31 Best Wine Bars near Streamwood

“After our first visit here with friends, we couldn’t stop talking about when we’d be back!

When we’re with a group, we like to sit at a table, but when it’s just me and my husband, the bar is our go-to spot. The servers and bartenders are always fantastic.

The oysters are fresh and delicious, and the foie gras is served just the way I love—with toast and jam.

The caesar salad is quite good, with a nice touch of pickled sardines.

So far, our favorite entrées are the burger, steak frites, and walleye.

We’re already looking forward to our next visit!“

“The perfect spot for singles, couples, groups or parties. Fantastic wine selections and availability“

“Natalie (waitress) rocked. Very good at her job. She is definitely an asset to Duke's. Great job Natalie.“

“Outstanding experience from start to finish! Charlie’s service was exceptional, and his wine and side recommendations were perfect. The prime rib and filet were both cooked to perfection. We’ll definitely be back! Great job on the Manhattans :)“

“Wonderful place to enjoy a glass (or two) of wine!“

“Our server really made the total experience the most enjoyable. For me, the Vegan entree was exceptional -- Black Bean Bolognese. The only downside for me was the noise level which was pretty high for me even though we sat in the back room. But the exquisite service from Dani made me leave with the most positive feelings about Seasons 52. We are going back.“

“The Alchemist is quite simply fantastic. I can’t think of anyplace where you can get better seafood. So many cocktail bars offer drinks with great names but with no pizzazz when it come to the taste. All of The Alchemist’s cocktails have pizzazz, and if you don’t see something you want, have the bartender mix something up for you on the spot!“

“Great retro 70’s vibe! Dan the owner is outstanding. His staff is on point! Great music 🎵“

“Finally good brewery in the area, so happy that we visited that place that offers very interesting beers. Their Pilsner and Lager are very solid. We also tried Farmhouse Ipa that offers interesting complexion of flavors as it is brewed and then put in barrels that once contained the wine lingering with its flavors almost like saison but keeping the good IPA profile. We will definitely visit again, hopefully soon!! :)“

“Great bourbon. The drink and bartender Rochelle was outstanding. Also you can buy bourbon here!! Win win!“

“It’s the best plate to grab a wine and snack.“

“Awesome experience with an exceptional staff. I presentEd the wines from Elizabeth Spencer and the customers, wines and the dining experience was exceptional.“

“This place is beyond amazing. I live by Midway Airport and I'm thankful my girlfriend lives near here because otherwise I'd look crazy going all this way for the food. But it's completely worth it. Through multiple trips have tried numerous menu items and they serious can't do anything wrong. So far I've had: Egg Lemon soup, Greek Salad, Feta Spread (both regular and spicy), Gyros sandwich, Gyro Plate, Broasted Half Chicken (Greek style), Feta Fries, Calamari, Chicken Skewers, Loukomadies, Galaktoboureko, Burger with Gyro Meat, Chicken Pita, Pastitsio, and spanakopita. And nothing has been anything short of absolutely amazing. This place is worth every penny. Even my Greek Girlfriend who is VERY critical of her Greek Food agrees at how amazing this place is. Everything gets compared to her Grandma's cooking which sets a very high bar. And everything we have had has been a home run.“

“We went to Woodfire for the first time a few weeks back on a Thursday night to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Full house!! We had the best appetizers, main dishes (pasta & pizza), drinks and the donuts as a treat from our amazingly friendly server was a fabulous ending to a great night! Great atmosphere, food, drinks & service!! Looking forward to going back again soon!“

“The Fortunes in South Elgin is really a friendly place. The staff is a lot of fun. Everyone seems to know each other there. It’s very clean. It’s got good drink specials and free snacks and soda and water. I think it’s the best place in South Elgin to play, and there are quite a few all around this area.“

“Love this spot. Great food, coffee and atmosphere.“

“You can bring dog. Fast and good service.“

“My friend and I discovered this gaming cafe located in the corner of an almost empty parking lot. Since the start of the pandemic, we've been gaming here and we haven't done that bad. Not big wins, but not to many losses either. We both agree that Kolinkos manager (lady who tends the bar for majority of time, always has a smile) is such a friendly person and she does her best.customer services is good and our experience has been that our experience has been a positive one and I hope more people start to give this place a try. You'll find a very nice lady who tends majority of the time. Its a possibility that family will come and help her out by covering her Shift here and there. After this it cool to see them join in the fun and pay. come here often as the peopleyone is very welcoming. has been 4 star treatment“

“Awesome experience with coffee or alcohol. Cool layout that offers a great experience and drink. Fun seating and options. Staff was great and we will be back.“

“The food is EXCELLENT!!!!“

“The ambiance of the establishment is undoubtedly cozy, and the service is warm and attentive, creating a welcoming experience. This type of venue is a much-needed addition to the area, and it holds great potential.

However, there are a couple of areas where improvements could elevate the experience further. As a wine enthusiast, I found the selection to be somewhat underwhelming. While the current options are acceptable, they lean toward the average rather than showcasing truly standout wines. Expanding and refining the wine list would greatly enhance the overall appeal for those who appreciate quality offerings.

Additionally, the pricing feels slightly above what one might consider standard. For instance, two glasses of wine accompanied by a small charcuterie board—featuring prosciutto, blue cheese, jam, and olives—came to $90 excluding tip. While the service remains commendable, a better balance between price and value could improve the overall experience.

In summary, this is a charming place with excellent service, but there is room for refinement, particularly in wine selection and pricing. With a few adjustments, it has the potential to become a standout destination in the area.“

“We enjoyed another great evening at Coopers Hawk Kildeer. We choose Coopers Hawk not only for their great drinks, food preparation and portions, but also because they have substantial Gluten-Free options and dedicated fryers so everyone can enjoy. They take allergy consciousness seriously. While Kyle our server was prompt, courteous, and engaging I have to say the entire staff gave us a feeling they truly appreciated our choice dining with them. Everyone we spoke with or even passed in the hallway smiled and made eye contact. The Pretzel bread (including Gluten-Free bread) along with appetizers (Calamari & Brussel Sprouts) were the perfect size for our party of five(5) to share. We enjoyed a variety of dishes (Chicken, Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops, Spaghetti w/Meatballs, Gnocchi Alla Vodka, and Salad w/Chicken & Avocado), all delicious. Flourless cake and two other desserts were shared and delicious. Overall highly recommended as we have had consistent high quality food and service at this location.“

“Fantastic food, awesome people and highly recommend if you enjoy delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere.“

“First time at brunch. The brisket hash was very good. Nothing like corned beef hash. It was flavorful and hearty. We were warned that the French Toast was sweet. While good, it was very rich and smothered in chocolate sauce. A little less chocolate would have helped make the dish more enjoyable. Our server wasn't very attentive and didn't check on us after she dropped off the food until we were finished eating. The music was a tad distracting as it was a bit loud, and then again there weren't as many people in the restaurant to absorb the sound. One busser in particular was very detailed and neat in his cleaning of the tables. It was impressive to see the care he put into his job. Would we go back for brunch? Yes. Would we order the same things? Probably not. There are other dishes calling out to be tried.“

“The kindest and most attentive staff food is great !!! Your manger Patrick one of the best !! Thank you for making todays baby shower,, PERFECT 💕“

“As a Chef critic i felt this place had a nice atmosphere and friendly service. I had the impression they were slightly understaffed and looks to be family run. The food was decent, however, the plating and some of the dishes were sloppy. A little pricey for the food that was served. I still gave a 4 star as the waitstaff was friendly and excellent.

Wheelchair accessibility: No“

“I went to this location Friday night and although the food was great the service from Yasmine was phenomenal. She was attentive gave great recommendations when I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to eat. She also has a lot of jokes and she had a very fun tie on.“

“Such a beautiful place and atmosphere. I absolutely love the salads there!!!“

“So amazing! Waiter, Charles was awesome and so was greeter, Elizabeth Food and drinks were amazing! Ambience also amazing! New favorite restaurant! I can’t say enough good about everything!“

“If you like the types of cuisine around the Mediterranean Sea, such as Greek, Italian, Spanish, or French, this is the place for you! This place has delicious menu options that are guaranteed to keep you coming back for more! I also would like to highlight the lovely atmosphere and the musicians that perform during the weekends!“
