50 Best Bars near Highwood

“First time eating at Greenwood. The food was very good. We ordered calamari, which tasted unique in a good way, with the chopped marinated veggies. The beef filet was melt in your mouth tender. The only complaint is it was too salty. Brussels sprouts were also delicious.

The old fashion and manhattan were well made. It was a nice touch that the waiter asked us what bourbon or whiskey we wanted them made with.

We reserved in the dining room and the hostess could not find our reservation. We offered to show it to her, and she said no need , then put us at the very corner of the patio which was noisy, with uncomfortable chairs. For the first 15 min there was no one on the patio of in the restaurant. We couldn’t hear each other over the street traffic.

It was nice to be able to valet.“

“Great place. Very friendly staff.“

“They support live music entertainment!“

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

“Great dive bar for a late night drink. I haven’t had the food there so can’t rate it. There’s a small outdoor area that’s fun to hang out in. There’s a poop table and some dart board machines, and occasionally they have bands that play. Highly recommend for those looking for a drink after the rest of Highwood shuts down.“

“Nice beer garden, good bands but I wish the tables were upfront. It's cheaper to stand than buy seats but if you do, you can't see the stage. Weird setup but good place.“

“Great friendly, attentive staff. Best jumbo shrimp and calamari in the Northern Burbs. Same great quality service and food after all these years.“

“We hosted a party at the Patina Wine Bar in Mt Prospect last weekend and cannot say enough great things about this place. The staff is so wonderful! Everyone was so nice and easy to work with. The food was all so delicious and I could’ve stayed hours later trying all the wonderful wines they had.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

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

“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“

“Love outdoor options in the summer. Even with a crazy weekend of 56 Music Fix everything was on point with food and service. I loved seeing Chris step in and help anywhere and everywhere he needed to.“

“Great service! Fun atmosphere!!“

“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!“

“Happened upon this darling restaurant while in Chicago. Really good service and fantastic food. The coconut shrimp was probably the best I have ever had. And the elote was amazing.“

“The Cheeseburger on a Pretzel bun was very good and I would recommend it. I like their selection of German & Craft beers. I will be back at the Old Munich Tavern next Friday.“

“I was delighted to visit this restaurant! The atmosphere is very cozy, with pleasant decor and attentive staff. Every dish I tried was a real masterpiece, from appetizers to dessert. The assortment of kebabs was especially impressive: its taste, presentation and quality of products were at the highest level.

The service was at an excellent level - the waiters are polite, quickly respond to all requests and help with the choice of dishes.

This is a place where you want to spend time with friends or family. Will definitely be back again to try something new from their varied menu. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“An impromptu decision to stop by the Privilege bar this evening after a long work day turned out to be the best decision for a relaxing evening. The bar located at the rooftop of the Mondrian Itaewon in Seoul only opens from 6pm and we arrived half an hour earlier but the staff on duty was accommodating to allow us to take a seat and have a look around. Great panoramic view and we arrived just in time to catch the sunset. Love the vibe and music choice. Met with Tobbig Shin, F&B Assistant / Bar Manager who arrived from Singapore after a short stint doing a pop up in Mondrian Singapore. Highly recommend to try their signature cocktail “The P.T (Privilege Gin & Tonic)”, 5 stars for creativity and distinct taste, the pairing of Sonbi Gin and tonic. Jay, the Bartender served us and he graciously included a very detailed introduction - Sonbi Gin is distilled from 100% corn. Made with 10 botanicals including juniper, Schisandra berries, Chinese licorice, grains of paradise, cassia, green cardamom, coriander, lemon peel, orris root, and Angelica root. We had a second cocktail at their recommendation, Sun & Moon, made with Tokki Soju Black Label, Roasted Barley, Lemon, Pineapple and Crafted Moon Candy. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in Seoul!“

“My neighborhood meeting place. Great food, drinks, people, and atmosphere“

“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.“

“PS Pub truly exhibits everything a neighborhood bar is supposed to be good people unwinding enjoying different ales and spirits sharing conversation and having a laugh. up until now I've always shopped at the liquor store next door, I stopped in for my favorite blue moon with a wedge of Orange ice cold and on tap well I guess I found myself having a few and when I'm feeling that way I gaze upon the pretty bottles of spirits Tequila's rums whiskeys from all over the place and that little demon in my belly says "send it my way" so I settled on a peanut butter whiskey I love them if that's your thing you know they have malort which I've never actually tried I hear it's an acquired taste perhaps another time they've got a nice little popcorn machine that puts it out I like to snack a bit while I'm putting them down. friendly service really nice people from the neighborhood and a great place to unwind. so although it doesn't look like much from the outside you know judging that book by its cover thing stop in belly up and enjoy yourself“

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

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

“perfectly cooked steak- very creamy mac and cheese- sausage and peppers were perfection- service was top tier- Batman was was playing on the television behind the bar which was in perfect viewing from our table. Thanks for helping make a Daddy Daughter Day a huge success.“

Also they have the chill hour.
MWR really look up for the sailors Morale!“

“Love the vibes and food! Come here with your friends!!“

“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“

“I had looked at the menu before I came here so I knew I wanted The Cuban Sandwich when I arrived. It was fast and fresh. The meat was mouth watering! Was the best Cuban I ever had. I was not expecting this. Hoping for goodness.. but the best!! ???. The service was fast and friendly.
I give this place 5⭐️
Jerry (the pigeon) gives it 5.5⭐️“

“Christos D! Amazing! Hiloptes & Pastitsio was the best! Agatha.. send me some Hilopites to Iowa!“

“Great place to have Italian food 😊“

“Came in with a large group and the waitress was so nice/kind and patient. Would definitely come in again.“

“My sister and I both ordered the grilled salmon. She asked for her to be cooked through; I asked for mine to be prepred per chef's recommendation. Both of our dishes were prepared to our specifications. Mine was seared on the outside and tender moist on the inside. To add to that perfection, the sunchoke purée had an amazing mélange of flavors. I finished my meal with the Scorza Dolce--also packed with flavor.I have now had three meals that were so exquisitely flavorful that they will stick in my mind forever (previous two are from 1981 and 2005). My salmon at Mino's is now my #1 all-time favorite meals!“

“This was the perfect place for my daughter's baby shower. The room was lovely. The staff was excellent and the food was so good! We opted for the buffet. There was plenty of food. The ice cream sundae bar was a hit. All around? The perfect place. I cannot say enough good things.“

“BOOM! Dinner on fire! I love these dinners and so do my kids! We have not found one we don’t like and the quality is so much better than the mail order frozen meals. Flavor is solid and it’s not just “salt”, there is real depth to the meals. You also can heat them up and feed them to your kids when you pick them up from sports practice!!! Could not be happier this option came to carmel!!!“

“I found this place just by chance on Google and I’m glad I did. We went here for a late birthday celebration for me and the staff were so great! The food was awesome, the atmosphere was just right, I even had a random guest from outside come in and sing to me🤣 I’ll definitely be back!“

“The staff is so pleasant it’s worth the visit for that alone.“

“We had family style dinner. Food was amazing!! Service was great. Everyone took such pride in their jobs.“

“Great place for groups and our server, Zaire, was simply excellent! A large menu with large portions. We had a wide variety of dietary preferences in our group - basically a bunch of picky eaters in different ways - and everyone found something they were happy with. Good find for Navy folks and their families/friends!“

“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“

“Having first enjoyed the Deerpath Inn in 1984, I have been very impressed with the ongoing upgrades all the while maintaining it's original atmosphere and elegance. I have never been disappointed when dining in any of the rooms, especially the new English Room.“

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

“A hidden gem! Jimoto Sushi delivers unique, flavorful twists on classic rolls. The seaweed salad + cream cheese combo was surprisingly great (8/10), the Hamachi was a standout (9.2/10), and the spicy tuna roll with wasabi aioli might be the best I’ve ever had (9.3/10!). The IPA was also a pleasant surprise—fruity, bold, and smooth (7.6/10). Not every roll was perfect, but overall this spot nails creativity and taste. 8.6/10 overall—highly recommended if you’re in Chicago.“
