48 Best Sports Bars near Prospect Heights

“interesting pub that has all the normal pub fare - but also some unusual stuff like saganaki, buffalo chicken pizza, and southwest fish tacos. Service was great for me and my friend. Can sit at the bar or at high-top tables. They even have salads and burgers that are much better than usual.“

“I like the food at this bar delicious and the excellent servers. The only reason I give this place a 4-star is the fries. For some reason, they are always super salty.The chicken tenders are super good and a must-try, crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside.“

“Onion rings were/are amazing here!! I enjoyed them very much.

Latin culture being held with highest respects here.. thank u rocks of palwaukee plaza next to my friend David's WAM pawn shop“

“Dined on a Saturday with 2 of us, 6:15 reservations. Highly recommend reservations, very crowded. My Entrée was Fish & Chips, their own BBQ Tater Chips, Very Good. Entrée #2 was Ghostbuster Burger with Vamp Fries, also very good, cooked as ordered. The cocktails are very reasonably priced as they should be. Example $6.50 for ECCO Pinot Grigio. Nice variety on menu. Will return. Our server Caitie took good care of us.“

“The Newark Nook is one of the more famous speakeasy's on Chicago's Northwest side. While it is most famous for being Milton S. Hershey's preferred watering hole when he visited Chicago for the 1893 World's Fair, it was also the scene of several gangland shootings in the 1920's, and was built on the site of a civil war battle where famed wild Buffalo hunter, Col. Michael Gallen, was killed. Today the bar is mostly known for its extensive cocktail list and secret lounge area. The food is prepared by a former James Beard award winning chef but is a bit too fancy to my taste, but everything is very nice. The Colonel Gallen Buffalo Nachos are stellar and include a commemorative plate that can be taken home.“

“Personally, Im a sucker for polish food. I get very particular when is comes to my favorite dishes. When i say these dishes were spectacular, i mean it. Definitly will be back again and might bring a couple of my friends. Service and Atmosphere was wonderful. Im am so amazed by how well these entres were prepared. Im so happy that i have now found my new favorite spot.“

“The drinks are great and food does not disappoint. We celebrated Valentine’s Day today with good service and a gorgeous atmosphere. Love this spot for work happy hours, a special night out or dinner with the family.“

“I dined here for the first time tonight and had a bartender named Kerry serve me. Kerry was a beautiful perfect princess and the most wonderful angel that ever lived. I had the sliders with chipotle ranch dipping sauce and several beers. It was a truly perfect experience. Kerry should be given a raise and receive lots and lots of unending praise. Thank you TWood!“

“5/4/24My daughter wanted to play golf with her friends, so I chose this location. Overall, everything was worthwhile . The location was very spacious and comfortable. Seating is close to one another, but you won't even focus on the other guests. Kyle was my waiter. He was super chill and laid back. Checking in on us only at the right time. I'd definitely visit frequently.“

“Love outdoor options in the summer. Even with a crazy weekend of 56 Music Fix everything was on point with food and service. I loved seeing Chris step in and help anywhere and everywhere he needed to.“

“great food, awesome atmosphere, and service was spot on. I'll definitely be back.“

“I cannot believe that no reviews or comments have been made about this business! They have great servers/bartenders! They have beanbag tournaments during nice weather months. Their food is outstanding! I had one of THE BEST corned beef sandwich on St Patrick's Day I've ever had! They have video gambling, which is fine if that's your thing. Outdoor bar is nice during warmer weather! Parking is enough for their size. It's unique inside with authentic plane parts, including helicopter landing gear for the bars kick plate. Jimmy the owner is very friendly and will buy you a drink/shot when he's there and his son, Chase, is a fabulous cook! Conveniently located minutes from O'Hare airport!“

“Basic sports bar. It's located in Norridge not close to anything interesting. Newbe's actually is pretty good to be honest, much better than expected for sure. Has the basic drinks and food. There's also gaming. A few way to keep entertained. It has video poker and slots. There was one woman who never moved from the one slot machine the entire time. As for the rest of the stuff, it has pretty average drinks and food. It's about $6 for wells. Basic liquor selection. The food is mostly fried and greasy things. About $3 for fried appetizers. The rest of the menu is meaty stuff. Good stuff as far as entertainment. It has slots. There's not that much else interesting but it's a nice neighborhood hangout if you're around it though.“

“An absolute gem of a local neighborhood bar and bowling alley. Eight lanes of bowling with some of the original Brunswick automatic pinsetters, top ball return, and manual scoring (there are free apps available for scoring if you so desire). $6 per game and $2 for shoes (as of this posting February 2024), an absolute bargain. They have a full bar with 12 tap beers including a good selection of local craft brews (plus myriad bottles selections), and over 100 types of liquor, including flavored vodkas, whiskeys, rum, tequila, and everyone's favorite Malört. Wine is limited to individual serve bottles. The staff and owner are absolute legends, quick with their service and phenomenal personalities. They do not serve food aside from a few bags of chips, however, they do encourage ordering in. Joe's Pizza just down the street makes some of the best thin crust tavern cut pizza you'll ever enjoy. A pool table and TouchTunes jukebox are available as well. Outdoor seating is a great way to relax on those warm spring and summer days.“

“Our first time ever dining at this restaurant close to our family. Loved this place the food was great and the service was exceptional. We definitely want to come back on some night they have karaoke?!Parking: No problem in afternoon. Lot could fill up on music nights“

“We LOVED this place. It’s just what a neighborhood bar should be but so much more. All of the food that we ordered was absolutely great, the portions were large and the price was right. Our server was Jessica and she was on top of everything. We order the potato skins and wings. Both were great. We then ordered Philly cheesesteaks, both chicken and steak and the steak burrito. Again, all were great! This is the kind of place that every neighborhood should have. Great food, great atmosphere, great service and all at a great price! We will be back!“

“Great place to watch the Brewers playoff game while in the Chicago area. Great customer service.“

WHAT ..... She is so nice and welcoming.. the DJ made me feel as if he was my brother from another mother..lol.... This place is awesome.... The hot wings are to die for .... Y'all Betta go“

You can also park in the lot that is behind the original lot. There is a pass way.Wheelchair accessibility: It has a wheelchair ramp for both entrances for upper level or main level.“

“Violet's Gaming Pub: A Great Place to Relax and Have FunI recently had the pleasure of visiting Violet's Gaming Pub in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. I was immediately impressed by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, and they went out of their way to make sure I had a great experience.The food was also delicious. I had the chicken parmesan, which was perfectly cooked and served with a generous portion of pasta. The service was quick and efficient, and the prices were very reasonable.But the real highlight of my visit was the gaming. Violet's has a wide variety of games to choose from, including arcade games, pinball machines, and even a few video games. I spent hours playing my favorite games, and I never felt bored or restless.I would highly recommend Violet's Gaming Pub to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing place to spend an evening. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the gaming is top-notch. I can't wait to go back!Special Shout-Out to Bryan the BartenderI would be remiss if I didn't give a special shout-out to Bryan, the bartender. He was absolutely fantastic! He was so friendly and attentive, and he went out of his way to make sure I had a great experience. He even gave me some great recommendations for games to play.If you're ever at Violet's, be sure to ask for Bryan. He's the best!“

“Had to see what the fuss is about Millers so I stop by on a Saturday and Tuesday the staff is very welcoming and friendly. I also loved that they had so many TVs and a lot of variation of sports on display. The food & drinks were delicious, which I had the hot wings, barbecue ribs and a tequila mule. The captain jack dessert is a must try!!! Compliments to the server Naty which had great recommendations and was very attentive with a great smile. If I had to nitpick, the only complain was Naty was a Minnesota fan but we’re not all born perfect. Go Bears! My new favorite go to spot will be recommending family & friends. Can wait to see a UFC fight there!“

“This place is an absolute staple of elk Grove local pizza, their sauce is the best in the surrounding towns, and I have tried a lot. I pick up from Munchies as often as I can even though I have moved further away because nothing near me gers even close to how good their pizza is. Their pan pizza is my favorite, and the owners (mother and son) know me just by my order. They are so incredibly friendly and always ask about my family. My family loves their jumbo friends and like to get the Italian beef on garlic bread.Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggies options for toppingsParking: Tons of open spacesKid-friendliness: Lots of room for families to come in and sit. A great place to take the team after games.“

“We had such a great experience having Blackfinn Randhurst host our daughter’s Graduation Party. Steve made the party planning so easy and was very flexible with what we wanted.We had about 30 people and Lindsay did an amazing job keeping our party guests happy! Lindsay was very attentive to all the guests from the food and drinks to making sure the little kids were kept busy. She was so pleasant and worked her butt off!I would recommend having a party at Blackfinn.“

“We were there for a bday party. Great entertainment and great bar service! Coming back for sure.“

“Every bar has a gimmick. Nowadays a lot of them getting too gimmicky. Not this place no gimmick. Hard to find in Chicago.Tried to drink all of their $4 tall boy PBR. The chicken quesadilla, how I got me and my coworker home. If I wasn’t in town on business I would’ve drank all their $4 tall boy PBR.In all seriousness, was told they were under new management. Obviously it’s working. Staff was entertaining, locals were non stop entertainment, food was crème de la crème of bar food.“

“The food is delicious and the atmosphere is amazing!!“

“I went here for the first time and I had an amazing experience! The atmosphere was amazing. They had numerous tv screens playing the games. The service was top tier. Our server was so polite and everything came so quickly. The food was delicious and the portion sizes are extremely generous. The drinks tasted great! It was a Thursday night that I went and they had great specials. I highly recommend this place!“

“This place is on my list of top 5 favorite dive bars. When you walk in there's a room to the right that has pool tables, darts and giant checkers! Then just when I thought it couldn't get any better. A band started jamming and they sounded incredible! The glass wall in between us created the perfect amount of sound. We ordered pizza and it was hot and delicious. Our bartenders were friendly and attentive.“

“I took a dear friend to lunch at Dave & Busters for her birthday. We had a great time because of the delicious food, attentive service from our waiter, and the upbeat atmosphere of the place. I have been there many times and will continue to frequent my visits. I give it 5 stars.“

“Teresa was an awesome waitress- it was super busy and she was attentive to everything! Food was good as well as drink selection“

“The food was better than expected at an arcade. The pretzel sticks were actually so good! If you love Bacon the bacon burger is right up your alley it comes with a lot of bacon and bacon flavors. The bacon jam was a little too sweet for me but that's my fault it's literally called bacon jam! The service was great. The games were a lot of fun and reasonably priced it's very convenient that you can use the game card on your phone so you don't have to worry about losing it. I also got an unexpected $10 free for my birthday! It was very clean! Definitely recommend and we will be coming back!“

“Terrific staff, excellent hours of operation, wonderful spot!“

“Mrs.Pat and Mrs.Dottie were so Fabulous! Idk if they we’re regulars but these two ladies definitely know how to have! They were dancing and having their drinks enjoying life! But this place is very nice I love the drinks thanks Patrick your an amazing bartender“

“Stopped in with a friend for dinner randomly a couple of weeks ago and the server Angela F was amazing & I just wanted to show my appreciation for the wonderful service. Its been a while since I've experienced the type of service you remember weeks later and she definitely deserves the mention. This was my first time at this location and will definitely be back because of her. The food was great as well - the Jack Daniels barbeque sauce was to die for.“

“This venue exceeded all expectations for a 70s themed birthday party. beautiful very clean space, delicious food items and the mixologist, Tony created drinks to fit the theme of the event.
