50 Best Bars near Glencoe

“Great food and a great atmosphere!“

“Made a delivery and the owners had been notified by my employer that it was my birthday. They put together a margarita to go for me and I can honestly say I’ve never had a better one. And the owners were extremely kind even though I was running late.“

“Wow. I had the soup/stew. It was great. Don't miss the garden. Koi pond. Lester the owner has stories. This is where waiters and waitresses go.“

“Looking forward to visiting again 😊😊“

“First visit there tonight and it was a lot of fun. Everybody there was really chill, was having a good time, and the bartenders were absolutely amazing. Can't believe I didn't come here sooner but I'll definitely be here more often!“

“I can’t say enough great things about U-Star Karaoke! We had the absolute best night ever. They went above and beyond by opening up on a Tuesday just for our group of 25, which made us feel incredibly welcome. The room was super spacious and they had an endless selection of songs. The staff was so kind and attentive all evening, and they really made sure we had a blast. As a cherry on top, the staff gave us a complimentary bottle of soju and some glasses to take home at the end of the night. It was such a thoughtful touch and really made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend, and we will be back!“

“Erin was our server and was awesome. The chicken sandwich I had was amazing. The Mexican corn side was also amazing. My father had a burger which was huge and he said delicious. I will definitely come back again.“

“Sovereign is the best type of Chicago dive. Cheap beer, good people, best jukebox you'll find. Much love to them for letting my band do a fundraiser for my buddy's medical bills. The crowd, the staff, and the regulars dug deep and we've covered medication costs for the next couple month“

“Fantastic outdoor music and drinks venue, right on the water in a nice little harbor. Great people behind the bar and in the crowd.“

“A great spot to hangout and grab a drink.“

“Great classic Chicago Tavern with a pool table, live music and a fun blues jam on Tuesday nights!“

“Loved Jarvis Square—what a hidden gem! The neighborhood vibe is so inviting, and the Wednesday open mic night is an absolute highlight. I really appreciated that the first five performance spots are set aside for queer voices—such a thoughtful and inclusive gesture. Drinks are well priced, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the energy is warm and supportive. I’ll definitely be back! Cash Only.“

“My husband and I are visiting from Arizona and were meeting some friends in The Glen. We planned on going to The Yardhouse, but thought it was too noisy. Saw the reviews for The Oak and we were so glad we did. The burger I had was the best burger I have ever had, our friend felt the same. My husband and our other friend had the rueben, they loved them also. We left the restaurant and we were going to take individual pics, then this really nice guy offered to take a picture of all of us. He was so very nice. Guess what, he was the owner. We will definitely be back on our next visit here and our friends will be back sooner. Great food!!!!“

“The food is delicious and staff is very welcoming. Great vibe to relax and visit with your friends. I come here every time I'm in the area.“

“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!“

““The Gallery made my wife’s surprise 75th birthday celebration absolutely unforgettable. Cecilia handled every detail with warmth and professionalism—helping me find a photographer, musician, flowers, and balloons that made the evening shine. Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres followed by a beautifully paced five-course dinner, complete with honey-inspired cocktails (using our own honey!) and a honey mustard salad dressing the chef created just for us. The food, wine pairings, and service were all outstanding—friendly, polished, and perfectly timed. The room’s unpretentious elegance and local artwork created the ideal setting for a night full of laughter, connection, and joy. Mission accomplished!”“

“Great place. Been going for over 50 years. Cash only is no problem. Food is great and beer selection is outstanding. A true gem on the north shore. Wisconsin road house in Glenveiw.“

“Great, friendly, neighborhood bar. Jimmy will make you feel like you've been friends forever. Not usually open on Sundays, but Jimmy will open specially for Bears games, and you might also get to sample his homemade chili, sloppy joes, or maybe even some Little Caesar's pizza! ?“

“What a great local spot! Love hanging here with a group of friends and playing pool and darts! Regulars make me feel right at home, as well as the friendly bartenders! highly recommend!“

“Lively, loud, exciting and fun!“

“We have discovered this place 3 years ago when we are searching for an outdoor casual dining. What we found was a great place that had outdoor seating on a deck patio with umbrellas and a TV set to watch sporting events. The service was friendly, and the food was great. The drinks were very reasonable. The menu was large having everything from sandwiches to dinners. We never had a bad experience there and brought family and friends to enjoy the evening sitting outside. We always come back.“

“Everything was wonderful Service was great. Friendly atmosphere“

“Try their chili! It is the best. Great atmosphere.“

“Best place to go staff is the best and owner is awesome!!!“

“Never heard of this place but caught sight of it on the way to Superdawg. Looked like a good place for after lunch drink. Perfect corner bar. Pretty crowded actually but you can tell how friendly a place is when they make room for you. Great bar, everyone was happy, service was great. Lots of TVs and not overly loud. Great bar.“

“Gus is an awesome beertender“

“They support live music entertainment!“

“I miss this place. It was my regular spot in 2007 & 2008 before I moved back to California. Very diverse crowd of regulars from different walks of life, but everyone knew each other. Jim is awesome. If I could still give him my money for alcohol, I would.“

“service here has been very good and it's a very very comfortable vibe. the atmosphere is like a low key sports bar - not quite dive like described in some reviews. the taps have a decent selection at good prices. probably wouldn't show up with a cocktail dinner but would love to see a cocktail on draft - could probably get my cocktail people in there if they added that. backdoor pseudo patio - but I've only been there January - April so maybe they add furniture? all else, will definitely return.“

“Kickin place for a drink.“

“Great food and service! Warm welcoming atmosphere.“

“I just took my 12 year old nephew here as a surprise adventure. The place is amazing! It’s well laid out. There is plenty to do for every one. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond. And the prices are reasonable for both games and the bar. We will definitely be back.“

“Great neighborhood tavern! Friendly local professionals! A working mans bar !“

“This place is great. Great prices on drinks and food, terrific staff, board games, plenty of TVs, a patio, nice atmosphere and pretty cool clientele. Ya can’t miss here.“

“Tasty, tasty, tasty! Husband and I both loved our choices!“

“Always had a great experience there. Will, the bartender, is great!!!“

“To be totally honest, I wasn't fully prepared for Silvana’s. It’s difficult to find because the front door is plain with no signage… at least that we could find. Everything inside is humble - the place and the people. My Spanish is very bad, but everyone was so very nice and it wasn’t a problem. You do need to bring cash. My friends and I truly did have a great time, and next time I’m in the neighborhood, I’ll be stopping by. Go! You’ll have a great time!“

“I love all the people here! ?????? I came here to celebrate ? Cinco De Mayo. And they all were so sweet. If you do decide to go just make sure you take cash....they don't accept credit/ debit cards. They're drinks are reasonable and cozy vibes. (Updated 2024: AND STILL GOOD VIBES)“

“what more can y ask for in a dive bare?“

“Ireland’s is so fun! Love all their events, especially tap takeover �“

“Friendly crowd, great service, & great prices. Outdoor Beer Garden a huge plus. Dog friendly, too.“

“Great, warm interior. Semi-circular tufted seat banquets and wall tables. Ask for server Ned B. Wine and ales very good. An order of Burrata came w toasted rolls, roasted tomato and pesto. Very good. Fried Calamari was nicely cooked and had a side of ginger dipping sauce, also good.Surprised at the 15% meals tax. I’m from out of state.“

“Took a trip out to the area, decided to stop here to eat on the way home. Wow we were delighted. Chris was great and made me literally the best amaretto sour ever. I got the pan roast and my partner got the gumbo. Huge portions. So delicious.“

“Visiting from another State, and needed a night cap to help me sleep. Great Atmosphere and friendly staff. Nobody bothered me either. Beer was $4.00, and I thought that was cheap despite it being Chicago and I only pay $3.25 at home. Would definitely recommend 👌“

“Always remember how many times jim small would forget to give change for a twenty also houghlund and delaney two more small people“

“Nice bar ever play some Rasta music and it’s quite place you can enjoy when you’re free.“

“We had our sons High School Graduation party in the main level party room and I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to the Edison Park Inn team, especially Dennis who worked with us to get all the details knocked out and made the process very easy and our absolutely wonderful server Michelle, she was FANTASTIC! She made every guest feel warm and welcome. the pizzas were hot and fresh, the salad was perfect and the chicken is still being raved about today. Booking EPI's was exactly what we were hoping for, a laid back atmosphere where the younger kids could move around and the older kids felt at home, the adults, well we had a great time and could not have been happier. I HIGHLY recommend EPI for your party needs, you cannot go wrong.“

“The best Chicago gay bars are far away from Boystown. This is one of the best. Friendly, diverse crowd of regulars. Bartenders are friendly. It's a good place to have an intimate tete a tete with a dear friend or a casual chat with a stranger. Well decorated for Halloween .“
