50 Best Bar & Grill near Norridge

“Great Bar Great owner great bartenders“

“Food is great, but ive been here twice and theyve gotten my order wrong both times. Not a huge deal. Wait time for service was a bit slow, first time I was there it was about 20 minutes after we were greeted and given menus. Then another 10-15 minutes for the burger. Which seems quite long?“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, nice staff. but... on 11/20/24 there were THREE cover all bingo winners - only one won the trip... each winner should have got a trip to Vegas. How often do you have multiple winners in a coverall, let alone three of them????“

“Fantastic food, wide assortment of drinks, friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent ambience. One of my favorite places in the city.“

“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!“

“D 4 Cafe on Western is a cozy, no-frills spot that serves up some of the most authentic Bosnian food in Chicago. I stopped by for lunch and ordered the cevapi with lepinja and a side of ajvar. The cevapi were perfectly grilled, juicy, and flavorful, nestled in soft, fresh lepinja bread. The ajvar added a nice kick, complementing the dish beautifully. The service was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. If you're craving authentic Balkan cuisine, this spot is a must-visit.“

“I came in from out of state and I loved this place. My favorite bar in the neighborhood that I got to visit. Went back a couple times throughout my visit. They even changed one tv for me to watch my OKC Thunder game. Thank you for making me feel welcome.“

“Had a great time visiting on 1.13.25 with my work team, loved the food 🍔 and beverages 🍺 and the atmosphere! Did NOT love that this was the ONLY place I had used a new business debit card and it got hacked. ☹️“

“We went at Christmas time. They decorate the restaurant from the ceiling to the floor in lights. You can't help but get in the festive mood. We did make reservations and we came earlier and they still sat us. The staff was very friendly. I started with a cocktail called the Ramblers Rest. It was tasty. I could really taste the pomegranate notes. For appetizers we got the poutine. It is okay. For dinner I got the chef's wedge salad it was delicious. The homemade ranch dressing and the bacon bits totally made the salad. My hubby got their shepherd's pie. He said it was great. They have Coke products. They have a private area, and plenty of seating options. They have two fire places. I definitely want to go back during the summer. It looks like they have a large patio. Oh and they have a no stroller rule in the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: No strollers allowed in the restaurant.“

“Solid first experience here. The food was delicious and perfectly presented. Anri and his mom were so friendly and it’s obvious they care about their customers and remember their regulars! Dim, cute lighting and decor, ambiance was simultaneously relaxed & sleek and sitting at the bar was comfortable. The ćevapi, shopska salat, and fries were all great. We’ll 100% go back for the owners, the ambiance, and to try the other menu items!“

“Great food, staff and music.“

“Food was excellent, the service was prompt and friendly. You could really see the connection the staff has with the customers just seemed like a great place to grab some food and entertainment. Highly recommend!“

“awesome place thank you Jackie and Gio“

“Fabulous atmosphere, killer "naked" wings, tunes, and staff. Highly recommend.“

“I heard good things about the food but I couldn't try it because it's 35 and up. Wish they had a take out option or sum. Lowkey mad ASL cuz they kicked my ass out. My fat ass just wanted to eat. I give em stars cuz the security was polite.“

“Traveling from Louisiana, and my friend and I stopped here for lunch. Absolutely amazing service, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was very quaint and niche. You can tell they have their regulars, but everyone was still so inviting. The food was PHENOMENAL. Also loved how clean everything was. I'd absolutely recommend this place to anyone. I'll absolutely come back if I make another trip out to Chicago.“

“What a pizza! this is the new spot. we ordered pizza and buffalo wings, both were delicious“

“Great place to eat and drink. And have one of our meetings in the backroom.“

“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.“

“My band just played there. Great place for music food and drinks. Super friendly staff. 💯 recommended, add it to your list of watering holes 🍻“

“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“

“Es un lugar muy agradable de ambiente acogedor y buen ambiente.“

“good place and amazing music.“

“Came in the other day and had the best experience. Our server was maya 10/10 will be asking for her by request the next time we go. She was so attentive and made sure we had what we needed before we knew we needed it 😂 Love that. If you need a place to have a good time this is where you should be.“

“Lorena the best bartender. The sweetest 🥰🥰“

“Our band played at Whiskey River on a Friday and we had dinner and drinks there beforehand. Food was excellent, staff was awesome and very welcoming. Really cool crowd with a noticeably wide age range, everyone had a good time.“

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

“Buen ambiente y buen servicio.“

“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.“

“Love outdoor options in the summer. Even with a crazy weekend of 56 Music Fix everything was on point with food and service. I loved seeing Chris step in and help anywhere and everywhere he needed to.“

“Had a great time here celebrating my 50th bday!“

“The staff was great, the menu is great and is super friendly to gluten free diners. The Buttermilk chicken fried sandwich and the mozzarella sticks were delicious. Everyone in my party was thrilled with their meal. We will be regulars.“

“Good, service, atmosphere! Just the best!“

“Fun times, good people, drama free.“

“Great Place. Love the food and great service.“

“Love this place - cozy neighborhood sports bar atmosphere with truly excellent food, a great rotating beer menu, and very reasonable prices. There are often games or music on, but never so loud that you can't have a conversation. All of the food we've tried has been delicious! Never once had a bad dish or experience! We stopped in on a whim for lunch and quickly became regulars after tasting the burgers, rustic potato salad, and brussel sprouts. There are different daily food specials and a surprising list of high-end options (e.g. Wagyu beef burgers, lamb dip, Mediterranean mushroom sandwich) for such a casual setting. The staff is great, the chef is on point, the beers are frosty, and the meatloaf dinner on Thursday is worth a special visit. If you're looking for a relaxed place to have a great meal, a cold drink, and a conversation, I can't recommend the Old School Tavern enough.

Kid-friendliness: Seen many families there with babies and kids

Wheelchair accessibility: There are regular customers who are wheelchair users, there is a back entrance with easy access and the staff is very helpful“

“I usually stop here since it's on my mail route and I can tell you that they have great food and great drinks I had their buttermilk chicken sandwich with portage park tater tots and it was very good I highly recommend this spot espically for happy hour also the staff is amazing they always make me feel welcome“

“Excellent food and our server, Megan, was best we've had in ages!“

“Lived in the neighborhood going on 2 years and have never gone wrong… Don’t feel like cooking ✅ Want something fast✅ Quick drinky drink to unwind ✅ Comfort food? Pizza ✅ Wings ✅ Italian beef ✅ Burgers ✅ Fries, tots, nachos ✅✅✅“

“great food, awesome atmosphere, and service was spot on. I'll definitely be back.“

“Great neighborhood dive bar; good prices, great pub food, pool table, juke box, decent craft beer selection, outdoor seating area, nice mix of clientele. Highly recommend the grilled chicken sandwich, burgers, fried mushrooms and pierogi's with sour cream.

Parking: Free Street parking, never had an issue. You can park across the street in the bank parking lot when it's closed, don't park there when the bank is open!“

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

“What can I say about SandTrap! They have daily specials, they’re kid friendly, The bartenders create tasty drinks, their Thursday night Karaoke Rocks, and their menu is priced for anyone’s pocket. If they have special events, it’s always nicely decorated and you control your own music! Try the shotski for 4 drinkers!! If it’s too low key for your party, ask the bartender to spice it up…pump up the volume! You will have a great time!! Go check them out!!! They are accommodating to their customers!“
