33 Best Cocktail Bars near Wheaton

“Kyle at the bar and all the staff were just so amazing to us. I had guests in from out of state. Everyone was amazing when there were questions about drinks or any small plate ingredients and recommendations. We were really pleased with our visit.“

“Holy smokes… this place is PHENOMENAL! 🔥

My wife and I stopped in for a date-night drink, and from the moment we walked in, we were blown away. George was absolutely wonderful—warm, attentive, and made the experience even better. And the cocktails? Absolutely outstanding. 🍸

We loved it so much that we actually came back after dinner… and let’s just say, we stayed long enough that they basically had to kick us out! 😂

Great atmosphere, incredible drinks, and an even better experience. This is the kind of place you find yourself talking about afterward and already planning your next visit.

12/10. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“What a wonderful and tasty experience. The drinks, food and desserts were excellent. Thanks to the chef and to the servers for such a friendly customer service. We'll be back!“

“Excellent drinks and fun atmosphere“

“Fave place ever! Love it there. Drinks are tasty, vibe is cool and staff is spot on!“

“If you're looking for some of the most creative and legendary pizzas around, Legends Pizza in Carol Stream is the place to be! Their out-of-the-box pizza creations are next level, and their Bloody Marys? Absolutely insane and packed with flavor. This is one spot you have to put on your bucket list!“

“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.“

“Went last night reserved a party of 6 but another friend showed up and Anthony the owner accommodated us. We ordered half the menu including the star of the show being the tomahawk steak. We shared all items buffet style sampling all dishes. Everything was excellent and everyone in the party was thoroughly impressed!“

“HI! I was here on opening night with my two children a few weeks ago and I’m speechless!!! They had short staff but carried out the work excellently. The food was delicious and even my son enjoyed it as a very picky eater😂. I would 100% recommend this place to those nearby“

“Barrelman's Room is my go-to place on a Friday or Saturday night when I want delicious cocktails and cozy ambiance so I can actually talk to my friends & hear each other. It's usually pretty easy to get a table, the staff is helpful with recommendations and I love the "secret" feel of it. I recommend it to anyone who wants a night out without a long line or wait. You won't be disappointed!“

“My wife and I watched the bears vs packers game. Great atmosphere and fun time watching the game. However, BOTH bathrooms had issues and one urinal overflowed causing a mess. When the game was over and we left, we were blocked in by someone who made up a parking spot in the back of the lot. Multiple people made up spots all over the lot. When I addressed the issue with the front desk and spoke with the manager, they did nothing and said to call the police. It is not up to the customer to manage your property. I thought it was a joke of a response when a concern was raised.“

“Best GF waffle I have EVER had!“

“Amazing food and drinks!!“

“The quesabirria tacos were so delicious! The consomé was full of flavor and the waitress and hostess were very nice!“

“Such great food, great atmosphere and service! stop thinking about stopping in, do it! Shout out to our server Shae from Jason and Jade!“

“Stayed at the doubletree hotel and was very pleasantly surprised how great the food was at Osteria Italian restaurant. We dined here two nights in a row because it was so delicious. Julio our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Made our first evening at the restaurant memorable. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and Caesar salad. It was wonderful. I had plenty of leftovers and can’t wait to enjoy the other half when I get home. My husband ordered rigatoni with chicken and the soup of the day. He had plenty left over for another meal also. Had two Tiramisu martinis and unfortunately ran out of room for dessert. The second night we sat in the bar for happy hour. Joey, the manager remembered us and made us feel like we were friends dining at his home. Handsome gentleman and incredibly friendly. Tony the bartender managed a full bar of people yet was very available to take our order. Happy hour is a great deal with $7 martinis and affordable large appetizers. Luckily we saved room to share a piece of Tiramisu. Absolutely divine. Can’t wait for our next visit to Chicago to dine here again. Highly recommended.“

“Fantastic Sunday brunch. Best Eggs Benedict ever. Cold items are creative, fresh, delicious..dilled shrimp, Spanish shrimp cocktail, grilled marinated veggies, poached salmon, Lox, bagels, capers, red onion. Heaven!“

“1st visit to MK Steak and we were very impressed. We were seated right away and started with wine and cocktails ( spicy Bees Knees was awesome!). Our server, Chelsea, was knowledgeable, friendly and tentative. Atmosphere was lively but not loud. Both our entrees were cooked to perfection. My husband, who knows his steaks, was pleasantly surprised to hear the steaks are from Meats by Linz. His steak was amazing- great flavor. I had the scallops, which were also very good. The baked French Onion soup was hot and cheese was nicely browned. We were too full for dessert but saw a few being served. So wish I had saved room! We will be back!“

“A great throwback restaurant!“

“For everything ,nice people“

“Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere!“

“Food and service are both excellent. Greeted with a smile, food is made to order, so no microwaved dish......I had chicken/shrimp fajitas the first visit and they were DELICIOUS!! Went back second time with a relative, got the shrimp diablo......should have taken the server's advice about the heat, but I didn't, therefore I suffered 🥲 the consequence......she was awesome though and had the heat taken down for me. Owner came out to greet guests and was super sweet. This place is a hidden jewel that has some of the best Mexican food in the area. I would say take my word for it, but being that you probably don't know me, don't take my word for it, go try it for yourself!!“

“Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. I had a large family event here and everyone loved it! Favorite dishes were kugelis, potato pancakes, beet soup, salad, combo platters. The desserts were amazing! I highly recommend.“

“Family friendly fun with old school vibes“

“Had the best experience dining here with coworkers. Jess was our server and was warm and welcoming, offering suggestions and pairings, and had the beat timing- we never felt rushed or interrupted. The martinis and crafted cocktails were as delicious as they were beautiful. Appetizers were delicious and the portion size was great- don't miss the brussel sprouts! Now the sushi... wow- creative and meticulously prepared rolls and sashimi with a menu that has something for everyone-- and the vegan options are incredible! Can't wait to come back. Thanks for a great night out and a. fantastic service experience.“

“The service was super great tonight. Despite there being almost an hour wait, we were able to checked in online before even leaving the house and had our drinks less than 5 minutes of being seats. Wish I remembered our waitresses name because she was pretty great as well.“

“We’re speechless—excellent service. It was our first visit, so we didn't know about the Tuesday biscuit promotion; we were pleasantly surprised and absolutely loved them—so soft, sweet, and crispy. The Veggie omelet was also delicious, packed with flavor and fresh ingredients. We had a wonderful meal and will definitely be back.“

“Came in for the Cubs game and ended up staying through the Kentucky Derby — great call. Sat at the bar the entire time and the vibe was perfect for game day: sound on the Cubs at just the right volume, plenty of TVs, and a crowd that actually cared about the game.

Food was a home run across the board. Pulled pork waffle fries, buffalo chicken wrap, and the pulled pork tacos — all loaded with flavor. Hard to pick a favorite.

Staff was great too. One bartender and one server handling the floor and they were taking care of everyone. The only knock is that once the Derby crowd rolled in things got slammed and drinks took noticeably longer to come around — not really their fault with the staffing they had, just something to know if you're heading in for a busy event.

Overall a great experience and we'll absolutely be back.“

“We were in town for a basketball tournament, with a group of 22, and their staff accommodated our entire group! From the hostess, to our waitress, to whom I believe was the manager (tall gentleman), they were fantastic! The food, was delicious!!! Serving sizes were generous and their drinks were great as well. If we are ever back in town, we will return!“
