5 Best Wine Bars in Galena

“We had a great afternoon in their igloos! They were so kind and attentive! We had kids with us, but they even had flights of sparkling grape juice for them.“

“Amazing stop to finish our day shopping downtown. Food was excellent and the service was amazing! Stop in- you won’t be disappointed“

“We had a great experience at Fried Green Tomatoes Restaurant tonight! The service was fantastic, the food was so good, and we didn't want for anything! Our server Carly was the best and so was your whole team! Would definitely recommend eating here.“

“Stumbled upon this adorable little bar while visiting two friends in a small town, and honestly, it stole my heart. The vibe is cozy, the people are lovely, and the energy is just chef’s kiss. One of my friends works here, and it was such a joy to see her in her element, welcoming, friendly, and making the place feel even more special.

Now let’s talk about the tiramisu cocktail… WOW. It was like dessert and happiness had a baby. Creamy, sweet, and just the right amount of boozy, it’s worth the visit alone!

If you ever find yourself nearby, do yourself a favor and drop in. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a secret and you’ll leave with a full heart and maybe a tiny buzz. Love you paula“

“Decided to cap off my wife's two-day BDay celebration with the 7 friends and family remaining in Galena after big Friday night BDay party of 30.. Chose Vinny's and boy was it special! First off, the food. Italian sauces and pasta were all homemade (from Grandma's recipe we later discovered from her GDaughter) plentiful AND delicious. If you like homemade meat balls as I do, get the side order! And oh my, if you like Garlic bread, they make it special and serve it by the boatload! We took some home! But the BEST part was our server - Grayson an unbelievably charming and delightful young lady. As we always do, we asked her what her story was? (Try it sometime, you w/be amazed). Former professional dancer, married to a former British soccer dude, both called into weekend service by her Irish “Da” (as they say in Dublin) who owns Vinnie's with wife's family. Turns out she danced in Chicago for the Troupe run by a very famous lady (Mrs. Bataille) who taught just about every little girl (including my daughter) in our hometown of Barrington. My son and I could not believe it. Then my Argentinian-born D-I-L (who happens to be a 50+ year old soccer player and fan of British soccer) went nuts over Ben, Grayson's hubby. You can't make this stuff up - probably one of the best meals from a cuisine and ambiance meals any of us have ever had. Highly recommend it!“
