23 Best Cocktail Bars near Deer Park

“Mixed reviews about this place, but it was on when we went. Food was surprisingly good. It's not authentic, and it's not trying to be. Very tasty for what it is. Fancy Guacamole is good, fusion tacos are good, coconut shrimp with chutney was tasty.

Vibes are great decor is nice for a date. Service was great too. Just an overall great experience. If you want a nice place to try a little different take on Mexican food in a nice environment, this is it.“

“I had a really great experience here. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. She coached us through our options and everyone at the table had very different preferences and requests and she was incredibly patient and accommodating. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. We had a great first visit, and even got a tour of the facility. It made for a special experience, and I'll be returning in the future with friends for sure.“

“Best bowling alley in the area. Had a great time!!! Definitely a hidden jem!“

“Repeat customer at Beats and Brunch that exceeded my expectations, again! The attention to detail by GM Eric was outstanding, making our entire brunch experience feel like VIP service. Our server, Zero, was exceptional, and the bar’s drink selection was impressive. The staff was friendly and welcoming across the board. For a more intimate vibe, the Chef’s Table is the perfect spot — but if you want to feel the energy and dance vibes, grab a table by the DJ!“

“Great place to end a day and start the weekend“

“My waiter was good and friendly. I sat in covered patio. I ordered a spring salad with shrimp. blackberries, grapefruit, candied pecans, arugula and berry vinaigrette and a side of Mac n cheese. The salad was missing the pecans but I forgot until I left, I thought something was missing. However, the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The ratio of shrimp to half portion was good. Mac N Cheese was ok. Noodles were undercooked and some still hard/crunchy edges and cheese sauce was just average and a bit gritty/thick. However, I was not expecting my meal to be served with plastic wrapped plastic utensils. a take home box for salad and a take home container for dining in. That was disappointing. the table of eight next to me was a bit shocked too to get their meals in to go cardboard containers.“

“I decided to go to LAGO for the first time last night, and I’m so grateful I did! From the moment we arrived, the valet was incredibly kind, and the ambience struck the perfect balance—upscale yet cozy and welcoming. I felt at home immediately, with that unmistakable “city” energy that makes a night out feel special. Our server, Lexi, was absolutely wonderful—beautiful, vibrant, and genuinely attentive. She went above and beyond to make my birthday feel truly special, and we all adored her. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and every detail reflected how much care and expertise go into this restaurant. I’ve been missing a place like this, and I can’t wait to come back. LAGO is something special.“

“I absolutely love this place! I live in Highland Park, so I find myself visiting often, and each time is a great experience. The service is awesome, and the staff is kind. The only thing is that the music is too loud!!!“

“Great food and waitress was great! Came in for lunch Monday morning! Will definitely be back!“

“I spent 3 nights here. The hotel is really nice in my opinion. First night was a Friday night. Ordered some alcoholic drinks that were really good. The Thai calamari & Louie burger and fries. Food was great, bartenders that night were really great. Second night. Different crew and the restaurant was pretty packed believe the Milwaukee brewers were playing the cubs to wrap up the series. So yea that was the atmosphere of that night vs Friday night super lowkey fast service. Obviously it was harder to get served that night. I got burnt tenders and the wrong food . So I had to return it immediately. Which was already after waiting an extensive time to even get water to our table. So yea took away from the experience overall. Each visit spent over 100$. Oh and I got that chocolate cake dessert, it was nasty. They had breakfast. Breakfast was good . However, we were told that breakfast came with the room. Every morning we went down for it. The morning of our departure we were met at our table (after we already began eating) how we were going to pay for the food. Nobody discussed / disclosed that you had to have a voucher or pay at the desk. We were told at check in it was covered. Obviously had to escalate it . Still felt like an explanation was not clear. I pretty much answered it myself. So the communication of the staff to customer could definitely use some work. Overall stay was good . Hotel was nice and clean. Only took pics of the good looking food from Friday night & the breakfast.“

“We found this place in our way to another breakfast place and decided to stop. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Best breakfast food we have had ever, restaurant is extremely clean, everyone working was friendly. We will definitely return if we are near Chicago again“

“Food and service was amazing!“
