35 Best Beer Bars near Melrose Park

“Always an excellent time and welcoming atmosphere.“

“Everything about this gem is amazing. The food was delicious. They had a great selection of drinks and cocktails to choose from. If you catch Santana who is a bartender there, he’s super friendly and knowledgeable- as is the whole staff. Modelo on Tap is also just an awesome homage to have for the community.“

“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!“

“We tried Gaia for the first time on Mother’s Day and were pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the entire experience was. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The service was fantastic; the staff was attentive, never letting our drinks go empty, and every course was timed perfectly.

The food was incredible, and every bite was delicious. The bruschetta was perfectly prepared, the Alfredo sauce was rich, creamy, and cheesy, and the chocolate fudge cake drizzled with strawberry sauce was absolutely to die for.

If you’re looking for a charming Italian restaurant for a night out with friends, family, or someone special, I highly recommend giving Gaia a try!“

“A dive bar? With Bourbon County on tap? Rabbits could be Moe's tavern right out of the Simpsons, but don't let that fool you. No Duff's here, but there is always a better than average and sometimes exceptional tap lineup for beer geeks. But don't let the secret out that you can get the full BCBS experience here in the fall without the crowd.“

“Love this place❤️so welcoming great drinks,great prices, the environment is so awesome everyone is sooooo nice. They also have banda days which are so much fun. And you guys have to come visit Liz she makes the best drinks hands down. Definitely recommend this bar.“

“Great service! Tacos were worth the $2.50 and then some. Great people, really appreciate the effort.“

“Bar and liquor store combo with a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a great selection of whiskey and beer.

We had our rehearsal dinner there, and it was exactly what we wanted. Very much our style. Saved us a bunch of money doing it there vs our other options. And the nice thing was that we were able to cater whatever food we wanted there.

We also got the spirits for our wedding through them. They had the best prices from everything we vetted, and we were able to return all the unopened bottles that were leftover after the event.

Thanks again to Dillon, the owner, who is a really nice guy!“

“Very nice place. Great service,respectful bartenders..“

“Popped into Toby's this evening. My first bar on my first visit to the USA, and boy did I pick a good one. The service was excellent, Janet and Ashley were extremely welcoming. The vibe was relaxed and the regular clientele all seemed friendly too. Drinks were very reasonably priced. I hope to visit again very soon!“

“We always know we’ll have a wonderful time at Tannins. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service team is attentive and friendly, and the wine selection is exceptional. Their wine club is a fantastic value, offering great perks at a very reasonable price. Tannins is our go-to spot for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Highly recommend!

“Social Junkie is one the top 3 best bars in the dunning area. I’ve been coming here since they rebranded and it’s always been a fun time! Great drink selections and their food is outstanding. I’ve tried a couple of different items from their menu over the years and I recently got their Parma burger and fries. They were both delightful and it’s one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. I can’t explain it, but the taste was so unique and also very affordable compared to other bar and grills in the city. It’s a worth a visit when you are in the dunning area!“

“We had The Double stuffed to the brim with friends and family to celebrate our wedding and it was an absolute blast! Henry and his staff made the whole experience seamless. They gave us a wonderful night full of good drinks and endless karaoke. Highly recommend for your next party.“

“Great Food and sports ambiance. Can’t beat the owner’s vision for this place. He succeeded.“

“there is a fantastic rock and roll brunch menu. the service is excellent. and I can highly recommend the Long Island Iced Teas.“

“Was there a day ago had a few drinks 🍹 Andy the man such a cool guy 👏🏼 honestly recommend 💯% very peaceful place to have a drink and chill 🤗“

“Come check out these wild wings. delicious a variety of flavors.“

“If you haven’t tried their pizza, shame on you! Chicago thin crust at its finest! I love their monthly pizza specials or just try a pepperoni. It doesn’t matter, but like Nike says, just do it…“

“Wow, Kow is a great place to get some Korean bbq. I've been to many Korean bbq to include in Korea. I like Kow. Very modern cool feel to the place. Now I've only been here during slow early hours but the food is the same I'm sure. They have a small ramen bar to get you started if you want, but maybe hold some space for the rest. We had the dinner meal and it had everything we could want and more. Did I say all you can eat? We ate too much, but left happy. If you don't know Korean bbq, you Grill your own food so it is just the way you like it. The servers are happy to help if you need it. Other than the overfull stomach we left with, have nothing but good things to say. Even liked the giant video screens around the restaurant. Check it out. 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Never, ever! Too much drama and GANG activities!“

“Love this hidden gem in Cicero. Typical sports bar with great drink specials, live music on Friday nights, and DJ on Saturday nights. Great for watching all sporting events! Also has a gaming room with all of the best machines. As the sign on the building says its “the best kept secret in Cicero”!!“

“Great place, helpful beertenders! I stopped in to pick up a few Oktoberfest beers that I discovered they had via Untappd! Bottle shops like Beer on the Wall are perfect for when you don't want to buy a full 4-pack or 6-pack of something you want to try. And they have a good selection of beers on tap!“

“Me and my family were in Chicago for the weekend and stopped in yesterday and ordered a tavern style and stuffed pizza both were amazing and definitely will be going back next time we are in area.“

“Wonderful place to have a meal. The Dunkley Burgers is awesome!“

“All was amazing for our first visit.“

“I visit Chicago every year for NYE and Weston’s has become a familiar favorite of mine year after year. I love that the lavender lattes are year-round, absolutely scrumptious pastries, friendly staff, and the environment is comfortable. Earlier this month before heading out, I went to purchase a sweatshirt but they didn’t have any in store in my size. Nick, the owner, went above and beyond offering to meet up beforehand, but I just didn’t have time-so he shipped it. It’s so comfy and I love that I’m able to represent another business that is close to my heart. Thanks, Weston’s!“

“We had my sons second birthday party here and I would highly recommend to anyone who has enjoyed eating at Morettis. The catering and management team were very responsive, flexible, and excited for host our event. We had about 50 people and the staff was outstanding. Everyone loved the food. I would host again at Morettis!!!“

“We have an amazing time every time we go there. We enjoy taking one of our bikes, muscle cars, antique cars etc for a night out, and going for great food and entertainment. The bartender is absolutely fantastic! He remembers what we drive, hobbies etc. It’s just an all around great place to go. The burgers are just absolutely fantastic. And you can’t beat the Monday special. Try the seasoned fries!“

“stopped in from the rain and grabbed a mini beef and fries...7.95...great price. beef sandwich is exactly what you want from a local beef joint. great casual service. Sox game on....(rain delay lol) I just got into town from Florida and after you leave midway it's about a 15 minute drive...awesome location in a great area! 👍 👌 Thanks for the great experience Beefys!“

“Stopped in after a gig with my band….cool place to hang!“

“Celebrated my 57 birthday there with family and friends servers were great atmosphere was great only disappointment was that they actually charged my son for the slice if cake they gave me which is usually complimentary at most restaurants for the birthday person. The Moods or Maurice and Friends Band was an amazing treat!“

“Great & delicious food nice staff will come back again“

“First time visiting this family owned restaurant. I stopped in to order a taco salad to go and was greeted with a warm welcome. Amazing Taco Salad is all I can say - super fresh - great dressing. My next visit will be Dine-In!“

“The outside dinning garden and Bar is magical !!! with the beautiful large trees decorated with just the right amount of lights. Have a cocktail have dinner. Listen to live music every Thursday night. The food is amazing and they have a great summer cocktail menu. Perfect for family or date nights. Fun free bingo on Thursday nights. Staff works very hard to make sure that your experience is the best. Their salads are amazing and so are all their appetizers. Let’s not remember. It’s right across from the train tracks easy way to get there without having to drive. five stars.“
