30 Best Bar & Grill near Port Barrington

“Great little place to hang out and grab a burger and chat with local folks“

“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“

“Had a blast watching MyMetalHeart
I didn't know there was a sit down restaurant upstairs. Others have said the food is really good there.
Updated review:
$3.50 for a can of pop, no more free refills.

Rewards program totally sucks. In September, I tried to load 3 receipts. They showed already loaded. My account did not show the receipts loaded.
So who loaded them?

Tried to log in to review my account, and it is completely jacked up. Cannot even log in or reset my password.
I was told today that servers ask you for your number? Since when. Asked my friends and they said never were they asked for a phone number, but they dont use the rewards program.“

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

“Wasn’t sure what to expect for a place just off the side of the road- but I was pleasantly surprised. This place has the largest variety of whiskey in the area. Highly recommend it for a night cap or just a drink with your SO. The staff is very friendly, as are the patrons. They also have a wall for gaming- if you enjoy gaming- and plenty of televisions.“

“Who doesn’t love an Irish pub? This is our favorite local place! Great food and the best Friday fish fry in northeastern Illinois. Best Brandy Old Fashioned I’ve ever had.“

“Stop! If you miss it, turn around! You’ll go, “Really? Golf balls and good food?” Yep, leave the clubs home - too cold for that - and don’t whiz by without stopping for a bite. There’s a reason so many cars are parked in the lot. The locals get it. Be a local!“

“Went for broasted chicken and it was terrific. Light crispy crust and delicious moist meat inside. The chips are house made, light and tasty. I had their house made soup -yum! The kitchen knows its stuff! Basically a bar with some tables but also some outdoor seating and big windows so it feels open. Really happy we came here! The staff was friendly and service was quick.“

“Dead End is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Sherry/Wilbur is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing pizza. Must come back. 10/10.“

“Had a great dining experience! Our server, Kelsey, was great. Our first time going to a restaurant with our little one. He has egg and peanut allergies and Kelsey went above and beyond to ensure the food we ordered didn’t have these allergens. The staff was very accommodating and the food was delicious. I ordered the corned beef. Fries were good and they have a nice selection of beer. Thank you Kelsey for making our first time eating out a great experience!“

“Definitely an underrated spot for fish fry and surprisingly good wings! They definitely cater to locals/regulars, but the staff is very friendly and are quick. The restaurant itself is a bit rundown and can get very loud and packed, but if you're fine with the noise, the heavy pours and delicious dinner makes it worth it!“

“Great time … great food…. Excellent staff !!! Good job guys !!!“

“If you want to sit by the water and enjoy a nice night out and great snack food (Italian Beef bites) and burgers, I recommend The Longshot. Go see Lisa on Friday night and tell her Krista and Lori sent you!“

“We decided to try this place for the first time and it turned out to be an amazing choice. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Every dish came out fresh and steaming, straight from the kitchen, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell they care about serving quality meals. It was a fantastic visit and we are already looking forward to coming back again.“

“I was there for a fundraiser last night. The food was really good, especially your salsa! Our server was attentive and kept track of our large group really well. We hadn't been there for a long time but will definitely be back again! Thank you so much.“

“Love The Doodle! Any questions or txt us!“

“If you haven't tried this place, I strongly recommend it. The DAILY specials are EXCELLENT. The Chopped Salad is so gooood. Staff is friendly. An overall 5-star experience.“

“The atmosphere is great, the food is amazing will be back for sure. I met the owner super cool guy and the bartender remembered my name! They are starting to have more music events which I'm very excited about.“

“They went above and beyond to make our cocktails (Dark and Stormy) when they were out of ginger beer...they went to a neighboring bar and got some! the ceviche was great too!“

“Great place to hang out and vibe food is AMAZING drinks are BOMB 💣“

“one of my favorite bars ! awesome staff , food, drinks, entertainment, even events !“

“love this place. great service and drinks. the food is well priced and delicious“

“Great time watching sand volleyball, pizza, IPA’s. Terrific venue, very reasonably priced.“

“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 👌“

“Benjamin Parada and I ate dinner at Wings Etc. tonight! We pulled up to the building and called the number listed clearly on the signs, with an employee's assistance our "take out" order was placed! Ben and I talked in the car just as we would have when we were inside the restaurant. However, sitting in the car and wearing a mask felt so much safer than being in the restaurant! Our food was out to our car very quickly. Wonderful delicious and amazing are words to describe the good wings! Date nights look so different with Covid but this was a super safe and fun date night!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience at Docks Bar & Grill. The service was excellent, the food was good, and everything came out fast. We also really enjoyed the conversations with the bartenders — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely engaging. I mentioned that I appreciated the TVs being on the same channel, because when multiple screens are on different channels, the flickering lights can be overwhelming for me. I’m disabled and live with Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) and CPTSD, along with chronic migraines. The sunglasses I wear help reduce light sensitivity from LEDs and neon lighting, and the staff was kind, open, and understanding when I explained this. It meant a lot to be treated with respect and curiosity rather than judgment. The bartender was friendly, approachable, and handled the conversation with warmth and professionalism. Great atmosphere, great people, and a place that makes you feel welcome. We’ll definitely be back.“

“love this place eeverything about it“

“Just picked a random restaurant while moving our college kid into his apartment. Had no idea but the food was fantastic and Rhonda our server was fabulous!!! We are all looking forward to the next time we are in town and my college kid can’t wait to bring friends!“

“The food was good, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.“

“We have been here twice in the last month and I can't believe I'm just discovering what a great place this is. The food we've had has all been delicious. The staff has been very friendly as well. Prices are average. Would recommend for sure.“
