50 Best Sports Bars near North Riverside

“Fun times, good people, drama free.“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere with friendly service and delicious food.“

“Really cool local neighborhood spot! Babe’s has a fun atmosphere with pink everywhere, which gives the place its own personality without feeling overdone. You can tell they’re passionate about creating a space that celebrates women athletes and women’s sports, and that makes it feel different from your typical sports bar.

They have some really good mixed drinks along with a solid selection of cans and bottles. The beers were ice cold, the bartenders were great, and the whole place had that welcoming neighborhood-bar feel that you just don’t find much anymore.

Definitely a spot I’d come back to for a few drinks and to watch a game!“

“This past weekend we celebrated my wife’s 40th birthday at Draft bar and it was an awesome night! Service with a smile and great atmosphere made for a special night! My wife and I would encourage everyone looking for a great space to party like we just did to do it here! The shot ski is a definite plus as well as the front patio! Looking forward to many more parties here! Cheers 🍻“

“My friend celebrated her birthday there, it was okay I mean the club is a great vibe but the staff didn't make us feel all that welcomed, they just started at us most of the time but when other ppl came in they were attentive there's a man that walks around very intrusively looking at your table for I guess garbage and just tak6e it off the table no excuse me or waiting until you're done with your food, I didn't purchase any food I just had a long island ice tea which was watered down 👎🏾. The best thing was the DJ JE IS AWESOME 😎👍🏾✌🏾🫶🏾 FR 📢 I WOULDNT HAVE A PAETY THERE BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN I RESPECT THAT. AT THE LIKE 15 MINUTES TILL OUR ENDING TINE AR 10BPM THEY STARTED HOVERING AROUND ALMOST LIKE PUSHING US OUT IR REMINDING US OF OUR TIME I JUST DIDNT LIKE IT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOT GOOD AT ALL THEY ALL NEED TO BE CRITIQUED ON HOW TO BE MIRE FRIENDLY ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR PRICES FR.“

“Great local spot for wings, pizza, beers, music & vibes. Staff it great. It does get pretty busy or packed some times so having patience is key if you are going in hangry. Overall a great selection if you want the neighborhood bar outing.“

“We dined at Hillgrove Tap for a Moms day out event today. They were fantastic handling our group. Service was excellent. Food was fantastic. And they were so organized. Marc was one of the people who helped make our lunch so enjoyable, thank you Marc and team! We do not live in this town but will be bringing my family back soon! Thanks for the great experience!“

“Best place to eat in Chicago! I started going there when the owner became a client of the company I was working for in the mid-90s, setting up cash registers in the restaurant he opened for his nephew. I no longer live in Chicago, but make it a point to stop there and speak with the owner every chance I get. Always great food and exceptional service! You may have to wait in line, though. Understandably, it's a very popular place!“

“there is a fantastic rock and roll brunch menu. the service is excellent. and I can highly recommend the Long Island Iced Teas.“

“Edelweiss is a pure gem and is THE best bar in Chicago. Laid back, friendly and a timeless classic former shift bar that now hosts a good mix of lively people. I’ve met one of my best friends in the city at this bar, spent birthdays, happy and sad moments here and the staff is just phenomenal. Olga is my favorite bartender in Chicago who has an incredible heart and makes you feel at home. Alex, who handles the karaoke machine is the best to sing your heart out with. I always bring out of town visitors, friends and loved ones here all the time, and is my space in the city. Businesses like this are the real soul of this city and in hard times and good times alike, they keep the city going…Have a Lvivske blonde and a Zubrowka in the front where you can mingle and sing, play billiards in the back, and have your intimate conversations in the really nice patio ;)“

“Great Staff and food! Tables are nice, very nice clean private bathrooms and awesome environment to hang out or just chill.“

“Total local joint. Love stopping in when I’m in town“

“Dropped into this spot a couple times on my way home from shopping. You can tell it's a local type of dive where the folks all pretty much know each other. Though I was an outsider, I was properly greeted by a few and the customer service was good and friendly. It's the other few that look at you like you don't belong, especially if you're on a slot game they want.“

“This was our first time visiting, and my friend and I were looking for a quick bite after a stressful week. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and the staff were really helpful. We asked for recommendations, and they offered several options. We went with their suggestions, and everything we tried was delicious! Some of the dishes were new to us, and I genuinely enjoyed everything. We had fun, and the food and drinks made for a really satisfying visit.“

“We happened to be working in the small town of Hodgkins and stumbled upon this place. It has a small town feel where everyone is super friendly and everything we have tried so far on the menu was AMAZING! The burgers are the best Around! Chicken Dumping Soup is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Bartenders are super friendly and on top of their game! HIGHLY Recommend this place! 💪🤘🇺🇸“

“I consider this bar my home away from home when I want to get out. I also get along with ALL the bartenders, they been good to me...“

“Delicious pizza, great food overall, good daily specials. reasonable beer prices and friendly, attentive bartenders! I love this place.“

“Most patrons were glued to the games on screen, a fairly focused bunch. The chatter was audible but didn't overwhelm the sports commentary, which was a relief. It felt like a typical local watering hole, and I suppose that's what you'd expect.“

“Amazing place to hangout with friends family“

“This place is amazing! I come here with close friends weekly and it’s truly a fun atmosphere. The staff, the service, the liveliness, the music, is incredible. The empanadas are so delicious too!! Each time I come, myself and friends are always welcomed and treated respectfully. Great place to have FUN 😎“

“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“

“Friendly staff. Delicious food. Quesaberria tacos, avacado burger & jalapeño poppers are top notch. Lots of screens to enjoy big games.“

“It’s a nice place to play slots. Staff is friendly.“

“Great place to visit. Very comfortable surroundings. Great get away place to think during the early evenings. My favorite time to visit is around 11:00-5:00pm. I listen to great music have a beer or two and play the slot machines. At times win big!!! Victoria's has all types of music, in- expensive drinks, ales and spirits. Fabulous owners and friendly regulars. Private Parties in doors and out doors. You will be glad you stopped by.“

“Me and my coworker went here after a long trip coming to Chicago. Bartender found out we were from out of town and introduced us to all the regulars. Drinks were amazing. The regulars made us feel very welcome. Will definitely have to stop by again the next time I come to Chicago.“

“First time here, and I gotta say, this place is top notch. Coming from the Mecca of bars, NY, Premier hits the spot. They make sure you’re having a good time. The bar has a variety of selections, and the bartenders don’t scam you on the liquor.
If you looking for a chill spot, don’t hesitate to come here.“

“Previous bartenders and a lowlife crowd made me avoid this place for a long time. Tonight I met Lauren, and she will have me coming back for more Marlort Margaritas and other fun creations. Her character is outstanding. Excellent bartender. Had a good friendly crowd. Will come back again.“

“We have an amazing time every time we go there. We enjoy taking one of our bikes, muscle cars, antique cars etc for a night out, and going for great food and entertainment. The bartender is absolutely fantastic! He remembers what we drive, hobbies etc. It’s just an all around great place to go. The burgers are just absolutely fantastic. And you can’t beat the Monday special. Try the seasoned fries!“

“Incredible cocktailscare about cocktails“

“The team working was great, friendly, attentive and that alone provided a fantastic atmosphere. We arrived with a group of 14 and they made sure we (and everyone) were all taken care of throughout the evening. Good drink specials, good music all in the heart of a Chicago neighborhood sounds like a winner to me. We will be returning, and if you’re ever in the neighborhood you should stop by. Thanks Six Penny Team. Steve O Rodriguez on behalf of LBSC.“
