50 Best Bars near Rolling Meadows

“Yummm! Was looking for a good place to eat nearby and came here based on the reviews--it did not disappoint! We got the corn cheese, budae jigae, and modeum suyuk. Everything was very tasty! There are a lot more things on the menu I'd like to try, but we stuffed ourselves full and still had leftovers.

Bonus points for the private booth seating and will definitely come here again for karaoke (and dessert) at some point.“

“variety of Indian breads, loved the Onion Kulcha! incredibly delicious taste and levels of spicyness are offered with every dish! no more spice overwhelm which can ruin the subtle tastes in Indian cuisine. courteous staff, gracious and available servers.

“I love this small and friendly piano bar. It has a great atmosphere and wonderful staff. My favorite part is the live music, especially Jeannie Tanner and Abigail Riccards.“

“A relaxed little corner spot serving Chicago dogs and cold beer. The staff is friendly and the vibe is easygoing. The space is small, so seats at the bar and the few tables fill up fast, but it’s no hassle to order at the counter and take your dog to eat elsewhere in the Terminal 1.“

“Fun place to be very friendly and good music.“

“OMG!!! Flying from KC to Fort Lauderdale, I wish every bar around the country had a bartender like Karolina at Jazz the bar in Chicago airport. She is amazing welcome, full knowledgeable about drinks, always have a smile on her face and made my time of waiting for a flight connection way better. Thank Karolina, and I hopeI will be flying to Chicago soon, just to stop and say hi.“

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!“

“Always had a great experience there. Will, the bartender, is great!!!“

“The Chicken Alfredo was excellent. The BBQ Wings were great as well. The Flan was delicious. The best part of the delicious meal was the outstanding service by Maggy the bartender / waitress. The beer is nice and cold and the Captain and Cokes really hit the spot. I am looking forward to trying breakfast here in the morning.

We returned in the morning for breakfast. We had excellent service again, this time by Isabella. The Chilaquiles were really good. They had a nice variety of their hotel voucher meals also.“

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!“

“We rented the sun room for a team party. It was a great space, nicely decorated, good food, helpful service - already talking about coming back for our next team meal!“

“Atmosphere was fun and festive, but with only two bartenders, it took forever to get drinks. I stood at the bar with money waving in my hand for over fifteen minutes. Staff was friendly and the fish looked clean. Typical noise level for a bar on a Saturday night with live music.
Thankfully, our friends got here early and held a table for us, otherwise it was standing room only.“

“Absolutely love this bar!! All the bartenders are total sweet hearts, the DJ even remembers your FAV go to karaoke songs, and we have more fun than ever when we randomly hit our "hometown townie bar" :). Thanks for always being so gracious to us!“

“👍 great place. Stop by and make some friends“

“If you’re looking for the perfect blend of great drinks, welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service, Miner Tavern in Des Plaines is the place to be. The bartenders are friendly and know their craft, the cocktails are expertly made, and the beer selection has something for everyone. The vibe strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lively—whether you’re stopping by for a casual drink or a night out with friends. The attention to detail in the decor gives it a unique character, and the food? Way better than your average bar fare! If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. This place is pure gold!“

“Had a private party here to celebrate my 50th birthday 🎉 All the guests loved the atmosphere. Everyone raved about the food and drinks 🥰 Their attentive service was much appreciated. Fabulous experience!!“

“Got my traditional pre-flight drink here on Monday. It was ~$14. There's limited seating at the bar itself. Not sure if you can take the drinks to the surrounding tables, though I assume you can. The bartender allowed me to bring food from the bakery and eat it at the bar. While I was gone he put a napkin over my drink. I love that! It's a little reminder to others that I'll be back and not to mess with my drink! Great place run by great people!“

“Great food and service! Really good people!“

“Kickers bar has a clear hidden/quiet type of ambiance in the Schiller Park IL. It is under rated since the quiet/hidden type of location. The fairly new owner had a bar in Melrose Park and it was too much drama with the local people that created the drama. Hence the better location is a trustworthy bar and no drama there at all. So there is events scheduled there that people attend to like singing&kareoke and they have days that the specials on drink and also non-alcholic drinks if you have the designated driver role with remaining sober for the night. All in all it is a hidden gem and deserves precedence as a decent place to serve Schiller Park. Also there is no fear of people looking for drama like some ex-friends(RMI) getting curious on spying on you cause they are kinda jealous or better yet having stalkeish type of character. Any trouble like this the authorities are 5 mns away.if any drama is about to happen. If people come here and live a ways away (like Bensenville) they have no place here.“

“Great & delicious food nice staff will come back again“

“Well that was the messiest, tastiest 15 minutes of my life! Those BBQ chicken wings served at the bar were beyond excellent.
The bar staff here are very helpful, friendly and funny. Service is brisk! A very enjoyable experience, one that i want to repeat. We'll done!“

“Love the vibes and food! Come here with your friends!!“
