45 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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“My fav wine bar in Chicago. I love the wine selection here and the easy/smart way to navigate through the selection of the week. The staff is so so friendly. Roberto -the owner- and Aymi, Daniela, Charles… so good to talk about wine with them. The atmosphere is fantastic, exactly as I expect a wine bar must be: pure, direct, cozy, minimalist. Food selection could be wider but whatever they offer is outstanding. And the focaccia is soft as a cloud. Meraviglioso“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“The service was the best I've had at a restaurant. We came for a birthday and the waitress was amazing.

The food was delicious. A lil pricey, but they do have happy hour drink specials and we loved everything we ate. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The faccacio bread appetizer was amazing. I will definitely come back.“

“Wine style is a great place. You can have romantic evening or have a couple glasses or a whole bottle with friends. Everyone there is very friendly and funny. We love to play bingo there and come for fun wine tasting every week. Cheers to many more wonderful evenings there“

“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!“

“Nice wine and cheese pairings“

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

“We just moved the neighborhood and we have many choices for fun and food. Port And Park is Incredible the food is delicious. The service is genuinely extraordinary.. Then the ambience is warm and welcoming. Port And Park is our go to place!“

“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!“

“Four of us went Carlos and Carlos to celebrate three August birthdays. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and courteous. You need to be prepared to read an extensive menu with specials of Italian dishes including pasta, veal, fish and meat to meet range of tastes. Also, available were soups, salads, desserts and appetizers with a decent wine list. Definitely worth a return visit.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“First visit at Jackman & Co. and we will be back! The atmosphere and vibes of this place were great for a Friday night date night. Started with a couple Peachy Heat Margs at their iconic bar...would highly recommend arriving early to sit and enjoy the people and views here.

Dined outside on their dimly lit patio and started with the Lobster & Shrimp Ceviche which was fresh and delicious. Although there were a lot of other higher end dinner choices, I went with the Beer Battered Fish & Chips based on reviews. Easily the best fish & chips I've had, accompanied by an amazing dill dipping sauce.

The service from the host, bartender and ultimately our server was very accommodating and friendly. Check this place out!“

“We ordered Provoleta for appetizer, and for entrees got Lomo and Lomito sandwich (I put some of the provoleta on it and it was far better than the ones we got in Buenos Ares), with side of the best sweet potato fries I've ever had (don't know what they cooked them in, but seriously delish!)“

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

“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“

“Great spot for coworking, read a book, or playing board games. Their lattes are wonderful and love the baristas. Make your beverages with so much attention and love. The latte art is amazing too !!

I got their pumpkin spice latte. It was different from other places as it is not just made with the pumpkin spice “spices” but also with pumpkin puree. And I loved that they are intentional about their food and beverages.

Highly recommend !!“

“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 ❤️“

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Best 🍔 !Biggest garden !Amazing place!“

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

“Ask for Carl for your server!!! Extremely educated on everything on the wine menu and both of his food recommendations were absolutely phenomenal!!! Very friendly and welcoming!!! We will definitely be back to see Carl soon!“

“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 💛“

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

“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!“

“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“

“I hadn’t been to Ruth’s Chris since they closed the downtown Chicago location, so I was excited to make my way back! We made a reservation for this location, and the 3 for $60 deal was definitely calling our name. 👀

Parking was easy with plenty of spots available, and we were greeted as soon as we walked in. Our server, Raymell, was the best! Polite, attentive, and provided great customer service from start to finish.

Everything we ordered was delicious, from the bread and stuffed mushrooms to the stuffed chicken. We also had the creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, and of course, the classic cheesecake to finish things off. Everything hit the spot!

I love when an oldie but goodie can still deliver. The atmosphere was mellow and relaxed, with the option to catch the games at the bar. A nice way to enjoy a familiar favorite without the downtown hustle.“
