20 Best Wine Bars near Elmwood Park

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

“Food was delicious. Everything we had was amazing.“

“Rootstock Wine and Beer Bar is an unassuming neighborhood gem that pairs an incredible wine selection with a stellar food menu. On a nice spring day, it’s an especially welcoming spot for solo diners looking for a high-quality meal without the pretense.
The oysters and shrimp cocktail were standouts—fresh, well-prepared, and offered at a great value compared to similar spots. It’s the kind of place that manages to feel low-key while delivering an experience that far exceeds the casual vibe of the space. Whether you're there for the deep wine list or a few small plates, it’s a consistently excellent choice.“

“I had a great time wine tasting here! We sat out on their patio, which was secluded and quiet. The perfect armosphere for a catch up with friends or a date night. The food is delicious too. My favorite was the shrimp ceviche. On Wednesdays, they do happy hour specials on tasting flights! I really enjoyed the Mediterranean white flight. Their broader wine list is also incredibly diverse, representing many regions and flavors. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Absolutely love this place and bar manager knows his wines. Very informative.“

“Our favorite spot in Park Ridge. Excellent food and wines. Very friendly to our kids during brunch and early dinners. Strongly recommend the wine club. Monthly selections have all been outstanding.“

“Im embarrassed it took us a couple of years to finally dine here but I'm SO grateful we FINALLY arrived and assure you we will be back again soon. Fun cocktail menu, great wine list and an impeccably delivered menu and great service! Thank you for the perfect date night!“

“Second time dining at Fiya! An exceptional experience again. Delicious food and fun cocktails. Our server was warm, bright, very knowledgeable, and welcoming. We got a bunch of apps, halloumi, falafel, and hummus. And for mains we got the chicken schnitzel, burger, and lamb kofta. All insanely delicious!! (Another can’t miss is the bejeweled rice. The mint corpse reviver was a perfect addition to the meal to refresh the palette.“

“Visited Chicago while on our anniversary trip and booked here on a whim. Loved everything from the interior and ambiance, the chance to see the masters at work at the chef’s counter, and of course the food.

I still dream about that burger and these dishes we had. I remember the taste of the white salsify with mussel — I learned that day what salsify was.

food: 5/5 no notes. their tubs filled with pickled goodness were so fun! everything was delish!

service: all the staff was great, our waitress was attentive and efficient. she left us alone and came over when called. the chefs were very cool! we got to watch them while at the counter and they gave us some stories. they even comped us for our anniversary dessert and my fiance still thinks about their ice cream LOL

atmosphere: sexy, moody, intimate. all the good things of a date night. and a great playlist!“

“Incredible drinks with a very friendly and vibrant vibe. Highly recommended for cocktail aficionados or just someone who appreciates a good cocktail. The staff is incredibly attentive to details and they always have some Cheez-Its to nosh on in-between sips. Cucumber water to stay hydrated and great artwork all over the place. Nice happy hour specials and very interesting offerings. Motown Martini Mondays are fun too.“

“LOVED the drinks and our Entrée was Spectacular can't wait to go back“

“Love this spot! Went for a wine tasting and had a cheese board and flatbread and it made for a perfect date night! The wines were really nice and we ended up taking two bottles home. Service is so friendly and everyone is so kind! Makes for a nice night out for sure!“

“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!

“GReat location in Roscoe village, nice wine list with full bar, friendly staff and great food as well“

“Love this place it’s a great date night“

“Amazing time and they have karaoke on Fridays! It was super fun!😁🥰“

“One of the best things about this locally owned business, is that it is locally owned!
Everything you want in a wine store that you don't always find, a great selection, very knowledgeable staff, great accompaniments like snacks and gifts, and a nice clean place that is extremely welcoming.

It's a great place to stop in the summertime and enjoy a cold glass of white sitting on the patio and in the winter time enjoying a nice glass of red sitting in the tasting room. They have lots of things that are not easy to find and what you would consider a gem! They pride themselves on having a unique selection different from the big box shops!

There are price points for everybody and everybody will feel comfortable shopping here.

Did I mention these are local owners and they are in the store almost every day, a little gem in our town!“

“Great staff and every thing we ordered was absolutely fantastic.“

“I stopped by today on my flight home. I don't really drink but I like playing the piano. I think it's awesome that they have one there I could play. It didn't have a bench but I asked a bar tender and he gave me one. Sat down and played all I wanted. Really nice people around to hang out with“
