35 Best Wine Bars near Des Plaines

“This was the best night out!! We went out with friends and shared multiple dishes (and so much wine.) The food was outstanding. The wine was so flavourful and we just kept ordering more. The Black Grape Crostini was probably the best I've ever had. Go here for a cozy and welcoming atmosphere with great food and team!!!!!“

“Amazing food! Delicious drinks! Beautiful views. Fantastic staff! Highly recommend!!“

“If you don’t know yet, Lombard has got it going on! And GL105 is an outstanding example of this quaint suburb. Expect high quality and comfortable casual dining; perfect place to meet up with friends.

The bartender knows how to mix and they have great taste in wines. Their creative menu will please a variety of tastes with tender smoked meats, tasty Asian dishes and other savory feasts. We hit up the short rib stroganoff, chicken fried rice bowl and pressed short ribs. Every bite was delicious (maybe the mashed potatoes weren’t quite at the same level.)

Hosts were a little stiff but the rest of the staff was very committed to making sure we had a great time and we did!“

“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!

“Best wine selection anywhere around Itasca, Elk Grove Addison and Bloomingdale area!! The bartenders are great as well as Mark the owner being exceptionably knowledge and hospitable at his wine bar. Must at least go once“

“Our watercolor art class at Lynfred Winery was truly exceptional, thanks to the amazing and professional instructor, Becca. The cozy and inviting winery setting made it a perfect event for our group.“

“I wanted to make my own cheese board but did not have time. I was looking for a local cheese shop in the neighborhood and stumbled upon WineStyles. I completely forgot to take a picture. However Emily and her staff are wonderful! We ordered a cheese board for a party, normally this isn’t something they do. We bought our own board from HomeGoods and brought it to her, came back the next day for pickup with a wonderful board. I think there were 3 different meats, and 4 different cheeses. Along with the crackers, jam and almonds. Everything on the board was super delicious and it was a hit at the party!! The whole thing was gone within 20 minutes haha. We had quite a few people ask where we purchased it. We definitely think Emily & team should look into offering this as a regular service or at least around the holidays, it would be super popular. I love the aesthetic at her place as well. We also purchased a few bottles of wine which we brought to party. Also a huge hit! As a local business owner myself, I am happy we found this place and happy to support. My husband and I will definitely be coming here to eat and drink soon. We were both pleased with the friendly service and the amazing cheese board! We absolutely recommend! Thank you!“

“Such a nice wine shop! Went to the thanksgiving Wine tasting and it was 30 wines for $25 and a fantastic savory spread.
Very nice clean bathrooms
Great ambience
Would recommend
Wines in the wine tasting ranged in price from like $15-$80 and they had some very interesting limoncellos too.“

“Cesar. I was having the worst day because I found out my mom needed emergency surgery so I was rushing to get to Scottsdale and stopped for a glass of wine. (Or two) I realize I was late for my flight and ran to my gate. I of course left my laptop there. Thank you for reporting it because I was screwed if not. Somehow the laptop ended up at my gate and an attendant brought it to me. Great service. Great man and great vibes. Thanks for the wonderful service.“

“AMAZING!! great wine and snacks! the blueberry goat cheese is amazing the staff is so nice and hospitable and gave great wine recommendations definitely recommend the chocolate shots (won't give it away but they were a fantastic surprise!) we stayed for 3-3 1/2 hours it was a great time will definitely be back and will recommend to everyone!!!“

“I called on short notice to have 9 bottles purchased for a tasting menu party. I needed lighter bodied "crowd pleasers" for a diverse menu and on a restricted budget. I believe it was Adrian who graciously helped me over the phone. The wines were a massive hit with the wine newbies and those with a much more experienced palate than mine. I am grateful to have such a wonderful shop local to Oak Park that provides the extra effort of fabulous service and hospitality. All of my in-store experiences have been wonderful, as well. Kudos to ownership!“

“My family threw a surprise bday party for me at Tuscan. It was wonderful! The food was fantastic and never ending! The bartenders made sure everyone’s drink needs were met. We rented the entire place…..great venue for a private event! I highly recommend it!“

“My wife and I enjoyed the Spring menu when we visited Seasons 52, the keyword being 'enjoyed.' It's always a treat to dine at Seasons 52, and this time was no exception. From the Tuna Tartare appetizer, to the entrees of Carmelized Scallops and Shrimp and Grits, to the shot glass-sized Turtle Cheesecake and Oatmeal Cookie desserts, everything was delicious. And Valentyna, our server, did a great job taking care of us. It had been over a year since the last time we visited Seasons 52. We won't wait that long next time.“

“First time diners! And we were impressed with Jorge's service here. He was amazing. There were 6 of us celebrating my mom's birthday, and it was a great experience! From app to dessert (complimentary), would definitely recommend!! The food was so so, but the server really made our experience here 💯 enjoyable!“

“j'ai passé le meilleur moment ici. La nourriture était si bonne. J'y suis allé avec mes filles après le travail. Maintenant je vais dans ce café presque tous les jours ❤️“

“The bar experience with Mark and crew (usually, the amazing Evelina) is always phenomenal. The service is impeccable and the food and drinks are consistently delicious. From the moment we pull up and the valets greet us with smiles and warmth to the moment we plop ourselves at the bar we enjoy and appreciate every moment of our experience as Capital Grille Rosemont. We are so appreciative of the top tier experience. Kudos and Bravo!“

“Great food and service!!“

“Our food was delicious! We ordered the goat cheese as an app. Our dinner was the Braised short ribs with risotto, And I got the Filet Trio. So yummy!!!“

“We have visited Cooper Hawks in Morton Grove several times, sometimes for drinks and appetizers and sometimes for dinner and drinks, we have never had a bad experience. Great food and drinks, but we have been able to experience the same waitress Lori P. She is the best great personality food and drinks fast…… she is totally awesome. Thank you Lori for making our experience at Morton Grove Cooper Hawks great! See you next week.“

“Food: I got the breakfast sandwich with the gluten-free English muffin. I was impressed they had this option and then they could remove the cheese because they assemble it there. I do wish it had some kind of sauce or something as it was a bit dry, but overall, it was a good sandwich and usually I’m not a big fan of breakfast sandwiches cause I think the egg can be questionable
Drink: oat miel was very good!
Atmosphere: cute and I love that they have games to play

Dietary restrictions: Easy to make sandwich dairy and gluten free“

“Great food and service! Warm welcoming atmosphere.“

“Delicious and authentic Georgian food.“

“Great service, dinner choices and the wine is amazing! Will definitely be back!“

“We celebrated my birthday at Ruth Chris, arriving at 6:15 on a Thursday night. It was not crowded so the noise level was perfect and we could hear ourselves talk. The waiter was excellent, and the menu was varied. We knew prices before we arrived, so the expensive steaks were no surprise; however, the delicious flavor of the meat was so good that we were surprised about that.. Wine offerings were fair-priced and varied. The sides we ordered were delicious, especially the asparagus and sweet potato casserole. Ambiance was sophisticated but welcoming. It is a beautiful restaurant with excellent food. They pamper celebration diners with the table setting and a delicious desert gift. We intend to return for special events or for when the desire for really good steak is whispering to be heard.“

“Blueberry Wine is awesome!!“

“Great spot to perform Karaoke. DJ Eric The Icon is amazing and Karaoke is Thurs-Sun !! - A. Ron“

“Pablo, our waiter, was exceptional. During our first visit here, he warmly welcomed us and showcased impressive knowledge of the menu, even extending to items not listed. He encouraged us to customize our meal to our liking, and he certainly delivered! For starters, we chose the grilled calamari and Rockefeller oysters. The calamari was tender and impeccably cooked, steering clear of the typical rubbery texture. Opting for balsamic instead of oil was a perfect choice. The oysters were superb, not overwhelmed with cheese. I ordered the veal picatta from the menu, expecting a thin slab, but was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size. The angel hair pasta complemented the dish well, although I could have done without the mushrooms – a personal preference, which I should've mentioned. Nonetheless, if you're a mushroom enthusiast, they give you plenty. My boyfriend ordered off-menu, enjoying the Zuppe di Pesce with shrimp, clams, extra calamari, and rigatoni Diablo style in red sauce. It was absolutely amazing and satisfied his taste without being overly spicy. To accompany the meal, I had a glass of the house Chardonnay, which was light and buttery. Even my boyfriend, who doesn't typically drink wine, enjoyed it. Our heartfelt thanks to Pablo and the owner/chef Giovanni for an outstanding dining experience, both in terms of the meal and the service.“

“Fantastic addition to Northbrook…dine in or carry out, food is consistently delicious!“

“Wonderful server. Beautiful view outdoors overlooking golf course. Very tasty food.

Parking: Lots of spaces in private free lot at night. Don't know how crowded it is during the daytime when golfers using it too.

Wheelchair accessibility: We had wheelchair in our party and we're seated at table with easy access.“

“Nice dinning room, and great staff. Every dish was great tasting. We had a party of 12 and they did great.“

“It was a late night dinner and we were looking for someplace good and luckily Jameson's was still open. Coffee was good and we were very happy w the pork chops, chicken philly and chicken club sandwiches. That being said my salad lacked tomatoes and cucumbers. My chops were advertised to be center cut loin and I got one loin and one rib chop.“

“We were put in a very nice smallish dining room where we could easily hear each other. We all enjoyed our meals from turkey burgers to a salad to brussel sprouts and artichokes. Our waitress, Diana, was outstanding!!!! Super cute and friendly, efficient and we liked her bubbly personality so much we kept asking her to pull up a chair and join us! We will definitely come back but only when she's serving! Great meal and great service!!!!“
