19 Best Pubs near Gages Lake

“Pizza was horrible! Undercooked top with a burnt prepackaged bottom. Apps were cold and just not good( dried out and just low end) Drinks were top notch and our server was incredible! Love going here but the kitchen lacks the luster the bar has. It's unfortunate as a few years ago it was consistently good but now not much.“

“From the moment I placed my order at Kaiser's Pizza and Pub, the experience was seamless and thoroughly enjoyable.Opting for two pizzas, each was crafted to perfection, embodying the essence of what a great pizza should be. It's evident that Kaiser's takes pride in their food preparation, as both pizzas were not only made exactly as requested but also allowed for a customized addition—broccoli, in this case—showcasing their flexibility and dedication to customer satisfaction.The staff at Kaiser's Pizza and Pub deserves a special mention for their congeniality and professionalism. They made the dining experience feel personal and inviting, which is a rarity in today's fast-paced world. Furthermore, the efficiency of service was commendable, with the order arriving right on time, proving that Kaiser's values both quality and punctuality.“

“This restaurant was absolutely amazing! It is the definition of a hole in the wall. Service was amazing. As the picture shows they even made up a a drink just for us then wrote down the recipe. The was soup Chicken Enchilada was delicious. My wife hates clack beans and she still likes the soup. She got the fajita chicken wrap. That was really good! She put the whole thing away! I got the veggie burger with Gouda cheese with a huge amount of mushrooms piled on (I paid extra for them) I they came curly with fries or regular fries. The curly fries were just like Arby’s, which is a huge compliment from me. This place is highly recommended!!Dietary restrictions: They went out of their to accommodate my genetic for limitations.Kid-friendliness: This place is a bar. It really isn’t for kids.“

“I came to watch the band and noticed a sign on the wall talking about barbecue baby back ribs.I usually have a hard time finding places that cook them so they fall off the bone and melt in your mouth.This place said there's did and guess what? MY RACK OF RIBS TRULY DID "FALL OFF THE BONE AND MELT MY MOUTH" (for $20)Now, I might just come here to eat every week! lol“

“Chiefs will always retain a place in my heart because they bucked the trend during the whole covid debacle.While I'm not really a sports bar aficionado, if that's your thing, then I think this is the place to be.Bar food is better than average, and service is outstanding.I did dock Chiefs one-star on food because they dropped two healthy items that I really liked from the menu - baked cod and kale salad.You can't go wrong with a burger here, and the flatbreads are really good. But I'm not a fan of their pizza, which to my taste has too much cheese and two little flavor. Nevertheless, pizza seems to be a common order amongst the regulars, so I might be in the minority with this view.“

“Taylor is THE BEST bartender! Very attentive! Even if she’s really busy, she always makes me feel warm and welcome. Every time. In fact everyone working there does a great job of making you feel warm and welcome. Great Staff!. Food is great, beer is cold, and I’ve found a home.“

“The squirrel had a great time for lunch. Wonderful food bartender was awesome pricing was awesome. Service was quick place is very clean it is a bar with the bar vibe however suitable for quick work lunches. If I live closer I'd even hang out more.“

“This is a true Lake County dive bar and that's not a bad thing. Half of it was built in 1936 and half in 1954.We visited Wolff's on a Friday nite. That particular Friday was a good and fun nite to visit. The patrons were really friendly and freely shared the "historical" details of the tavern. We chatted for about 45 minutes.We visited Saturday (last nite). It's still a fun place but there was a group of extremely intoxicated and LOUD women at one corner of Wolff's bar. I suppose that's a risk one takes in a dive bar on a Saturday nite.Wolff's had a meat raffle in the afternoon and folks brought a lot of food to satisfy during the raffle. There was a lot left when we arrived around 8 PM.In general, this is a great Lake County Dive Bar .“

“Food was really good, and came out hot and pretty fast. It could have been a bit saltier but thats just my preference. The bartender was very nice and very attentive. He kept checking up on us and honestly was the best service we had. Definitely would come back and try out more things on the menu.“

“This was exactly the vibe that I was looking for for a nice meal before Christmas. I’ve never been to Deer Path but I am so glad I went. The cocktails were great, the service was fantastic and the food was delicious. I loved the fireplace vibes too.“

“I love the music here, I love the gorgeous atmosphere, I love the servers and the owners. Get whatever u want to drink and a snack and enjoy the gorgeous alley and bar and Lake Bluff sidewalk. I wish I could get here more often, maybe it's better I don't!“

“Today was my first day to visit.The customer service or the waiter was amazing. As far as taste really good. So far I tried there burger, cheese sticks and Buffalo wings. It tasted amazing plus they darts and games. I was pretty impressed. Im definitely coming back I have to try there pizza.“

“I haven't seen a mention of the beer battered mushroom appetizers. The best ever. Those and their sausage pizza can't be beat anywhere. The staff is also great. We haven't sampled the entire menue but everything we've had has been off the charts great.“

“If you do go you’ll have the best time and service with the woman who always wears crop tops and leggings and the older woman who has platinum blonde hair they are kind fast and amazing the food is always amazing and perfect as well some of the other bartenders are way more interested in talking to their friends than serving but i won’t give less than 5 stars because of the two bartenders and the food“

“I stopped on a late night to have a couple of drinks thinking that actually I was not going to be able to order any food at all but they can make a pizza after the kitchen closes so that really made my night because I didn't know where else to go around the area. The lady at the bar very attentive.Nice set up of screens to watch sports, Pizza was very good and the place is very modern and clean, I will return next time I'm in the area.“

“My family and I went here Friday night for dinner. The service was fantastic. It is extremely difficult to find a server/bartender who is great with kids. We had Meg as our server/bartender tonight and she was amazing! She clearly loves what she is doing. Our kids are begging to go back! While juggling multiple other tables she never failed to make sure our drinks were full and we were happy. She also recommended the big pretzel which was huge and delicious. The food did not disappoint. Pucks is a great family friendly sports bar for families who love hockey and want friendly, fast, and competent service.“

“Came here on a Sunday night after work. This was my first time coming here. I like the vibe from this place. A great place to just chill with friends and have a drink. We ended up sitting at the bar and the bartender was very attentive. We ended up ordering drinks and a couple of appetizers. We ordered the hot honey chicken sliders, pub sliders and boneless wings. Everything was so delicious. Our favorite was the hot honey chicken sliders. They also had golf simulators in the restaurant which we'll try the next time.“

“I've been looking for a reasonably priced, fresh fish fry in my area for a while and I stumbled on the Irish Mill pub. The fish fry is only available Wednesday evening through Saturday, or until their weekly load of fresh cod runs out. Since the fish is never frozen and they make their own beer batter, it is 1,000 times better than every other bar where they just fry up some dried up frozen cod strips. This place is highly recommended.“

“Tonight I went to Lake Bluff Brewery and had an amazing experience. It has a good family, welcoming atmosphere and the bartender Ellie was amazing. She helped me find a great beer and let me try a few to make sure I liked it. Amazing customer service from Ellie and the pretzel I had was amazing as well.“
