Bars near West Chicago

“Not only have I loved Hawthornes from when I was a kid growing up in West Chicago! It was the PERFECT place to have my wedding. Lou, Heidi and Kelly did fantastic and helped make my dream come alive! Every question I had they answered and were able to accommodate so much! Heidi was in CONSTANT communication with me and was able to give advice and help me through the whole process. Her suggestions were so helpful and she helped during the ceremony and reception. I could not have done it without them. This place treats you like family and has amazing service! When my husband and I went to pick up our things the next morning we were planning on taking 2 trips and Lou let us borrow his truck that is how amazing and friendly they are! WE LOVE YOU HAWTHORNES! Thanks for making our wedding the best day of our lives(: not to mention EVERY guest couldn’t stop talking about how fun the venue was and there was something for everyone to do, wiffleball, volleyball, giant beer pong, bags, dancing, and more! Everyone was able to have fun the whole time!“

“When I used to live in West Chicago a couple of years ago, my fiancé now husband and I used to go there all the time and his Uncle Mike. I recommend this place 100%, the drinks are good, the bartenders are friendly, and the Viper Burger was our favorite. Alan is an awesome guy with a great sense of humor. The atmosphere is chill, welcoming and you'll have a great time. When I say to stop by The Bunker, I mean it lol 😃. Whenever we are in town again, we are definitely going to try stopping by. 😌✨“

“Walk in the front door awesome tunes are playing, great atmosphere- feels like you're at a friend's house, Michelle was super sweet. Great vibe and customer service friendly!!! All patrons were calm, cool, 😎 and collect. Definitely going back. Did not eat food but it looks spectacular! Huge portions and well presented! Made my evening. Only did I mention there's tons of TVs with different things on!!“

“My bookclub has met here a handful of times. My sister and I have been here a handful of times. This is the exact place we need in Warrenville & Mo is the best!! The atmosphere is perfect, seating is super comfy. I can hunker in here all evening.“

“Small family Easter brunch that was exceptional! Menu was full of wonderful traditions and thoughtful new dishes that we all (from 29 to 85 years old) were able to enjoy. Our server Kai was very professional and offered great suggestions. Our dishes were so plentiful we shared bites and it became an impromptu tasting. The ambience is always perfect and this sunny morning with a river view table was the best ever. Many thanks for such a memorable meal and such great service.“

“Great bar, friendly staff! Very nice atmosphere to sit and chat or watch the games on the TVs. Gaming section and the food is not bad either! Great choices and good pizza! I love the wide selection of Whiskey, bourbons, Gin and tequilas great neighborhood hangout.“

“I’ve been going to this bar for a few years now and from day one I was welcomed with open arms, I love all that bartenders that work there and the manager. I always have a great time with lots of laughs and memories to last a lifetime. Also shout out to the karaoke djs , they always make sure everyone has a good time, and if you stay long enough you might get a chance to hear the bartender sing a song or 2.“
