28 Best Sports Bars near Round Lake Park

“A Storied place, legendary for its erstwhile pool leagues, with patron owners, a static stock of barristas and "Cheers" regulars, a kitchenette for pizza and wings, fairly lucky slots, live bands, bingo nights, and best of all, "Kevo" the maestro who runs Karaoke, sings withal, and DJs like a pro.“

“Best food and service EVER!!! We attended a wedding reception there. We had an amazing BIG soft pretzel and brussel spout flakes, they tasted like candy, yum. My husband had the BBQ ribs, BEST ribs and BBQ sauce EVER, I had the orange chicken again BEST orange chicken I've ever had. Our nephew had the Tim's challenge and he ate it all and got a cool tee shirt. Highly recommended. And did I mention the AWESOME customer service!!!“

“Stopped by the Kenosha Public Market today to get Mijo’s tacos for the whole family. I just love the chorizo tacos. Their food is always a hit. Friendly service too.“

“Happened to be in Antioch with my daughter and stopped in The Lodge for a late lunch. I had one of the best, if not the best chicken wrap with fries. It was wrapped, then heated on the outside, delicious. My daughter had a grilled cheese with tomato with onion rings, she loved it. We were too full to eat desert, but we took a piece of homemade tiramiso with. It was a slice of heaven. Great service and wonderful food“

“We were in the back room and it was noisy. The music was nice and not the problem...just the size of the room and the number of people in it. We were at long tables and it was difficult to get in and out. Our server was very nice and did his best to be attentive but the used plates did not get cleared. The variety of food was great and I LOVED the complimentary mimosas. Thank you for a nice event!“

“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!“

“04/04/2024After my son's Navy Boot Camp graduation, he expressed to me and his dad that he was in need of a fat, juicy, and delicious hamburger with some SWINE on it, lol. He stated that he was tired of the military food that he had to endure during basic training. I found this restaurant on Yelp and I'm so glad that I did.Upon entering this establishment, we were greeted by one of the friendliest hostesses that I've ever encountered. She asked if we preferred a table or a booth and I was happy that she gave us the choice on where we would like to be seated. She handed us the menus and told us to enjoy our visit. Next, our server came over and introduced herself as Angelica. She was also friendly and welcoming. Angelica exercised great customer service skills and professionalism.Moreover, for our drinks, my son ordered a lemonade, hubby ordered an Arnold Palmer, and I ordered a White Sangria cocktail and a Golden Honey Margarita on the rocks with salt on the rim. We all enjoyed our drinks, especially me, lol. The White Sangria was refreshing and bubbly. I think I liked it more that the Golden Honey Margarita, which was also tasty.As for our food, we started out with some appetizers while we browsed the menu. We started off with the spicy shrimp and the crab fondue. Although they were not spicy at all, I absolutely loved the spicy shrimp appetizer! They were flavorful and fried to perfection with a nice crunch to them and drizzled with a red sauce. The crab fondue tasted amazing and would have tasted even better if I did not have to play tug-of-war with the toasted bread that it was accompanied by. That bread was so darn hard that I felt like I was going to pull my teeth out from all the pulling and tugging, which discouraged me from fully enjoying this appetizer. I let my son and my husband have at the crab fondue while I stuck with the spicy shrimp, lol. My son was so hungry for some food other than military food that he didn't seem to notice how hard the bread was. He and my husband devoured every bit of it, lol.Now for our main entrees, my son knew right away which burger he wanted as he looked at the menu. Remember he stated he wanted a burger with some SWINE on it? Well, there was a Bacon Cheese Burger sitting on the menu with his name written all over it. My husband is a burger lover as well, but chose a burger without the swine, the City Works Burger. I ordered something a little on the healthier side, pan seared salmon accompanied by a mixture of vegetables which included butternut squash, Brussel sprouts, tomatoes, and corn. We all enjoyed our food to the upmost. Everything was absolutely delicious! My son said that his bacon cheeseburger was soooo good and that the bacon was nice and crispy. My husband said that his burger was divine. They were both so fat-full by the end of our son's celebration meal and were sitting slumped over in their seats, lol. The salmon on my entree was cooked to perfection, possessing a moist and flaky interior with a juicy and tender texture. The vegetables were as equally as delicious as the salmon.Overall, City Works is a lively establishment with a vibrant and energetic ambiance that serves great tasting modern American cuisine. It is centered in the Mellody Farm Shopping Complex of Milwaukee Ave. in Vernon Hills. They are fully equipped with several large HDTV's which is great for sports fans and such. Customer service is amazing. I highly recommend them for anyone who is from out of town visiting the Chicago area. You will definitely find delicious and excellent quality food here! Thanks for making my son's graduation celebration dinner an awesome dining experience. We felt right at home! It was as if we never left Houston.“

“It's easy to drive past this place. I wouldn't pass it up, though. Good deals every day of the week allow for great meals. For not so much money. Save your money for your drinks and cheers to the good service. Felt welcomed and well taken care of.“

“I came to try the meat loaf stack and my wife the steak sandwich. We thought the food was delicious, and the service was great. We arrived a little before 5 on Friday which was a good time because the restaurant filled up quickly after wards. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Usually, we've been to Jesse Oaks for parties or an evening cocktail, but now that we have a toddler, we've switched gears and have been grabbing breakfast.I need to say that everyone is ALWAYS nice and friendly! They are SO attentive and thoughtful of our little one as well. One of the girls offered to let our girl color!But onto the food! It continues to exceed our expectations and is honestly a great value for how much you get. We like that we can really ENJOY breakfast, especially since the dining area is spacious. It's easy to carry a kiddo and their supplies or pick up dropped toys without bumping into someone's back. PLUS, it's finally PATIO SEASON, and breakfast isn't excluded here!Kid-friendliness: Breakfast is completely kid friendly, even stress free depending on what kind of a day your kid is having!“

“I'm definitely a fan of this place. There's cornhole (or as I like to call it), plenty of pool tables, and delicious food! The only downside is that you have to be 21 to enter. However, the music here really sets the mood. Renting a table and pool for 2 hours cost us around $30, but it's still worth it for a fun time with friends or for a date.“

“We love Steve's! Steve and Rita are the best, and so is the bartender Liz! It's one of our favorite places to hang out and play some darts. The backyard in the summer is beautiful, your surrounded by flowers, with a beautiful wooden swing and volleyball court. Definitely should check it out.“

“Went here for the first time a few weeks ago the staff and owner were super friendly and welcoming. I decided to go back to eat a few days later with my family all the food was great and we are quite picky!! This will definitely be one of our new go tos whether it be for lunch/dinner or just a quick beer. Very happy we tried it out!Kid-friendliness: Was nice to be able to bring my kids in on a Sunday for lunch and not feel like we were out of place. Kids were happy with the food as well !“

“I mean I know I review 5 stars almost every time, but that’s because I give props where props are due. I had the double smash burger and it was Aaaaaaamazing! Cooked to perfection. Thank you for being our hidden gem. Every time we choose the Side Lot… we go home happy.“

“We celebrated my father's 80th birthday at the pub and we couldn't have been happier with the service, drinks and the food. The staff was very attentive to our needs. I can't thank them enough for making our party such a memorable experience.“

“Stopped in for Taco Tuesday and it did not disappoint. Huge tacos with nice spicy ground beef. Was really sorry to hear husband George was killed in a car accident 4 months ago. Support This Local Business!“

“I've had the privilege of stopping by the Squaw Bar on several occasions and have enjoyed every visit. What is refreshing about this establishment is that it's cozy and not over refined like other establishments. This means that one can get to know just who they are enjoying the company of. The Squaw Bar even has the latest technology that blends in well with a good old fashion campfire by the sands. I'm speaking of .SVG TV... no not your regular run of the mill squabbles from all over the globe but a personalized cast of stars that light up the evening sky. Take for example the ale tale of Helen Liz Hunt. It's an October ghost story told at this time in the light of the Hunters Moon. The legend says that Helen walks the .3 mile route from Hunt Ave on a westwards journey. She crosses Helendale Road and arrives at the Squaw Bar in search of dark rye and molasses bread 🍞. Helen pays for her meal in Indian Rupee legal tender and enjoys the Raisins And Honey as the Sultan as played by myself offers her a 🍔 hamburger bear hug.“

“I can not say enough good stuff about this place! We visit here frequently, and have had most of the items on the menu, down to the shepherds pie. One of their bus fares is the delicious pizza and smoked wings. If you want some thing to really look at the pretzel, it’s absolutely gigantic and tastes delicious. Their service here is wonderful and they are very attentive. The bartenders are incredibly fast and very skilled at what they do on a busy night during a live band he will get a drink faster than any other place in town. The bartenders are incredibly fast and very skilled at what they do, check them moving on a busy Friday or Saturday night, especially during a live band, 4 people deep you will he will get a drink faster than any other place in town. The beer is delicious. Lots to choose. They often have a great draft options and a good selection of flavors and textures for all beer enthusiasts. Don’t forget about your hard friends, yes yes ? they offer an assortment of whiskeys and spirits. I can go on and on, but you have to come check it and make a reservation. Doug is a great ?? helper! Please be sure to check out their Facebook page with everything Mickey Finns. I know this sounds like I work here but I promise I really just enjoy this restaurant!!“

“Nice place to get away and enjoy the afternoon“

“I am an event photographer and am at WhirlyBall often. The venue has a lot to offer including dance area, games, cars and laser tag. The staff are great and organized. Venue has easy parking and offers a variety of food items. Check it out.“

“So, we usually head here after playing volleyball. It has really become a place where most of the locals go. It is a very interesting atmosphere cause most visitors know each other and bartenders know customers by name. You get a homely vibe when you enter. Great beer selection. The owner goes out of his way to introduce new beers from local or distant breweries. This place is one of the few which carries Zombie Dust from Three Floyds. Again, they have a great selection of beers. There is also gaming there. The food comes from Rosati's which is next door. Can't go wrong with having some wings, fries and pizza while enjoying drinks with friends. The bartenders make you feel welcomed which is a good reason to return often.“

“There are lots of places to get wings now but this place, at least in northern Lake County, is the best place for them. Service is always good and friendly. Good selection of beers and cocktails too! Highly recommended for a casual meal with friends to enjoy great wings.“

“Sideouts is an awesome place to eat, drink, bowl or watch live music! Huge outdoor patio with tvs, music, baggo, violleyball and so much more. The food is excellent, the pizza is some of the best around! Summertime they have car shows, bands in the sand concerts, and many other events. You gotta check this place out!“

“This is a busy place and a great place to watch sporting events. TVs all around and huge one on the east wall for the main dining room. They also have an outdoor seating area and a large bar (always packed). The pizza, nachos and beer nuggets are solid but I really enjoy the chopped salad and coleslaw. I don't usually like coleslaw but I love it here!“

“We had a great time at the bulldogs fundraiser and our first time here. The Ceasars wrap was great! Kids enjoyed the wings.It was also very reasonably priced for 6 of us. The bathrooms were clean and the staff was wonderful!Definitely recommend for a nice local place and a quick and easy lunch spot!Kid-friendliness: Seems very kid friendly!“

“First time random choice visiting the area from Chicago. Obviously very popular (the best sign) with the locals and the food (and price) was great! So was service from busser to server to manager who checked in with us. Perfect casual spot!“

“It did not disappoint I had high expectations because of all the good reviews. Excellent pizza and bar service. I had the pleasure of running into one of the cooks. Big guy with brown hair. I did not catch his name but he seemed like a great guy and whipped up some delicious food faster than I could drink a single beer. He really made me feel like I was in a comfortable family style environment where I could put a smiling face to the delicious food. My girlfriend put in a complicated custom order and he did not flinch or get a single thing wrong. If that guy is not a partner in the restaurant and then he needs to be paid well because it seemed as though his heart was in it, so the love comes out in the food.Dietary restrictions: My girlfriend is very picky and wanted her toppings put on in a very particular order. Most places usually botch her orders but this guy nailed it and was a gentlemanly good sport about it even though she is a tough customer.“

“My 1st time here, I did enjoy the atmosphere, but the food was average. I was surprised that I couldn't request how I wanted my beef cooked. I always want it well done, but my server said that all meat has to be cooked medium, so I took a chance at it. I saw too much pink, and had to pick through my patty melt. Was disappointed, but the seasoned fries were very good! The Kenosha curds were good, but over fried. They seemed like they're not battered in house, but pre frozen. So I won't order those again. Our server was not very friendly, just average. I did like my razzmatazz margarita, but had too much h ice in it. I definitely enjoyed the Live Band that was performing!“
