50 Best Bars near Lockport

“I remember you Laura. You and your partner walked in while we were super busy. Maybe you didn't notice our heads down in the well making cocktail after cocktail after cocktail for the numerous satisfied guests. Each cocktail takes several minutes to construct. Our other guests seemed fine with the wait. While you seem more content with being a keyboard warrior. Service is something we take great pride in Laura, your lack of patience could really use some work. Oh, the elevator situated right next to the stairs may have helped get you up and down, sorry you didn't see it.“

“love ryan the owner and the customers are great also“

“I love bts bar it’s my place“

“One of the best dive bars if not the best in Lockport. It's a known biker bar, serves popcorn, has miller high life. What else do you need? Place has plenty of character and characters inside. I don't know where the "best bloody mary's" came from. This is 100% false, do not expect a good bloody, maybe in the 90s but not anymore. Overall, great spot, great dive.“

“Brett is one of the best bartenders there no doubt. The new owner is awesome and friendly. Roccos is a great place for a casual night out for drinks and a good tome with friends“

“Not only is the food and beverage great, but Paradise Bay gives back to the community in many ways, including recently helping the DR32 Basketball Club afford all the extra practice time and fees associated with the 2022 Illinois State Championship Tournament, where we finished in 3rd place. Thank you to all those at Paradise Bay for your help and kindness toward our program!!! - Sam Rizzo“

Loni was really nice and made sure if we needed something that we were well taken care of. I love the fact that they kept it true to how it was when originally built but with modern upgrades. Will for sure come back next time I go to visit my brother.
Update. Came back today, great food and drinks. Staff super friendly and helpful.“

“Best Five Star Dive Bar in Town!!!“

“Low key bar, not a big place but cozy. They have slot machines but no pool tables ? Bartender was very attentive to our needs and came over to chat while I was playing my favorite slot machine, she also enjoyed playing the same game. I know this is random but the Women's bathroom door was the cutest ever. Outside looks like a small cramped but nope. It was surprisingly big and clean“

“Cool place fun atmosphere great staff“

“Ummmmm, I do not remember being here. I must have had one hell of a time because I do not remember being here at all. I do not drink too often, so if I was here and did drink, that would explain a lot.I guess I had a great time. I hope I did not cause any trouble. If I did, I apologize. It's those dang Coronas and tequila mixers that do it every time!I hope I kept my clothes on and did not swing from any chandeliers upside down naked.If I did, I made it home safe, and thank you for not calling the police on me. If I offended anyone, sorry.5 stars and great digs!“

“Great atmosphere a friend of mine dragged me there and even though I am not much of a drinker and wasn't in a drinking mood they manage to warm me up to the idea with a corona on the house and how can I refuse it at that point it was cleared they ware more than just a bar I highly recommend this place great people tending towards customer service.“

“We had a blast there this past Saturday saw a great band and met lots of new friends!!!!“

“Always a good time .. good food great regulars and Terry actually cares about the place.“

“Aaron the bartender is great! Thank you! So friendly, so kind. The drinks are super fun / cute, and I especially recommend the pina colada. The service is excellent, the vibe is very cute. Went on a Tuesday night around 9-10:30 - it was quiet which was nice, but livened up towards the end. The drinks could be a bit better which is why I gave 4 stars and not 5 - but I'll absolutely be back :)“

“We booked a room because we were attending a wedding on the premises. We got upstairs to check in and at least 6 guests were ahead of us in line, despite the line, the check in process was quick and efficient. There were 2 desk attendants and as the line grew and 3rd came out to help. All 3 were pleasant, smiling and very helpful. The room was very nice, spacious, immaculate and comfortable. The bathroom was also spacious. We would definitely stay again.“

“If you're looking for a trendy place go somewhere else. If you're looking for a homey place, friendly face - enjoy , , , , , Ignore the other reviews as they have the BEST bartenders who will greet you with a smile every time. Their Wednesday night dinners during the summer are the bomb!!!“

“Stopped in a couple days ago for the first time. Place is nice, & food is great! Tracy was behind the bar and I think she’s Awesome. Great at her job, and she made the night a lot of fun. Great experience.“

“I stopped in and had a few drinks. The bartender was friendly, not a vast selection of hard alcohol, but they had the regular stuff. I asked for food, but no food was available. 2 pool tables, one dart machine, slot machines with a touch game, and iTunes. It was a small place with no table setting, only a bar, but it looked clean and cozy. The bartender seemed very relaxed.“

“Great food, drinks and music!“

“The local craft beer selection is diverse enough to satisfy basically any beer fan. I loved the bacon and jalapeño mac and cheese, and I want to take bottles of the fried pickle dipping sauce home! The bartender Jim was very knowledgeable and handled a very busy bar extremely well. I'm looking forward to my next visit!“

“This is the City Tavern, Located on West Jefferson Street & Midland Ave. Great place to get a ice cold beer, mixed drinks, some shots. Watch a Cubs, White Sox baseball games, Chicago Bears football game. Black Hawks hockey game, 9 big screen TV'S to watch your favorite teams & Pro sports games on. Quick customer service friendly service with a ????????.“

“Awesome bartenders. Cool spot. Bowling in the bar and slots 🙂“

“Just tried the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and corn. Haven't had it in a long time and boy was I pleasantly surprised. Very very yummy. And thank God the mashed potatoes were made from real potatoes. Definitely tasted home made. Prices are very good as well. I'll try few more dished in the coming weeks but right now 5 stars.“

“Met some friends for the Cubs opening day game on one of several television screens. I ordered a half pound burger from Thayer Brothers which is next door. It was prepared perfectly paired with fries and some tasty chicken noodle soup. I was in the mood for a beer on tap and was told they have not had "on tap" for over two years due to the pandemic. I hope they get that situation remedied when I go back.“

“I liked it, nice clean facility. Nice big bar area, the grill was clean and the lady cook was very nice, i asked for my amburger in a special way and she accommodated me. My oakbrook OTB is my favorite, been going there for years, but nice to try someplace different. Hawthorne club is a great get away to relax and have fun.“

“Nancy’s place is the best!!!“

“Lots of little snacks like candy bars an small chip bags,mainly a drinking place.

Not many pool tables,about 2-3 its mainly a younger crowd of peeps that head in there.

Bartenders are very friendly as soon as you come inside you are acknowledged 😃

Atmosphere ver much is good vibes,i love the vibe.“
