45 Best Bars near Gages Lake

“Wonderful place to land!!!!“

“Very clean place, no frills neighborhood bar.
The place needs to at least have a sign that says firehouse! It just looks like a plain white house, my friends have had a hard time trying to find it.
At least paint a "Firehouse with fire trucks" or even better do huge flames 🔥 to make it stand out. It always looks like it is closed, empty and uninviting.“

“Great cocktails. Busy even as the evening started to progress. My beet salad with shrimp was tasty. Pretty lake view“

“There is nothing about this place I don't recommend. The meads are amazing, their Cocktail Master is amazing at coming up with unusual combinations, and is great fun to talk to. The music mix is great as well (but possibly because I'm old 😁)! Overall, the place is extremely welcoming, with a selection of games and sofas so you can sit and enjoy your drinks and socialize.“

“The food!!! The staff!!! I've tried most everything and loved it.“

“My family and I came here for dinner tonight and I have to admit, this was such a great experience. The staff was absolutely amazing and the food was to delicious. The potstickers are an absolute must try. Especially after finding out they are house made! Great experience, great environment. Will absolutely be coming back!!“

“Always a fun time at Oak Trail.“

“Visited for the first time last night! What a lovely experience admiring beautiful art and sampling light hors d’oeuvres. Can’t wait to try again for dinner!“

“Great little venue for an outdoor concert. Went to go see the Angry Squirrels. It was a great show. They had a nice outside bar, and a lot of really cool people milling around, nice relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend R&R Crossing.“

“An excellent dive bar that never disappoints! Half the fun is NEVER knowing if it's going to be jam packed standing room only busy, or just a couple of patrons. Get the bartender to bake a Quonset pizza, or toss you a frozen Charleston Chew with your favorite drink!“

“Just a note for any Google personnel reading this. I did not stop at this bar, and have no clue where it even is located. Sono idea why Google wants me to rate an establishment I have never visited. Very strange. Your system needs work.I'd give the review one star over Google screwing up. But that's not fair to the bar. 5 stars simply because their rating shouldn't suffer over Google maps being stupid. If this is a Google AI test, it failed miserably.“

“I recently visited Lucky’s Penny, and I must say it’s an absolute gem! This place effortlessly combines the thrill of gaming, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere to create a perfect hangout spot. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance that set the tone for a fantastic evening.

One of the standout features is the variety of activities available. Whether you're looking to try your luck at the slot machines, engage in some friendly competition with a range of other games, or simply relax with a drink, Lucky’s Penny has it all. The slot machines were particularly fun, providing just the right amount of excitement and the chance to win some extra cash.

The food here is another highlight. We ordered the pizza, and it was outstanding. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings were fresh and flavorful, and the cheese melted just right. It’s evident that they put a lot of care into their food, and it shows.

And let's not forget the drinks! I was particularly impressed by the way they fill the beer glass, ensuring a perfect pour every time. The selection of drinks is extensive, catering to all tastes and preferences. Whether you’re a beer lover or prefer cocktails, there’s something for everyone.

Lucky’s Penny is more than just a place to eat and drink; it’s a complete entertainment experience. The combination of great food, fun games, and a vibrant atmosphere makes it a must-visit spot. I highly recommend Lucky’s Penny to anyone looking for a fun night out. It’s the perfect place to unwind, have fun, and make some great memories. Five stars all the way!“

“I went there with a 20$ match and play coupon and they did not honor the coupon at all they told me NO NO“

“Awesome spot to gamble and hangout with great people. It's crazy fun! 🤪“

“This restaurant could probably survive (with some lower cost) outside of a theme park. I only have tried one thing, the pulled cajun chicken and Mac and cheese) and they were really good. There's a selection of sauces at your table. If you have a dining pass, I would suggest visiting this place. If you don't, it will cost you a good penny (18-16 per entree, that does include a side).“

“The staff is nice and professional..The Food is rated #1 and the drinks are poured to perfection. Ample parking. Safe Environment..“

“This is a dive bar. I did have wings, they were good, but not like, Michelin Star good, just dive bar good.The service has been excellent. The bartender made me my wings even though the kitchen was closed, because she still had a fryer on, and I ASKED NICELY.Don't be a dink if they can't accomidate you after reading this.Thank you.“

“Skoro bas svaku noc sam u Lucky pub-u i zaista je usluga pice sve extra neznm imali boljeg puba od ovoga“

“Improving Fairfield everyday! This is a family of different personalities- 6 gaming machines-- Friday night pool games- yes we may be "ran down" compared to some but we make up for our cosmetic shortcomings with spicy and unique bartenders and regulars! I ask you to just give the Tap-less a chance! Come in on Mondays for 1$ domestic cans 11a- 11p (open until 1am on mondays) also on Fridays we have $2.50 imports open- 9pm! Come watch some of our family play pool!“

“The Owner (Danny) treats everyone with Kindness and Respect. Kind of like the Bar “Cheers.” He won’t forget your name and he will always greet you with a smile.Also enjoy the music-especially the 20 minute plus version of “Get Ready” by Rare Earth!“

“This place has really changed! It’s not the old Nutties anymore. Clean -food is great - nice atmosphere. The service was amazing. Our bartender Natalie was a gem! It’s hard to find bartenders that are on top of things and make you feel welcome. She made us want to come back and tell our friends that Nutties is 100 times better!“

“What a wonderful place to enjoy a cocktail! Live music on Thursday nights. Jack is the best part. Amazing sense of humor. Great person. This bar is a “must visit”.“

“Stay away , apparently they have enough “private party’s “ to stay in business…. Stay away!!!!!! For a Long time now.“

“I stopped in there for a beer and unfortunately I didn't catch the crowd on this occasion. Wasn't their fault apparently I missed the crowd. But I think I did show up like Sunday after a funeral... Yeah, life.. anyway, I thought it was nice just wish I met some of the people. I love people!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“I love this place! The people behind the bar and the customers are friendly. I’ve been there 4 different times. New Years Eve I went there with my daughter, she’s 42, we had a blast! I went there another time and they had 3 bands playing rock and roll. They were all great! I got people up dancing and then we really starting having a really great time! Another time I stopped in after church. I didn’t know anyone but everyone there felt like we were friends for years. Sorta like the TV show “Cheers”. I had a great time every time I was there. Again, I love this place!“

“We had drinks and dinner at Mundelein restaurant on Saturday 10/5/24. We didn’t have reservations so we ate at the bar. It was all excellent! Friendly staff and the bartender made an excellent Margarita! Will be going back“

“The kind-of-like chicken Tortilla soup was very tasty & VERY hot. The Glog had a different taste than I'm used to, but it tasted okay and was heated to the correct temperature.

Another person had the broasted chicken that had been recommended, and if he could, he probably would have devoured the bones!

My mom had the tacos and said they were yummy.

My next visit I had sangria & the Thanksgiving sandwich & friend had the tuna tacos.

The chutney on the turkey sandwich wasn't to my liking, but everything else was very good.“

“Trivia nights, high -end drink selections“
