50 Best Bars near Round Lake Beach

“I love this place! The people behind the bar and the customers are friendly. I’ve been there 4 different times. New Years Eve I went there with my daughter, she’s 42, we had a blast! I went there another time and they had 3 bands playing rock and roll. They were all great! I got people up dancing and then we really starting having a really great time! Another time I stopped in after church. I didn’t know anyone but everyone there felt like we were friends for years. Sorta like the TV show “Cheers”. I had a great time every time I was there. Again, I love this place!“

“As i went in i noticed it was clean the atmosphere was so calm and enjoyable the people were extremely kind the managers are so understanding and the staff really do a good job keeping it clean and the new manager Stephanie is so compassionate and understanding i will definitely go again“

“Si me gustó la comida . y tienen buen servicio. las meseras son muy amables“

“Visited during lunch of Veterans Day and had one of their free meals. The experience was one of the best. I do have to give a shout out to the floor manager/supervisor. It was amazing to see how engaged he was in the floor operation. From seating people, to filling drink orders, and wiping tables he was on it. Thank you for a great meal, and I appreciate what you do for Veterans each year.“

“A really great and unique find! Don't judge it by the exterior, as it's really nothing to look at outside but spectacular inside! Great drinks, wonderful mead made on site, and a well stocked bar. Totally worth your time to explore!“

“We had fish fry-baked cod, and baked perch, hush puppies, amazing potato salad and coleslaw. Really good! Pleasantly surprised! Good service, too.“

“My family and I came here for dinner tonight and I have to admit, this was such a great experience. The staff was absolutely amazing and the food was to delicious. The potstickers are an absolute must try. Especially after finding out they are house made! Great experience, great environment. Will absolutely be coming back!!“

“I totally enjoy the skill of all the wait staff, their ability to inform, enjoy conversation, and do the run down on what the band is like. Owners Tom & Karen are gregarious, fun, interesting people and provide GREAT talented local musicians. The music scene in Wauconda, Illinois is 10 out of ten...bar hopping encouraged. French Martini with Chambourg, an 11 and one drink, my limit...usually. Dancing...FUN! Especially when Karen agrees. Lol. And occasionally, or perhaps too often singing back up to Motown song fulfills my fantasy to be a Temptation, a Top, Little Stevie Wonder, or Marvin Gaye & Tammy Terrell. And yes, the Jackson 5. But there's no mountain higher than backup to a Supremes song, except for a Diana song, or Tina is Simply The Best! But Diana's he PEAK, & so is STRAWBERRY MOON. CHECK IT OUT. WAKANDA FOREVER, on Main Street“

“The best spot for craft beer & live music!!“

“Had their Clam chowder this evening as my app. nice bowl size serving of creamy chunky delisciousness, paired it with the lake perch dinner, fried to perfection, winner winner fish fry dinner. want to try the Cod next time. soo good.“

“Cute little bar with a big heart! H2P played there recently and the crowd was great. The bartenders are fast with drinks and a smile. Just wonderful people there, especially Nikki. We're playing there in July 27th 8 to 11pm. Looking forward to that night!“

“Great Fox river supper club with a bar next to their dock. We ate this evening and Rachael was our server. What a great server that added to our delicious food! We highly recommend Kiefs and ask for Rachael as your server. You won't be disappointed!“

“Great food, great staff!!!“

“What a delightful spot. Just what you want in a neighborhood bar. Stop by and meet some new friends. Love this place EXCEPT when someone jacks up the jutebox at 4 in the afternoon when everyone else is watching the news. We just left. Not everyone has your taste in music.“

“people are great here. a biker tie hangout for us regular gold as well as riders. good bbq, pizza etc. live music on most weekends. and, outdoor events as well.“

“Wonderful place to land!!!!“

“Shits and giggles all day!“

“We were in the area for the weekend and unfamiliar with the area. Searched for places that served fish fry nearby, and Kelly's pub was close by and had good reviews. We gave it a try and so happy we did. The wings were amazing! Big on flavor and size! Fish fry options were great. I got the Cod, and my husband had the lake perch. Outstanding. Happy we found this gem and will definitely be returning there when we're in the area again!“

“You know growing up i loved watching the TV Show 'Cheers'. The theme song says something about 'a place where everyone knows your name'... well that describes Bliss Wine Lounge for sure. No, they aren't a big bar like in Cheers, they are a local wine bar with a wide variety of wines for every budget. And the owner, Alex takes the time to connect with each of the patrons and quick to make a recommendation of a wine you will like. It's not fancy but you will feel welcome for sure. They will have live music from time to time and if you join the Wine Club you will get to experience a variety of unique wines that you wont find at the big wine stores. My wife and I love this place.“

“Just a note for any Google personnel reading this. I did not stop at this bar, and have no clue where it even is located. Sono idea why Google wants me to rate an establishment I have never visited. Very strange. Your system needs work.I'd give the review one star over Google screwing up. But that's not fair to the bar. 5 stars simply because their rating shouldn't suffer over Google maps being stupid. If this is a Google AI test, it failed miserably.“

“We recently had a celebration of life party. The place was perfect large windows looking out to the water. The staff especially Max was such a great help in making sure the place was set up to our liking. We had so many people say how nice the place was and they never knew it was there. Definitely a hidden treasure. Would definitely recommend for your next party.“

“I recently visited Lucky’s Penny, and I must say it’s an absolute gem! This place effortlessly combines the thrill of gaming, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere to create a perfect hangout spot. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance that set the tone for a fantastic evening.

One of the standout features is the variety of activities available. Whether you're looking to try your luck at the slot machines, engage in some friendly competition with a range of other games, or simply relax with a drink, Lucky’s Penny has it all. The slot machines were particularly fun, providing just the right amount of excitement and the chance to win some extra cash.

The food here is another highlight. We ordered the pizza, and it was outstanding. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings were fresh and flavorful, and the cheese melted just right. It’s evident that they put a lot of care into their food, and it shows.

And let's not forget the drinks! I was particularly impressed by the way they fill the beer glass, ensuring a perfect pour every time. The selection of drinks is extensive, catering to all tastes and preferences. Whether you’re a beer lover or prefer cocktails, there’s something for everyone.

Lucky’s Penny is more than just a place to eat and drink; it’s a complete entertainment experience. The combination of great food, fun games, and a vibrant atmosphere makes it a must-visit spot. I highly recommend Lucky’s Penny to anyone looking for a fun night out. It’s the perfect place to unwind, have fun, and make some great memories. Five stars all the way!“

“It’s a fun place to hang out!! Pool, volleyball, boat docks and a ramp to put your boat in“

“Very clean place, no frills neighborhood bar.The place needs to at least have a sign that says firehouse! It just looks like a plain white house, my friends have had a hard time trying to find it.At least paint a "Firehouse with fire trucks" or even better do huge flames ? to make it stand out. It always looks like it is closed, empty and uninviting.“
