34 Best Bar & Grill near Lakemoor

“If you want to sit by the water and enjoy a nice night out and great snack food (Italian Beef bites) and burgers, I recommend The Longshot. Go see Lisa on Friday night and tell her Krista and Lori sent you!“

“We decided to try this place for the first time and it turned out to be an amazing choice. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Every dish came out fresh and steaming, straight from the kitchen, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell they care about serving quality meals. It was a fantastic visit and we are already looking forward to coming back again.“

“We pulled up in our boat and the staff helped us to tie up our boat.
They sat us down right away.
The wait staff was very friendly.
The Pulled Pork sandwich and the Turkey Wrap along with the Bang Bang Shrimp were delicious. Great food and Great Service 👍 👌 😀“

“Great little place to hang out and grab a burger and chat with local folks“

“An absolute hidden gem. Great selection and atmosphere, but most of all, the people there are fantastic. The owner, Dave, is one of the nicest humans you will ever meet. It is the kind of place that makes you feel like a regular the first time you visit. Not in some corporate scripted way, just genuinely friendly but never overbearing.“

“Who doesn’t love an Irish pub? This is our favorite local place! Great food and the best Friday fish fry in northeastern Illinois. Best Brandy Old Fashioned I’ve ever had.“

“Stop! If you miss it, turn around! You’ll go, “Really? Golf balls and good food?” Yep, leave the clubs home - too cold for that - and don’t whiz by without stopping for a bite. There’s a reason so many cars are parked in the lot. The locals get it. Be a local!“

“disappointed in their lack of willingness to stand by their supposed convictions of supplying many forms of entertainment, then buckling under closed minded social pressure.“

“We went out for the Friday fish fry.
The fish was great, large lightly breaded.
The fish was not heavily seasoned but it went well with the tartar sauce.
There wasn't much fries and because they were under the fish the fries got soggy.“

“Dead End is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Sherry/Wilbur is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing pizza. Must come back. 10/10.“

“Best mozzarella sticks ever long cheese pull“

“I was there for a fundraiser last night. The food was really good, especially your salsa! Our server was attentive and kept track of our large group really well. We hadn't been there for a long time but will definitely be back again! Thank you so much.“

“Tiny little Bar and grill. I've been going there for 20 years then one of the customers I have never seen before give me a hard time. It was the small disagreement over condo assessments then the owner decided to bar me. The wonderful bartenders he had let go and the place totally lost its appeal. The owner wouldn't even let me go in to get food to go. Ridiculous. But they did me a huge favor since it went downhill it's not even worth going in there anymore.“

“Went here for the first time a few weeks ago the staff and owner were super friendly and welcoming. I decided to go back to eat a few days later with my family all the food was great and we are quite picky!! This will definitely be one of our new go tos whether it be for lunch/dinner or just a quick beer. Very happy we tried it out!

Kid-friendliness: Was nice to be able to bring my kids in on a Sunday for lunch and not feel like we were out of place. Kids were happy with the food as well !“

“Great vibes and great food“

“Great time … great food…. Excellent staff !!! Good job guys !!!“

“Great little place to stop in for a drink or evening bar food. It's our neighborhood dive bar, and we love it. The owner is easy to talk to and has some great jokes. We love the "oldman" bar feel and like it just the way that it is, has pool table, darts and gaming.“

“Always some good music on Friday nights. Friendly staff and owner. They remember what you drink.“

“Did some stuff this weekend. This place? Hell yea.“

“Awesome place to eat and drink. Outside tables on the sand overlooking the water. Great service by Kylie.“

“my bf ordered the Ruben and I ordered the corned beef and cabbage dinner and omg 😲 it was so good! the portions are huge! the price is even better!“

“The atmosphere is great, the food is amazing will be back for sure. I met the owner super cool guy and the bartender remembered my name! They are starting to have more music events which I'm very excited about.“

“love this place. great service and drinks. the food is well priced and delicious“

“Half price pizza & $8 pitchers $4 Bloody/Screwdriver on Sunday. Great place with great specials, I like “The Italian” specialty pizza with sausage/Italian beef/Giardiniera (add onion) it’s like $10-$11 for a Large 16” on Sunday 👌“

“Great place to hang out and vibe food is AMAZING drinks are BOMB 💣“

“Good food and the outside seating was good for a evening dinner. We highly recommend The Grove Pub and Grill.“

“Really great food. A staple here in Johnsburg.“

“had a great time at Karaoke the other night the dj was so nice and takes song recommendations it was awesome I definitely will be coming again !!!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience at Docks Bar & Grill. The service was excellent, the food was good, and everything came out fast. We also really enjoyed the conversations with the bartenders — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely engaging. I mentioned that I appreciated the TVs being on the same channel, because when multiple screens are on different channels, the flickering lights can be overwhelming for me. I’m disabled and live with Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) and CPTSD, along with chronic migraines. The sunglasses I wear help reduce light sensitivity from LEDs and neon lighting, and the staff was kind, open, and understanding when I explained this. It meant a lot to be treated with respect and curiosity rather than judgment. The bartender was friendly, approachable, and handled the conversation with warmth and professionalism. Great atmosphere, great people, and a place that makes you feel welcome. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Benjamin Parada and I ate dinner at Wings Etc. tonight! We pulled up to the building and called the number listed clearly on the signs, with an employee's assistance our "take out" order was placed! Ben and I talked in the car just as we would have when we were inside the restaurant. However, sitting in the car and wearing a mask felt so much safer than being in the restaurant! Our food was out to our car very quickly. Wonderful delicious and amazing are words to describe the good wings! Date nights look so different with Covid but this was a super safe and fun date night!“

“Always a great experience. Glad to see JoLyn (sp?) & Kim working together recently. They're the best team! Excellent bands w/great speakers. Hear it loud nearby or sit further away/upstairs for background tunes.
Arrive early on weekends for best parking.
Grateful for additional access trailers; women's bathroom faucet needs immediate updating for better function & to lessen slippery floor as water sprays out, instead of down (& has for years). :/“

“The food was good, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.“

“We have been here twice in the last month and I can't believe I'm just discovering what a great place this is. The food we've had has all been delicious. The staff has been very friendly as well. Prices are average. Would recommend for sure.“
