50 Best Beer Bars near Skokie

“simple, fresh, and amazing“

“Our server was amazing! Had a wonderful time ❤️“

“dope as food fire beer🔥🔥🔥“

“Had my birthday dinner 🍽 there. Great place. Milwaukee, WI“

“I had the mac and cheese with the steak on top absolutely divine🤍“

“Honestly, a great bar with good beer. It loses a star because almost every night, one of their bartenders sits outside and very loudly revvs his motorcycle before leaving. I live very close and it is very disturbing. If someone in marketing sees this review please tell him to be more considerate.“

“The guacamole 🥑 was amazing with the chips. Ribeye steak 🥩 was a great pairing with the pasta. Amazonian ice cream 🍨 was delicious. and a shot of espresso to finish was a very good combination of everything. Service was wonderful. Overall a great experience.“

“We had to wait for about an hour for a table but it was sooooo! worth it :) the Beaujolais that my friend got was phenomenal, I was jealous that I had opted for a martini.

We all got a burger which was 10/10, cooked perfectly and extremely flavorful. we shared the boccarones which I highly recommend and the gnocchi which was good but perhaps not paired well with something as heavy as a burger — thought the flavors might be a bit lighter/brighter.

all in all a wonderful experience, the staff was funny and attentive, the music was good, the vibes were up. looking forward to returning.“

“Yummy food! Awesome service! Full bar! Such fun vibes! Definitely check it out!“

“Great vibe! Happened upon it while in Chicago - highly recommend!“

“Hosted my boyfriend's 30th surprise birthday party here. I needed a venue with a private room for a murder mystery dinner and uptown tap really came through. I was able to get a last minute booking (1.5 weeks out) for such an affordable price! The contact was super responsive and I couldn't be more grateful.“

“We needed a place to stay close to the Concord music hall, and found the Leavitt St. Inn and Tavern. Every element of our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. The menu at the inn was a purposefully short, curated list of bar food, and everything we tried was incredible. The tavern had a great neighborhood feel, and the room we stayed in was well-appointed, and just right for my wife and me. We met the owners within a few moments of arriving, and immediately felt welcomed. I highly recommend the Leavitt St. Inn and Tavern to anyone looking for a hidden gem of a place to stay while visiting Chicago. We can't wait until we travel north again, because we know where we are staying! 5 stars! A++++“

“My first time here (new to Chicago) saw High on Fire and Negative Approach. Sounded great! Great staff, great room for music, hope to return many many more times!“

“Wonderful place and wonderful. Staff!! Wowwa the beer menu is ahhh Mazing!!“

“I walked here from the place I was staying for the weekend ! Although I didn’t order food, I did order drinks and they were so good! The bartender Andrew was very nice and pleasant! The service was good! It was a bit rowdy crowd there bc of the basketball game but overall a good time and definitely would be back! Also, order the summer smash! So so good if you like fruity drinks!“

“Great service! Tacos were worth the $2.50 and then some. Great people, really appreciate the effort.“

“Fabulous as always A Chicago go to for me“

“always a great time nice beer garden“

“I've been knows the number of times and I've always liked it. They've done a lot building out the rear space and that's nice to have expanded area because it was a little bit tight before. They have a stage in the main area which allows them to have entertainment.“

“Great atmosphere, very festive. The server was so nice and helpful with suggestions for our meal. She kept checking in on us throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed.

The fried pickles with their dipping sauce were a fun surprise, really good.

Also, I enjoyed the Burrata pizza. Although it tastes great on it's own it could have used a balsamic glaze to sweeten it a bit. My friend opted for the Kimchi fries (slightly spicy) and the fruit pizza. It looked like a healthy summer salad, covered in feta and fruit, and was told it was pretty good.

Parking was a bit of a struggle. We found street parking behind the location in a residential street.

Great local spot to check out.“

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

“Kirkwood = hidden gem! Rustic vibes, great staff, solid drinks, and live music/trivia goodness. New fav in Logan Square!“

“Amazing place and the staff are awesome“

“Phenomenal! My tastebuds exploded with pure joy from the well balanced spices! Spices we’ve never had amazed my family! 1000% recommended! Kelly was an outstanding Server!!“

“A great place to meet friends and see Drag Queens every other month“

“Craft beer, Great Atmosphere & Location, staff is awesome and Kyle just makes you feel like you have been going there for years. A must before any Cubs Game!“

“In addition to fantastic live music and great folks, the food, drinks and ambience is wonderful“

“This local gem is a fantastic spot for those seeking an authentic neighborhood bar experience! They offer an impressive selection of reasonably priced drinks and a diverse menu that's sure to satisfy. The spacious interior provides ample seating near the bar, while the additional backroom and charming patio (perfect for summer evenings) ensure there's always a comfortable spot to relax. For entertainment, there's a pool table available for those interested.

One of the standout features is the consistently excellent service - the staff really goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. While I've primarily sampled their unique take on sweet potato fries, which come as hearty chunks rather than traditional fries, I'm excited to explore more of their menu. The daily specials are particularly intriguing, and I'm looking forward to my next visit to try them out!“

“What great food! What nice people! Can’t wait to go back.“

“Excelente ambiente para charlar“

“A dive bar? With Bourbon County on tap? Rabbits could be Moe's tavern right out of the Simpsons, but don't let that fool you. No Duff's here, but there is always a better than average and sometimes exceptional tap lineup for beer geeks. But don't let the secret out that you can get the full BCBS experience here in the fall without the crowd.“

“Very nice place. Great service,respectful bartenders..“

“Very nice and friendly bartenders. They are very good at making any kind of drinks.“

“Very nice people, very knowledgeable of wine, they also serve wine by the glass and have tastings on Saturdays, we can’t wait to go back“

“YASSSSSSS! Perfect cocktails, delicious! 🍸amazing service!“

“All was amazing for our first visit.“

“I have been coming to this location for about two years now; the service is excellent, and the music is good. It's a huge parking lot, and the food is incredible. I love the wings and the burgers. Guilty to say we stay there for hours. There is a pool table and, outside area... I love the people that work there always kind.“

“Great place, helpful beertenders! I stopped in to pick up a few Oktoberfest beers that I discovered they had via Untappd! Bottle shops like Beer on the Wall are perfect for when you don't want to buy a full 4-pack or 6-pack of something you want to try. And they have a good selection of beers on tap!“

“Everything was great. Enjoyed my Brunch“

“Excellent place!! Highly recommend the big pretzel 🥨 WOW! Drinks were great also.“

“Henry and his staff are amazing. The new outdoor seating is awesome. I love how the bar exceeds all the safety and sanitation protocols. I am grateful that we can order food from nearby restaurants delivered in a safe manner to the double. It’s truly a neighborhood bar !!!“

“I’ve never been to Star Bar before but I had walked by many times and I am so glad I came in on the night of Alex was working! She was so great explaining the neighborhood to me as a new patron and took all of my drink preferences to mine to make me a cocktail of my choice it was very nice of her.“

“Best Pizza Place on Irving Park Road!!!!“

“We had a great time here on earth day. I was surprised to know that there was such a nice bar here within a jewel store. If I loved in the area this would certainly be an establishment that I would visit regularly. The staff was nice and they were conscientious of customers that might have frozen or food that needed to stay cold. I will definitely be back.“

“Nice ambiance! Great food.“

“Ireland’s is so fun! Love all their events, especially tap takeover �“
