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.“

“THE cocktail bar to go to in the neighborhood, especially if you're going to a show at Aragon or The Riv. Doesn't have a kitchen but you can BYO or have something delivered, and they also have a partnership with the deli down the street so you can order some truly delicious sammies at the bar and they'll deliver. Really great cocktail program from Luke who runs the bar, and really great staff that'll help you figure out what'll really wet your whistle. Also has a huge patio open in the summer, and lots of cozy couches and seating in the lobby.“

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs. Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp via her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“This is one of my favorite bars in the city. I love that it's nearby my neighborhood, it's a lovely addition to the area. The food is delicious, I recommend the dill pickle pasta salad and the burger. The cocktail menu changes seasonally I think, so there's always something new to try. Cocktails are always nicely balanced and tasty. The staff is so friendly and I love the atmosphere. Busy on the weekends but weeknights are a bit quieter. Visit immediately.“

“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!!!!“

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

“la mejor comida mexicana y hondureña.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Ustar has such great service! Came multiple times for small groups, and recently for a party of 20. Someone coordinated with me via text to get every question and detail prepared before arriving. Told us we can bring outside food, and made it easy for guests to order drinks. Staff made the experience wonderful!

If you plan on coming, they recommend bringing a tablet for YouTube which helps a lot for bigger parties.“

“Found this gem by accident while waiting around, and I’m so glad I did. The hospitality was incredible. It’s the ultimate local spot with a welcoming atmosphere. Thanks to the kind bartender and all the guests who made me feel at home.
​P.S. Sorry again to Aneta, the bartender!“

“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.“

“Zach the door man and his Manager were absolutely amazing. They gave us seats so appreciated. We had an amazing time we absolutely loved it. We will be back for another girls night out. Zach bought my Mom a shot for her birthday and that was awesome. We laughed so hard. Some of the girls 1st time, they had a blast. Such a great atmosphere and so much funny, blast. Thank you for a wonderful TIME...“

“Great place. Very friendly staff.“

“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.“

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

“Looking forward to visiting again 😊😊“

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

“Absolutely love this place. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, the specialty cocktails are super creative, and Molly is an absolute joy to get your drinks from. Great location, too, being right off the Morse red line stop. Only downside is that sometimes it gets pretty loud but at least there's outdoor seating too!“

“Wow. I had the soup/stew. It was great. Don't miss the garden. Koi pond. Lester the owner has stories. This is where waiters and waitresses go.“

“Jarvis Square Tavern (not to mention the owner, Tony, plus all staff, et al.) is the BEST bar Roger’s Park has to offer. Such an amazing community, outstanding drinks, a pool table, darts, and more….

Also super easy to order food (delivered directly to you at the bar) from surrounding restaurants. Could not recommend more highly!

Cash only, HOWEVER - if you use their onsite ATM, free shot is also included…

GO GO GO 👀“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We celebrated my mom’s birthday at Field House in Deerfield and it was honestly such a special experience from start to finish.

The atmosphere is beautiful—warm, inviting, and perfect for both an intimate family dinner or a bigger celebration. From the moment we walked in, the team made us feel so welcomed and taken care of, which made the night even more meaningful.

The food completely exceeded expectations. Everything we ordered was incredible—from the homemade cheese curds (a must!) to the nachos, and my personal favorite, the lobster gnocchi. The menu truly has something for everyone, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor.

What really stood out was how accommodating and kind everyone was while we celebrated. They made my mom feel so special, and that’s something we’ll always remember.

If you’re looking for a place that delivers amazing food, great energy, and a genuinely memorable experience, Field House is it. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“What a pizza! this is the new spot. we ordered pizza and buffalo wings, both were delicious“

“get a huckleberry vodka soda!“

“Best ever neighborhood bar.“

“Recommended by our local Loop hotel barman to try this little gem in Andersonville and it didn't disappoint. 15 minutes in an Uber from the Loop.
Cash only, proper local pub, Pete and Bri looked after us as only Chicagoans can! 🍺 Great hospitality and we will definitely be back.“

“[BAR IS CASH ONLY] We came by for a bachelorette party’s main event at the request of the bride. She’d been to Big Joe’s for turtle racing nearly 7 years ago and was desperate to bring us all. It was a wacky and hilarious night out that we’ll all cherish. Great clientele, great service, great MC for the races. Cheap beer and many laughs. The loser of each race gets a free drink!“

“A great spot to hangout and grab a drink.“

“We randomly stopped in hungry after getting off a flight at OHare. WOW! The food was so good and beers perfectly cold. Might be the best wings I’ve ever had!! Also had a pulled pork sandwich which was scrumptious, chicken Alfredo pasta quickly devoured by our daughter. Curly fries and sweet potato fries also 🔥! Our server, Rachel was great, too!“

“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“

“My go to place every week! I love the selections, and the prices are amazing! Farraguts is a community spot I enjoy going to, love the staff, love the people, and love the environment! It's honestly the best bar where I feel like I can be myself, I love my trans folks. <3“

“I love this place ..🌺.. such a nice bar , nice people, just a fun environment. Good people“

“Best steak around by far. Nothing and nowhere near can compare in my opinion!“

“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.“

“perfect place, friendly, easy on the pocket and the friendliest bartenders and customers. Makes a new customer feel at ease and welcomed.“

“Awesome people and cool bartenders“

“Great, friendly, neighborhood bar. Jimmy will make you feel like you've been friends forever. Not usually open on Sundays, but Jimmy will open specially for Bears games, and you might also get to sample his homemade chili, sloppy joes, or maybe even some Little Caesar's pizza! ?“

“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.“

“My gf and I had an amazing time here, incredibly friendly service and the food was delicious.

However!! Their bathroom has toilet paper with the roll under and not over. Very close to taking a point off for this grave travesty 🤭“

“Review Update: I was at Gannon's yesterday afternoon and we were there around shift change. Both bartenders were fantastic! This time we decided to try eating something here, and ordered the avocado BLT and the fish and chips. The sandwich was solid, the fish was great, but what stood out to me was the fries. I told the bartender/server that the fries were killer, and he said some people just come in and order fries cause they are so good. I believe it! Truly, these are the best fries on Lincoln Ave from Irving to at least Bryn Mawr. I hope to be back soon to get a beer and a side of fries, from the prompt and friendly staff, in this unpretentious gem of an establishment.“

“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.“

“Inside, outside, early night, late night, no matter when or where, it’s always fantastic, every single time. The spicy feta is great, the chicken kabobs, martinis, coffees, have never had anything not fantastic!“

“Great place. Live entertainment, Bingo, karaoke. Slots. Great staff“

“Love this place! And especially Owner, Jackie!“

“The Cheeseburger on a Pretzel bun was very good and I would recommend it. I like their selection of German & Craft beers. I will be back at the Old Munich Tavern next Friday.“

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

“Everything is delicious, and the servers so nice. I love this place“

“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.“

“Love this spot so much! Just moved to the neighborhood and it truly adds so much to the environment. The bar tenders are lovely to talk to and very talented, their signature cocktails are balanced and delicious. Ask for the pandan highball it’s to die for! It is a very small space, but very clean and cozy. Perfect to impress a date for sure.“
