50 Best Cocktail Bars near Brookfield

“Was brought here with a local friend. Hung out in the back. Outside, under the stars and playing on the drums. Definitely a place high on my return list.“

“Been here several times, always a blast and great drinks. Last visit was weird. Kinda stuffy. Bartender was uninterested and ok with letting customers wait along time before taking order. I hope things are not changing.“

“My first time at the Modern Plate today. I was blown away by the beautiful dining and club room. The food is absolutely amazing and filling. The owner Ted is a very passionate man about his restaraunt, and I admire that. It absolutely shows that there is concern and care that goes into every corner of the Modern Plate. Now, I was here for an event in the club room, but rest assured, I WILL be coming here for just the dining experience and the food. I live about 50min away, but it is...THAT good. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful dinner and a night on the town.“

“Great happy hour daily 5-6pm The burgers are so good !! Always fun“

“Great Drinks and Amazing Atmosphere. Our go to spot!“

“Estimados encargados de El Solazo: Espero este mensaje les encuentre bien. Me dirijo a ustedes como un cliente frecuente y admirador de su restaurante, en el cual siempre disfruto de una comida deliciosa y un servicio excepcional. Sin embargo, en mi última visita, experimenté una situación que considero importante señalar para su atención y mejora. El día de hoy, martes 26 de noviembre, llegué a cenar a las 8:45 pm confiando en la información publicada en sus redes sociales, donde claramente se especifica que el horario de cierre es a las 11:00 pm. No obstante, a las 9:30 pm ya se estaba anunciando el "último llamado" para bebidas alcohólicas. Además, durante mi estancia, fui testigo de cómo dos familias fueron rechazadas para cenar por el mismo motivo: el restaurante estaba cerrando antes de tiempo debido a "la falta de clientes". Entiendo que puedan surgir situaciones operativas, pero considero que este tipo de decisiones impacta negativamente en la experiencia de sus clientes. Cuando se anuncia un horario de cierre, los clientes planeamos nuestras visitas en base a esa información. De no ser posible mantener el horario anunciado, sería más transparente ajustarlo oficialmente en sus plataformas para que las personas puedan planear con anticipación y, en caso necesario, optar por otras opciones. Por último, quiero mencionar que esta inconformidad fue compartida con nuestra mesera, quien nos escuchó con amabilidad. Sin embargo, creo que esta situación requiere un ajuste desde la gerencia para evitar malentendidos en el futuro. Agradezco de antemano su atención a esta situación y espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que su excelente servicio sea consistente en todos los aspectos. Atentamente, Jesus Jesse Hernández“

“We wandered over to Ositos from Hyde Park, to try something new, and loved it. Ositos has delicious food, and really good cocktails in a cozy, unpretentious atmosphere. The service is warm, attentive, and they make you feel welcome like you’re part of the family. Very gezellig! The coquito was a delicious indulgence (I’ll be dreaming about it tonight); the pumpkin burnt basque cheesecake a delicious indulgence; the mole rosa, guacamole, wings, and the quesaditzin were all excellent.“

“Went to the Chicago Waffle House in Willowbrook with friends today Had the best skillet-The Short Rib Skillet- Fantastic with Lavazza coffee not to mention great service. We’ll be back soon“

“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.“

“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.“

“Y’all come on out and support my girl Gina, the hostess with the mostess! Sit back and relax in a warm and welcoming environment. Daily food and drink specials, and as always…try your luck at their amazing slots, with all the latest games! Open daily till 2am, 3am Fridays and Saturdays! 😘“

“Cool a$$ bar!!! A Dive-ish bar that makes a great cocktail list, serve espresso all night and has live music. There’s a lot of vibes here.

You could be a wook bopping to drum and bass in the back patio, all the while having a romantic drink with a date here and it all works.

Bravo ??????

There’s no food but if there was it’d be a 5. Maybe there is. I don’t know, to be fair.“

“This place has a very dedicated, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. The signature cocktails are designed beautifully. I love watching childhood favorites (the bartender played Are you Afraid of the Dark) on tube TVs while sipping my favorite adult beverages.“

“I don't even know where to begin. The service is always above and beyond awesome (♡ Ruby and Dahlia)! This is a family owned business (and owner and family are always there working their butts off and checking to see everyone is happy) and it is obvious that they take pride in what they serve and they really appreciate their customers. I have ordered many different dishes from the menu and everything is always delicious and hot and cooked exactly as I ordered. The margaritas are top notch. My absolute favorite is the cucumber magarita. Make sure to try their tableside guac...so good!!! Carne Asada is excellent. I hesitate to share this review because I'd love to keep this hidden gem all to myself but some things just need to be shared with the world. You're welcome!!!“

“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👍🥂🤘🤙👍“

“😋 muy deliciosa la comida buen servicio les doy 5 estrellas muy recomendado“

“Love this place! We eat here frequently on Sundays!“

“Dance vibes and good food.. recommend the fish tacos“

“Great service! Tacos were worth the $2.50 and then some. Great people, really appreciate the effort.“

“We ate at Phase Three today at the recommendation of my doctor. And it did NOT disappoint. We even got a complimentary meal from the Executive Chef so he didn’t waste the plate after taking pictures of his new special. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. There were so many flavors and they all blended so dang well. They even had some unique beer option that we brought home. If your down in the Chicago area or willing to make the trip, it’s definitely worth it“

“Food was excellent. Service was on point. Will be back sooner. Highly recommended“

“food is ok but hire staff that at least acts like they wanna be there. they are horrible everytime we go in there. very rude to us everytime. and soooooo slow even when they have no other tables. horrible service everytime“

“Absolutely love Vistro! Amazing staff, delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, and superb customer service. It never disappoints!“

“This place is great, but what makes it truly fantastic is the people-from the owner to the servers. You can feel the love between them and they go out of their way to make you feel like family.“

“Delightful food choices that are always tasty“

“Been here a handful of times ..
The pizza is th Star !!
Last few times the food was not as on par with the first 3-4 times.
Staff was slow and food was slow.
The first few times i went was when they first opened.
Seems service went down a bit!“

“We always know we’ll have a wonderful time at Tannins. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service team is attentive and friendly, and the wine selection is exceptional. Their wine club is a fantastic value, offering great perks at a very reasonable price. Tannins is our go-to spot for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Highly recommend!

Gregg & Kim“

“The Best food in Chicago,delicious food,good prices,and the nicest owner in the world,Franco“

“Customer service is great. I had the roasted chicken and tamales. There were pieces of corn in every bite of the tamale, and the chicken was moist. Do not forget to try a margarita.“

“Brewpoint is a gem in the Western suburbs of Chicago. I am entirely blessed to live blocks from their craft location on York. Exposed brick, chandeliers, and a plant wall surrounds you - a grateful reprieve from cookie cutter Starbucks decor. Coffee, matcha, and baked goods are top notch (haven't tried cocktails or charcuterie yet). A wonderful mix of professionals, college students, community organizers, and socially conscious suburban moms escaping the kids (I'm sure I'm missing wonderful others). Sometimes I'm not sure how I manage to keep living in the suburbs when the city is still home for me after 10 years in Elmhurst, but Brewpoint certainly makes it easier.“

“best local place to be plus great pot to dj as well my absolute Favorite place to go!!“

“very good spot for pool. good food. great location.“

“Amazingly delicious food and drinks! Our waiter, Colin, is the best and the added bonus is that he looks like Adam Ruzek (Patrick Flueger) on Chicago PD.“

“What a great gem I came across. I initially found them through Groupon, and I loved the tour. The tasting was amazing, and I probably should have ubered because you'll get knocked on your behind from all the tastings. Lol.The owner and staff are wonderful. I highly recommend going and seeing for yourself.“

“Excellent authentic food and service! We hosted a small party recently and I cannot express enough gratitude for the amazing service and food quality. We will definitely be returning!“

“Amazing staff! Small hidden gem. Atmosphere is amazing and the drinks are phenomenal. They have specials every day of the week. Amazing ?“

“I have to say their cheesbuger is Awesome, it was very juicy and cheesy. I asked to put Lettuce and tomatoes on mine and leave off the mayo just bc I do not like digorn. I love that it came with a side for the same price, not charged separately. I almost think it might be better than 5 Guys!!! My boyfriend ordered the Cheesy Steak, it was like an Italian beef but with a cheese sauce on it. I didn't get a chance to try it but he said it was delicious! This was the first time we ordered something other than a pizza, and their pizzas are Awesome also. I definitely recommend the Portage Park location. I have not been to the others!“

“Great place to chill! Thanks for a great time!“

“Best GF waffle I have EVER had!“

“I visited the bloohol today because I like oxtails and the reviews said the oxtails were good. Well just let me say this !! The owner let me take a peek at them before I left and they looked and smelled delicious. So I went to the car and took a bite SMH why did I do that I could not stop eating them !! They were very fresh, tender and flavorful. The rice they came with was a perfect compliment to the oxtails and tasted good too and I am not a rice person. I did not make it home with my dinner !! I had dinner in the car and licked every finger loudly and proudly. If you like oxtails do yourself a favor you got to try bloohol !!“

“The food and service were great! We had reservations.. thank god.. appetizers shrimp, crab cakes, fried green tomatoes. Meal: pork chops, Cajun salmon, sided creamed spinach, asparagus, Mexican corn..“

“I have been coming to this location for about two years now; the service is excellent, and the music is good. It's a huge parking lot, and the food is incredible. I love the wings and the burgers. Guilty to say we stay there for hours. There is a pool table and, outside area... I love the people that work there always kind.“

“SUPER LOVE THIS LITTLE GEM!!! Burgers, Fries, Salads, Chicken Pot Pie and Tomato Basil Soups, Salmon, etc. are amazing!!! Peppermint Bread Pudding is TO DIE FOR!!! Great service! Sadly, their one stall restroom is a bit distant. But their food makes me SOOOOO HAPPY!“

“Come check out these wild wings. delicious a variety of flavors.“

“Can’t rate the food since I didn’t have any. But this little cozy spot is exactly what I needed. No shame on those city young spots but having people around you that are respectful and friendly is key.
Great music, staff are nice and everyone knew eachother. Will come back again and again“

“Henry and his staff are amazing. The new outdoor seating is awesome. I love how the bar exceeds all the safety and sanitation protocols. I am grateful that we can order food from nearby restaurants delivered in a safe manner to the double. It’s truly a neighborhood bar !!!“
