50 Best Bars near Lyons

“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!!!“

“This is a magical place where the minute you walk in the door, everyone becomes family. Hugs are given, laughs are had, and everyone is authentically happy you are there. The employees are one of a kind and make you feel welcomed with open arms. This quaint, never too busy, never too slow kind of place is well-kept and cared for. Whether you're looking to have a seat for good conversation, play a game of darts or video poker, or come in on the karaoke nights, this is the perfect spot to grab a drink. :)“

“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.“

“This is a great local bar, but what’s awesome is the food that comes out of this place. I came here in the last month at three different times and there was a different menu of food each time. Which feels like it would be complicated, but it wasn’t. Because every single item was phenomenal. I had the most incredible chicken sandwich this last Monday and then I came back Wednesday thinking I was getting a sandwich and got the most flavorful Filipino tacos with garlic rice and beans and the first time I came here they had SMASH JIBARITOS, a delicious Puerto Rican concept. So no matter when you go there’s gonna be some good food.“

“Enjoyed my first Hot Toddy here!!“

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

“Loved everything about Osito's! Bartender was fun an mixed us a couple of his special recipes -- outstanding. The atmosphere was relaxed but vibrant. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the yucca fries and whitefish ceviche. Can't wait to go back!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

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

“Great music by Ivan Singh!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I live across the street and go here often; I have never had a bad experience. From the wine shop , to the grab and go coffee & pastries, Nettare never disappoints. But, the star of the show is dinner. It is a rotating menu, and all of them have been delicious.
You need to go here!“

“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.“

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

“I feel bad taking off a star bc i don't know if i can say this is the establishment's fault, but, it's got great drinks, amazing prices, and great music...

But for a place with such affordable drinks and funky music, the vibe is VERY snooty hipster. NOBODY dances or even nods along to the music. I know it's not exactly a nightclub, but there's extremely danceable music and plenty of floorspace, and any time me or my friends would get up to dance a bit, the completely immobile crowd would drain all of the joy. In this sense it's honestly one of the more depressing spots in Chicago.

But if you want to get great drinks at a great price and want to stand still in a too-cool-for-school hipster crowd while listening to good music, it's the place for you.“

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

“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“

“Beyond dope. UNPLUGGED LIVE 🎙🔴 #dripPremium“

“I recently hosted a corporate event here, and it was fantastic! Great activity for those that want to learn shuffleboard or just sit and enjoy the atmosphere. The food truck (Bumbu Roux) was incredible, and the event planner (Taylor) was super thorough, helpful and responsive. I cannot recommend more!“

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“Went there first time for open mic on Thursday night ! It was nice seeing all the artist playing songs by signing your name ! Had 21 performances lined up! The bar is quite friendly and chance to meet artists! I also joined the gang and end up playing few songs from nirvana!

Anyone looking for authentic music must visit there for creativity“

“Good musical acts, good drinks.“

“They super Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!“

“Only thing I would have loved was a portable magnifying mirror to use at the desk“

“Very nice staff and the food was amazing 🤩“

“YASSSSSSS! Perfect cocktails, delicious! 🍸amazing service!“

“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.“

“This place has a genuinely cool atmosphere. It's not trying too hard to be anything it's not. Think comfortable and laid-back, but still with a distinct personality. It’s the kind of spot where you can actually relax and have a conversation without yelling, which is a rare find these days. The decor strikes a nice balance between cozy and cool, leaning into a slightly vintage aesthetic that feels authentic.

They've got a solid drink program here. You'll find the usual bar staples, but also some well-crafted cocktails that are both interesting and reasonably priced. The bartenders know what they're doing, turning out consistently good drinks. Whether you're in the mood for a classic or something a bit more adventurous, you won't be disappointed.

Quality Time lives up to its name. It’s an ideal spot for a casual get-together with friends or a low-key date. The unpretentious setting, combined with good drinks and a comfortable noise level, makes it a reliable choice in Logan Square. It’s the kind of neighborhood bar you’ll want to revisit.“

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

“Nice bar & open late! Had a bad day with a missed connecting flight. Hotel bars charge out the wazoo so went here instead. Felt welcome and cared for by the bar tender (Emily?) great deal and good ambiance. Would return if I’m ever back!“

“This is the safest place to have a great time any day of the week. I highly recommend attending their Karaoke night on Saturday's. It’s always a blast and you can sing songs in any language (Spanish & English)“

“Teresa was outstanding great atmosphere“

“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.“

“This is a great place to dance, especially when a certain DJ is playing. I recommend checking their website or social media to see what music will be featured for the night. The venue is small, so it can get crowded, and the air circulation isn't the best, making it feel quite hot at times. However, there’s a nice outdoor area toward the back if you need a break. You can dance near the DJ on stage or hang out at the tables near the entrance and the bar seating if you prefer a more relaxed vibe. Overall, a fun spot with good energy!“

“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 🤷‍♂️“

“Awesome atmosphere and possibilities“
