50 Best Bar & Grill near Schiller Park

“My band just played there. Great place for music food and drinks. Super friendly staff. 💯 recommended, add it to your list of watering holes 🍻“

“Awesome experience! The meal was delicious. We had salmon, Cuban Sandwich and grilled chicken and avocado sandwich. Those fries are delicious ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Awesome service too!“

“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.“

“Food was excellent, the service was prompt and friendly. You could really see the connection the staff has with the customers just seemed like a great place to grab some food and entertainment. Highly recommend!“

“awesome place thank you Jackie and Gio“

“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“

“I came from San Francisco to visit a friend and was interested in trying out a cozy neighborhood pub. This place gave me 'Cheers' vibes (loved the banter between the patrons and the proprietor) we got the BLT which was super tasty. Non-pretentious, good food-drinks + relaxed ambiance…just what we were searching for!“

“Great local spot. Good atmosphere and great staff 👍“

“Chrissy is Awesome and simply the BEST“

“Our band played at Whiskey River on a Friday and we had dinner and drinks there beforehand. Food was excellent, staff was awesome and very welcoming. Really cool crowd with a noticeably wide age range, everyone had a good time.“

“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.“

“Fun times, good people, drama free.“

“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.“

“Great Local Gem!! Love how they added karaoke on Wednesday.“

“great food, awesome atmosphere, and service was spot on. I'll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“Love this place, not enough to move to Illinois but if I did, I would be a regular. Thanks to our server/bartender for a great afternoon. We will be back when next in the area.“

“Romantic environment, feel warm and cozy“

“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!“

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

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

“Visited Chicago and initially had an awful experience at a nearby Applebees. Came here instead. The atmosphere was like walking into happiness. Everything was bright and clean. Staff were friendly and responsive. The food was delicious. Had an absolutely amazing experience. Wish I remembered our server’s name because she was amazing! Will absolutely return if we’re in the area.“

“awesome platform best one out there“

“Great Bar Great owner great bartenders“

“Salsa 17 has always been one of our families favorite restaurants. They have delicious food, great service and a casual fun atmosphere. Yesterday they went above and beyond for us. We were hosting a large party at our home and reserved a food truck from another business. 5 minutes before our party started we received a call that the food truck was not able to show up. I called Salsa 17 and with no notice they were able to cater a fajita bar for 40 people in just over an hour. The manager I spoke to was accommodating and so kind. The food was outstanding and plentiful. I highly recommend Salsa 17 for both in person dining and catering!“

“Great place to come and have conversation. Customers, drinks and food very enjoyable. Christine, makes you feel so welcome and makes you feel like family, always a hug coming and going. The people who work here, work hard. That’s the reason I shall Return Soon!!!!!!“

“Z is an awesome cook & bartender!!! I highly recommend the Greek Fries & Chicken Panini. He is super nice jack of all trades. He deserves a big bonus!!!!“

“Stopped into Sebastian's Ale & Whiskey House for a late lunch, and it was a great find. They have a large menu with plenty of options, plus some really good daily specials. The bartender was welcoming, attentive, and even pointed out where the specials were on the menu so I wouldn't miss them, which I really appreciated.

The atmosphere is perfect if you're looking to catch a game, with TVs throughout the restaurant. I was also impressed by how inclusive their menu is. In addition to a dedicated vegan menu, they offer a non-alcoholic drink menu with vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free options, making it easy for people with different dietary preferences to find something they'll enjoy.

Overall, it was a pleasant experience with good food, friendly service, and lots of choices. If I'm passing through the area again, I'd definitely stop in for another meal.“

“Great place to gather with friends and family! I love their wings and my husband enjoys their pizza and onion rings. Definitely a local staple!“

“I went this this establishment a couple weeks ago, the bartender Sarah was so attentive, charismatic, and on top of everything i actually went back because of the service. Every once in a while, you run across somebody that goes above and beyond the norm at their job, if I owned a bar, I would hire 10 Sarahs. I’m writing this review in hopes that the owner sees this and realizes what an asset Sarah is to her business. She makes you feel like u belong, she is so sweet and kind patrons don’t want to step out of line because the respect her. In an industry where it seems customer service has fallen off in recent years. It was refreshing to see someone do their job so well 10 thumbs up.“

“the owner is amazing! my first time ordering here, I thought i placed the order for delivery, instead it was for pickup. I called and the owner answered, I explained i didn't have a car at the moment and he personally delivered the order himself. I tried to give him a tip and he refused. the food was great and still hot by the time we received it. we will definitely be ordering again! thank you so much!“

“They recently updated their menu I noticed pasta fried catfish and one day I even noticed a seafood boil coming from the kitchen 🤷🏽‍♂️🥳👏“

“Great Drinks and Food is delicious!“

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

“Amazing place - first time here - Nichole was an amazing bartender- will be back with the family soon“

“Stopped in after a gig with my band….cool place to hang!“

“Great local bar with live DJ and other acts a fair amount of the time. Come to experience friendly staff and a cozy feel. Open mics and karaoke weekly are especially fun.“
