50 Best Bar & Grill near Evanston

“Good, service, atmosphere! Just the best!“

“I love this place. Plus they are SO EASY TO WORK WITH when you want to host a private event. Highly recommend for youth sports banquets and the like. It is not easy to find a place that is so accommodating and lets you use the AV equipment for free (to show game film or season slideshows etc.).“

“A must see if you go to Chicago. Burgers are the best in the city. Great vibes.“

“I came in from out of state and I loved this place. My favorite bar in the neighborhood that I got to visit. Went back a couple times throughout my visit. They even changed one tv for me to watch my OKC Thunder game. Thank you for making me feel welcome.“

“Best buffalo garlic chicken wings I’ve ever had hands down! Great atmosphere and great service!“

“Ordered to go and picked up within an hour. Absolutely THE BEST bourak I've ever had. We had the cheese, and cheese with spinach.
The people who own the place are friendly and kind. The chef was so sweet.
I'll need to go back and try other things on the menu“

“Friendly staff, great place to be and the chips and salsa are so good!!!!“

“We stopped in for brunch on the recommendation of our son, who said he’d heard good things about the Wolfhound. He was right! Great food and atmosphere and the owner is a great guy!“

“Cool little place in the middle of a nieghborhood . Great food. My husband and I love to go there.“

“This is a nice addition to the neighborhood!

Really like how gf friendly the menu is, that was a great surprise.

The cocktails here are great! Their happy hour is also an excellent deal. Service has generally always been friendly and attentive even when it's very busy. There's additional seating back behind the bar that's really nice for groups.“

“Fantastic food, wide assortment of drinks, friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent ambience. One of my favorite places in the city.“

“Food was delicious, wish they would’ve offered a box for the rest of my fries though instead of tossing them. Would like to come back again to try more of their burgers“

“I just hosted my wedding at Chief O’Neill’s on Saturday and it could not have been more perfect. Siobhan and her team took amazing care of us! The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, and every one of our guests was gushing about how impressed they were by everything! The back beer garden is so magical, you would have thought we spent tens of thousands of dollars to dress it up, but we didn’t need to. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue to host a wedding, party, shower, or intimate event, you should definitely give them a visit!“

“I've been here multiple times now and every visit is fantastic! Great beer and mixed drinks. Food and service is absolutely top notch. The best spot for Cevapi in my opinion. The shopska salad is fresh and addictive. The burger is delicious and the spicy sauce they add to it is a favorite of mine that sets their burger apart from the exploding smash burger scene. The schnitzel is also excellent. I highly recommend you check out Rosewood Tavern.“

“Such an amazing spot! A great addition to the neighborhood! The service is amazing, everyone who works here is so friendly, kind and attentive. The food is great (the santi spring rolls is a hit on the salty side however). This spot is not just great as a local spot, but also worth a trip. The outdoor patio area is so nice and has music and indoors, there’s a really charming atmosphere with a fireplace. Love it!“

“We went to the new location on Belmont this last weekend & are so thrilled with our experience. From the service to the drinks and the food, everything was delicious. I ordered the steak sandwich & thought it was fantastic (I like mine cheesy & saucy). My husband ordered the "Da Bears" burger & ate the whole thing. We started with the cheese curds that the table cleared within minutes. Our server was wonderful as well, she was attentive & we never had an empty glass. If you like trying all kinds of martini's, we really enjoyed the "pickletini". Cannot wait to go again & enjoy their patio & try a bloody mary :)“

“Everything was great. Enjoyed my Brunch“

“Stopped by Four Moon Tavern on a Friday night, had the Pimento Burger and a side of onion rings. Burger was juicy, cheesy, and hit the spot; onion rings were crispy and not greasy. Tossed back a $3.50 bottle of Schlitz during happy hour, can’t beat that. The jukebox was playing classic rock, the vibe was chill, and the staff was friendly. Definitely a solid neighborhood bar with good food and drinks. I’ll be back for sure.“

“A dive bar? With Bourbon County on tap? Rabbits could be Moe's tavern right out of the Simpsons, but don't let that fool you. No Duff's here, but there is always a better than average and sometimes exceptional tap lineup for beer geeks. But don't let the secret out that you can get the full BCBS experience here in the fall without the crowd.“

“Great place! Gotta love a place with great bartenders with good attitudes and good food ! The pizza was amazing and the wings were a perfect crispy! We definitely will come back when we visit Chicago! It’s a friendly neighborhood bar ❤️ wish our air bnb was closer !“

“Cocktails were good if pricey, great service, fun atmosphere“

“Best soccer pub in the Midwest, maybe the country. Can’t beat the world-wide coverage, the beer and drinks menu, the food quality, and the great service. No one has this combination. That’s why Hudson’s is the official home pub of the Chicago Hammers. They know and care for the game and its supporters, and not just the so-called big six.“

“Great food, staff and music.“

“The best food in North side of Chicago Fresh with homemade bread every day Their pizza is amazing Fish made with authentic style from Adratic sea ❤️❤️❤️“

“Omg!! I can't say enough nice things!! I was working the Southport Art Fest this weekend as a Brand Ambassador and it's always hard to find great food, at a reasonable price, that's ready fast enough. They hit it outta the park!!! The burgers are fire and as big as your head!! The staff is super friendly and took great care of all of us!! Thank you guys SO much for your hospitality, fast service and awesome food!!!!“

“great tacos! awesome beer listing. terrific ahi tuna bahn mi sandwich! wonderful owners and servers.“

“Great food, service, and outdoor seating!“

“As soon as you walk in the door you realize that it’s not a bar - it’s a comfortable shoe, a true neighborhood joint that is congenial and friendly. Love the signs such as Hamns Beer $ 3 every day and Chicago sports photos on the walls; excellent tavern style pizza ! Love the history behind the building It’s a classic that reminds of the bars in my hood on the Southside of Chicago“

“Food are great And good drinks too“

“Great local find! The patio/beer garden is dog friendly with a fire pit, TVs and really nice comfortable seating, plus lawn games connect 4. There was a nicer wine selection than I was expecting for a local bar. The inside design was lovely.

New menu just started and fried chicken sandwich was so tasty!! Menu is small but everything we had was very good.

Can’t wait to go back!“

“Raphael is the absolute best. He made our night & we couldn’t have had a better experience he deserves the biggest raise in the world. 10/10, 11/10 the maximum amount out of ten possible in the world.“

“We hosted our businesses Christmas dinner here and they easily accommodated 15 of us. The food was excellent, the holiday decor was incredible and the service was outstanding. If they weren’t 2 hours away this would be our regular date-night spot. 100% recommend!“

“One of the oldest bar is In Chicago I’ve been going for 30 years and still love it“

“What a pizza! this is the new spot. we ordered pizza and buffalo wings, both were delicious“

“Great neighborhood dive bar; good prices, great pub food, pool table, juke box, decent craft beer selection, outdoor seating area, nice mix of clientele. Highly recommend the grilled chicken sandwich, burgers, fried mushrooms and pierogi's with sour cream.

Parking: Free Street parking, never had an issue. You can park across the street in the bank parking lot when it's closed, don't park there when the bank is open!“

“Awesome place. Good food, good beer list and great bartenders!“

“Walked into this place with low expectations. My buddy told me this place had the best wings he has ever had (wings are my favorite food). These are in my top 3. Place is incredible and this owner is sleeping on a gold mine. A little more marketing and social media presence will have this place packed to the gills.“

“The staff here is fantastic. I come here quite often and feel like I'm walking into a friend's house. Place is a great spot to grab a nice bite to eat or a few drinks with friends
Even today Alex-one of the managers went on the roof during a storm to try and fix the satellite for the TV. Amazing service!
Hannah on Mondays are fantastic. Country music Mondays! Most of time“

“Buen ambiente y buen servicio.“

“i’m writing this review as i’m still sitting in the booth because it was just THAT good.

i ordered the french onion burger with the regular fries on the side, and let me tell you i haven’t had a burger check every box like this one. the garlic aioli was the perfect amount of flavor to complement the caramelized onions. the bun was seemingly buttered and fluffy. and the fries!! they had a flakey salt with not one fry left unsalted. they were also thin and crispy to perfection.

the service was great and every staff member was always smiling. i never write reviews but this one felt very necessary. 5 stars from me!“

“Great neighborhood bar! They have a huge patio, great specials, and amazing food & service! This place is an absolute gem in the neighborhood! Definitely going to be a regular for trivia on Wednesdays ✌️“

“Lived in the neighborhood going on 2 years and have never gone wrong… Don’t feel like cooking ✅ Want something fast✅ Quick drinky drink to unwind ✅ Comfort food? Pizza ✅ Wings ✅ Italian beef ✅ Burgers ✅ Fries, tots, nachos ✅✅✅“

“Great spot in the shadow of wrigley right before a cubs game. Great food. Cold beer. A new favorite for us.“

“Very nice place. Great service,respectful bartenders..“

“I have to add an edit. First, the owner updated the menu and it is absolutely next level. Second, I tried their smash burger yesterday. It was beyond excellent. The flavor was incredible. It was built perfectly. You could pay twice as much and not get a better burger in the neighborhood. And it’s all made by hand. And on top of all that…and I value service over food…the service is always excellent and the atmosphere is always what I look forward to as well. They have yet to disappoint me. This is one of only two bars I go to anymore. I could not recommend more. If you haven’t already, check it out! You will be happy you took my advice.

Try the pizza! The shrimp salad is excellent too! Really good atmosphere and friendly staff who almost always just pour my “usual” as soon as I walk in. It’s a really good spot where you can meet a lot of people for interesting conversation. I very highly recommend this bar.“

“I’m not usually a dive bar person, but this place is the exception. It has the relaxed, no-frills vibe you’d expect, but the cocktails are surprisingly great… way better than most dives.

What really sets it apart is the staff. They genuinely care about their patrons’ safety, which makes me feel comfortable coming here on my own. That peace of mind, plus the good drinks, makes this my go-to neighborhood spot.“

“I LOVE this place cuz it my neighborhood bar but the new hires are charging tooooo much for one drink in a lil PLASTIC cup . It’s not busy like before & I think that’s why. When I started going both sides were jumping the drinks were on point and affordable but now it’s that one side and it’s a lil dead & a lot of times closed! 😒 I don’t know want this place to die out like every other place . Fix it ? ❤️ $38 for 2 drinks ,plastic cups & not even half way full . I got money but that’s ridiculous ! Js.“

“Great place to eat and drink. And have one of our meetings in the backroom.“

“Can't say enough great things about my visit here! I stopped in with some friends for the first time this past Saturday. We sat at the bar and our bartender, Bridget, was fantastic.

Even though it was super busy, Bridget made sure to greet us and take care of our orders quickly. She was super personable and deliberately made time to engage with us in between taking care of other customers. She knew the menu inside and out and made great food and drink recommendations to us, and overall ensured we had a great experience from start to finish.

This is definitely our new, go-to neighborhood spot, and we will be coming back on the regular. The staff, music, vibes, and menu impressed us beyond expectation.“

“awesome platform best one out there“
