 10. we had a wonderful time but even better was the service. the food was good. the drinks were great but the service was immaculate! Thanks to both our servers each named Haley. they did a fantastic job and we really appreciate it. we had a wonderful night and would come back again and again. thank you Jack and everyone there!“

“Went it for a loaded Bloody Mary. It was great. The people seemed really friendly (employees and customers)
The bathroom needs to be gutted. It’s terrible. I got water all over my self from something leaking. Looks like they have put 30 coats of paint over everything. It’s falling apart in there! The lighting in the bar was terrible. It literally feels like I’m in a dark basement. I would love to see this place get an over haul because it was great potential with the nice staff and great customers. Very very very welcoming!!“

“By far the best bar when it comes to service, they are very attentive and always greet you with a smile! The bartenders are lovely and definitely help create a fun and positive atmosphere🩷 Highly recommend!“

“A nice burger and they have $4 old styles so it’s a win in my book.

Burger was good, had charred onions and aioli, they make all their sauces in house.

Only complaint is they don’t have ketchup, could be an easy fix, they also didn’t have French fries but served the burger with something else, some kind of green pepper that was tough whose name I’m forgegginv but that wasn’t very good. Fries and ketchup would go a long way but fantastic burger.“

“My Favorite neighborhood bar ❤️“

“Awesome retro bowling ally with awesome drinks and great staff.“

“I went to this bar to watch Blackhawks games saw them win Stanley Cups 2010 and 2013, drinks were very good, the owner was nice, the people were nice, always had good times.“

“A stellar room for live music and vibes, Friendly Tap is part of the Friendly Music Community that includes Friendly Coffee Lounge for all-day coffee and free wifi, Friendly Community Room for arts and mindfulness, Friendly School of Folk Music upstairs for group and private lessons, and AirBnB apartments with superb charm and comfort.“

“Love coming here but mostly for the patio. Inside always smells like raw sewage or intense bleach lmao. The patio is incredible tho you get to see washed up punks and hipsters who still cling so hard to their youth, yuppies with dogs that don't understand why we're all laughing at them, and some old heads who just wanna enjoy the sun. Prices are great, bartenders are the best, just uh the smell inside can be a problem.“

“best bar in town- like the show Cheers, always a great time“
