50 Best Bars near La Grange Park

“Posto 31 is arguably the best restaurant and ambiance in the La Grange/La Grange park area. The food is consistently high quality at a fair price point. Portion sizes are great and the drinks are delicious.“

“Everything about this gem is amazing. The food was delicious. They had a great selection of drinks and cocktails to choose from. If you catch Santana who is a bartender there, he’s super friendly and knowledgeable- as is the whole staff. Modelo on Tap is also just an awesome homage to have for the community.“

“This is a perfect neighborhood cocktail bar. It's definitely nicer and more polished than your average bar, yet still approachable and my favorite spot to meet up with friends. A huge shout out to the staff- consistently kind, and happy to make recommendations. To top it off, the food here is amazing, not just your regular bar-fare. I legit come here for a full dinner as well as a drink. If I had to eat only one food for the rest of my life I would choose their cheesy potatoes in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Pete's has become our favorite date spot. We came in February for Valentine's Day, and have been four times since, including this past weekend for my birthday. It is always fun, there are always new songs, and the performers are amazingly talented. Christian, Tony, Anthony and Jeremy (sorry for any misspellings) are very creative, charismatic and always put on a great show. Our favorite servers are Bree and Miriam. Can't wait to come back!“

“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!“

“At Jefferson Inn the lights are low,
A cozy dive where locals go.
The bar is small, the stories deep,
A place where laughter doesn’t sleep.

The jukebox hums, the neon glows,
A friendly face in every row.
No need for frills, no need to prep,
It feels like home—cheers, Imhotep.“

“We loved the place & the food. Wish I had felt like a drink😊Welcoming!“

“Bar and liquor store combo with a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a great selection of whiskey and beer.

We had our rehearsal dinner there, and it was exactly what we wanted. Very much our style. Saved us a bunch of money doing it there vs our other options. And the nice thing was that we were able to cater whatever food we wanted there.

We also got the spirits for our wedding through them. They had the best prices from everything we vetted, and we were able to return all the unopened bottles that were leftover after the event.

Thanks again to Dillon, the owner, who is a really nice guy!“

“From the Minnesota area. I work in Chicago area for last 2.5 years and just heard of this place. Glad I stopped by. The pie was ridiculously delicious and Mile the bartender was a way cool bartender! I love this place highly recommend!“

Everything I could have asked for! So easy to pick up and ready on time. Thank for you such a job well done!! Highly recommend!“

The drinks are really good too!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Best steak around by far. Nothing and nowhere near can compare in my opinion!“

“A nice burger and they have $4 old styles so it’s a win in my book.

Burger was good, had charred onions and aioli, they make all their sauces in house.

Only complaint is they don’t have ketchup, could be an easy fix, they also didn’t have French fries but served the burger with something else, some kind of green pepper that was tough whose name I’m forgegginv but that wasn’t very good. Fries and ketchup would go a long way but fantastic burger.“

“From the moment I walked in. Jack was there to help me get tables together for a party of 10. we had a wonderful time but even better was the service. the food was good. the drinks were great but the service was immaculate! Thanks to both our servers each named Haley. they did a fantastic job and we really appreciate it. we had a wonderful night and would come back again and again. thank you Jack and everyone there!“

“Went it for a loaded Bloody Mary. It was great. The people seemed really friendly (employees and customers)
The bathroom needs to be gutted. It’s terrible. I got water all over my self from something leaking. Looks like they have put 30 coats of paint over everything. It’s falling apart in there! The lighting in the bar was terrible. It literally feels like I’m in a dark basement. I would love to see this place get an over haul because it was great potential with the nice staff and great customers. Very very very welcoming!!“

“My Favorite neighborhood bar ❤️“

“Favorite bar in Avondale!!“

“I went to this bar to watch Blackhawks games saw them win Stanley Cups 2010 and 2013, drinks were very good, the owner was nice, the people were nice, always had good times.“

“Nice place, nice people. It's a bar but they have pizzas which I will request to be less well done next time as I like my food closer to the raw side.... They also have the polish zapiekanki which I did not try.... Some of the karaoke singers were really good. Looks like it's not just regulars here which surprised me.“

“12/3/25 night Brother from Texas and me. Fantastic Bar, best small town drinking place, “Great” Selections. Scott the Bartender is very personable/funny almost like someone I would hang out with. We group of 4 went Lunar Brewing couple of times 20 years ago, my brother and been talking about coming back. Today after leaving noisy,yuppy, pricy Yardhouse. We opted to Lunar, now I found new pub to spend our weekend chilly brewing after 30 years @ Brixies Saloon (Brookfield) which personally closed to me in 2017. I reside in Romeoville/ Plainfield since 2004. Nothing out there, Really“

“We randomly stopped in hungry after getting off a flight at OHare. WOW! The food was so good and beers perfectly cold. Might be the best wings I’ve ever had!! Also had a pulled pork sandwich which was scrumptious, chicken Alfredo pasta quickly devoured by our daughter. Curly fries and sweet potato fries also 🔥! Our server, Rachel was great, too!“

“Their food is great and is just an awesome spot with a lot of charm and friendly faces.“

“Super nice peeps- dog stuff so it’s a keeper. Just go“

“Had the Marley with chicken instead of a burger with provolone and the Korean bbq sauce and oh man…. So good; I can’t wait to try more things out! Pretty chill atmosphere too, looking forward to checking out the patio in the warmer weather. Highly recommended and I’ll be going back and back and back again.“

“It was my 1st time there. I was there on Saturday, August 12th 2023 from 9pm to 1am.Bartender was very nice, Tony the karaoke DJ was awesome, nice atmosphereand people. Reasonably priced drinks and food was good. I recommend the chicken strips

Parking: Parking lot is a little small, but if you get there early enough you'll have no trouble finding Parking“

“I’m new to the neighborhood and absolutely love the vibe of Boozehound. It’s exactly what you want - local, great menu, good prices and a dartboard in the back. Very unfortunately, however, there is a regular at this bar who told a member of my group that he hates gay people, and he hates black people (he used the N word to say this). We had both types of people in our group. I hesitate to reduce what would be a glowing review due to a customer, but I do not feel safe or interested in going somewhere where an attitude like this can be comfortably expressed.“
