50 Best Bars near Lyons

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

“Best bartenders around, Phenomenal Pork chop sandwiches.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great DJ, Vic, Qweerrrttyyuuiijj cfgfdd jufc iffy“

“Enjoyed my first Hot Toddy here!!“

“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“

“Just discovered a new cocktail bar in the Logan Square/Avondale area. It’s cozy, rustic, and has super welcoming vibe. The cocktails are unique and creative; great quality without the crazy price tag. I heard they have DJs on weekends too.
Pro tip: Don’t miss the famous tamales from Claudio, the Tamale Guy. 6 pieces for $12 is a steal.“

“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!“

“Went there today for the first, but definitely not last time. The food was extraordinary.“

“The perfect bar, I fear. I can’t believe I have ANY pictures in this place because I’m always just talking to someone or playing pool or queueing up songs on the jukebox. There’s something about this place that you can’t really take a picture of: the people are always friendly and chill, you can tell it has a low staff turnover rate, the food is ALWAYS good. This is the kind of bar which would be the ultimate muse for a poet from the 1800s. My one drink photo is an espresso martini that was made with love, but know that they put just as much love into every beer they pour. It just isn’t as instagrammable.“

“Fabulous addition to the neighborhood! A great spot to have a glass solo, meet up with friends, take a class, or bring a bottle home. They were super accommodating when I brought in a group of girlfriends, seating us at the back table with very attentive service. Very reasonable prices, too.“

“What a wonderful place! Great location with plenty of parking. The hospitality and service was 5 star. The food and specialty cocktails were excellent. We had a 1972 class reunion there today. Mike Moreno is one of our classmates. He and his family treated us like royalty. I wish I lived closer because it’s a beautiful place.“

“I love rainbo club but had a really icky experience there tonight. Bouncer with a “lex” tattoo was a real prick. Snatched my ID out of my hand and literally jabbed it in my face giving it back to me (fully legal age/ID) and was all around really frustrating to all of my friends in line. Maybe just be a tad bit kinder? Or don’t work late night if you get cranky? 😅“

“Desert Hawk in Chicago has quietly become one of the city’s must visit destinations for burger lovers, pairing a laid back neighborhood bar atmosphere with the outstanding creations of Shorty’s Smash Burgers. The signature smash burgers are packed with bold flavor, featuring perfectly caramelized beef, inventive toppings, and the unforgettable crispy cheddar cheese skirt that has earned a devoted following. Whether you’re stopping in for craft cocktails, wings, or one of Chicago’s most talked about smash burgers, Desert Hawk and Shorty’s deliver an experience that’s well worth the visit.“

“I've been here twice and both times, phenomenal. The dry aged ribeye and burger are delicious, and the constantly changing menu always has something new to discover. Sit at the open kitchen and watch the fire magic happen! Yes, the music is loud, but it's a vibe for sure. The bar might be limited in size, but that doesn't stop them from making a great cocktail. Great old fashioned and a legit whiskey sour, I was very impressed.“

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

“I hosted my wedding welcome drinks here and it was AWESOME!
From booking to the actual day everything was smooth!

Brian was so great with all our guests and everyone had an incredible time! We had
~65 people and did a cabana rental, it was cozy, but there was plenty of room and everyone who wanted to play, got to!“

“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.“

“If you're looking for a place in which you can get a real quality Martini, this is it.

Not only the martinis in here are great, but the place itself and the atmosphere of it, makes it such an unique place. Enjoy. 🖤“

“Food was delicious. Few dishes I was not a fan of (oysters) and they accommodated with substitutions. Overall each dish was incredibly memorable. The donut was one of the best deserts I've had.

They made sure to give a personal experience. Atmosphere was wonderful as well.

Highly recommend.“

“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.“

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

“Such an easy place to fall in love with as I have. Perfect vibes and the sweetest bartenders on the planet, drink menu's always rotating with interesting and delightful flavor combinations. Hosted a birthday party here and staff were so helpful and kind throughout the night. This place has my heart forever, long live Consignment Lounge“

“Great music by Ivan Singh!“

“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!“

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

“Beyond dope. UNPLUGGED LIVE 🎙🔴 #dripPremium“

“We stopped in for brunch on the recommendation of our son, who said he’d heard good things about the Wolfhound. He was right! Great food and atmosphere and the owner is a great guy!“

“Food gets 5 stars for presentation, for sure. Unfortunately, the actual food had very mid flavor. Salsa was served with everything so you're likely expected to derive flavor from that. The only challenge there is that it was all hot.
5 star service and atmosphere!
Reasonable prices with ample offerings.“

“We had a memorial lunch at the Jolly Inn this past Friday and it was beyond amazing. Couldn't have asked for more. Maria the server was absolutely delightful and so professional. She made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone in the group raved about how great she was. Thank You so much Maria. The food was fabulous. No one went away hungry for sure. So much variety and everything was fresh, hot and very flavorful. The little room we were in was just perfect for our size group and the ambiance was wonderful. We felt like we were special and it made a day of mourning for us a little easier. Thank You so much for all you did to make the luncheon something that people didn't want to leave.“

“Absolutely incredible! From the moment the food hit the table, everything looked fresh and packed with flavor. The burrito was stuffed with perfectly seasoned meat, fresh pico de gallo, beans, rice, and all the right toppings—every bite was delicious. The chips were warm, crispy, and paired perfectly with the creamy queso, fresh salsa, and homemade guacamole. You can tell everything is made with quality ingredients.

And the margarita? Easily one of the best I’ve had! Perfectly chilled, refreshing, with just the right balance of citrus and tequila—not too sweet and incredibly smooth. It was the perfect complement to the meal.

Great food, amazing drinks, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere. If you’re craving authentic Mexican food and an outstanding margarita, this place is definitely worth the visit. I’ll absolutely be coming back!“

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

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

“Awesome retro bowling ally with awesome drinks and great staff.“

“Great spot for live music.“

“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.“

“They super Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!“

“This place was the 💣! They have bottomless taco Tuesdays with a margarita flight 🍹. Our server, Jay, along with the rest of the staff, were so kind and attentive. As you can see from the photo, they give the birthday person a sash and hat. The energy was through the roof. I will definitely be back again 🌮“

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

“I came across Archies a few years back while out walking my dog.

Stopped out front to tie my shoe, my dog decided she'd walk in without me which is how I found out the bars dog friendly.

The staff is great, prices aren't bad. Its your typical small neighborhood bar which i why I love it.

Cheese balls too!“

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

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

“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!“

“I love this place! It’s so good that I don’t mind making the drive from the south side. The coffee, pastries and food (don’t miss the giardinera chicken salad sandwich) are all delicious as are the assorted crafted cocktails. This is a great place to come solo to get work done or to meet up with people. I’ve never had a problem finding a nearby free parking spot which makes their slightly overpriced menu a better value.“

“Couldn’t even wait to leave to leave a review! The vibes are amazing but especially the customer service. Every person I talked to has been so friendly and accommodating. 2nd time being here and both have been great experiences! Also the staff did so much for us without having to ask, genuinely some of the best customer service I’ve had. The drinks were also so good so all around I’m excited to go come back!!!“

“This is the place to go if you’re looking for a delightfully creative cocktail list and scrumptious food options. We hit this place for brunch and were not disappointed. We had the burger, sausage, jam and egg sando on a milk bun, the earl grey cinnamon (it comes warm by the way), fried potatoes and the matcha raspberry GF cake and Bloody Marys. All of it I would order again with the exception of the GF situation.
The vibe is amazing, loved the design and the service was spectacular.“

“Free hot dogs at midnight. Cool vibe“

“Teresa was outstanding great atmosphere“

“Paddy's truly offers the best bar food around, and the atmosphere is second to none. A big shoutout to Jen, Amy, and Amy Lynn, whose friendly service always makes you feel right at home and appreciated!“
