50 Best Cocktail Bars near Glenview

“We had an excellent experience at Jackman & Co. The food was excellent, especially the cinnamon buns and the hash browns. I think those were the best hash browns I've ever tasted! And, to make it even better, while our food took longer than expected to arrive, the wonderful staff comp'd part of our check. They went above and beyond, even though we didn't complain to them about the wait. You can tell they have high standards for their restaurant. They've won my loyalty! Highly recommend.“

“Please see our note to management:

To whom it may concern -

We live half a block away from your beautiful new restaurant and just wrapped up our first meal there. The food, the ambiance, and the service were impeccable. However, we would be remiss if we did not acknowledge that our server made our entire night the most memorable dining experience we have ever had.

Lindsay E was prompt, knowledgeable, and, more importantly, extraordinarily personable. We were astounded at her aptitude for dealing with food allergies seamlessly, her timeliness to service and to our endless asks and needs, and her overall hospitality.

Thank you all for being so welcoming and for the incredible evening we had with you.

If you haven’t already considered, we feel Lindsay has a high potential in you restaurant group and we take a recommendation like that quite seriously.

We cannot wait for all of our future meals at your amazing establishment. Cheers to a long future for Foxtail Glenview House.

Most sincerely,
Colleen & Meghan Coleman“

“Honestly, one of our favorite Mexican restaurants! Always delicious food, great drinks, and outstanding customer service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️A perfect pre-Valentine’s dinner every time!“

“Great happy hour daily 5-6pm The burgers are so good !! Always fun“

“It’s the best. Great Bartenders and excellent cocktails“

“Been here several times, always a blast and great drinks. Last visit was weird. Kinda stuffy. Bartender was uninterested and ok with letting customers wait along time before taking order. I hope things are not changing.“

“Great vibe, great staff, well made and designed cocktails 🍸“

“The concept for the menu is a unique trip along the Pan-American highway with stops at various Latin countries. Each dish and drink is thoughtful in its ingredients and presentation. The jicama salad was refreshing, but not at all plain. The pastel de choclo was a wonderful surprise of a warm dish. The frozen el arenal was seriously dangerous in how delicious it was, I can’t recommend it enough. The atmosphere was beautiful and the music was perfect. We are so thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood and can’t wait to see what they do in the future!“

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs. Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp via her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Always amazing cocktails! We are big fans.“

“I love the diversity of the people who come here. Just an amazing atmosphere of unique individuals that bring so much to the place whenever I'm here. And some of the best bartenders in the city!“

“Stopped in for the evening and this spot is such a vibe. Got their Manhattan and an order of the chicken tenders and both were so good. The cocktail was perfectly balanced smooth and strong just how I like it. Played a quick game of pool and hung out such a chill welcoming space. Everyone was so friendly and made us feel right at home. Great drink selection cool crowd and the staff actually knows their stuff. Already planning to come back for trivia night.“

“Excellent service and attention from the workers there. They knew the menu well and gave great recommendations. Food was delicious and it was Iike eating at my mommas house. The drinks were amazing and love the decor. It was like being in Puerto Rico. Will visit again“

“I've already recommended Cubaneo! What a delightful and yummy experience. Great food, friendly and accommodating service (I have some allergies/restrictions which they listened to and provided for). The veggie paella was amazing & probably enough for 2. Warm, bright decor. Excellent coffee - try the Dulce de Leche latte with homemade dulce de leche!“

“On the evening of July 5 my wife and I tried Avaspi on Belmont Avenue in Lakeview for the first time. It will not be the last! I love lamb and am quite particular as to how is it prepared. The “lamb delight” menu item was the best lamb I have ever had in a restaurant: tender, succulent, and prepared to perfection. The side salad accompanying it was not your ordinary side salad! My wife and I both enjoyed the Mixed Meze appetizer plate. Each of the five items was quite good but the muhammara was to die for. We ended our meal with tea, baklava and kubralice. The décor and ambience were refreshing and relaxing, and the service was outstanding. The pricing was very reasonable. Please give it a try. We do not think you will be disappointed.“

“I love this place! We were there on 5/29/22 and Wes was wonderful as well as the drinks!“

“excellent food - we both the spring rolls and the egg rolls. the crab fried rice and vegetable salad with rice noodles were also really tasty.“

“You can’t skip the charred octopus to start! It’s a perfect appetizer to share with an incredible roasted Calabrian chili sauce. My absolute favorite dish is the pennette cardinale! I can’t go to Sapori without ordering. The creamy tomato sauce pairs perfectly with the sun-dried tomatoes. I’m drooling just thinking about it! Lastly, you have to finish your dinner with the bread pudding. The warm pudding with the cold ice cream is perfection in every bite. 10/10 always!“

“Simply fantastic with super friendly staff“

“Love this place, sometimes they super busy especially on the weekends. On the weekdays its a pretty chill and stylish spot. The cocktails are delicious and the staff are all so kind. My friends and I really like their carrot dip thing haha, its tasty! In the morning they have the Allez cafe pop up. I recommend the cream top if you're trying out their cafe pop up (8a - 2p).“

“This is for delivery. Pizza is all about what one prefers and or grew up on. We prefer New Haven.
This is the best we have found on the North Shore. Thin crust cooked perfectly. The food traveled well (Door Dash). A generous amount of toppings, very good sauce. Will have again.“

“Went for trivia night. Had fun with that as a group & the wings…. They’re not lying when they say it’s falling off the bone. So tender. Very very good wings!! Staff was super friendly and attentive as well!!“

“Pretty space, intimate and friendly staff.“

“This bar is awsome! But when Danny works I am made to feel so uncomfortable.

Every other member of the staff has made me feel like a valued member of our community and I think that’s what this establishment stands for. However , when Danny works, I feel objectified, disrespected, and over all disappointed with my stay.
I do not think this person speaks for the volumes of wonderful experience at Nighthawk. Others should definitely continue to support Nighthawk if you’re about supporting queer friendly / local communities and small businesses. I firmly, as a patron for a decade, do not feel this employee represents what this establishment stands for.

I am confident in the authority of establishment to remedy the situation to optimize experiences for all.“

“Went there while back home visiting family and ABSOLUTELY LOOOOVVEEDD the food, atmosphere and service!“

“Love the low key environment and drinks was 🔥🔥“

“Minor hiccup with the night manager . Was told to leave a “ bad review “ per manager and that she did not care if i left a bad review .

Stopped by following day to speak with Wally ( general manager ) and Erik ( owner ) . Resolved .
This place has been and will remain a favorite .“

“I stopped by on a recent Saturday evening and had a Bee's Knees cocktail and a soft-pretzel with mustard. Both were delicious. The pretzel was freshly baked, not some microwaved deal and I enjoyed my beverage and snack at a sidewalk table to enjoy the Summer night. The two folks working that night were very friendIy as well. I really hope this place finds a growing and loyal clientele because it's a great spot to have in downtown Skokie. Pop by and give them a shot; i don't think you'll be disappointed.“

“White Sox Bar!!!!!!!!😂!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! N n n n n n“

“Fantastic experience! Went to get drinks with a friend and was greeted by very nice hosts! Crispy cauliflower was delicious and drinks were amazing! The staff was attentive and always filled our waters and checked in on us! Our bartender Zane was amazing! Definitely will go back again!“

“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.“

“Favorite bar in Avondale!!“

“Food was surprisingly good. Hummus is dusted with tajin or something like that, so it has a little kick and lots of toasted chickpeas which is yummy. The buffalo chicken sliders are seriously outstanding. Service was friendly but a little bit absent at times. Atmosphere is lively. We were there for music bingo on Wednesday night and will definitely be back. It gets loud and hard to hear when it's full.“

“Great food and service. Tuesdays kids night is wonderful other than that great fine dining spot. Although they did pare down the menu which I have not tried but am a little bummed about“

“Honestly I love the red neon aesthetic, I only wish the white light from the lobby didn't bleed in as much. I will note, this place is small, like you're not gonna fit more than 20 people in here if you tried, more often than not you'll only find 4-5 people in here, but that's a vibe honestly too.

One thing I need to note is the food, omg how is the food here so good? It's ordered from across the street and some guy brings it over in a bag and it's phenomenal and well priced.

Overall good place to bring a date or for a first time causal meeting“

“Delicious cocktails:) I will definitely go back!“

“I am indescribably grateful to have moonflower as my neighborhood bar. The sunday scaries deal is unbeatable (except for the tuesday grilled cheese deal), and includes the best caesar salad i have ever had. Everything i’ve consumed here has been delicious and everyone on staff is a joy, special shoutout to Marvin. If you’re not already here you should be!“

“Visiting from Boston where there are few options for Filipino food. Went with my partner for his birthday. We loved it! Had the Pancit with shrimp, Kansi soup, and Turon a la mode for his birthday cake. Was all delicious! And Christine, the host and owner, gave us great service. We highly recommend!“

“I like this place I just wish they could actually serve you a pint at a reasonable price. Literally every beer is a 12 oz pour. Cheap beer is cheap at least but I'd still just want a pint if they offered them. Vibe is great though and they have a small patio to the side of the building.“

“My friends and I hosted our friend’s 30th birthday party at Room 13 this past weekend. I couldn’t recommend this space enough! It was a great atmosphere; small enough to feel intimate but still spacious enough for everyone to spread out. The food was pretty decent and the drinks were delicious!
Joanna and Devon were SO helpful with setting up before the party and during the party. I can’t thank them and the rest of the staff enough for being so kind and helpful the entire night! Definitely looking forward to visiting again in the future!!“

“I was recommended to come here by a friend. Let me tell you something. This place is AWESOME!!! Great vibe. Very social. Customer service greeted me as soon as I walked in. The drinks are great. The servers and bartenders are also very social. I will definitely come back here.“

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

“Vincent is a wonderful place. Love the food and frequently live performers as well.“

“Excellent food and ambiance, The brick chicken is my favorite. Our friends who have lived throughout the country said the pork chop is the best they ever had“

“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“

“Best GF Pizza I have ever had and I have been GF for 15 years! Highly recommend!“

“So awesome! Great burgers great service“

“Great food and a local gem!!! We ate out on the patio and had a lovely meal“

“Amazing brunch! Try to find something better!“
