16 Best Pubs near Carol Stream

“Bingo at its best. This post has a very loyal core group of players. Last night the computer went down & we could not use most of the electronics. We took a vote and the players voted to play with old fashioned way, with a tumbler and verifying each bingo. It was a great night of camaraderie, good sportsmanship & having fun.The kitchen serves up great burgers and make fresh (not frozen) chicken sandwiches. Fries, rings & mozzarella sticks are always available.Bartender Jeff is always up for a challenge on your favorite cocktail--but don't order wine. It's mediocre“

“Food was good, portions were good, prices were fair, service was great - server kept checking if we needed anything, as consumers we have to understand restaurants are dealing with the same inflation on food product prices we are along with government programs being mandated on private sector businesses which ultimately ends up driving up costs to us the consumers. Would definitely recommend Anyway’s Pub!“

“Located in downtown Naperville. You can find parking in either the two parking garages or they have outdoor parking lots. I was in the mood for gourmet burgers to satisfy the craving. I came across this place after a quick search. Restaurant itself isn’t big but it is roomy. We came for lunch so it wasn’t too busy. We got seated right away and we decided to try a couple of the burger creations. We went with the fried pickle burger with truffle parmesan fries and bulleit bourbon burger. We also had an appetizer but it is no longer on the menu, so I’ll skip that. I would definitely come back to try some of the other concoctions they have.-fried pickle burger came with cheddar, pepper jack, fried pickles, tomato, and chipotle aioli. It was cooked medium rare. It’s a 5. Very tasty burger. All of the ingredients paired together nicely. Those fried pickles provided a nice crunch. Those truffle fries are the icing on top. Not too salty, prepared wonderfully.-bulleit bourbon burger came with swiss, arugula, bacon, sweet caramelized onions, and bulleit bourbon honey glaze. Cooked medium rare. That honey glaze was the star of the show, added a litty zesty flavor. That’s a 5.“

“I love this Family-owned business and especially that it is owned by a veteran. My family has been coming here for years, and my go to was always the Shrimp tacos! My last time in with a friend I tried a Burger. I highly recommend The Burgatory. Goat cheese on a burger- Who knew? It's drool-worthy. The other new addition I'm obsessed with is the Fried Pickles and Cheese curds appetizer. Why has no one else thought to combine these two before? And their homemade pie is unbeatable! New flavor each week. The staff is fabulous and these guys just celebrated 15 years in business. Cheers to Ellyn's Tap & Grill.“

“This place is truly a hidden gem. We were recommended to check this spot out by a local bartender, and we are so glad we did! The ambiance was really chill and non pretentious. Our mixologist, David, was super personable and well versed in his craft. He’s bringing experience from cocktail programs in the city to the burbs! It was a cute little spot that gave speakeasy vibes. We initially thought we were underdressed, but this place wasn’t booshie at all, and there was no judgement like some places. The cocktails were creative and well balanced. I’m so glad we have a place like this nearby. We will definitely be back soon!Update:We just went back because of our previous experience. I brought a group of 10 (all industry people). We spent over 1k as a group for my friend’s 40th bday. I raved about this place only to feel unwelcome in the end. A young female bartender tells us we were too loud. Honestly, we obviously had a lot to drink, but nobody was being reckless. We were told people were complaining. From a business standpoint you made us feel unwelcome in an establishment where we spent money. Take the $60 2 top who complained over what we spent there tonight? At least pull one of us aside instead of making a grand announcement. Chad you’re a great and talented owner, but train your staff how to talk to people. Just tell us, dont make a scene.“

“Had a great time here, the food was great, service was excellent, and definitely a good food category that is barely touched south of the WI/IL border. Worth a return trip and will be back as long as the beer selection is maintained and the kitchen quality remains steady to what we had. Excellent choice considering the location and ease of hitting craft breweries afterwards.“

“The bartender was excellent and very attentive to all the patrons' needs. When new people entered the establishment, they were warmly welcomed. We got our drinks right away, and the complimentary popcorn was a perfect touch. Thanks, Jill, for a great experience.“

“We frequent here. Haven’t had a bad meal yet, drinks are cold and generous. I like the vibe. It wasn’t optioned below in this review but I always get their onion rings; very good. Perfect for a quick hit sandwich n beer. Tunes are on point.Kid-friendliness: Kid/Family friendly in dining area“

“Hands down Juan makes the best tacos in the area!!!! He is phenomenal at his craft! And can’t beat bingo on Tuesday’s if you are craving tacos! Or any food for that matter, literally everything I’ve ordered from here the two years I’ve lived in lisle whether take out or dine in has been incredible!Highly recommend this family owned hot spot for great food, good drinks and awesome community!“

“I cannot comment on the food yet, but the menu looked better than most bars around, especially when considering the name. I unfortunately showed up right at the tail end of the evening when KARAOKE and the Kitchen were closing. Some people have all of the luck, right? Cheap drinks.“

“Everything on the menu is excellent! Cheese curds are the best ever and I am from WI. Pound for pound bar, food, billiards, can't be beat! Right on Rt59 close to I88 Seana is the best and works her butt off to make this place what it is.“

“Came here for the first time tonight and had a great experience! Awesome atmosphere and it was super busy! Their food is really good and actually better than I expected. We ordered the bruschetta and chips and salsa for our appetizer. Salsa was great and had just the right amount of spice. Bruschetta was a big hit- it had a lot of garlic, which we loved! I ordered the wings with Thai chili sauce and they were excellent. Their drink menu is pretty good and they offer some nice beers, including Two Brothers. I will definitely come back for the beer and wings! Our server, Danielle, was so sweet and attentive! She took very good care of us. Overall, this is a fun spot to hangout, have a few drinks, and eat good food at a reasonable price!“

“Great time!! My first time there but we had a blast! The band, Claremont Drive was playing! They were awesome! Their baby boomer music had us up and dancing all night long and they had a nice size dance floor. The food was good and everyone was wonderful and welcoming. Unfortunately I can’t remember the waitresss name but she deserves some kind of award. Apparently they had some people call off but our waitress ran around like she had a rocket in her pants. Took care of everybody in record time with a smile on her face and a good word for everyone. Hope I can be notified if Claremont Drive comes back!“

“Had a mango beer that was pretty good. Enjoyed choosing music with the touch tunes. Nice pool tables even though we didn't play. All in all an above average watering hole located right on Ogden a stones throw from where I'm currently staying.“

“I went on a Wednesday afternoon and entered to a completely empty restaurant. They had soccer on at one of the bar tvs so I sat there and ordered the boneless chicken wings with lemon pepper seasoning. The food was delicious! There was a perfect amount of seasoning and the chicken was moist on the inside. I would highly recommend ordering this. The restaurant was well lit and had multiple TVs. They also have a golf swing simulator that you can reserve so that's really cool. I'll be back to try more of their menu.“
