50 Best Bars near Wonder Lake

“We stopped there on a charity motorcycle ride. Staff was friendly, place was nice. We ate there as well. Food was great however should have been someone watching supply as well as the people who did not pay for food (we had wristbands to track). It was sad to see people who didn't pay the $10 for a wristband, come and eat $30 worth of food. While people who paid had to sit and wait some i belive waited a while.
THEN after like 30-40 min there the waitress was checking for bands. (Too little to late sadly) the older dark haired lady (chef? Manager?) Was very sweet and did her best to get food out. Tasty for sure!!
Great atmosphere there. I would come back just to hang out sometime“

“Three bands, no cover nice night“

“My boyfriend and I came down on the bike for lunch. What a phenomenal experience! The OG pizza and mushroom appetizer were amazing 🤩. The owner/chef truly puts his whole heart into his culinary masterpieces, and we will definitely return. I cannot wait to be back to try something else! What a great little find in the heart of Hebron ❤️“

Eclectic environment with very cool decor, both indoor and outdoor bars, very comfortable outdoor area has both a heated pavilion, and lawn area complete with wood burning stoves, firepits, and comfortable seating.

“I small hometown upscale bar featuring wine and whiskey. They have some amazing finger food. Not a full kitchen, but they do very well with what the have. Great sandwiches and the bruchetta is nothing short of amazing. I believe this is one place that jas to be experienced at least once. I personally love this place.“

“Another iconic place that has been there forever...It use to be a pretty rough establishment back in the day. But, hey we're old schoolers and born & raised locals from here. The majority of us go there. We all grew up together or attended school in the area and know each other. Great place to get a brew or mix drink, and reminisce. Lots of old faces in here. If your from here or seeking info about our town... Then you know where to hang out at. Restrooms, Karaoke, Jukebox, Full Service Bar, Pizza and Chips, Dartboards and plenty of seating available. Always something happening. Smoking allowed in front or back areas. We're all friendly folks in here. Stop in for one or more. Welcome to our neighborhood. Fri & Sat. Nights are quite busy. See ya soon. A+.“

“Our wedding at Ethereal Confections was absolutely magical! The venue itself is a beautifully rustic space, perfect for an intimate gathering of up to 100 guests. We loved the large windows that let in so much natural light, and the exposed beams and brick walls gave it a charming, warm character that everyone adored. Located above a chocolate shop, we were treated to a delightful wedding favor of their truffles for each guest—a sweet touch that was a big hit! The shop remained open during the wedding, allowing guests to flow between the celebration and the store, where many enjoyed a coffee break or just took a breather. Kelsey, our coordinator, was fantastic—professional, attentive, and incredibly warm. She managed every detail seamlessly, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could truly enjoy the day. The Loft at Ethereal Confections created the perfect, cozy ambiance for our wedding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!“

“Great food and drinks always a fun place“

“I recall the early openers they opened at 5 am. If you were at a party and ran out of beer you would get in a cab and say take me to an early opener. Then they would take you straight down to the docks. It was really great sitting there. You would see the fellows in there dungarees having a couple quick ones before starting work then someone would walk in wearing a ball gown or a tuxedo. It was a delight. The fellows starting a hard day's work and the leftovers from the parties.“

“Great place! Our party of 5 bellied up to the bar and had a great time. Jim our server and Scott the bartender made some great recommendations on drinks and apps. Watermelon margarita was the best one in the flight we had. The Tequilla Old Fashion was fantastic! Definitely made new friends and will be back often“
