15 Best Cocktail Bars near Lakemoor

“From the lounge to the store above it, it was amazing! The owner and his staff are super friendly, and knowledgeable about their products and are there to please. I visited there store to pick up a very hard to find bourbon and they had it, as well as a great selection of other rare spirits. During my visit, the owner's son showed me the lounge below the store and it was so unique and high end! I couldn't wait to come back with my boyfriend as I knew he'd love it. We went last night for a Bourbon tasting event and we couldn't have been more impressed! The staff was fabulous, the event was perfect and the charcuterie boards provided were delicious! I recommend anyone to attend an event or just stop to find a rare spirit and call ahead to spend time in the lounge, you won't be disappointed. We'll definitely be back. 5 stars isn't enough.“

“Ordered for my daughters end of year softball party. Everyone absolutely loved all of it!! We ordered chicken, barbacoa, and steak tacos with tamales. My husband, who LOVES tamales, asked why we didn't order more for just us and the girls and their siblings gobbled all of the tacos up. Every parent asked for contact information. Highly recommend. Hoping to order more in December!!“

“Jude's has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Crystal Lake. I love the variety of internationally inspired options and the size of the plates is perfect. I brought a very large group of ladies there for Black Friday, everyone has particular tastes and was able to find something they liked. They have a very trendy area in the back with a huge couch/bench for larger parties which was so comfortable. To top it off, the staff are always kind and accommodating during our visits!“

“Stopped in yesterday for a quick afternoon drink with the family for my dad‘s birthday and had a great time. Everybody was drinking beer, however, I decided to try their absinthe cocktail which was the first time I’ve seen this at a bar and it was done very well.Overall, the place is quaint, has a great cocktail list, and it was also nice to see a Mocktail menu if requested. During nice days, they have plenty of outdoor seating, which would make this a great place to hang out on a Friday or Saturday night with friends.Will definitely be back.“

“My wife and I did a tour. Our experience was great. Amanda did the tour and was very knowledgeable and very down to earth. The smell in the air hits your nose as soon as you walk in and it’s heavenly. The spirits were delicious as well. We bought a bottle of Rye (highly recommend). This was a Christmas gift from my wife! Thanks Copper Fiddle, we will definitely be coming back“

The dinning room has spectacular views of Grass Lake.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian and vegan options are clearly labeled.Dietary restrictions: I saw the salad was the only option for vegetarian gluten free. It was delicious.Parking: It's a very small parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome here.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp to get to the door.“

“I just dined here for the 3rd time (Tues. 3/26)! My favorite server --Kevin (formerly the #1 most-requested server at nearby French bistro, D&J) -- did a great job, once again, with taking care of me! For appetizer, I had the Kaluga Caviar again! For entree, I had the 22 oz. Bone In Ribeye (DELICIOUS) with side orders of creamed spinach and polenta -- all were spectacularly DELICIOUS!!! For dessert, I had the Key Lime Pie to go (I was so very stuffed by then)! Overall, my 3rd time here was an EXCELLENT experience! I definitely plan on coming back, of course!!! *****“

“For a bar in Fox Lake this place is pretty good. It's got plenty of beer and liquor, along with some basic food to go along with it. Lynn Catherine's is hilariously described as a deli: that's funny stuff. Come here to play some slots and hang. The prices are pretty good, but you wouldn't expect to pay much at a place such as this. After visiting the lake we came here. It's one of the many bars in town, located in the middle of downtown close to a few others. This place doesn't look like much, but has a good amount of indoor seating and there's a patio. Drinks are cheap. It's about $4 for a basic cocktail like whiskey and whatever. Even though the food isn't impressive, it's not like it's bad. It's about $7 for shareables such as the Pretzel Bites. These were a little burnt, but not that bad to be honest. Good place for cheap drinks and food. It's popular with locals but it's a good place for anyone to stop into. There's also events like live music and whatever.“

“Very nice and clean place, newly renovated, they did a amazing job with this place. People are very friendly and courteous for a newcomer. The bartender Chris is also very polite and professional I will definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a nice night out in Mc Henry Illinois. I definitely will return“

“I ordered a pizza for takeout on a Thursday night. It was the Dave’s Special with sausage and green pepper. The crust was crispy and the toppings were generous. It’s not the cheapest pizza in the area but it tasted great and reheated well for leftovers. We will be back.“

“First time there & our server recommended all of the goodies, she was amazing! Agua de Jamaica was DELICIOUS & our food of course was amazing. Such great quesabirria tacos. Cute place inside & amazing ambience in general. Will be coming back soon“

“Dinner with Mom and husband. Mom had ribs, and we had beer battered cod. Our waitress Sherri was amazing. My mom is on oxygen, and her portable is only good for an hour and a half. Sherri had us served and taken care of with time to spare! That's great service. Thank “

“just ate here and it was absolutely incredible. The wait staff were very energetic and outgoing as well as helpful. The food was delicious and the portions very large. their salsa and horchata are my favorites out of everywhere I have been. I also loved the mariachi music and the overall atmosphere. for sure a 10/10“

“Personally, I have been a taco lover all my life!! These are maybe some of the best tacos I've have ever had especially the creativity of the ingredients. Anyone can make a standard taco, and then there is this place. The 3 tacos I ordered were the Thai Pulled Pork, Maine Lobster and The Texan. Phenomenal!!There is a very extended drink menu, something for everyone. The atmosphere is unique and creative. If you are an optimistic person and have a craving for awesome tasting food, this spot is a must try!!!“
