50 Best Bar & Grill near River Grove

“Went here for lunch and had the appetizers. Excellent! Met Noreen who is super nice. Felt very comfortable here. Neat neighborhood cafe and bar.“

“Fantastic food, wide assortment of drinks, friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent ambience. One of my favorite places in the city.“

“We stopped in for brunch on the recommendation of our son, who said he’d heard good things about the Wolfhound. He was right! Great food and atmosphere and the owner is a great guy!“

“The food came out in generous portions. MI vs. MN game and White Sox streaming with drink specials ($5 Modelos and Mimosas) to go along.

The server, delightful middle-aged guy in rainbow tie-dye treated us well!

The patio looked awesome (tho’ we chose a high top).

2:00 and their brunch and lunch menus were being served. Their croissant breakfast sammie and their BLAAT on sourdough were served with fresh arugula. The American fries and French fries were really good!“

“We absolutely loved this place! The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the smashburgers; they were incredibly tasty and cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor in every bite. I ordered the passion fruit margarita at ut was perfect. We can’t wait to return!“

“Stopped by for the Guinness but decided to have dinner as well. The shepherds pie and the castleisland baked onion soup were both delicious. The Guinness was great too. Our bartender was very friendly and service was excellent. We'll be back!“

“Food was delicious, wish they would’ve offered a box for the rest of my fries though instead of tossing them. Would like to come back again to try more of their burgers“

“We had a wonderful time going for the first time for a friend’s birthday. Our server Micky was so friendly and accommodating! The owner generously comped some drinks for us as first time customers. The plantains with the onion-forward dipping sauce were phenomenal. The Brussels sprouts had a lovely balsamic glaze topped with creamy goat cheese. Several of us ordered burgers with side salads, and the greens were of high quality. The standard vinaigrette offered was a wonderful blend of tangy and subtlety sweet. The smash burger patties were cooked well with crisp edges while maintaining a juicy interior. The garlic parm fries had a crisp exterior and fluffy texture. Everything was phenomenal, and Micky even helped us with the cake our friend made and brought. Do yourself a favor and come check this spot out!“

“We were greeted by friendly staff and patrons as soon as we walked in on a Sunday evening. We were asked what we wanted to drink right away and even though the taps blew we were led to other options. The food menu was the perfect size and the bartender answered all of our questions and even made us laugh a few times. The food was cooked right in front of us and it tasted so freaking good. Perfect bar.“

“Great food, staff and music.“

“We held a celebration of life for my brother here today. About 50 in attendance in the stylish, comfortable upstairs area. Despite the fact that I planned this from 400 miles away and without having ever seen the venue, it went off without a hitch due to Mr. David Candiotti and his staff. No surprises. Everything was as promised. The venue is extremely stylish and rustic. Food was delicious and plentiful as were the drinks. Service was fast, efficient and friendly thanks to Mona, Alberto and Olena. I highly recommend.“

“As soon as you walk in the door you realize that it’s not a bar - it’s a comfortable shoe, a true neighborhood joint that is congenial and friendly. Love the signs such as Hamns Beer $ 3 every day and Chicago sports photos on the walls; excellent tavern style pizza ! Love the history behind the building It’s a classic that reminds of the bars in my hood on the Southside of Chicago“

“A big thank you to both our waitresses/bartenders and the chef cooking up the most amazing Friday fish Fry and oysters Rockefeller. Everything from food, drinks, and service were above and beyond. We will definitely return to check out the rest of the menu.“

“My wife and I ate here on a whim and had the best time! Zero complaints about the service or food. Whenever we're back in town, they'll be high on our list to revisit.“

“Buen ambiente y buen servicio.“

“spots in the area to watch a Bears game. The energy is perfect — TVs everywhere, great sound, and the crowd actually feels like a community.

The food is consistently great (way above typical bar food), and it’s obvious the ownership really cares about the place. You can tell in the details — the place is spotless, from the front tables to the bathrooms, and everything feels well run.

The bartenders are fast, friendly, and know their stuff, whether you’re ordering a draft, a cocktail, or just asking what’s good to eat. Service is always quick even when it’s packed, and you never feel ignored.

If you’re looking for a clean, well-run bar with great food, great service, and the perfect setup for a Bears Sunday, Filonek’s is the spot.“

“Chrissy is Awesome and simply the BEST“

“Jas T was such an amazing host/ bottle girl. She made sure she took good care of us so please book with her. Me and girls came here for the start to my bachelorette weekend and baby we had a ball! Whenever we travel back to Houston we will return!“

“I had heard so many great things about this place and was really excited to finally try the food 🍔🤤. Unfortunately, I found out they only allow guests who are 25+, so I wasn't able to eat there 😕. It would be awesome if they offered a takeout option for people who can't get in. I was definitely disappointed because I came hungry and had been looking forward to the meal 😅. The only positive part of my visit was that the security staff were very respectful and polite 👍. Hopefully they'll consider adding more accessible options in the future!“

“Romantic environment, feel warm and cozy“

“Great Place. Love the food and great service.“

“THE BEST place to eat drink in SUMMIT, ILL,,,“

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

“awesome platform best one out there“

“The Ambuance is amazing... Super chill and laid back... Regulars take a little while to warm up to new comers but when they come around they are some of the friendliest ppl I ever met... Pool playing is pretty big there so If you like to play some serious pool then this is a good place to come... Prices are good for everything here... They have tvs for all kinds of sports but usually no audio because jukebox music is playing... Super cool place to hang out for a little bit.“
