50 Best Bar & Grill near Forest Park

“Had a great time here celebrating my 50th bday!“

“I came from San Francisco to visit a friend and was interested in trying out a cozy neighborhood pub. This place gave me 'Cheers' vibes (loved the banter between the patrons and the proprietor) we got the BLT which was super tasty. Non-pretentious, good food-drinks + relaxed ambiance…just what we were searching for!“

“Great Place. Love the food and great service.“

“They recently updated their menu I noticed pasta fried catfish and one day I even noticed a seafood boil coming from the kitchen 🤷🏽‍♂️🥳👏“

“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!“

“I gave them 4 stars for the friendly and quick service. I believe I paid 18.00 for 2 shots of some peanut butter tasting shot. Thats a hefty price, which is why i hang out in the burbs. Regardless, fun atmosphere. I would drop by again for a beer or two. Did not eat.“

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

“Primetime Bar and Grill is an absolute gem. The burger is phenomenal—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—and the wings are just as impressive, packed with bold flavor and cooked exactly right. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere and the people. From the moment you walk in, they treat you like family, making you feel genuinely welcome and appreciated. Great food, great service, and a great vibe all around. Highly recommend Primetime Bar and Grill to anyone looking for an outstanding meal and an even better experience.“

“Kristi.n at Uncle John’s is the best! We love coming here., especially for Bears games!!“

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

“Tumans Tap is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Tom and manager Joseph is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. The pub burger is marvelous. Must come back. 10/10.“

“We are on holidays here in Chicago from Australia and I searched up Balkan restaurants as I knew there is a big former Yugoslav community here. I am Bosnian myself so I thought we’d come here for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious and exactly like back in Sarajevo, Bosnia. It is a family run restaurant serving up the best Balkan dishes. The cevapi, pljeskavica and raznici were excellent, as was the chicken Soup. Thank you so much. Sve naj bolje vam zelim, I hvala vam opet!“

“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“

“We reserved a table for two for an early Christmas Eve dinner, and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, which made the evening feel extra special. We were quickly greeted by our server, Ashley, who was super attentive. She put in our drink order right away and brought out their complimentary soda bread, which was a great touch. We ordered the Shepherd’s pie and a wedge salad with chicken, everything was absolutely delicious, and the portions were quite large. We really enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back in the summer to enjoy their patio.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Vegan Birria Tacos (hibiscus flowers, spicy dipping sauce, vegan cheese, cilantro, onion, elote salad) are excellent. There were some very interesting flavors, the tacos have amazing variances in texture and a variety of flavors in a bite sweet, sour, tangy and just a little bit of heat. Great rotating draft beer options. The decor is very interesting with a huge dragon artwork on the ceiling in the bar area. I can wait to come back.“

“I hosted my son’s first birthday party on a Saturday afternoon here and can’t recommend them enough. Jason and Marcos were communicative and accommodating with all the planning. Ellie and Josh were great day-of service staff. Food was delicious, space was perfect. Best place in the neighborhood to host a party!“

“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.“

“Fabulous atmosphere, killer "naked" wings, tunes, and staff. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Fun times, good people, drama free.“

“My band just played there. Great place for music food and drinks. Super friendly staff. 💯 recommended, add it to your list of watering holes 🍻“

“We held a celebration of life for my brother here today. About 50 in attendance in the stylish, comfortable upstairs area. Despite the fact that I planned this from 400 miles away and without having ever seen the venue, it went off without a hitch due to Mr. David Candiotti and his staff. No surprises. Everything was as promised. The venue is extremely stylish and rustic. Food was delicious and plentiful as were the drinks. Service was fast, efficient and friendly thanks to Mona, Alberto and Olena. I highly recommend.“

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

“Romantic environment, feel warm and cozy“
