50 Best Bars near Morton Grove

“Best place to go staff is the best and owner is awesome!!!“

“As soon as you walk in the door you realize that it’s not a bar - it’s a comfortable shoe, a true neighborhood joint that is congenial and friendly. Love the signs such as Hamns Beer $ 3 every day and Chicago sports photos on the walls; excellent tavern style pizza ! Love the history behind the building It’s a classic that reminds of the bars in my hood on the Southside of Chicago“

“Great Local Gem!! Love how they added karaoke on Wednesday.“

“Delicious food. Wonderful lunch menu. Thank you!“

“Highly recommended for first dates, or just going with a group of friends. Been here twice, and everyone there is super friendly, definitely a place to have a lot of laughs and make great memories. 10/10 🙌🏼“

“Adoro l'arredamento vintage. I tarocchi sono divertenti.“

“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.“

“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 couple blocks from Wrigley Field, Guthries is always a fun time! Gather a group, grab a table and a few games from the wall, and order a pizza to be delivered! Great for pre and post Cubs games or just for a typical Chicago neighborhoody night out. Typical dive bar drinks and beer on tap. It can get crowded, especially game or concert nights.“

“Liar’s Club has some of my favorite bands on the regular, so I find myself there a lot. My band has played there too, and it’s a great experience - the room sounds good, with a solid PA system. Gary and the rest of the staff are awesome - the polar opposite of the snooty, hipper-than-thou attitude you get at some rock & roll joints. Drink prices are cheap, and parking is always pretty easy. The clientele is consistently asshole-free. Can’t think of anything bad to say about Liar’s.“

“I won't rate the food because it's only snacks. They do have menus from nearby restaurants though, which is really cool.

This is a wonderful cocktail bar. The bartenders are really good at what they do. I think Luke is usually working when I go there? He is really good at what he does and super fun to watch. Very precise and intentional with the way he makes drinks.

I always feel very welcome and relaxed here. It is sort of strange that it is in the base of an apartment complex. I think if I lived here I would be a bit weirded out by all of these strangers in the lobby of my building.

It's nice to get drinks and then go wherever in the lobby, at the bar, or out in the back patio area of the building.

Trivia on Wednesdays is always fun as well.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“My boyfriend and I love this bar so we decided to rent out the top floor to throw a party for our family and friends this weekend to celebrate graduating law school. Not only was Delilah's the perfect location, Mike and everyone working there went above and beyond to help us with the event. Words cannot describe how helpful they were and how much fun we had. Some of the best service and so fun and kind on top of that. Thank you, Delilah's! Could not recommend more.“

“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.“

“Great vibe! Happened upon it while in Chicago - highly recommend!“

“This is a review for Nightshade. To get there, you go to the back of Moonflower then through the unmarked black door to the right and downstairs. There are two rooms - one for music/ dancing and the other with small tables for drinks. The night I went the music room wasn’t open (guess you have to know when it’s club night). A bit bare bones in terms of furniture/ atmosphere. But, the drinks were EXCELLENT. Not a huge selection but the table I was with ordered about four different drinks from the specialty menu and they were all better than I was expecting.

Though the downstairs is designed for drinking I saw people eating from the menu upstairs so apparently you can do that.“

“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.“

“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!“

“la mejor comida mexicana y hondureña.“

“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.“

“Awesome Chicago Dogs and atmosphere! Great waitress and warm, cozy and fun atmosphere!“

“I visited as a solo traveller from Scotland on a Friday for the legendary Turtle Racing. I paid for the drinks package which included drafts and well drinks. It was worth the price and the experience was great. I will return in 2025 when I visit again!“

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

“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!“

“Wonderful place and wonderful. Staff!! Wowwa the beer menu is ahhh Mazing!!“

“We hosted my husband’s 50th birthday last weekend there and I can’t say enough good things!!! From start to finish an incredible experience and so much fun! I plan events for a living and working with Ma O’Briens was the easiest, most helpful and amazing experience.“

“They super Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!“

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

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

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

“I walked here from the place I was staying for the weekend ! Although I didn’t order food, I did order drinks and they were so good! The bartender Andrew was very nice and pleasant! The service was good! It was a bit rowdy crowd there bc of the basketball game but overall a good time and definitely would be back! Also, order the summer smash! So so good if you like fruity drinks!“

“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 !“

“As much as I love attending music performances at The Hideout, it’s events like this evening’s that really grabs me. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky is being interviewed by Politico's Shia Kapos about the results of the Presidential election. The discussion and Q&A are really helping me process the results. Thank you Hideout!“

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

“A family friend took me here with my brother and I am so happy she did! This piano bar has awesome atmosphere and the musicians are so talented, it seems like they can play most songs on the spot. People can write a song request on a piece of paper and hand it to the musicians playing piano with a tip and they will play it! I highly recommend, this place has awesome energy!“

“The food is delicious and staff is very welcoming. Great vibe to relax and visit with your friends. I come here every time I'm in the area.“

“Rolled up to Wang’s in Boystown last night and I’m buzzin’. Cozy, vintage China vibes—dim lighting, kitschy decor, DJs spinning just right. I grabbed a Chiang Mai Dragon and my friend tore through a Ginseng Margarita, plus we snagged some Scofflaw fries and split a cookie at midnight. Staff were chill, drinks solid, perfect lil hideaway — we’ll def be back.“

“So much fun, love replay“

“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“

“The penultimate neighborhood bar with plenty of characters, shenanigans, and fun! It's our "Just One More" place. Bikers, Rock Stars, and Divas will feel right at home. Live music most weekends, outdoors in the summer in a large parking lot. Everybody who knows, goes there. John & Sparklyn are good people!“
