37 Best Bar & Grill near Palatine

“Great service and extensive menu.“

“Alley 64 has a great menu, a fun an accommodating staff! We had a semi-surprise party in their back room! They were so helpful, let us set up early, refrigerated a cake for us, had appetizers out super quick! There was probably about 40 of us and the bartenders/waiters were awesome… it was a huge success! Definitely think of Alley 64 for a group/party options!“

“live just down the street from Lamp Lighters, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The food is always excellent—fresh, flavorful, and consistently satisfying no matter what you order. The atmosphere feels friendly and comfortable, like a true neighborhood gem.

A special mention goes to Amber, who’s not only incredibly attentive and professional but also genuinely kind and welcoming every time I stop in. She makes the experience even better with her great energy and warm personality.

If you’re in Palatine and haven’t been to Lamp Lighters yet, you’re missing out on one of the best local places around!“

“It’s a fun out going place“

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem in the area! If it’s less than 5 stars then its vastly underrated. The fish fry on Friday in Lent was way better than expected, excellent teriyaki salmon dinner and karaoke entertainment by the locals that were extremely talented! (super encouraging also) We’re coming next Friday without fail 7pm“

“Salsa 17 has always been one of our families favorite restaurants. They have delicious food, great service and a casual fun atmosphere. Yesterday they went above and beyond for us. We were hosting a large party at our home and reserved a food truck from another business. 5 minutes before our party started we received a call that the food truck was not able to show up. I called Salsa 17 and with no notice they were able to cater a fajita bar for 40 people in just over an hour. The manager I spoke to was accommodating and so kind. The food was outstanding and plentiful. I highly recommend Salsa 17 for both in person dining and catering!“

“All sorts of events Tuesday-Saturday or if you want a chill night go on Monday nights.“

“Love this place, not enough to move to Illinois but if I did, I would be a regular. Thanks to our server/bartender for a great afternoon. We will be back when next in the area.“

“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!“

“Food was amazing. definitely get your money's worth.“

“Absolutely one of my favorite places I. The suburbs. Their food is next level and great atmosphere.“

“Es un lugar muy agradable de ambiente acogedor y buen ambiente.“

“I had a chance to swing in last week and it's a nice, comfortable setting. The food was excellent if you are interested in Austrian/German bites. The people working here were super nice compared to similar tyes of places in the area. They even had a 50% off beer special going on! I will be returning for sure.“

“I’ve visited here multiple years and have never been disappointed“

“Always Amazing and fun!!!!!🤩“

“Amazing place - first time here - Nichole was an amazing bartender- will be back with the family soon“

“Half price pizza & $8 pitchers $4 Bloody/Screwdriver on Sunday. Great place with great specials, I like “The Italian” specialty pizza with sausage/Italian beef/Giardiniera (add onion) it’s like $10-$11 for a Large 16” on Sunday 👌“

“If your flight takes you through Chicago, you have to stop in the O'Hara Bar & Grill. You'll receive excellent service, meet new and friendly patrons, and get a wonderful drink plus a bite to eat. Margaritas in the morning? Yep! Prices are comparable for airport stop thru restaurants. Just make sure you have time or you'll miss your flight! Hahaha“

“Great food with friendly staff“

“I Travel frequently for work, i got. A local tip about this place and man. It did not disappoint anytime. I'm in the area. I will come back. I tried multiple dishes over multiple days. And they were all to die for the owner has a way around the grill and smoke. The beef ribs were delicious. I'm from Texas and man.The barbecue compares to home definitely going to hit this spot up anytime I move there“

“If you're looking for FRESH food and not from a package out of the deep freezer than this is the place to grab you a HOT, FRESH breakfast!
My favorite item for breakfast is the Breakfast plate. It contains two eggs made your way, bacon (4 stripes) , or sausage, red quarter cut potatoes sautéed, and two pieces of toast. Price is about $13 and some change. TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

I also love to order their breakfast sandwhich. Select either bacon or sausage, egg made your way, and cheese.

Also, if you order a buttery toasty grilled cheese sandwich it automatically comes with French fries!!!
Again, TOTALLY WORTH IT!!
So, head to gate F16 and go check out my FAVORITE place when in ORD, SKYBRIDGE!!
Enjoy!!“

“Just moved here to des plaines and cannot be more appreciative of any bar, this one by far is my favorite, the ppl, the drinks the food, and the exquisite service.. there is nothing ‘at 7 bar’ doesn’t give to their customers! Michelle is amazing and does her job as if she is two people, idk how, but she makes it happen!“

“Food and service was amazing!“

“Me and my family flew for Christmas and ate here. Ricardo was very friendly and was an amazing bartender. We flew again two months later and he recognized me and my father before I sat down. Great server, great drinks, and we make it a point to visit every layover.“

“Today I sat at the bar to have a drink between flights. A discreetly drunk woman casually stumbled up to the bar.

The bartender tells her she could only have a “seltzer” water.. then she asks for wine.. He said sorry I only have a “seltzer water but I’ll give you a lime on it”.

The way this bartender completely diffused a drunk lady without any problems in the bar. He was so extremely professional and preemptive in his work.. Good on him for reading the room and holding it down. I think his name was Oscar.“
