50 Best Bar & Grill near Norridge

“Great Bar Great owner great bartenders“

“It's a very clean bar. But I did notice all of the tables had precariously dangerously high boy top style chairs. And this isn't good if you've had a few. The booths are a safe bet, with the kitchen and bathrooms close by. I hsd hoped they have pizza so the families can socialize and friends could meet during the day. And for it to use the night, where it might have a 21 and over rule, clearly . I don't know,that was left unclear. It was a place without the loud music and jousling environment of an actual bar. There are plenty of small nooks, one video game, or three. Also one large 80 inch television for the family. Though I did not eat Whike It looked invisible from the outside, inside offers a comfortable humble environment that should be a quaint experience for all ages.
I'm all in for good times, music games and a lot of fun.“

“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????“

“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!“

“I gave them 4 stars for the friendly and quick service. I believe I paid 18.00 for 2 shots of some peanut butter tasting shot. Thats a hefty price, which is why i hang out in the burbs. Regardless, fun atmosphere. I would drop by again for a beer or two. Did not eat.“

“I came here today on my lunch break to grab a burger. Let’s start off by saying the gentleman behind the bar was so kind as soon as walked in the door. The vibe was great! I’ll definitely be back soon when I’m not working to grab a bite and a drink inside.

So the food was great!!!!“

“We are on holidays here in Chicago from Australia and I searched up Balkan restaurants as I knew there is a big former Yugoslav community here. I am Bosnian myself so I thought we’d come here for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious and exactly like back in Sarajevo, Bosnia. It is a family run restaurant serving up the best Balkan dishes. The cevapi, pljeskavica and raznici were excellent, as was the chicken Soup. Thank you so much. Sve naj bolje vam zelim, I hvala vam opet!“

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

“I've been here multiple times now and every visit is fantastic! Great beer and mixed drinks. Food and service is absolutely top notch. The best spot for Cevapi in my opinion. The shopska salad is fresh and addictive. The burger is delicious and the spicy sauce they add to it is a favorite of mine that sets their burger apart from the exploding smash burger scene. The schnitzel is also excellent. I highly recommend you check out Rosewood Tavern.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

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

“awesome place thank you Jackie and Gio“

“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.“

“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.“

“Buen ambiente y buen servicio.“

“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.“

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

“Great place to gather with friends and family! I love their wings and my husband enjoys their pizza and onion rings. Definitely a local staple!“

“My wife and I ate here on a whim and had the best time! Zero complaints about the service or food. Whenever we're back in town, they'll be high on our list to revisit.“

“the owner is amazing! my first time ordering here, I thought i placed the order for delivery, instead it was for pickup. I called and the owner answered, I explained i didn't have a car at the moment and he personally delivered the order himself. I tried to give him a tip and he refused. the food was great and still hot by the time we received it. we will definitely be ordering again! thank you so much!“

“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.“

“I LOVE this place cuz it my neighborhood bar but the new hires are charging tooooo much for one drink in a lil PLASTIC cup . It’s not busy like before & I think that’s why. When I started going both sides were jumping the drinks were on point and affordable but now it’s that one side and it’s a lil dead & a lot of times closed! 😒 I don’t know want this place to die out like every other place . Fix it ? ❤️ $38 for 2 drinks ,plastic cups & not even half way full . I got money but that’s ridiculous ! Js.“
