50 Best Bars near Glenview

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“All I know is that the food is so good that I have been here 3 times since it opened (Which has been less then 6 months). I know I should branch out and try the other offerings but I just really love the Tori Paitan and will be back more when the cooler weather is fully settled in.
I also sincerely appreciate that there are good non-alcoholic mixed drinks, because sometimes someone just wants a fun mixed drink but none of the alcohol and there's quite a few options here- expanded even from the menu pictured on Google. There's a really good Yuzu based drink that I also keep getting that is my favorite.
The atmosphere is higher end but not pretentious, and cozy while still being open.

I look forward to bringing more of my friends here.

Parking: Fair amount of parking but it's in a strip mall with other restaurants so you're not always able to find a spot immediately. There's usually more parking in the back“

“Food : Buffalo Chicken Pizza and onion rings. Onion rings were really good and pizza was alright.
Beer: October fest and Honey blonde. Honey blonde was better than October fest.
Great outdoor seating area and loved the vibe. Vick served us and her energy is amazing!! Helped us with recommendations and was fast! overall good experience!“

“The best Greek restaurant in greater Chicago area!“

“Wanted to give a shout out to the three gentlemen at the bar that helped answer my questions about cab service in the area. They were a lifesaver. I waled in a week ago and they were willing to talk to a stranger. Friendly place thanks again. Wish I had time to enjoy a beer with them. Please tell them thanks. From OHIO“

“Had a great mini reunion with 2 surgical unit NSUH! Everything was good to parking, food, ambience and karaoke!“

“We loved the dome experience! It was great service! The dome was decorated for St Patrick’s Day and it had blankets and pillows with heaters. It was awesome“

“Fast service. Excellent food. We had 2 grilled tacos that were prepared with the perfect spice and a different type of pink cabbage- extremely tasty! And the tortillas used were excellent too! Served with rice and beans. I ate much of the rice 😋, a small bit of beans and only had room for 1 taco! Tomorrow’s lunch! We’ve eaten here several times before. Allows delicious and decor is also very nice!“

“Highly recommended for first dates, or just going with a group of friends. Been here twice, and everyone there is super friendly, definitely a place to have a lot of laughs and make great memories. 10/10 🙌🏼“

“A couple blocks from Wrigley Field, Guthries is always a fun time! Gather a group, grab a table and a few games from the wall, and order a pizza to be delivered! Great for pre and post Cubs games or just for a typical Chicago neighborhoody night out. Typical dive bar drinks and beer on tap. It can get crowded, especially game or concert nights.“

“Delilah's is a haven for whiskey lovers! One of the coolest bars not only in Chicago but the world. Deepest whiskey bar I have ever seen. There are multiple bottles five and six releases deep in some cases and you can taste side by side. The owner and bartenders are so knowledgeable in each bottle selection they are talking about. Generous pours and reasonable prices. AND they make proper cocktails and drinks. Highly recommend.“

“I won't rate the food because it's only snacks. They do have menus from nearby restaurants though, which is really cool.

This is a wonderful cocktail bar. The bartenders are really good at what they do. I think Luke is usually working when I go there? He is really good at what he does and super fun to watch. Very precise and intentional with the way he makes drinks.

I always feel very welcome and relaxed here. It is sort of strange that it is in the base of an apartment complex. I think if I lived here I would be a bit weirded out by all of these strangers in the lobby of my building.

It's nice to get drinks and then go wherever in the lobby, at the bar, or out in the back patio area of the building.

Trivia on Wednesdays is always fun as well.“

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

“This place has a very dedicated, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. The signature cocktails are designed beautifully. I love watching childhood favorites (the bartender played Are you Afraid of the Dark) on tube TVs while sipping my favorite adult beverages.“

“Amazing establishment. Love the decor and it feels so cozy. Nice neighborhood spot to enjoy a glass of wine. Owner is super knowledgeable and friendly. He helped me pick out a perfect bottle to share with my friend who isn’t always easy to please.“

“This is a review for Nightshade. To get there, you go to the back of Moonflower then through the unmarked black door to the right and downstairs. There are two rooms - one for music/ dancing and the other with small tables for drinks. The night I went the music room wasn’t open (guess you have to know when it’s club night). A bit bare bones in terms of furniture/ atmosphere. But, the drinks were EXCELLENT. Not a huge selection but the table I was with ordered about four different drinks from the specialty menu and they were all better than I was expecting.

Though the downstairs is designed for drinking I saw people eating from the menu upstairs so apparently you can do that.“

“la mejor comida mexicana y hondureña.“

“Stopped by here for a quick drink while waiting for our table at the overpriced fancy restaurant down the street. Drinks here were on point, great service, great vibe. The fancy place down the street ended up sucking, we should have just stayed here and had tamales and beer.“

“It’s the orbit room with “hipster”. Still a great jaunt. Anyone who makes a whiskey sour with egg white is good in my book.“

“My first time here (new to Chicago) saw High on Fire and Negative Approach. Sounded great! Great staff, great room for music, hope to return many many more times!“

“Wonderful place and wonderful. Staff!! Wowwa the beer menu is ahhh Mazing!!“

“They super Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!“

“Dance vibes and good food.. recommend the fish tacos“

“The best all around ! Staff, food, drinks!“

“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.“

“The penultimate neighborhood bar with plenty of characters, shenanigans, and fun! It's our "Just One More" place. Bikers, Rock Stars, and Divas will feel right at home. Live music most weekends, outdoors in the summer in a large parking lot. Everybody who knows, goes there. John & Sparklyn are good people!“

“We hosted my husband’s 50th birthday last weekend there and I can’t say enough good things!!! From start to finish an incredible experience and so much fun! I plan events for a living and working with Ma O’Briens was the easiest, most helpful and amazing experience.“

“We went to Wang's on a Saturday night after dining nearby and it was a great surprise. We didn't have Wang's on the list of must visit bars in town, but it sure is now! The bar has a very nice, dark ambiance and the service was excellent. The best part of the experience were the drinks. The Chiang Mai Dragon was by far my favorite, but I also recommend the Ginseng Margarita. I'll definitely be back to Wang's!“

“It’s good to know that the SpongeBob ice cream bars are now back. This is dope. Whats not dope is the gumball eyeballs are no longer and you can’t be an Oompa Loompa like me - you’ll a need step stool to restock the TP for your Bungholio! … or bring that friendly face at the bar to bring into the restroom to help you out with the TP. Kind of awkward I must say but hey gotta do what you gotta do. Also Beavis would NOT approve. Also the North Shore mom who complained about King Gizzard playing and it being too loud and then asked if her kid can have a job… sorry babe but he’s not getting a job! Don’t dish the Gizz!!! Also don’t ask for a side pull when in front of me, it takes too long for me to wait for you to get a beer. Drink the beer the way God wanted you to. Also leave your kids at home unless they know how to clean. If you have time to lean, your kids have the time to clean. I’m sorry but if you’re bringing your kiddos to a bar, make them work so they don’t up like me or you or those guys over there who’s been here for 6 hours trying to get the #1 spot on the “closest alcoholic anonymous” board. kids from the north shore can clean and bust tables and clean windows too. Also not sure on the return policy at this place. I tried to return the cans after I drunk them for a full refund but they were on to my game even after drawing a mustache on my face and came in with an accent. Next time I’ll try a Halloween outfit. Also It’s the breweries fault for making good beer. Also I would highly suggest more fire drinks! Fire is cool. Thank you.“

“Olive Black is a great casual neighborhood cocktail lounge. Not pretentious but serves up a menu featuring six (+?) pages of martinis and speciality cocktails, alongside a good local beer selection. They also have tvs (for sports games), a jukebox, board games and food, but the best part is the staff! The owners are super friendly and accommodating.“

“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.“

“So much fun, love replay“

“always a great time nice beer garden“

“A fun, energetic, atmosphere, and wonderful staff! Always a party!“

“Been here a few times for shows and it a pretty quaint little venue! First show was Melanie Martinez and AJR, then Whethan, saw Krewella, and now got to see JORDY all at Lincoln Hall. Super intimate venue because there's no barricade so you can get up close and personal with the artists/bands.“

“A pleasant neighborhood brewery, bar, and restaurant. We generally order burgers or fish and chips, and enjoy a local beer with our meal. We ordered soft pretzels for our ap, which came with two amazingly good dpping sauces - yum!
Great casual spot.“

“Came into town just to watch Euros at this bar. Brian and the crew were outstanding bartenders!“

“Everything was great, with the cheese/foie gras plate and octopus as the standouts. Will definitely be back! We got in line around 5:15 and were one of the first parties in line, which meant we got to sit at the counter and watch the cooking (very cool). If you don't feel strongly about that, probably no need to line up super early.“

“Best bar in the city. Friendly. Good beer.“

“Awesome retro bowling ally with awesome drinks and great staff.“

“Amy was so sweet :) Good vibes here.“

“A family friend took me here with my brother and I am so happy she did! This piano bar has awesome atmosphere and the musicians are so talented, it seems like they can play most songs on the spot. People can write a song request on a piece of paper and hand it to the musicians playing piano with a tip and they will play it! I highly recommend, this place has awesome energy!“

“get a huckleberry vodka soda!“

“Kirkwood = hidden gem! Rustic vibes, great staff, solid drinks, and live music/trivia goodness. New fav in Logan Square!“

“I just walked out of the door and am so glad that God sent us there. We tried 3 places prior to walking in CheSa’s doors which was a definite blessing. We had the catfish skillet, bourbon peach cobbler franchise toast, chicken sausage and scrabbles eggs w/cheese washed down with a breakfast martini. Absolutely delicious and with the owner/chef being very warm w/great hospitality. We’re definitely going back.“

“Great food and service.“

“Great Food and Friendly Service“

“One of the best places I've eaten from in a good while. The servers were very attentive. Management came out to check on us, which always nice to see. It was our first time here and it seemed very family friendly. There is outside seating! The food was pretty good. I was there on a double date and everyone enjoyed themselves. We will definitely be back.

Vegetarian options: They serve a fresh fruit option.“

“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.“
