50 Best Bars near Matteson

“OMG, why don't I think of going here more often?! Best Cheeseburger anywhere!! Had a burger, chips & 3 pints & my total bill was only $15.00 for lunch. That's less then any fast food place, & 10x's better!
This is the epitome of an old dive bar, yes, but the best food & great prices!!“

“A Gem for Great Times
This bar never disappoints! The bartenders are not just skilled but also incredibly friendly and attentive—they make the experience feel personal every time. The food is surprisingly good for a bar, with a menu that goes beyond the usual offerings. But what keeps me coming back is the atmosphere: it’s the kind of place where you always seem to meet interesting, friendly people. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink or staying for the night, you’ll leave feeling like you’ve found your new favorite spot. Highly recommend!“

“Great staff! Nice vibes & atmosphere!0“

“Great spot to find crafts from Illinois and beyond. Have an array of liquor to choose from too. Employees are humble and easy to talk to. They have pinball machines and a bar if you're interested in hanging for a while. They also allow dogs into the building!“

“Great place fun time great slots food awesome friendly people“

“I use to visit this establishment a couple years ago. This my 1st time here since it's been back open and I truly enjoyed myself. Reasonable prices, dart machine, casino style games, DJ was jamming, and I love that they have an patio area. Oh, and the wings was fye!! I'll definitely return back to this location“

“Friendly service, cold beers, neighborhood feel-fun!“

“A cozy place to chill and have a few drinks with friends, this local pub feels more like home than any bar I've been to. Sitting on the deck reminds me of family gatherings where we'd sit around and tell stories with beers in hand. The bartender kept her head on a swivel, always quick to grab your next drink before you've even had a chance to ask.Music was just the right volume to hear all the words to your favorite song without missing any of the conversation right next to you. Excellent atmosphere, will definitely be back again.“

“It's a small place with lots of big personalities. Dream is a great bar star and pours a mean drink. Prices are economical and you feel safe there. They scan everyone's ID which I think is a Posen requirement but I like it so if anything occurs, you know who was there. They have karaoke on Tuesdays and the owner has complimentary smoked wings and salad for patrons.“

“Great food and fun!“

“A nightclub in the middle of Harvey. And...it...was....bumpin!!!! On a Thursday!!! Just wow!!! The bar inside is fairly small but well appointed. Since it s summer? They had 3 huge tents...and a great sou d system. It was not only loud? But clear. You could hear the music clearly and the lyrics were clearly discernable from several blocks out. Wow Smittys!!! You are winning!!!
The security was also excellent. With the sidewalks all blocked off......with horses and tape and rope. Done well. Bumpin in Harvey!!! If u want a black owned nightclub? With great music? Atmosphere? Vibe? With young AND grown people? You ve found it!!!!
I only gave the food the rating I did because I didn't have any. When I do? I ll add to the review.
But? DO GO!!!! On Thursdays!!! You ll b happy you did!!!!“

“Been going here for years always great pizza and great deals .“

“The best pub in the south suburbs. You will always feel welcome, lots of fun and full of amazing workers. Eileen is so amazing will throw together a party so you don’t have to worry. Great entertainment and a fabulous beer garden. Super fun events hosted including Sunday fundays, derby day and lots of Irish culture. Stop in for a cold one you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Fantastic local upscale bar that is classy and cozy. Bartenders are knowledgeable on different spirits and owner Jerry is always making sure all experiences are great ones. Love the summertime parking lot parties or just a quiet evening enjoying a crafted cocktail with husband or friends.“

“BABYYY! This is the spot! Good food, good music, great bar tender and pretty dope ambiance. It was a small facility but nice. We ordered the catfish, FIIRE! They even have an outside patio for the smokers. We celebrated my mothers birthday and we had a time!“

“The Bartender on Saturday afternoon was very courteous and friendly.Nice inviting interior. There are plenty of TV's fir Sports enthusiasts. The drinks here are good but kind of pricey. They need to carry Mike's Hard Lemonade- Either Black Cherry, Mango or Strawberry flavors.“

“Just a great place for the locals with a cool environment.“

“This is not your typical ‘bar food’. Everything we have tried there is higher quality Restaurant Food. Bartenders … especially Artie and Kristy are attentive, efficient and fun ! The 0wner, Tommy is usually hanging around and is friendly and accommodating. Sometimes due to allergies I have to alter the menu a little and he doesn’t hesitate to switch things around a little… Do yourself a favor… stop in for a great meal and enjoy a friendly atmosphere.“

“did not spend alot of time went down memory good to see old bar cleaned up thanks allen“

“Stopped in here on a hot summer day during Bluegrass Festival 2024 before the crowds hit. The vibe of this place when it's not crowded is awesome. I felt transported back to the 1970's just walking through to get a drink and catch the bluegrass band on the patio. The bartender was busy making many drinks for the patio crowd but was attentive, the drink was great and inexpensive, and the atmosphere is something that you just aren't going to find in a strip mall or a cookie-cutter brand name bar. If you are ever in Frankfort, pay a visit here.“

“Fellow bartender here and the vibes are EVERYTHING!!!!!“

“Great place to watch sports“

“Friendly, caring, people that have a good time. Any person that is tending bar has always been very friendly, honest and keeps the bar area very clean. The whole building is very clean and there is no problems with any of the people interacting.

Parking: There are many parking spaces.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is easy to get a wheelchair in the door,“

“Place has a full, even somewhat upscale bar. Yes it's a gaming place, but even has a bar sized pool table. Owner is nice, bartenders are good, attentive.... especially love Danielle when she works. Have shot pool there on leagues nights, cause they do host pool leagues there, APA, and just really like the atmosphere and the table. If just looking for a night to relax and get out, but stay away from the younger crowd, definitely a place to check out.“

“The Tin never disappoints! Great atmosphere and the bartenders are some of the best around. Try the burgers and the pizza! Perfect spot to catch up with friends and watch a game. Great for pool players!“

“This place isn't all that different from any other place, because it's just like a regular neighborhood bar, but every single time I've gone here I've ended up with amazing stories. So don't go here for the bar, go here for the atmosphere & the interesting people that you'll randomly meet. Also, the staff has always been an incredibly nice and friendly, so bonus!“

“Great local place for dinner, hanging out and small get-togethers. They do not accept reservations, so you need to get there early. Whenever I go there, the food has been great. We had a large party and the service went well, she was attentive“

“It is very nice! They have added a patio in addition to the two nice sized bar areas. The only complaint would be parking!! It's simply NOT ENOUGH!! Street parking isn't an option because the business is literally on a highway!! Aside from that...go visit...go early!“

“Everyone is friendly They have assorted games to play and an excellent Taco Kitchen CASH ONLY“

“We stopped in here for lunch - picked up a sack with fries, chicken rings, and ten burgers for $24. It was easily enough to feed three people (and two dogs) with food leftover. The food was hot and tasty and ready quickly. We don't go for sliders often, but I'll happily go back here again.“
