47 Best Bar & Grill near River Grove

“The crew tried it out & we had a great time actually. Small cozy space but plenty of room to breathe. The cute young bartender Michelle was AMAZING and she's beautiful. She was so sweet and attentive. Hard to find these days.. she had the next round ready to go before we were even finished. 10/10 service. Menus pretty small but she did a good job,we weren't there for the food anyway. Over good experience, will stop back soon. Awsome place, happy to give them my $“

“This was for a 65 yr. high school reunion. Although we didn't have enough people to have a private room, they set us up in such a way that it felt like we were in a private room. They made sure there was always fresh pizza and salad.Vegetarian options: We had vegetable and cheese pizza also salad as our vegetarian options.“

“The Wolfhound Pub offers a delightful experience with its exceptional food and cocktails, especially noteworthy are their espresso martinis and lemon drops which are truly outstanding. Brendan, Emily, and the entire staff create a warm and inviting atmosphere, making patrons feel right at home. Whether you're stopping by for a meal or drinks, expect nothing less than a consistently fantastic time at The Wolfhound.“

“This was our first time in as we just moved to the neighborhood and we loved it! We had come from dinner but decided we wanted some snacks. We had the fried pickles, pretzels, & ice cream with churros-- I was surprised but oh so happy they had some kind of dessert. The bartender was a super nice guy-- very friendly. He checked on us often and never left us waiting for anything. The interior was really cute and about what you expect for a corner/ neighborhood bar. We will for sure be back-- so glad we gave it a try!“

“Jay and his team are fantastic! This is absolutely one of the nicest bars in the neighborhood, and deserves recognition. We have had our company party here since they opened, and we have not changed venues as it is the best place to book your party!“

“We recently held our daughter's Birthday party at Logan 11. Everything from start to finish was delightful. Clint and his Staff did an amazing job with every detail. The food and drink selection they created was the perfect fit for our party!Vegetarian options: Good vege options“

“Food was pub style but just what you want if you want pub style. Wings, nachos, burgers, and fries were all very good. Beers are good and cold, mixed drinks are very, tall? Very friendly staff. Wishing them all the best in business. Did I mention the prices are so low you almost feel guilty? Could use better lighting and decor, perhaps in time.“

“Went there to see a band that a couple of people I knew are in. Enjoyed them.There were a lot of us - putting space at a premium. The food and drinks were good and reasonably priced. Because of the crowd, service was a bit slow but still capable.“

“Best Burgers! Took my husband there once and now I can't get him to go anywhere else. His words "Why chance somewhere else when Kuma's is always on point!" The Burgers are huge with a new Burger of the Month that keeps the menu fresh.Every Burger is delicious and totally different making it impossible to pick one. Also you can substitute the beef with Chicken! ? Atmosphere is great with cult classic movies playing behind the heavy metal music. Oh and let's not forget the beer/liquor selection!“

“We heard their fries were awesome and had to give it a try. We chose to go around 4pm on a Saturday and beat the dinner crowd, sat at the bar and had speedy service all around. They also have wood bar toppers to give you for food orders at the bar since the way the bar top is originally built isn't the best for eating. There is a decent tap list and their duck fries were as good as claimed. I can't speak for their busier times but when we went it was clean, we were greeted and our food came out quick. Overall, it's worth a try to decide for yourself.“

“I have been here a few times and always had great, friendly service. They have a huge menu that the variety to suit early anyone, including my vegetarian daughter. It all sounds delicious. I haven't had a bad order yet. And their beer selection is pretty broad as well and very competitively priced.“

“Stopped in with my sister (missed a bus had to wait) and I am so glad we did. We caught the last hour of Happy Hour and tried the wings... Amazing and the sauces served on the side is just a great idea. I was able to try them all. Not a bad one in the bunch. Will be back.“

“Got a drink here on Saturday night and there was more than enough space for us! I liked how we got to decide if we wanted to sit on the quiet side or the bar side. The signature mule was amazing and my partners drink was made exactly to his liking.“

“The Black Sheep Bar is an absolute hidden gem that exceeded all expectations. The 9-foot diamond pool table was a highlight of our visit, providing a unique and enjoyable gaming experience. Amy, the bartender, was not only incredibly sweet but also showcased an impressive knowledge of the extensive drink menu. Her recommendations were spot-on, making our evening all the more enjoyable. Meeting the owner, Silva, was a pleasant surprise, adding a personal touch to our experience. The Black Sheep Bar is a must-visit for those seeking a fantastic atmosphere, exceptional service, and a touch of authenticity.“

“Pleasantly surprised by this place located on Bryn Mawr between Kedzie and Kimball. The initial impression was that the prices on the menu seemed a bit high given its location. And some dishes like hummus plate, which consisted of cut up carrots and cucumber with pita bread and a large spoonful of hummus, was not worthwhile at $14. Same goes for a bowl of Irish cabbage soup for $10. Having said, other items like chicken wings and burgers were quite delicious and were worth paying little more for them. Given their great beer selection and wonderful cocktails, it is worth a visit.“

“My husband and I have been coming here for years. The owners, Chris and Nikki and the bartender, Monica are always welcoming and take good care of us. Nice atmosphere, good company, lots of tvs if you want to watch the game, great music playing in the background. The food is always very good and freshly made. Some of our favorites are the chicken kabobs, the Jerry's Special, and the burgers, which are excellent! Half price martinis on Wednesdays with a long list of options to choose from. We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday there and they were very accommodating and everyone had a great time!“

“My first visit there. Saw promo on TV. However, I was not aware that there was a cover charge. I assume coverage for the live entertainment. I enjoyed both the Irish band music and the Trinity Children Dancers. The food was right on point! Authentic Irish corn beef/cabbage. It was a bit crowded and noisy, but that was to be expected--it was St. Patrick's Day!“

“A Chicago-style 'beer before' and 'beer and a shot' after work drinking establishment. Wonderfully unpretentious with excellent bartenders. We spent most of our time drinking, so no complaints on the price. Washrooms could use a little more attention, but not a deal breaker.“

“After driving home from a long day, I stopped by for a beer after work. I’ve never been there before and I was just frustrated from traffic. So I stepped inside for an hour. Music was great, sports on TV, drinks were affordable. I would definitely go back!!“

“Amazing!! I thought Au Cheval was the best ? until I tried Burger 89. We ordered Guacamole and Salmon Salad, and it was so delicious. It's not over-priced and I could tell that it's a quality food. I like this place a lot and I would recommend it.“

“Me and my friends were looking for a last min place! When I tell you we found a freaking gem! Gabby was amazing she sent us shots called chocolate cake!!!!! She literally told us it would be a science experience in our mouth … when I tell you it didn’t disappoint at all!!! We will be back everytime …. A gem I tell you :) thank you for welcoming us with open arms and taking care of me and my friends… forever customers on this Thursdays night“

“Do yourself a favor and grab some friends for karaoke and Korean food at AGIT. A group of us went on a Saturday night and we had a karaoke room for 2hrs. Depending on the size of your group they may add a few chairs in so everyone can fit. Once you're in your room you can start with the karaoke session and in the corner of the TV tells you how much time you have left of your session. They also have instructions on the wall for how to use the remote to choose songs and how to use the control. You can press a button and a staff member will come and wait on you. We ordered a handful of stuff to share family style. We had the bulgogi, fried chicken, seafood pancake, tteokbokk. There was plenty of food to go around and everything I ate was enjoyable. It was so much fun being in a private room and eating delicious food. I wish they would have had plates instead of the paper boats because you can't fit much in the boat and maybe some serving untensils for the dishes. But minor things I could look past. They are located in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking avaliable.“

“Met a friend here for dinner. I glanced at the menu before arriving & there were several tasty sounding items. My friend & I split the tuna poké with chips ? I ordered the Derby Burger which was mouthwateringly delicious. My friend ordered the Greek chicken with Naan which also looked yummy & my friend confirmed. Our waitress was training but she did a great job ?? I would be more than happy to return!“

“Great bar! Like a REAL bar, where you can grab a beer and a shot, talk Chicago sports and neighborhood with Regulars, helmed by a great bartender, Ken. Bonus Points... having an incredible name (Bringer Inn, love that) and being right next door to, arguably, Chicago's BEST Deep Dish pizza.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gotti's Cucina Bar and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The service provided by the staff was top-notch, they were attentive, friendly, and made me feel very welcomed.Now, let's talk about the wings - they were absolutely fire! The flavors were bursting in every bite and the perfect balance of spice and tanginess left me wanting more. I can confidently say that Gotti's Cucina Bar serves some of the best wings I have ever tasted.The atmosphere of the restaurant was also amazing. The ambiance was cozy yet vibrant, and it created the perfect setting for a great meal with friends or family. The overall vibe was energetic and inviting, making it a place you would want to visit again and again.I highly recommend Gotti's Cucina Bar to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. The service, wings, and atmosphere all exceeded my expectations. You won't be disappointed!!!!“

“The chicken sandwich is a favorite!! Mary is a great cook. Don't sleep on the food here. If Mary's cooking - get it! Also, she does some great game day specials - nachos, etc. Good snacks. Good beefs, good sausages, and the best chicken mozzarella bacon sandwich on a hoagie.“

“This place is within walking distance from my house, so I decided to check it out tonight. The menu is small but the food was good and it was quite busy when we left. I took my daughter, who is 16. It was fine for her, but I wouldn't recommend taking a younger child there.“

“Tasty flavorful burger and some of the best fries I've had. Homemade, hot and crunchy right out of the fryer. Dinner with several drinks for two was like $50, so very affordable. I will be back and can't wait for warm weather to try out the beer garden.“

“First visit to see Harold and The White Boys. Met the owner and son Joe. Nice, hardworking folks. Had burgers drank beer and enjoyed Harold's talents. Great friendly crowd. Westmont downtown is a peaceful locale with easy parking galore. Thanks for having us over.“

“We came here after a zoo day and the entire family enjoyed it. We got the cheese curds and Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and they were both delicious. The fish tacos were great, but the corned beef tacos were out of this world! Highly recommend this place for an afternoon lunch or family dinner.“

“Great atmosphere, the staff are friendly, welcoming and engaging. I'll go back just for the customer service. I had their wings and they were very good. I'm definitely trying something different next time. Can't wait to come back.“

“For Friday date night it was perfect! Appreciated the security safety first right. Service was good, they waste no time to clean up. The food, best i had, seriously returning for the food for sure. It was authentic, homemade delicious. We started with a bucket of Estrella beers, tried the Michelada since they are known for the best of Chicago and a cantarito. So good! Music, TVs, everything was nice. For a Friday it was busy but it felt very chill. It was a perfect Friday night. Thank you!“

“Wanted something different for lunch and went to Tommy’s and was pleasantly surprised. When you walk in the bar is right there and the dinning area was in the back along with gaming.Darlene was the server/bartender and was pleasant and helpful with the menu making food suggestions.Pizza was half off! Philly steak was very good. Fries were mushy and oily.Beer selection was decent and wall decor was entertaining!Great place for a burger and brew!“

“Frankie was the absolute best. She was so funny and kept the drinks coming. It is so hard to find someone so charming and caring now a days. Filoneks really hit the jackpot with her. Did not hurt she was so beautiful as well. Definitely will be back“

“They are a great option for family dining. They gave us specialized attention for a bday party and made us feel incredibly welcomed while the guest of honor was treated extremely kindly and given even more specialized attention. And the food was great too!“

“Basic sports bar. It's located in Norridge not close to anything interesting. Newbe's actually is pretty good to be honest, much better than expected for sure. Has the basic drinks and food. There's also gaming. A few way to keep entertained. It has video poker and slots. There was one woman who never moved from the one slot machine the entire time. As for the rest of the stuff, it has pretty average drinks and food. It's about $6 for wells. Basic liquor selection. The food is mostly fried and greasy things. About $3 for fried appetizers. The rest of the menu is meaty stuff. Good stuff as far as entertainment. It has slots. There's not that much else interesting but it's a nice neighborhood hangout if you're around it though.“

“Vegetarian options: Just ask for some vegetarian options and they can make items without ingredients with most dishes.Parking: Parking in lot on street and also have parking across the lot believe it's 4 hours during day and no problem at night. IWheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and one floor level no stairs.“

“Friendly Bartenders and amazing drinks is why we come back. Our 3rd visit was welcoming and friendly. The hot honey wings is our favorite as as the sweet hot chili flavor. Bartender went and checked on the guests out in the patio. Felt taken care of. Good job guys!“

“I cannot believe that no reviews or comments have been made about this business! They have great servers/bartenders! They have beanbag tournaments during nice weather months. Their food is outstanding! I had one of THE BEST corned beef sandwich on St Patrick's Day I've ever had! They have video gambling, which is fine if that's your thing. Outdoor bar is nice during warmer weather! Parking is enough for their size. It's unique inside with authentic plane parts, including helicopter landing gear for the bars kick plate. Jimmy the owner is very friendly and will buy you a drink/shot when he's there and his son, Chase, is a fabulous cook! Conveniently located minutes from O'Hare airport!“

“Cold drinks and loving atmosphere!I love there Wings & huge juicy Burgers, They always got great drink specials everyday!.The place is so clean Everytime I go there! It's my second home ? the staff is amazing the new guy Ed is a Rockstar!“

“Came here for a birthday party and they catered. Thats the only reason I gave food no stars. I have no idea how the food is because I didn’t have the chance to try it. We were all dancing later in the night on the dance floor. But be warned, a lot of guys will stare. Have fun with your girls to be safe. Bathrooms only fits one person at a time unless you wanna get kicked out.“

“This is one of those gem bars on the Southside of Chicago. The atmosphere is awesome - not too loud so you can actually have a conversation. The food is top notch with the burgers being some of the best you'll ever eat. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. Overall, a must visit bar/restaurant.“

“My husband found BCT online and decided it sounded good. I am so glad we went with his find because BCT was delicious! I hesitated when we pulled up because our kids were with us, however it was perfect! The whole family was welcomed in, the staff was so friendly and helpful! I loved that the menu had some personality and they clearly like their cheeses! We will definitely stop by again during our next trip to the area.“

“In the age of “trendy dive bars”, Social Junkie still holds on to the old school of a bar:Good drinks, good food, good music and some bar games. Everything is very well priced, in fact it might even be cheap by city prices.Staff are friendly and engaging.Parking: Parking right outside the venue. No charge.Wheelchair accessibility: Venue offers wheelchair access throughout.“

“Such great food! What a great atmosphere! They are very simple and they let you customize what you like. I got a burger and some fries and it was delicious, cooked perfectly. I got a root beer in a bottle and that was good too. I'll definitely be coming back.“

“This place is awesome! Just moved to the area. Burger is outstanding, bartenders friendly (they put up with a lot from rowdy regulars). For $6 you get an amazing burger and fries, I left very impressed. Every neighborhood needs a great local like this glad I live so close.“

“Stopped in for lunch, though me and a coworker were the only guests we felt very comfortable and the bartender/waitress was very friendly. While the menu is not very large I asked if they had lengua, they did not. But the bartender offered a dish that was made for the staff, she called it Trumpbo? Translates to mouth of pig? Im sure im butchering this.. but my GOD.. it was some of the most delicious tender pork I have ever had. Not gamey/barnyard at all. Prepared just excellent.. can't describe it well enough do it justice. Their chef is a master.. if your lucky enough ask for it next time your in, they dont have it all the time but hopefully you can get lucky and enjoy what the cook/staff enjoy.. i felt very fortunate to be able to enjoy this treat from the kitchen. Thank you Dos Diablos! I will definitely be back when in the area.“
