50 Best Bars near Northfield

“Fun atmosphere & bar! Great food. Lots of tv’s…“

“Great food. Easy parking & place in clean. The staff is friendly.“

“I won't rate the food because it's only snacks. They do have menus from nearby restaurants though, which is really cool.

This is a wonderful cocktail bar. The bartenders are really good at what they do. I think Luke is usually working when I go there? He is really good at what he does and super fun to watch. Very precise and intentional with the way he makes drinks.

I always feel very welcome and relaxed here. It is sort of strange that it is in the base of an apartment complex. I think if I lived here I would be a bit weirded out by all of these strangers in the lobby of my building.

It's nice to get drinks and then go wherever in the lobby, at the bar, or out in the back patio area of the building.

Trivia on Wednesdays is always fun as well.“

“This is a review for Nightshade. To get there, you go to the back of Moonflower then through the unmarked black door to the right and downstairs. There are two rooms - one for music/ dancing and the other with small tables for drinks. The night I went the music room wasn’t open (guess you have to know when it’s club night). A bit bare bones in terms of furniture/ atmosphere. But, the drinks were EXCELLENT. Not a huge selection but the table I was with ordered about four different drinks from the specialty menu and they were all better than I was expecting.

Though the downstairs is designed for drinking I saw people eating from the menu upstairs so apparently you can do that.“

“Made a delivery and the owners had been notified by my employer that it was my birthday. They put together a margarita to go for me and I can honestly say I’ve never had a better one. And the owners were extremely kind even though I was running late.“

“la mejor comida mexicana y hondureña.“

“We hosted my husband’s 50th birthday last weekend there and I can’t say enough good things!!! From start to finish an incredible experience and so much fun! I plan events for a living and working with Ma O’Briens was the easiest, most helpful and amazing experience.“

“get a huckleberry vodka soda!“

“A pleasant neighborhood brewery, bar, and restaurant. We generally order burgers or fish and chips, and enjoy a local beer with our meal. We ordered soft pretzels for our ap, which came with two amazingly good dpping sauces - yum!
Great casual spot.“

“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.“

“Pete's has become our favorite date spot. We came in February for Valentine's Day, and have been four times since, including this past weekend for my birthday. It is always fun, there are always new songs, and the performers are amazingly talented. Christian, Tony, Anthony and Jeremy (sorry for any misspellings) are very creative, charismatic and always put on a great show. Our favorite servers are Bree and Miriam. Can't wait to come back!“

“Great place. Very friendly staff.“

“always a great time nice beer garden“

“Best bar in the city. Friendly. Good beer.“

“The penultimate neighborhood bar with plenty of characters, shenanigans, and fun! It's our "Just One More" place. Bikers, Rock Stars, and Divas will feel right at home. Live music most weekends, outdoors in the summer in a large parking lot. Everybody who knows, goes there. John & Sparklyn are good people!“

“Looking forward to visiting again 😊😊“

“I just took my 12 year old nephew here as a surprise adventure. The place is amazing! It’s well laid out. There is plenty to do for every one. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond. And the prices are reasonable for both games and the bar. We will definitely be back.“

“Love the decor and the people are so nice and of course there’s Harry 😊“

“Erin was our server and was awesome. The chicken sandwich I had was amazing. The Mexican corn side was also amazing. My father had a burger which was huge and he said delicious. I will definitely come back again.“

“Amy was so sweet :) Good vibes here.“

“Paddy's truly offers the best bar food around, and the atmosphere is second to none. A big shoutout to Jen, Amy, and Amy Lynn, whose friendly service always makes you feel right at home and appreciated!“

“Best ever neighborhood bar.“

“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.“

“My husband and I are visiting from Arizona and were meeting some friends in The Glen. We planned on going to The Yardhouse, but thought it was too noisy. Saw the reviews for The Oak and we were so glad we did. The burger I had was the best burger I have ever had, our friend felt the same. My husband and our other friend had the rueben, they loved them also. We left the restaurant and we were going to take individual pics, then this really nice guy offered to take a picture of all of us. He was so very nice. Guess what, he was the owner. We will definitely be back on our next visit here and our friends will be back sooner. Great food!!!!“

“Farragets does not serve food they serve hospitality and excellent drink specials.
Go and support this place all you can. A true bar that doesn't take their customers for granted. Bartenders are sweet and attentive.
I simply love this place a great lesbian sports bar for date night, having a good night to hang out or on a solo outing by yourself. You'll definitely make friends with someone there“

“We have discovered this place 3 years ago when we are searching for an outdoor casual dining. What we found was a great place that had outdoor seating on a deck patio with umbrellas and a TV set to watch sporting events. The service was friendly, and the food was great. The drinks were very reasonable. The menu was large having everything from sandwiches to dinners. We never had a bad experience there and brought family and friends to enjoy the evening sitting outside. We always come back.“

“Awesome people and cool bartenders“

“Wonderful, quirky, local bar. I happened in for happy hour, since I was in the area. Watched some TV with the regulars and traded stories with the bartender. My kind of afternoon! Bring cash. They don't take cards, and maybe stop by for Friday night turtle races!“

“If I could rate this place a hundred stars, I would. The owners are incredible people and I feel so welcome everytime I walk in! They also allow dogs, so it is my dog's favorite place, especially since they keep dog treats behind the bar :)“

“Fantastic menu with a wide variety of options including vegan fare, served by friendly & skilled staff. I attended their monthly Board Game night and had a blast!

Vegetarian options: The menu includes a wide variety of vegetarian and vegan fare; several salads, burger alternatives, nacho alternatives, and sides.“

“This is my neighborhood dive bar with the big Old Style sign. It might not be your neighborhood dive bar with the big Old Style sign, but it's a damn good one and we're plenty okay with that. There's a payphone, artificial grass patio, cold beer only in cans, but you know taps are always suspicious at dive bars it's nice to just cut that step out. Diverse clientele and regulars, but not the point where it's an old man's club or anything.“

“Great food and service! Warm welcoming atmosphere.“

“We were a large group that had many people getting tattoos and a larger group of those offering support while hiding from the needles! We had great service and a fun atmosphere! Drinks & Ink made a special drink for us. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time! Very nice bar!!!“

“Walter was great. Service was terrific and the food was delicious!“

“Worth it for the Youtube Poop Pilgrimages and the DINNER
You will not want to say SQUADALA, We Are Off! after eating here
My boy, the food here is what all true warriors strive for!
10/10 would spadinner again
they should offer a bag of plums though“

“All I know is that the food is so good that I have been here 3 times since it opened (Which has been less then 6 months). I know I should branch out and try the other offerings but I just really love the Tori Paitan and will be back more when the cooler weather is fully settled in.
I also sincerely appreciate that there are good non-alcoholic mixed drinks, because sometimes someone just wants a fun mixed drink but none of the alcohol and there's quite a few options here- expanded even from the menu pictured on Google. There's a really good Yuzu based drink that I also keep getting that is my favorite.
The atmosphere is higher end but not pretentious, and cozy while still being open.

I look forward to bringing more of my friends here.

Parking: Fair amount of parking but it's in a strip mall with other restaurants so you're not always able to find a spot immediately. There's usually more parking in the back“

“This is the bar that made me fall me in love with Chicago, and I’m still a regular there 2 years later. I can come watch any sport games (or Jeopardy at 3pm on weekdays for those of us who work from home), and the bartenders are so perfectly kind.“

“Went here because I am a Cubs fan and an Anthony Bourdain fan, such a great bar north of Wrigley, very friendly staff, and regulars. If you don't want to stay for a Cubs game I highly suggest the Andersonville neighborhood and you have to go to this bar.“

“Great, warm interior. Semi-circular tufted seat banquets and wall tables. Ask for server Ned B. Wine and ales very good. An order of Burrata came w toasted rolls, roasted tomato and pesto. Very good. Fried Calamari was nicely cooked and had a side of ginger dipping sauce, also good.Surprised at the 15% meals tax. I’m from out of state.“

“Super nice peeps- dog stuff so it’s a keeper. Just go“

“We’ve been going to K’s Dugout for quite some time and we really love it! They open at 7am! ( long story) but If you’re looking for a fun no-nonsense neighborhood place to enjoy yourself and the fun connections you can make with neighbors, bar tenders, and the owner Diane, then this place should be at the top of your list! Their indoor AND outdoor spaces are all welcoming and I promise you’ll have a good time. Tell Diane that Randazzle sent you!“

“Replay was such a great time, I reserved a table for Saturday evening to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. I had to alter the amount of guests a few times and replay was super Accommodating. Our server Derek was very kind and attentive to our table. (:“

“Try their chili! It is the best. Great atmosphere.“

“Sovereign is the best type of Chicago dive. Cheap beer, good people, best jukebox you'll find. Much love to them for letting my band do a fundraiser for my buddy's medical bills. The crowd, the staff, and the regulars dug deep and we've covered medication costs for the next couple month“

“I’ve been coming here for years- From burlesque shows over ten years ago to dance parties now from a patron to being a part of events taking place. I love it. A gorgeous venue and a Chicago diamond.“

“Nice place, nice people. It's a bar but they have pizzas which I will request to be less well done next time as I like my food closer to the raw side.... They also have the polish zapiekanki which I did not try.... Some of the karaoke singers were really good. Looks like it's not just regulars here which surprised me.“

“This is our go-to place to stay when we ski at Granite Peak. The staff is professional, responsive and caring. When my daughter was sick they brought the medicine to our room and made sure we didn’t need anything else. The location is also perfect near some incredibly good restaurants!! I highly recommend.“

“Gus is an awesome beertender“

“Lively, loud, exciting and fun!“
