Cocktail Bars near Burr Ridge

“The atmosphere in there is so positive. It was such a clean restaurant. The staff and our server were very helpful & super kind. The food was phenomenal and full of flavor! It tastes so fresh, you can tell they put good thought in each recipe.“

“enjoyed a delicious meal and caught a fabulous show by brooklyn charmers -- excellent space for live music. FAIR WARNING: there is a small room to the left of the front door from which you cannot see the band (there are video monitors though), so call ahead to make your reservation and ensure you are seated in the main room if you want to see the band.“

“(Last visited 8/29/2022.) It's a a dreary Monday and after flying in from Connecticut while enduring flight delay after flight delay, I'm tired, but I'm hungry. The closest place to the hotel is INSIDE the hotel and that's Sip & Savor. Hotel food gets a bad rep, but I was ASSURED that the food here was good. So, I was given some recommendations and walked downstairs to experience what this place has to offer...Atmosphere/Appearance: It's a hotel bar. Lol. There's a huge bar rail that wraps around the actual bar so you can sit on 3 different sides. Plenty of seating. Directly behind the seats are tables where you can relax with a group of friends or your family. It was fairly quiet in there, but I can see it getting pretty loud if there's a big work group in here or something.Service: Kelly took excellent care of me. She was the only one working so she had her hands full, but she managed to check on everyone, take care of everyone and even have conversations with several folks. She was super friendly and most importantly, honest about the things on the menu when I asked her.Food: I started off with the Grilled Shrimp Tacos. They come in an order of 3 with a grilled lime and verde salsa on the side. These were honestly fantastic. The balance of cilantro-lime crema with crunchy cabbage and the subtle shrimp flavor worked together so well. For my entrée I opted for what was recommended to me, the BBQ Bacon Jack Burger. It's described as having Monterey jack cheese, caramelized onions, bacon and BBQ sauce. Lettuce, tomato and a pickle spear are served on the side. This burger was actually very, very delicious, but I was asked how I wanted it cooked. I said medium. The burger came out well-done. So that told me one of 2 things. Either someone is goofing off in the kitchen back there or someone is inexperienced. When I told Kelly about the blunder I heard someone else say, "that's the 3rd time that's happened tonight". So... that should be fixed. Quickly. Kelly offered to have it recooked, but I hate wasting food and I wanted to be on my way. So I enjoyed my overcooked dry burger as best that I could and moved on.Value: My tacos were $12.50 and my burger was $14.00. Not bad pricing at all for hotel food. Usually it can be hiked up a bit, just like mall food or airport food, but not here, great value.In conclusion, I would like to give this place a 3.6, but because I'm positive and generous, it rounds up to 4. If I do return to this place and my burger is overcooked, then I'll send it back because I do want to get what I want if I'm a paying customer.If you made it this far in the review, I appreciate you reading. Please do me a favor and head on over to "The Hungry Road" on YouTube and subscribe! My channel features a lot of food, car and exclusive shoe related content! Help me grow! Thank you so much!“

“You gotta open a joint down here in Florida...West Palm Beach. There no frigging good Italian food. Forgettaboutit ..the bread sucks... closest good food is at the market! Gotta make it! The ones down here trying to do it..can't do it!!! Period!!! I gotta ship my bread from home, providence rhode island. We need a place like yours. Just pick up that building and put it down here! I know a good spot..! Love ya style....“

“Gluten free waffles and pancakes ARE available and an absolute revelation! Hallelujah! The blueberry lemon cheesecake waffles were INSANE, no maple syrup needed.Claudia was a great hostess and server. Even when she is busy she's attentive and kind.Great Julius Meinl coffee ☕?My only note, and the only ⭐ I withheld, would be that our steak skillet had barely any meat in it and was mostly large chunks of potatoes and cheese (fine, but we're here for the full melange). If we're going to do hunks of potato, I personally prefer a small to medium dice, but hash browns are my top. Skillets are a staple and will be what brings people in over and over so that they can have the filling savory meal while they share your delicious waffles. Of course my experience is mine alone.Menu images for everyone to enjoy their amazing offerings!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free available!!“

“Barrel Vine exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, setting the tone for a fantastic evening. The menu offered a delightful array of dishes, each a culinary masterpiece. Every bite was a symphony of flavors, showcasing the chef's skill and creativity. The service was impeccable..our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it the ideal setting for a memorable meal. I left Barrel Vine feeling not just satisfied, but truly impressed. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience. Five stars all the way!“

“Wow! Just wow!!! Posto 31 has the best happy hour I've had in a long time. My amazing friend and I love doing happy hour during the week at different places around town and came across Posto 31. We decided to give it a try and we were blown away. The food was deliciously good. The filet sliders were cooked at medium rare and melted in your mouth like butter. The meatballs are to die for. Like by far the best meatball ever. The creamy polenta and sauce tied it all together. The whipped honey ricotta sesame toast is heaven sent. That there alone is a dessert for me. The creamy sauce from the freshly made rigatoni is a dream and made me think I was in someone's kitchen in Italy. Plus the strawberry thyme drink made by Abraham was the bomb! I'm coming back for that one again. The service was fast and the staff were so nice. We didn't have to wait long for our food. The ambiance is very upscale to me, super clean and the decor is beautifully done. Also shout out to the amazing couple we got to meet during our happy hour named Mark and Christian! I totally wished I got their number. They made our first visit so much fun and we got to enjoy a shot of Lemoncello that is also house made with them. Kudos to the chef and owner!! Such an amazing vibe. See ya'll again soon!“

“We went back to Citrine for pre-concert eats on our way to Chicago. This is a Mediterranean-type restaurant. Cocktails are good, food is good. Service is impeccable. Our server this visit was Theo, and he was attentive and friendly. The other staff from the young woman who sat us to the guys who delivered food and cleared the table were attentive and always gave us a smile. My husband and I started out with a glass of wine and a cocktail. We decided once again to share small plates together. We had the New York strip steak tartare. It's absolutely fabulous so we had to have it again. Fresh steak with a raw egg on top that oozes into the steak as you break it, it's perfection. We also got the homemade lepinja bread served warm with a couple spreads. I can't eat nuts or seeds and it came out covered with sesame seeds. No problem, Theo was more than happy to take it back and have bread made just for me without seeds. That's great service. We then shared the roasted beet salad which had arugula, goat cheese, avocado, and orange. It was a very small salad for the price of $14. Having said that, the salad was fresh and I liked the different textures, but it was the size of a small side salad and not worth the price. I would pass on this my next visit. The final dish we shared was the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were large and grilled perfectly, the grits were creamy. This dish was packed with flavor and some heat. Delicious. Citrine accepts reservations and parking is paid street parking. I definitely recommend this restaurant and you must try the steak tartare. So damn delicious!“

“Since moving to Cicero in 2020 this has been our spot. Food is always on point, service is super friendly and they have an outdoor patio that we can bring our pup pup.Vegetarian options: There's always something vegan or vegetarian friendly.“

“Sat down to relax and drink a delicious draft beer, proceeded to drop my cell phone and when I went to retrieve it found a SPOTLESS floor! I'm talking pristine! You could eat off this floor! Just another great feature if this already wonderful place.“

“I love this Family-owned business and especially that it is owned by a veteran. My family has been coming here for years, and my go to was always the Shrimp tacos! My last time in with a friend I tried a Burger. I highly recommend The Burgatory. Goat cheese on a burger- Who knew? It's drool-worthy. The other new addition I'm obsessed with is the Fried Pickles and Cheese curds appetizer. Why has no one else thought to combine these two before? And their homemade pie is unbeatable! New flavor each week. The staff is fabulous and these guys just celebrated 15 years in business. Cheers to Ellyn's Tap & Grill.“

“Wanted to check out riverside and it's located nicely in their downtown area. Parking is pretty easy. We did like the drinks and the decor was unique. The downside was that it took such a long time to get our drinks despite there being multiple servers and Or bartenders. Also, they need to update their drink prices and include information on surcharges. It was annoying to see the bill.“

“Quaint place for awesome cocktails. A good and interesting list to choose from. Small and intimate place. The sliders were ok. Small plates menu with about 5 things on it. I would go here for before or after dinner cocktails and eat at Babbocks which is connected to this “

“I've been here many times now, and love it!! It's busy most weekends and holidays and nights tbh, lol. So expect a bit of a wait, sometimes. It's worth it. Besides you can walk up the street and have a quick beer at Orange and Brew or Emmett's Brewing Co. while you're on their waiting list. It's just a short walk; get that 5 minute walk in for beer and food!! Enjoy and cheers!“

“Last Friday, my team and I had the pleasure of dining at Maya Del Sol, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible service we received. After a long day of meetings, we were looking forward to unwinding and enjoying some good food, and Maya Del Sol exceeded our expectations. We had a party of about 22 people, which can be quite challenging for any restaurant to handle, but the staff at Maya Del Sol handled it with grace and efficiency. Our server, Erin, deserves special recognition for her outstanding service. She was attentive, fast, and incredibly patient with our large group. It's not easy to cater to the needs of 22 people, but Erin did it flawlessly and with a smile on her face. I have no doubt that Erin went home exhausted after serving us, but her exceptional customer service truly made our dining experience unforgettable. Thank you, Erin and the rest of the Maya Del Sol team, for your hard work and dedication. We will definitely be back for more delicious food and fantastic service!“

“As always, Chef Paul’s restaurants are right on point. Katherine and I collectively have been to Vistro (Prime) a few times . . . and the food, craft cocktails, and atmosphere make for an excellent social and culinary experience. It was wonderful to see Patrick doing the Mixology while the other restaurant is in process of opening apparently this spring.This time around, Katherine and I stopped by for a craft cocktail, and we ended up enjoying the happy hour oysters that were very good.I have never offered a single suggested critique of Vie or Vistro.The only request I have is for the manager of Vistro Prime is to check the barstools at the bar.My barstool was wobbly, and it likely/ simply needs to be tightened up. I’m a handy person and have constructed and repaired barstools; so possibly, the hardware for some of your barstools needs to be tightened up and or repaired.They are beautiful barstools!Other than that, I completely recommend Vistro Prime to every and anyone that receives this review and all my friends and family as always!“

“I love this bar so much I started coming here with my friend Liz who works here and it's such a good vibe. No drama good music good drinks and amazing people. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BAR come down to tio Juan's for a good time and events“

“Got a quick drink here on a Saturday night after being turned away from a restaurant that was too busy. The music was really good and our drinks were delicious. We also got to share a conversation with someone who appeared to be the owner. Everyone was kind and helpful. I’m excited to return.“

“We came in on Valentines Day.and were floored by the service and martinis/wine/old fashion. The Martinis were above and beyond what you could find anywhere. The staff as a whole was attentive and treated us like family/regulars. I am very critical, too much, and we will be back here for sure. Thank you to the staff and libations!!!“

“Our wedding was made even more memorable thanks to the incredible catering provided by Wooden Paddle. From the first bite to the last, their pizzas were a culinary delight, leaving our guests raving about the flavors and quality. Not only were the pizzas delicious, but the service was exceptional—prompt, professional, and attentive to every detail. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and they effortlessly catered to our diverse dietary needs and preferences. With their rustic wood-fired oven and fresh, high-quality ingredients, charcuterie grazing table, and artsy drinks they brought the flavor to our special day. If you're looking to add a unique and delicious touch to your wedding, look no further than Wooden Paddle. They truly deserve every one of these five stars!“

“We can't say enough great things about this hidden gem in Riverside. First, take the tour. You'll learn the history of making Whiskey and Bourbon, Riverside history, and American history. Next, the tour provides you with a base of 8 spirits to try and learn all about. You'll be surprised at what you thought you didn't like but instead, just hadn't had a really great version of that spirit before. Finally, try a cocktail or two. The bartender is knowledgeable and funny and the drinks are out of thus world. You'll want to bring a little bit of everything home with you. Note...if you're not taking the tour, make a reservation! No matter what, GO!“

“This resturant is an absolute gem! The cocktail list is impressive and delicious. There are multiple, delicious craft Mexican-inspired cocktails. If you like spicy, be sure to select something with the homemade jalapeño simple syrup! The food was excellent. It is no exaggeration when I state that I had the BEST ground beef taco I have ever had. The al pastor taco and guacamole were delicious as well. Locals, we need to keep this place open. This family-owned and run resturant is a wonderful addition to our community!“

“Out with old in with the new. New owners that is .Same attentive bar tenders and friendly regulars Summer has a great garden area for groups New owner with more progressive ideas Large selection of martini's with ample portions Ask for a menu of the many different drinks beers and old time favorite drinks Great Cheers Bar“

“I met friends around 4p.m. on a beautiful sunny Saturday. Sitting outside was wonderful! Indoor there is still a great atmosphere with couches and TVs. I only ordered a lemon soup and Caramel Macchiato, both were delicious. Definitely will return, it had been so long since I'd been there. I forgot what a great place it is!!!“

“What a great addition to Lemont! We have been meaning to come here for a while, and now that we finally have we will be making it a point to come more often!The Qlamari were a delicious starter - very fresh and tender, with two delicious sauces. One was creamy green sauce, tasted like a spicy jalapeno coconut curry, the other was a sweet chili sauce.The entree's were a nice spin on traditional dishes. They had a good depth of flavor and had the traditional flavor while tasting elevated. I have never tried the fried rice noodles , I loved the crunch they added to the Lad Nar. The Pepper steak was delicious too.We are excited to try some more of our traditional thai favorites like drunken noodles, pad woon sen, etc the next time and see what kind of delicious spin they put on them!Also - at first I was surprised that they chose the strip mall on State as their location, but the interior is actually beautiful, cozy, and delightfully understated. I also appreciate that I didn't have to search for parking and I could easily order takeout here as well. Make this your next meal out - you won't be disappointed!!“

“You will not taste better Burger in Chicago than here . The servings are so big I had to take half of it home ,“шопска саката “needs better tomatoes ? they’re green , and a better choice,of Otentic cheese service by срћан was really great“

“Absolutely loved this place! The service was great, and the inviting atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a fun night out with friends. Our bartender was very attentive and friendly ensuring that we were happy with our food and drinks. Already can’t wait to go back! Highly recommended!“
