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????“

“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 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!“

“This is a really nice spot to hang out. It's quiet enough you can have a conversation and they have sports on the multiple TVs. When the weather is nice, they also have outdoor seating. The bar staff is friendly. They also have probably my favorite food in all of Avondale. I highly recommend the wings or the nachos, but everything I've had is very quality.“

“cool little spot! would be my local hangout if we lived in Chicago“

“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.“

“This restaurant is amazing! A very welcoming place to relax and meet others. I have been here a few times and had different dishes. The Chevaps are tasty, the chicken schnitzel is out of this world and the smash burger is by FAR the best burger I have ever tasted. Add an amazing drink from the bartender and there is no better place for a great meal.“

“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!“

“A quaint Mediterranean family owned restaurant with the best food and Turkish coffee. We had cevaps (kabobs) in homemade bread and sopska salad made with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers that seemed fresh tasting even during winter season. The Turkish coffee was better than anywhere else that I tried in other ethnic restaurants. The owners were also very cordial and it was a pleasure to meet and speak with them about their journey. Definitely a place worth the to visit if in the area.“

“Great local spot. Good atmosphere and great staff 👍“

“The best food in North side of Chicago Fresh with homemade bread every day Their pizza is amazing Fish made with authentic style from Adratic sea ❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“Sunday night; nice crowd. Food and drinks were good. Good Service too“

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

“great tacos! awesome beer listing. terrific ahi tuna bahn mi sandwich! wonderful owners and servers.“

“awesome place thank you Jackie and Gio“

“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“

“friendly service and atmosphere“

“First time at Valley Lodge Tavern and it was an outstanding experience. Cozy atmosphere, great service, top notch management, impressive menu and food. Thank you!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“good place and amazing music.“

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

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

“Lorena the best bartender. The sweetest 🥰🥰“

“It's a pub with a bar and some real good sandwiches. Or just call it your neighborhood joint. Bartenders all nice, lots of stools at the vintage bar as well as separate barstool tables underneath sports TV's at every angle possible. In good weather, daytime or nighttime the back outdoor patio is divine. But the star of the show is Alfredo's superb sandwiches, French fries second to none and excellent salads with top notch protein add ons. Ok, I'll grant you, not a beer lover's paradise (no Drafts) and the small bottle serving wine minimal at best but it's a great hangout with some excellent food at decent prices. And it's a relic of the past still alive!“

“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.“

“Buen ambiente y buen servicio.“

“Food are great And good drinks too“

“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!“

“I have been coming to this location for about two years now; the service is excellent, and the music is good. It's a huge parking lot, and the food is incredible. I love the wings and the burgers. Guilty to say we stay there for hours. There is a pool table and, outside area... I love the people that work there always kind.“

“Chrissy is Awesome and simply the BEST“

“Romantic environment, feel warm and cozy“

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

“Fantastic experience. Food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“Visited the Atlantic to watch Spurs in the Europa League. Dennis and Denny were great, beer, Food and friendly Spurs supporters made for a great afternoon. Hopefully I’ll manage tk get another Spurs game live when I’m next back in town.“

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

“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“

“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 ✅✅✅“

“I had the BEST burger here! They even approved my special request, which was a lettuce wrapped burger because I can’t have the bread! I highly recommend this restaurant because their food is amazing and the atmosphere is awesome! Great service and amazing staff! 🍔 5 stars!!! ⭐️🤩“

“Fun times, good people, drama free.“

“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!“

“Great food great drinks awesome service great place to party“
