41 Best Cocktail Bars near Park Ridge

“Elena, ryne, Matt. The staff at the pines room have an amazing vibe. The restaurant is small but that's the appeal. It's an amazing place to hang out and couldn't be a better spot as a regular bar. The drinks are very well made and the staff is very attentive and personable. 100% recommend to check out.“

“This was the best night out!! We went out with friends and shared multiple dishes (and so much wine.) The food was outstanding. The wine was so flavourful and we just kept ordering more. The Black Grape Crostini was probably the best I've ever had. Go here for a cozy and welcoming atmosphere with great food and team!!!!!“

“This place is the coolest bar I have been to in a long time, hip and fun but not pretentious. They paid attention to every detail when building and designing. The white marbel bar has clean lines and looks fresh. All of the hardware finishes look sharp and clean. The patio is large and inviting with a fire place and plenty of tables to sit at. The drink menu is creative and refreshing and the staff is kind and welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about this gem of a bar. I am excited to hang out this fall on the patio by the fireplace with good drink in My hand.“

“After entering the unassuming side door to Meadowlark we were greeted by a very friendly hostess. We were actually there to buy a gift card but decided to stay and check it out. The waiting area is separated from the main room and is quite small. We waited about 30 minutes to be seated. We loved the atmosphere right away. It was dimly lit with lots of dark wood and exposed brick walls. We were sat at a little settee with a small coffee table in front of it. We were greeting within a couple minutes and given drink menus. All of the cocktails are craft and very interesting. Our server explained that the menu rotates on a weekly basis. It was a space themed menu when we were there. Our drinks were delicious and very pretty in the individually curated glasses. We were pleasantly surprised at how quickly our drinks arrived. We chose a mixed olive dish and deviled eggs for small bites. We loved both. Especially the deviled eggs! We loved Meadowlark! The space is well thought out and cozy. The drinks were delicious and innovative and the service was outstanding. Come early because the wait can get long. You won’t be disappointed.“

“It’s the best. Great Bartenders and excellent cocktails“

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3“

“Decided to eat here last night, was not disappointed. From the second we walked in we were welcomed with open arms
I had the bacon wrapped dates and the calamari, both were excellent. Service was attentive and professional without being over the top. If your nearby and dont call in, your making a mistake.“

“Great variety and unique flavors. Great vibe.“

“Been here several times, always a blast and great drinks. Last visit was weird. Kinda stuffy. Bartender was uninterested and ok with letting customers wait along time before taking order. I hope things are not changing.“

“Like a flash back to the 70’s, before I could hold a cocktail but fancied doing so.....“

“You won’t ever get a watered down drink from Take Flight!

My wife and I have had tons of mini-dates here (I suggest Village Inn Pizza next door), we’ve shown up for game nights, and on weeknights I’ve gone solo just to have a few drink and get some work done too.

Whatever the occasion, if you’re looking for quality drinks and a comfortable place to sit for a while, this is it!

Also, you should order their pretzels.“

“Great happy hour daily 5-6pm The burgers are so good !! Always fun“

“we love everything there, food, service and atmosphere.“

“One of Julia’s greatest talents, she is always caring and calmed tense situations and prevented unpleasant confrontations. Julia’s professionalism and dedication adds great attraction to Richmond’s Sports Bar!“

“Very nice and friendly bartenders. They are very good at making any kind of drinks.“

“The concept for the menu is a unique trip along the Pan-American highway with stops at various Latin countries. Each dish and drink is thoughtful in its ingredients and presentation. The jicama salad was refreshing, but not at all plain. The pastel de choclo was a wonderful surprise of a warm dish. The frozen el arenal was seriously dangerous in how delicious it was, I can’t recommend it enough. The atmosphere was beautiful and the music was perfect. We are so thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood and can’t wait to see what they do in the future!“

“One of the best food spots in Chicago. Love the dip. Tried the French onion soup, incredible. Known for the burger, but everything is awesome. Cocktails are legendary. Hipster vibes and awful leg tattoos are abundant. Think of Austin,TX if it didnt have a dad.“

“Nice,clean,neighborhood bar for good time with friends. Everyone is welcome. All regulars are friendly and making good atmosphere for this little place. Is great for watching some sports or play pool. It is cash only and prices are good especially for Chicago.“

“Excellent food and ambiance, The brick chicken is my favorite. Our friends who have lived throughout the country said the pork chop is the best they ever had“

“A very pleasant “go-to” for a meal. Food is very good. Service is friendly but can be spotty depending. Location at Wilmette Golf Course is very nice with large windows overlooking golf course and outside seating. In the winter, the fireplace warms the view. Recommend.“

“If you're looking for a cozy hang out, on a cold evening, Nighthawk has some of the best dim lit vibes in the city. With a decent selection of spirits and a cocktail list, I love coming here to just enjoy the night. It's a huge bonus if Kristina, Sam, or Juan are tending the bar. Their booths are perfect for a group of 4 and they have a couple tables up front as well.“

“Great Drinks and Amazing Atmosphere. Our go to spot!“

“Смачно. Весело. Приємний персонал. Гарна музика👍🥂🤘🤙👍“

“Free hot dogs at midnight. Cool vibe“

“Pizza was great! The honey drizzles made the pizza and the mozzarella was so fresh! Music was trendy and drinks were well made. Attentive server 😊“

“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.“

“if there was ever a better Watering Hole In chicago. This Is It, hands down. Chris and his staff are superior at every aspect of being a classy drinking establishment. I recommend it highly, and Shop local all you lovely Neighbors.“

“We rolled in as some sleeveless thirsty travelers late night on a Thursday. We were bathed in nonchalant hospitality. The quality of a bar can stand on the legs of a Strong menu but it’s only excellent when you have exceptional staff. The Scofflaw has the sauce“

“Tried this place as it was recommended by a friend, and it was amazing! The cocktails were inventive and delicious, and the food, was SO good! The fish was so tender fresh and delicious! Even the rice was so sticky and great I could’ve made a meal of it. I feel like this place is a current hidden gem that once the word gets out, will be booked up months in advance with good reason. Go here tonight!“

“We had our daughter's 1st birthday there and it was perfect! Mary Pat was on top of everything from the beginning and helped plan the perfect event. Diego and Ally executed the day so everyone was taken care of. I highly recommend tavern on the point for any event!“

“It’s the orbit room with “hipster”. Still a great jaunt. Anyone who makes a whiskey sour with egg white is good in my book.“

“Love this place! We eat here frequently on Sundays!“

“Peace & blessings i am Dr. AMOS by name a traditional herbalist doctor I have the cure for all kinds of disease and infection with the help of natural herbal medicine which God has blessed me with I cure all kinds of ailments due to the health body system misbehaviour“

“Customer service is great. I had the roasted chicken and tamales. There were pieces of corn in every bite of the tamale, and the chicken was moist. Do not forget to try a margarita.“

“Professionalism. It's always a high energy, very sexy show.“

“Everyone at lLibertad was wonderful from the moment we walked in the door. We were celebrating a family reunion with 2 other couples and we all enjoyed our mela. The dishes were very creative and delicious. The service was excitement. Jothe was so attentive and accommodating. He was also so friendly and kind. Jenny also stopped by the table and welcomed us as we have had her as our server many times before. It is one of our “go to” spots and we love taking out of town guests to Libertad We'll be back!“

“baha restaurant 2nd Aniversario“

“Amazingly delicious food and drinks! Our waiter, Colin, is the best and the added bonus is that he looks like Adam Ruzek (Patrick Flueger) on Chicago PD.“

“Dance vibes and good food.. recommend the fish tacos“

“Great service! Tacos were worth the $2.50 and then some. Great people, really appreciate the effort.“
