46 Best Wine Bars near Kenilworth

“The perfect trifecta of amazing food, uncompromising service, and great value for an upscale and intimate restaurant in the North Shore area (Kenilworth, IL). Ask for Chick Evans and Rob when you arrive. Enjoy!“

“Amazing all around!!! The food was delicious and service was great. The pita was incredible and the hummus was truly authentic. We had the schnitzel which was super crunchy and the sauce on the side was very flavorful. The patio in the back is so nice and spacious and the word burning oven inside really sets the vibe. The drinks were also unique and delicious. You have to go!!“

“We had the best time here for an early dinner before heading downtown for a show. Highlights of the meal are the French Onion Toast and Ricotta Gnocci. They also have a mocktail menu which had some delicious drinks on it. Will definitely be back soon!“

“Im embarrassed it took us a couple of years to finally dine here but I'm SO grateful we FINALLY arrived and assure you we will be back again soon. Fun cocktail menu, great wine list and an impeccably delivered menu and great service! Thank you for the perfect date night!“

“I had a great time wine tasting here! We sat out on their patio, which was secluded and quiet. The perfect armosphere for a catch up with friends or a date night. The food is delicious too. My favorite was the shrimp ceviche. On Wednesdays, they do happy hour specials on tasting flights! I really enjoyed the Mediterranean white flight. Their broader wine list is also incredibly diverse, representing many regions and flavors. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Apero is a gem! I’m so glad I stopped by to grab a glass of wine. Robert and Daniela made this an unforgettable experience and I can’t wait sit to go back. Ps. The orange wine selection is impeccable and don’t shy away from trying the vermouth.“

“Our favorite spot in Park Ridge. Excellent food and wines. Very friendly to our kids during brunch and early dinners. Strongly recommend the wine club. Monthly selections have all been outstanding.“

“We always look forward to takeout (during COVID) and look forward to seeing you in person. Pizza is always fantastic!!! Always!“

“Great Bavarian liverwurst sausage and hunters sausage. First time there this past weekend and will back for sure when I get back to Chicago. Rooftop beer 🍺 and sausage was awesome too!!“

“This is a fantastic place to enjoy great food at reasonable prices. The menu offers delicious options, the drinks are just as enjoyable, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot for any occasion. The restaurant is also family and dog friendly, which makes it even more inviting.

The customer service was outstanding. Our waitress was amazing—friendly, funny, and attentive throughout the entire meal, making the experience even more enjoyable. The beautiful interior adds to the overall charm, creating a comfortable place to relax and dine. Between the excellent food, great drinks, warm hospitality, and inviting atmosphere, this is a place I would definitely recommend.“

“LOVED the drinks and our Entrée was Spectacular can't wait to go back“

“Love this spot! Went for a wine tasting and had a cheese board and flatbread and it made for a perfect date night! The wines were really nice and we ended up taking two bottles home. Service is so friendly and everyone is so kind! Makes for a nice night out for sure!“

“We had a delicious breakfast and the service was Excellent. Looking forward to coming back for lunch and mock tails.“

“Nice wine and cheese pairings“

“Tonight, the Wife and I asked for a table of 4, saw multiple tables open. Host replied with "Looks like we're not going to have table free for the rest of the night." Our 2 friends walked in about 5 minutes after us for a table, Host proceeds to not automatically deny them and asks the servers. Servers apparently had a problem with having another table until another server came worked it out. Finally, Wife and I walk back in to join our friends and overhear 2 servers discussing with the host about not seating anyone after 9pm (they close at midnight btw) Great to know that you wanting to close early is more important than actually doing your jobs and making easy money (we only got drinks and 2 apps) Pathetic, will not come back. Sayonara!“

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

“Wonderful local wine/beer shop. Surprising variety of great beer and wine. The owner is extremely helpful in selecting bottles. Highly recommend!“

“GReat location in Roscoe village, nice wine list with full bar, friendly staff and great food as well“

“Very nice place . Owners are really good people , very warm and friendly . A large selection of drinks and great hang out place . Love it ! Highly recommend!!“

“Last week I hosted a private party for 20 people. We had drinks, dinner, dessert and it was all delicious! The service was outstanding and Eileen went out of her way to ensure the event was beautifully planned. It was everything I could have asked for. Thank you!“

“Excellent experience! Service was great, from the hostess seating us to our waitress, Alex, being very attentive and accommodating with gluten free options. Food was EXCELLENT. Very tasty and perfectly cooked. You won’t be disappointed.

I don’t do valet often, but seemed a little weird that they only hold the door open for the driver, not the lady. Little awkward having them hold the door open for me, while I walked her around to the passenger side to open, then back to my door where the valet was waiting. Is this normal?? They also did not open for her when we arrived. Maybe for efficiency since it gets backed up there often?“

“Lush is more than a wine store and eatery. It's a unique and rewarding adventure about fine wine and gourmet food located in Roscoe village north of Chicago. The ambience is welcomimg while the service is both delightful and impeccable. The burrata with heirloom tomatoes paired with white wine was excellent. The house made raspberry cheese cake was superb. And the French apple cider was the best cider I ever had.“

“Best Pizza in Evanston. The dough, the unique ingredients. I. Am.Hooked👌“

“Loved it! The food was great and the service friendly. A great menu and everything we had was delicious. We sat outside, which was really nice. The inside is pretty small but with a cool bar and atmosphere. The only drawback was that the inside was very loud on a Saturday night, so outside was better for us. Would return!“

“I ordered the Veal Barolo and it was excellent. Another member in our party ordered the Veal Carlos, and that too was excellent. The overall service was outstanding. One member of our party had special needs. Specifically, this person required a walker to get around. The service that the retaurant staff rendered to this member of our party was truly extraordinary.“

“Great atmosphere and food!“

“j'ai passé le meilleur moment ici. La nourriture était si bonne. J'y suis allé avec mes filles après le travail. Maintenant je vais dans ce café presque tous les jours ❤️“

“My palette’s lack of sophistication prevents me from doing justice reviewing the menu items I enjoyed, but my belly is satisfied , and there were no leftovers; however, no matter the exquisite culinary notes I, likely, missed that a more refined pallet might’ve identified, there’s no way there was anything on a plate in the Chicago land area this evening that matched the atmosphere, service, and proud history shared by the staff and current owner, a descendant of the original owners who established the restaurant 123 years ago. A truly delightful experience that I intend to repeat as often as I’m able!“

“Very nice people, very knowledgeable of wine, they also serve wine by the glass and have tastings on Saturdays, we can’t wait to go back“

“An absolute gem in Rogers Park run by some of the loveliest humans I know. The Thursday night tastings are the highlight of my week.“

“Pretty decent vibes, they have a small library section for books to take one and leave one.. Spoke to the employee and she said I can drop as many books I want (as I had box full). Also had boxes of games :)
Ordered a the banana bread latte but haven't tried of anything else. The latte was alright.“

“This is one of my husband’s and my favorite place! We were a big fan of Creperie St. Germaine so we are so happy that they haven’t completely changed the delicious menu and the interior is the same cozy place we love! And the crepes are to die for! This place is freaking AWESOME!!!“

“In a town known for great steak restaurants, EJs, is my favorite. Their steaks and seafood are outstanding, their sides and desserts wonderful, and their wine list never disappoints. Throw in a cozy atmosphere with wood paneling and the smell of the fireplace. The best part is the service. From the moment you arrive until you get back in your vehicle their service is unmatched with a staff of professionals who have been there for years. I highly recommend EJs and look forward to our next visit!“

“Everything is delicious, and the servers so nice. I love this place“

“This cozy neighborhood gem was outstanding on a cold Saturday night. The hospitable and warm wait staff made it feel like we were family. Small booths and tables. Intimate. Got very noisy as it filled up midway into our meal. Tuna tapas and scallop dish simply amazing. Spanish flan desert was firm with small strawberries a nice addition. Plus we got a 15 percent discount for coming out on a super cold evening.“

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

“We dined at Froggy’s on Valentine’s Day, and had a wonderful time! This was our first time ever here, even though Froggys has been here for over 40 years! The interior is warm and inviting and we were welcomed in and seated promptly. Our server Peter was terrific all night, personable, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was truly a delight! We had Beef Wellington and Chicken Cordon Blue. Both were delicious and our overall experience was really great. We highly recommend this place and we will be back!“

“We have visited Cooper Hawks in Morton Grove several times, sometimes for drinks and appetizers and sometimes for dinner and drinks, we have never had a bad experience. Great food and drinks, but we have been able to experience the same waitress Lori P. She is the best great personality food and drinks fast…… she is totally awesome. Thank you Lori for making our experience at Morton Grove Cooper Hawks great! See you next week.“

“How lucky are we to have Evanston Pour?

I always pop in when I’m up here and I’m really glad I remembered I could come here as I was leaving an early am beach event.
This spinach feta quiche is the stuff of perfection.
Wait the 12 mins to have it heated up for you and TAKE YOUR TIME to enjoy it.
I also love that they knew what I was referring to when I said I wanted the coffee “on tap” for my mug…

Good stuff and great folks 💛“

“This is a fantastic new spot located at the Wilmette Public Golf Course ⛳️✨ The place has been completely renovated and looks fresh and modern, which really adds to the overall vibe 😍 The menu is thoughtfully put together by an experienced manager named John, and you can tell there’s a lot of care behind it 👍 The food is great, and they also offer an impressive selection of top-shelf spirits 🍸

It’s exciting that the menu is still evolving, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how it develops over the summer ☀️ They’re planning an open-wall concept that will blend the indoor and outdoor spaces, along with a spacious patio where you can relax and enjoy drinks with friends 🍹 Definitely a place worth checking out!“

“Fantastic addition to Northbrook…dine in or carry out, food is consistently delicious!“

“Came here December 2024 for a family event/ food was delicious- highly recommend salmon, broccolini, and mac-n-cheese. Carrot cake with warm icing for dessert was sooo delicious. Excellent staff and ambience.“

“Great pizza! Make sure to check out the salads and the homemade gnocchi“

“Best 🍔 !Biggest garden !Amazing place!“

“Ruth's Chris does not disappoint! Service is friendly and impeccable. My filet came out exactly as ordered and extra butter of course. Garlic mashed potatoes are shareable. All descriptions are true to their word. From cocktails,apps, salads, soup, steaks, lobster,shrimp and desserts, it is truly enjoyable and delicious. As usual, we will be back again!“
