50 Best Bar & Grill near Norridge

“Great Bar Great owner great bartenders“

“Such a fun spot! Came in on a Monday afternoon, got amazing service, and accidentally convinced the whole bar to order $5 Espresso Martinis. The bartender handled the sudden rush like an absolute pro, and every drink tasted incredible. Unbeatable value for less than $30 total!“

“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!“

“The food came out in generous portions. MI vs. MN game and White Sox streaming with drink specials ($5 Modelos and Mimosas) to go along.

The server, delightful middle-aged guy in rainbow tie-dye treated us well!

The patio looked awesome (tho’ we chose a high top).

2:00 and their brunch and lunch menus were being served. Their croissant breakfast sammie and their BLAAT on sourdough were served with fresh arugula. The American fries and French fries were really good!“

“Food was delicious, wish they would’ve offered a box for the rest of my fries though instead of tossing them. Would like to come back again to try more of their burgers“

“We absolutely loved this place! The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the smashburgers; they were incredibly tasty and cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor in every bite. I ordered the passion fruit margarita at ut was perfect. We can’t wait to return!“

“We had my daughter’s bridal shower in the garden area. Everyone who attended couldn’t say enough about the venue and what a special day it was for them! That was so pleasing to hear that not only was it a special day for my daughter, but for the guests as well! The atmosphere was so warm and inviting and the service was outstanding! I can’t say enough about our time spent at Chief O’Neils. Thank you for providing such a lovely space. I highly recommend this venue!“

“This place is amazing!! The atmosphere right away is cozy and welcoming. The son who runs things up front was very friendly and explained the menu and how everything is homemade by his parents. The food was delicious with very generous portions. Overall, one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had. I will definitely be returning!“

“We were greeted by friendly staff and patrons as soon as we walked in on a Sunday evening. We were asked what we wanted to drink right away and even though the taps blew we were led to other options. The food menu was the perfect size and the bartender answered all of our questions and even made us laugh a few times. The food was cooked right in front of us and it tasted so freaking good. Perfect bar.“

“We had a wonderful time going for the first time for a friend’s birthday. Our server Micky was so friendly and accommodating! The owner generously comped some drinks for us as first time customers. The plantains with the onion-forward dipping sauce were phenomenal. The Brussels sprouts had a lovely balsamic glaze topped with creamy goat cheese. Several of us ordered burgers with side salads, and the greens were of high quality. The standard vinaigrette offered was a wonderful blend of tangy and subtlety sweet. The smash burger patties were cooked well with crisp edges while maintaining a juicy interior. The garlic parm fries had a crisp exterior and fluffy texture. Everything was phenomenal, and Micky even helped us with the cake our friend made and brought. Do yourself a favor and come check this spot out!“

“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“

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

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

“spots in the area to watch a Bears game. The energy is perfect — TVs everywhere, great sound, and the crowd actually feels like a community.

The food is consistently great (way above typical bar food), and it’s obvious the ownership really cares about the place. You can tell in the details — the place is spotless, from the front tables to the bathrooms, and everything feels well run.

The bartenders are fast, friendly, and know their stuff, whether you’re ordering a draft, a cocktail, or just asking what’s good to eat. Service is always quick even when it’s packed, and you never feel ignored.

If you’re looking for a clean, well-run bar with great food, great service, and the perfect setup for a Bears Sunday, Filonek’s is the spot.“
