50 Best Sports Bars near Palatine

“loved it! friendly staff and great food.“

“My previous review was accidentally deleted by me, but let me just say that this is by far the best bar around the Chicagoland area. Firstly, let me start by raving about Colleen, the GOAT of bartenders! She is an absolute sweetheart! From the first day she made me feel at home! If you are new, she goes up to you, introduces herself and hands you a napkin. She has the most awesome and proper etiquette for the hospitality industry. Colleen is an absolute godsend! I do not know a single person who badmouths her. She also makes the best margaritas and rums/cokes! She remembers your name as wel and starts calling you by your name on the second day. The other bartenders are amazing as well. On Tuesdays and Thursdays when I go in, Lisa remembers my drink and food order. She is also a gem as well! As far as the food goes, the chicken bacon ranch wrap is one of the best I have ever eaten. The Cheddar Cheese burger is amazing as well. Seriously this place is a great find. As far as the reviews calling this place racist are concerned, to each their own: I have never had any issues and I am disabled and asian that is like a double negative. It is the most inclusive place around town!“

“Great service and extensive menu.“

“We have been going to Durty Nellie's this Bear season and were welcomed with open arms. The service has been great and the servers attentive. Josh, the general manager has been available to us and helped our group raise over $2,000 for Wings . We are now looking into other events to continue raising funds and enjoying the music and food. Thank you.“

“Super fun old school experience“

“Came here with a few friends and family to play darts. It was 930 pm and we were told we were being too loud- literally cheering that my mom got a bullseye. Because it was apparently their dinner hour… one table was eating. The bartender started swearing at us and the other was so concerned we cheered yet let a dad pay her off to allow a teenager in days ago. Handed us the bill and then called the cops on us. Mind you the cops laughed hearing how they were. Would not recommend a thing. Terrible atmosphere and incompetent rude staff.“

“Such a hidden gem! Absolutely love this place. Dawn is amazing! I came to this location on several week days and she is always so friendly, kind, attentive, makes excellent drinks, and is so warm and inviting she just makes you want to come back. I can't say enough good things about her! I also had the pleasure of meeting Kristen and Tony who were also wonderful! Shuffle's West is comfortable, relaxing, extremely clean, has a full bar, and is in a great location. Highly recommend!“

“Very clean, and staff is very pleasant. It is a low key gaming spot with the machines to the side so it is also a great place for the non-gamer. The food is typical menu of burgers, hot dogs, subs, etc. I go in a group and everyone has said their order was great, regardless what it was. It is well suited for groups.“

“This was literally a hidden gem for us. The service was great the guy who served us was extremely nice he checked with us regularly to ask if we needed anything else. We tried the fries which were good but we didn't have any food ... will be trying that next time. The place is very clean and nicely kept. There is great seating and the high chairs by the bar are comfortable. The slots machines were clean and I notice the guy serving us kept cleaning them regularly. The have complimentary soda water and snacks by the slot machines . My bf and I will definitely be coming back. Hope we have the same experience again !“

“Stopped in last week and I was greeted by the sweetest young lady. ( Rachel) She is friendly, attentive and great conversationalist. Finally a place I can go to with a positive atmosphere. I highly recommend this location. Thank you Rachel for your service and kindness.“

“I play for the two roller derby teams that practice at Coachlite down the street from Rookie’s (Chicago-Style Roller Derby women’s+ league and Chicago Bruise Brothers men’s+ league) and we love coming to Rookies after practices!!! Best place ever!! Great service and the food is always top notch. We are hooked on the $0.99 wings special and get them every Sunday and Monday.“

“They support local live music entertainment!“

“We came with 2 dogs & management was happy to set-up a table for us outside and turn on the tv. Our waitress, Jennifer was very attentive and helpful.“

“This is the first time that we've gone to the new location in Schaumburg. The food was absolutely amazing. Our server was on point asking us appropriately when we needed something. My one disappointment was that there was no ski ball or shuffleboard. Those were my two favorite games to play at the old Location in Addison“

“We had a fantastic meal/Margaritas at Sammy’s Mexican Grill made even better by our amazing server, Martin! He was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. His recommendations were spot on, and his service was exceptional. Thank you, Martin, for making our visit special! We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“After asking a bartender to remake an order, we were verbally and physically assaulted by the bar's manager/owner and multiple patrons of the bar. Physically dragged out of the bar, and then my gf was punched in the face twice by the manager. Then he and multiple other men punched and kicked me, knocking one of my teeth out. At no point did we put hands on any of these people, but they thought attacking us was OK. We spent the night in the ER and both have head and neck injuries. Also punched a girl in her face twice busting her lip open horrible that this place allows men to beat up a woman“

“Throw away your low expectations of "Bar Food" because this place has the BEST Food! Creative ideas that really pay off. Add in the fun bar activities like Karaoke and of course bowling and you have a great evening out. Bar Down and Popular Creek Bowl provides an exceptional and memorable night out. It's a place where you can enjoy top-notch bowling, belt out your favorite tunes during karaoke, and indulge in gourmet-quality food and drinks. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I'll definitely be returning for another night of fun at this amazing establishment.“

“Placed an order over the phone for a delivery order and I must say, the service was great. I believe Mark took my order (according to the receipt). Super helpful and quick. Budgeted 1 hour for delivery, showed up in 50 minutes which is always a plus. Delivery driver was courteous and overall I’m glad we ordered from here!

Pizza was very good, and they have a gluten free 10” as well!

Wings were not as good as expected, but I can’t lower their rating for that.

Overall, would order again!“

“great food, awesome atmosphere, and service was spot on. I'll definitely be back.“

“Nice place with good food and good drink.“

“I have eaten at their Lincoln Park location and was excited they opened in downtown Arlington Heights.

We went in a Monday night and were seated immediately. We asked about their Daily Specials and the server was somewhat confused and were different than what was listed on their website.

Started with their 5.00 margarita which was very good.

They are known for their wings so I had to have them again. They are a little pricey in my opinion but their Birds Nest Hot Sauce is the bomb. So flavorful and just the right amount of spice. Wings were tender and juicy.

If you are looking for a casual eatery with good drinks and comfort foods,Birds Nest is definitely worth trying out.“

“Went in. Was seated right away. Service was speedy and good.“

“Place has changed a lot, haven’t been there in 6 months and it’s totally different. Staff has been turned over for the better and service is way better and friendlier now. New management got this place turned around. Definitely be back can’t wait to try some new specials.“
