25 Best Beer Bars near Downers Grove

“The bartender was really helpful and friendly. Even with a full bar, he took his time to make some recommendations and gave me his full attention while talking to me. The beer selection is really good. They also have beer available for sale.

Just a note, they don’t currently sell food. Drinks only.“

“well I had the pleasure to work here today, and even though it was court related I am so wanting and willing to help again on my own! its amazing that there are places and people who are out here in the world that we live in that care so much for others when mostly the people we have in our lives don't bother to try. I truly wish that more people felt more willing to give back to those who really need our help; rather than to take for their own selfish reasons and that is my wish. my recommendation would to have this place not change a thing but for people to change how they are to others! truly an amazing place to wana volunteer at or even to donate to give to those less fortunate!!! thank you for having me today!!!“

“I’ve been to Greece four different times, and I can tell you right now — Greek Islands gets as close to authentic Greek food as you can possibly get without boarding a flight to Athens.

The food was simply amazing. The chicken kebabs were perfectly seasoned, juicy, and grilled exactly the way they do it overseas. And the Mediterranean chicken with rice Wow. Full of flavor, tender, and seasoned in a way that instantly brings you back to a seaside taverna. Every bite tasted fresh no shortcuts here.

The calamari was so fresh, I could’ve sworn Poseidon brought the octopus in himself. Lightly breaded, perfectly fried, and incredibly tender — not rubbery at all. That’s how you know it’s the real deal.

The restaurant was super busy, and honestly, I could tell why. When a place is packed like that, it usually means one thing: they’re doing something right. The aesthetics of the restaurant are super cool too — it has that vibrant, warm Greek vibe that makes the whole experience feel authentic and lively.

If you’re craving real Greek food and want something that truly reminds you of the islands, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be back. 🇬🇷“

“The Poutine and Bread Dumplings are amazing. When we go that is sometimes all we order. They have an perfect rotation of beer and ciders from all over the world to fit ant taste you may have. They aren't open all the time but they are definitely worth going to when they are.“

“Bar and liquor store combo with a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a great selection of whiskey and beer.

We had our rehearsal dinner there, and it was exactly what we wanted. Very much our style. Saved us a bunch of money doing it there vs our other options. And the nice thing was that we were able to cater whatever food we wanted there.

We also got the spirits for our wedding through them. They had the best prices from everything we vetted, and we were able to return all the unopened bottles that were leftover after the event.

Thanks again to Dillon, the owner, who is a really nice guy!“

“The food and staff are outstanding !! Food is cooked fresh and has comes out perfect.. Staff is friendly and always provides excellent customer service. Menu is fairly priced and family friendly.“

“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!

“took my kids to their events and they are always amazing. food is the best and staff so friendly“

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

“We have always enjoyed VT but this was poorly managed. We came in on a Wednesday and ask to sit at a booth. The booth they sat us at was right next to a party they had going on. And people were standing right at the edge of the booth and was extremely loud. Why they didn't put the party separated in the empty section by the bar would be more appropriate. It seems they were over the limit on the one side. So we asked to move to a booth that was empty. They said we couldn't move to that booth as it wasn't open. Needless to say we took our business elsewhere.“

“Me and my family were in Chicago for the weekend and stopped in yesterday and ordered a tavern style and stuffed pizza both were amazing and definitely will be going back next time we are in area.“

“Very great all around! We will be back again!“

“there is a fantastic rock and roll brunch menu. the service is excellent. and I can highly recommend the Long Island Iced Teas.“

“We had an event at Nobel House on a Sunday afternoon. The staff was great and the food was out of this world. We had about 40 people and many told me how much they liked the food , atmosphere and service. Thanks to everyone there for making it great.“

“If you haven’t tried their pizza, shame on you! Chicago thin crust at its finest! I love their monthly pizza specials or just try a pepperoni. It doesn’t matter, but like Nike says, just do it…“

“Wonderful place to have a meal. The Dunkley Burgers is awesome!“

“The Neapolitan, Detroit, and tavern pizzas are all incredible. Don’t sleep on the wings, they are amazing too. The rock and roll ambiance is refreshing. Top notch all around.“

“Also a weird waitress that overserved. kept asking if we needed anything literally every 2-3 minutes. Great menu. Not the cleanest place. run down and dirty“

“Great good, cold beer, good service!“

“Stopped in after a gig with my band….cool place to hang!“

“Tried Tapville in Naperville and overall had a really good experience. The burger was juicy and flavorful without being overly greasy, and the chicken sandwich had a nice crispy texture with solid seasoning. The street tacos were probably my favorite — fresh, packed with flavor, and paired really well with the elote, which had the perfect balance of creamy, cheesy, and smoky.

Drink-wise, the margarita flight was a fun option if you like trying different flavors, and the sangria was refreshing and not overly sweet. The atmosphere was upbeat and modern, making it a great spot to hang out, watch a game, or grab dinner with friends.

Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the Naperville area and want good food with a social vibe.“
