33 Best Bar & Grill near Round Lake

“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.“

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

“Since its transformation into Taylor’s on Toft, this bar has established itself as one of Antioch’s most polished and welcoming drinking destinations. The owner—often found behind the bar—sets the tone with a warm, personable presence that immediately makes guests feel at ease. Her cocktail craftsmanship is equally impressive: the Manhattan is exemplary, balanced and precise, while the martinis are consistently excellent, executed with confidence and restraint. The ambiance strikes an ideal note—refined yet relaxed—making it a natural choice for a pre-dinner aperitif or a lingering post-meal nightcap. During a recent visit, a live singing group added a festive touch, infusing the space with genuine Christmas cheer without overwhelming the intimate atmosphere. While we have not yet sampled the food, dishes arriving at neighboring tables are beautifully presented and look enticing, suggesting the bar program is thoughtfully complemented by the kitchen. Taylor’s on Toft is a standout in Antioch: a place defined by gracious hospitality, expertly made cocktails, and an atmosphere that invites return visits. Highly recommended.“

“No Wake continues to be a favorite spot of ours. We are always sat quickly, and the service is super friendly. Location is great on the Fox River, and the food is great too! Menu is large with plenty of options for everyone. We have tried multiple appetizers and sandwiches/wraps and enjoyed them all. My husband is a huge fan of the burger which you can tell is made with fresh quality meat. Plenty of seating options inside but we especially enjoy the patio. Bonus points for allowing your pup outside and their own doggy menu is a cute touch.“

“What a great local place. Just had one of the best fried chicken dinners tonight. Homemade soups and dinners are always top notch. 😋“

“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!“

“disappointed in their lack of willingness to stand by their supposed convictions of supplying many forms of entertainment, then buckling under closed minded social pressure.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“Wow, just WOW. Words cannot begin to describe just how pleased I am with my dining experience. Friendly staff, great food, and amazing atmosphere are just some of the things that contributed to my unforgettable experience. Not only was there little to no wait time, the workers were very patient and kind towards me while I was ordering my food. After receiving my food, the least I can say is that I was simply blown away. The portion sizes are immaculate and the flavors are unlike anything I’ve had before. I will definitely be returning here for my future meals and I can’t recommend it to others enough.“

“Great little place to stop in for a drink or evening bar food. It's our neighborhood dive bar, and we love it. The owner is easy to talk to and has some great jokes. We love the "oldman" bar feel and like it just the way that it is, has pool table, darts and gaming.“

“As Toby Keith would say I Love this bar! I was lucky enough to get all of my sisters in one place for a whole day to hang out and just be together. We decided to spend the day in Libertyville. I live in the area but had never been to Morgan's. We stopped in for a drink and then decided to check into some other places before heading back to Morgan's to finish our day. The staff, the bartenders, the owner and the clientele were a blast. The chicken wings are awesome. The visit to this bar was the perfect end to my Birthday week. I can't wait to go back again and I highly recommend Morgan's for some fun.“

“Good food and the outside seating was good for a evening dinner. We highly recommend The Grove Pub and Grill.“

“good environment great food and the coolest beer you can have. #1 Sports Bar in Mundelein IL. if you go in there ask the female Bar tender Where's the GM Jeff at. she knows what I'm saying.“

“So much fun here. The pool table is only available during the winter, but outside there is a huge bar with lots of friendly people. We played bags with a couple guys who live near there and we had a blast! The bill wasn't big either. $20 for four large Modelos on tap, plus they have a bunch of other IPA's and goodies!“

“I just saw this online, so we drove an hour away from home to get here. We came night time, the food was just simple, the lady who assessed us was pretty good and attentive. I would say, must better to go here daytime, for it's beautiful ambiance.“

“We had a wonderful experience at RJ’s on the Lake! The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. Our food was delicious, fresh, and clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in both the kitchen and the customer experience. It’s a great spot to relax, enjoy a good meal, and feel right at home by the water. Highly recommend!“
