44 Best Pubs near Villa Park

“Great staff. Fun neighborhood hangout where you’re guaranteed to meet friendly folks and have a great time!“

“Great bartenders and drink specials, along with food by Ruben.“

“My daughter and son in law invited us to their regular watering hole since we were visiting from out of town.
Dee was an excellent bar tender and made sure we never went dry. I didn't get a chance to try the food but it was a fun environment and atmosphere.“

“Jason’s the best and always friendly 100%“

“The karaoke on Sunday is a lot of fun! The man who runs it has a lot of music! In the beginning if it is slow he will let people do a few songs in a row. But he is also very fair. So once it’s getting busy he will space it out and get everyone in but I have never been to a place that would allow that. He is a great singer himself so I guess he enjoys taking care of people and allowing them to warm up when it’s slow. That’s cool! And the people who come are damn good singers and nice. There are no divas here but some damn good talent. A rare gem!“

“This place kind of reminds me of Cheers... what food is fresh, hot, amazing the servers are super friendly animated and it's probably the best restaurant I've been to since before covid. I recommend asking for Tyler if he's on dudy for a server. Also there's a server named Izzy who is like really nice and I kind of wish we could have had two servers cuz they all act like family can't find a place like that anymore.“

“Love this place! Great atmosphere! Great people! Great Music!“

“We loved the ambiance of this Irish Pub! The Christmas decor and lights make it a wonderland! The band was great and the pub has so much charm!

This all made up for the 3 bartenders who were more worried about talking to their friends than waiting on customers. We waited 20 min, as did customers next to us, staff looked right at us and kept talking to their friends. A bartender with curly hair- she actually scowled at us for asking to place a drink order. Exception was one bartender who had very long straight dark brown hair: she was awesome and was doing all of the others work with a huge smile on her face! She was great! It was a busy night that the restaurant could have had higher cash flow if the others focused on drink orders. We'll be back though, really great place!“

“Great place to hangout. Good service. Friendly people“

“The vibe was ok but the bartenders made it great!! Chris is amazing! And I will definitely be back the days he works because how awesome he made our experience!“

“such sweet owners! they helped me celebrate my 20th birthday last year with the sign and some catered food, and this year (i have covid☹️) they gave drinks on the house for my family who went to celebrate in honor of me! i can't wait to come visit once i'm out of quarantine!!“

“Great good, cold beer, good service!“

“Wonderful place to have a meal. The Dunkley Burgers is awesome!“

“Veronica was great. Very prompt with her service and courteous along the way. I would come again“

“Went to this establishment with a couple friends for the bears game and was beyond impressed! I mentioned to my server Maggie that I liked gin and wanted to try something new. She came back with a strawberry gin fizz drink the bartender Taylor made and it was amazing! I really appreciated the good recommendation and will be back soon.“

“first timer , awesome place to hang out listen to a live singer great burgers. it feeks like everyone knows each other and are super friendly . going back next friday for dinner“

“I stopped by this place while waiting for an oil change nearby. The layout of the restaurant was really fun — you can see the ice rink right next to it, which felt straight out of a high school movie. I loved the classic American diner vibe. It wasn’t too crowded, which made it feel even more local and cozy.

There were claw machines and candy dispensers here and there, which added to the charm. The server was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered a drink, some chili, and a burger. The food wasn’t amazing, but it was decent. Overall, it’s a very chill place. I feel like it’d be a fun spot to stop by once in a while to grab a drink and hang out with a friend.“

“great spirits and beers good food and entertainment its awesome“

“For bar stool junkies. Two TV' s.... different screen colors. Older beer ads and hardware. Forgot to check the head on this initial visit. Several regulars in/out for their nicotine charge. Very nice lady behind the bar. I will be back soon. Minus: PBR, but where is the OldStyle? Plus: WSox beat Cleveland.Key Word: Old (Style).“

“Ellyns has awesome food and a very friendly environment. Never had something I didn’t like, and can always find something new on the menu. Great drink menu and specials. Ellyns will always be a go to!“

“Food is quality German-Bavarian. You feel your in a lodge in Bavaria. Could use some diversity in clientele. I'll take that because the restaurant cannot control that. Servers are attentive, quick response with prepared food. Recommend the blueberry mocktail, dumpling soup, had a spicy stew...it was hearty, tasty and many sides are available.

Been here twice. Second visit I was disturbed with a table of six. Again the restaurant can't control that. But neither could these patrons.

Servers have been knowledge and kind. I'd go back strictly for the service. Yet the food is quite traditional and return worthy.

The Lodge can't dodge the Hodge Podge of loud Lots.“

“Excellent drinks and fun atmosphere“

“Do you like Guinness? Do you like Wagu burgers? Rafferty"s is now serving 1/3 lbs burgers that combine these awesome flavors!!“

It has a small town feel where everyone is super friendly and everything we have tried so far on the menu was AMAZING! The burgers are the best Around! Chicken Dumping Soup is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Bartenders are super friendly and on top of their game! HIGHLY Recommend this place! 💪🤘🇺🇸“

“Mi piace venire qui con i colleghi per una pausa veloce, ma non trovo Gullivers Pizza & Pub nell’app Coverflex, pensate di attivarla presto?“

“We held a celebration of life for my brother here today. About 50 in attendance in the stylish, comfortable upstairs area. Despite the fact that I planned this from 400 miles away and without having ever seen the venue, it went off without a hitch due to Mr. David Candiotti and his staff. No surprises. Everything was as promised. The venue is extremely stylish and rustic. Food was delicious and plentiful as were the drinks. Service was fast, efficient and friendly thanks to Mona, Alberto and Olena. I highly recommend.“

“This past Sunday I had the backroom for Super bowl we had 14 customers. . All the food and service was excellent. . The half time show could be watchef any where in the backroom or front bar. . I want to thank the ownership for great food and sevice“

“Just stopped in for an Irish coffee. Taste tested my husband's Bloody Mary. Oh my! The mix that Emily put together this morning was amazing. The best! We usually stop in for breakfast on the weekends and always have a great meal.“

“Good food nice bartender! Had fun!“

“I ate here twice. Cesar salad with grilled chicken was very good, a little heavy on the dressi g for my liking. I also had the chicken wings which were average, a little too crispy in my opinion, but celery was very fresh and was very good with the blue cheese. Second visit, I had the Italian Wedding soup. Soup was delicious and hot, perfectly paired with the buttery toast that just melted in my mouth with the soup broth and was perfect for dipping!! I also had the market salad with medium rare steak. Salad was big and steak was cook as requested. The soup with toast was definitely the highlight for me. Prices are on the high end, but I didn't leave hungry. Perfect spot when staying at the hotel and don't feel like going out.“

“We held a beautiful rehearsal dinner in the Mirage restaurant/bar. Service and food were fantastic, and the staff was more than helpful. Thank you so very much!!!“

“Great staff, food is mediocre and expensive, but it is Rosemont and located in a nice hotel. I ordered roasted corn chowder, asparagus, and onion rings. Menu isn't the best selection of choices. I payed 40.88 for everything I listed and a 22oz stella tap beer. I would t go out of my way to stop back, but if I'm staying at the hotel not a bad choice.“

“Hello, took my wife to this suburban restaurant inside hotel. She had Brussels sprouts appetizer described as phenomenal and her salmon was great too. I enjoyed the French onion soup and the well prepared Marriott burger! Great to have another dining option in Burr Ridge!“

“Love coming here for live music; we got to see Michael Hayes here on August 2nd and the night was filled with amazing music in a great atmosphere, good food to top it off. Can't go wrong heading here for an enjoyable evening on their patio.“

“Great Pizza and Pitcher Specials On Sunday. The Pizza Was Perfect 👌“

“I'm traveling for work, just landed in Chicago, went to go to the USO, and was told, as a veteran having had deployed to Iraq, that I am not allowed in the USO by some civilian. That's wild. Guy said he needed DoD id, then I pointed to where my member ID was. He said not good enough and told me I had to leave. I've gone to a lot of USO's and never been turned away as a vet.“
