50 Best Bars near Lyons

“Great neighborhood bar where you can relax and habe a good time. Awesome owner and staff. The menu is on the small side but the food is always good. There's never any trouble and that's why we've been coming here for so many years.“

“Great place where it isn’t $17 beer night all the time. For a weary traveler like me, this was a taste of my home bars.“

“Great DJ, Vic, Qweerrrttyyuuiijj cfgfdd jufc iffy“

“:-) wowed by the Beautiful bartenders! ! What a great atmosphere. That place just makes me a better person!!! I love it!!!“

“A big thank you to both our waitresses/bartenders and the chef cooking up the most amazing Friday fish Fry and oysters Rockefeller. Everything from food, drinks, and service were above and beyond. We will definitely return to check out the rest of the menu.“

“I am prejudiced because I know the bartenders and owner, who are all great people! The prices are good and the regulars who go there know it, too! Whatever food they're serving is always good and the jukebox is full of good tunes. Much love.“

“Enjoyed my first Hot Toddy here!!“

“Stopped in here to try the Jibarito Smash Burger. Was impressed with this bad boys...it was like that fr. It comes with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, grilled onions and their version of animal-style sauce. The burger was a well-prepared smash burger and the bun had two fried plantains for the bun. 9.2. Ngl this was solid all the way around burger. The vibe inside wasn't my type but I wasn't there for that. Overall 8.9...the customer service was cool she got me straight on my drinks and food. But definitely will come back for the burger.“

“BEST Cubano sandwich I’ve ever had in a longgg time! Always love their mahi mahi tacos and Italian beef egg rolls too.“

“The interactive coin op playground of the Chciago arcade / bar scene. Priced for a cash night out- cc welcome and there is an atm. Street parking is easy but ya know how that is- taking CTA or Rideshare to Logan Square is simple. Order bites and shareable from Fry Like An Eagle next door and they deliver! Say hey to Dr. Z and be kind to the staff they are great humans there to make sure you have fun!“

“Free hot dogs at midnight. Cool vibe“

“if there was ever a better Watering Hole In chicago. This Is It, hands down. Chris and his staff are superior at every aspect of being a classy drinking establishment. I recommend it highly, and Shop local all you lovely Neighbors.“

“A wonderful spot to sit down and have a drink and apps. The bartender Carli was very kind a gave great suggestions which made the experience that much better. Matt was very personable, talking to me about music and my visit to Chicago, great vibes all around. I’m from the south and I wish we had oysters half as good as the pickled oysters on the menu. Hats off to Queen Mary’s“

“This place is a real gem not to be missed. It’s unpretentious, with approachable knowledgeable staff. The prices are unbeatable and they always have some fun or funky wines to try. I love the monthly deep read nights, the atmosphere and music is always well curated. I just hope to get into one of their classes, but they sell out quick!“

“Osito's Tap is a great queer bar in the authentic Little Village Neighborhood in Chicago. They had fantastic and reasonably priced drinks, awesome flavored Michaladas, and great food. I loved the Oxana pizza and wings. It's got a great vibe and awesome staff.“

“Thank you for hosting Open Mic night. Wonderful experience. We’ll be back.“

“We went on a Saturday night around 930pm. Not many people in there yet but the crowd that was there was diverse. Different ages and walks of life. Bar tender was friendly enough and took care of business. Poured a stiff drink for a fair price. It is a legit authentic "dive bar" for starters. The real deal. No frills. Not some wanna be staged pretend dive bar with over priced drinks and pretention. It is old, dark and dirty. We wanted to love this place. We loved everything about it except for one thing...And it is a deal breaker for us. Um. The smell. It smells horrible!!! Like an old stale ashtray with a half put out cigarette still going in it and up in your face. It was really really bad. I don't know if someone was actually smoking in there while we were there, but there is definitely still smoking happening inside that place. It burned my eyes and my nostrils. Gave me a headache. Unfortunately, we were one and done (and had a pretty good buzz from our one drink I must say). But sorry, we can't do the cigarette smoke.“

“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.“

“This place has a very dedicated, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. The signature cocktails are designed beautifully. I love watching childhood favorites (the bartender played Are you Afraid of the Dark) on tube TVs while sipping my favorite adult beverages.“

“We rolled in as some sleeveless thirsty travelers late night on a Thursday. We were bathed in nonchalant hospitality. The quality of a bar can stand on the legs of a Strong menu but it’s only excellent when you have exceptional staff. The Scofflaw has the sauce“

“Great music by Ivan Singh!“

“Смачно. Весело. Приємний персонал. Гарна музика👍🥂🤘🤙👍“

“It’s the orbit room with “hipster”. Still a great jaunt. Anyone who makes a whiskey sour with egg white is good in my book.“

“Stopped by here for a quick drink while waiting for our table at the overpriced fancy restaurant down the street. Drinks here were on point, great service, great vibe. The fancy place down the street ended up sucking, we should have just stayed here and had tamales and beer.“

“My first time here (new to Chicago) saw High on Fire and Negative Approach. Sounded great! Great staff, great room for music, hope to return many many more times!“

“Great outdoor spot, great drinks...fun!“

“Nice place , im having a Sunday funday for sure!“

“My friends and I were able to make a reservation for 12 people here one night. The wine and food are amazing. They were also accommodating for different checks!“

“They super Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!“

“A great place to meet friends and see Drag Queens every other month“

“Friendly staff, great place to be and the chips and salsa are so good!!!!“

“Dance vibes and good food.. recommend the fish tacos“

“Fun place, good food, good service! We had dinner at the bar a couple nights ago. Everything we got was delicious, including the burger, duck, and some appetizers. Excellent service from Zack, and what a fun place that is. Light only by candlelight, and I love their soundtrack, if a little loud.“

“Beyond dope. UNPLUGGED LIVE 🎙🔴 #dripPremium“

“Indoors only - dog friendly tavern that encourages patrons to try the infamous Malort.
Jeopardy was on at 4 pm and everyone participated! Bordering Ukrainian village this gemstone is to be sought after! It is a neighborhood tavern not a fancy place and the bartender is versatile !“

“The best all around ! Staff, food, drinks!“

“I've been knows the number of times and I've always liked it. They've done a lot building out the rear space and that's nice to have expanded area because it was a little bit tight before. They have a stage in the main area which allows them to have entertainment.“

“i like this place extra because i am polish. bartender laughed at my excitement over my home beer being in the fridge (lone star) and said you can find it anywhere! now listen here willy i love ya but im here to tell you that just ain't true! i been to and from, across this damn nation, and outside of texas i seen it once somewhere in missouri, on the northeast coast at a single live music venue, and here at stella's tap! maybe a couple more but still this is a rare treat for a simple texan like me. thanks for the good times“

“Came into town just to watch Euros at this bar. Brian and the crew were outstanding bartenders!“

“This was my first time using 99 Haus Balloons for my daughter's 2nd birthday party and they went above and beyond!! Absolutely worth every penny and will be a repeat customer for all my balloon needs! Fabulous service, the product looked amazing and my daughter was in love with the balloons. 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!“

“I just walked out of the door and am so glad that God sent us there. We tried 3 places prior to walking in CheSa’s doors which was a definite blessing. We had the catfish skillet, bourbon peach cobbler franchise toast, chicken sausage and scrabbles eggs w/cheese washed down with a breakfast martini. Absolutely delicious and with the owner/chef being very warm w/great hospitality. We’re definitely going back.“

“I’ve been going to the Map Room since 1996 and really the only thing that’s changed is that they take credit cards…and that’s a positive!

And why go to Starbucks when you can enjoy better coffee in 3X the space at the Map Room 🤷‍♂️“

“This establishment is a wonderful addition to downtown Clarendon Hills. They offer a wide variety of cocktails, wonderful selection of wine by the glass or bottle and extensive beer menu.
The owner and staff here are so friendly and welcoming. It is the perfect place to enjoy an outdoor beverage.“

“Was there at the beginning of June with my bro & 2 buddies. Great little spot with friendly staff and good prices. Mckenna the bartender was the highlight (sorry I didn’t make it back with gummies, never made it to the store. And thanks for recommending Pequod’s!!)“

“The cocktails are really good and the happy hour prices make them some of the best in the city. I appreciate that it goes until 7pm for those of us who work a little later. With any good deal, there is a high volume so it was kind of difficult to get a second round.“

“Dope. Needed 25 characters for Facebook to post the review. Also the bartender was a super nice guy.“

“This place is a must visit. My wife and I have been here twice and they don’t miss! Love the Chicago spin they put on a lot of their dishes. Each dish is well balanced and so flavorful and their cocktails are tasty too! Every team member we have interacted with is always knowledgeable and welcoming. There is no doubt this place will continue to get more popular and is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Can’t wait to go back“

“Quite the gem in Logan Square! Have seen DJs and Jazz performed here and each experience was absolutely lovely despite the contrast of the crowd. No food here but the quality of service and drinks totally make up for that.

The sound system is also great! Especially for live acts on weekdays with a more intimate vibe. One of my favorite spots in the city for music and chill non pretentious vibes. Did I mention, there's usually no cover here?? Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot with good music and drinks.“

“Stopped by Four Moon Tavern on a Friday night, had the Pimento Burger and a side of onion rings. Burger was juicy, cheesy, and hit the spot; onion rings were crispy and not greasy. Tossed back a $3.50 bottle of Schlitz during happy hour, can’t beat that. The jukebox was playing classic rock, the vibe was chill, and the staff was friendly. Definitely a solid neighborhood bar with good food and drinks. I’ll be back for sure.“

“Awesome atmosphere and possibilities“
