Last Updated: February 2026
Our Top Pick
Firewater Saloon - Edison Park
A large, high-energy saloon pairing BBQ comfort food with regular live music.
Notable Picks
A big, country-western saloon built for loud hangs: BBQ-forward comfort food, late hours, and a menu that rewards ordering in the fried-and-smoked lane. The move is to anchor with wings or an appetizer, then go brisket or mac-heavy mains when you want the full experience.
Must-Try Dishes:
Firewater Wings, Rodeo Egg Rolls, Baked Mac N Cheese
What Makes it Special: A large, high-energy saloon pairing BBQ comfort food with regular live music.
Worthy Picks
7.9
An old-school neighborhood sports bar and grill built around volume, games, and reliable bar-food staples. It wins when you keep it simple: wood-oven pizza for the table, then the hand-battered chicken fingers or wings when you want the classic bar spread.
Must-Try Dishes:
Handmade Pizza (Wood Burning Oven), Chicken Fingers, Hot Wings
What Makes it Special: A neighborhood sports bar known for wood-oven pizzas and hand-battered chicken fingers.
7.8
A neighborhood sports bar that’s strongest in the wings-and-smokehouse lane, with a menu built for late-night hangs and group orders. The smart play is grabbing the signature wings, then adding one sampler-style plate so everyone gets a bite of the smoked meats.
Must-Try Dishes:
Uncle John's Wings, Smokehouse Sampler, Smokehouse Jambalaya
What Makes it Special: A wings-forward sports bar with smokehouse plates built for sharing.
7.8
A long-running neighborhood sports-bar kitchen where the food lane is unapologetically bar-classic—wings, chili, and pizza built for groups and game nights. It’s strongest when you anchor the order with one wing flavor and one specialty pizza so everything arrives cohesive and shareable.
Must-Try Dishes:
Classic Wings, Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza, Tommy's Homemade Chili
What Makes it Special: A neighborhood sports-bar staple built around wings-and-pizza reliability.
#5
Emerald Isle
7.7
A neighborhood pub that’s easiest to love as a low-pressure hang: beers, TVs, and a straightforward bar-food menu that covers the essentials. Best ordered as snack-and-sandwich comfort—curds or tenders first, then a simple burger to finish.
Must-Try Dishes:
Build Your Burger, Cheese Curds, Chicken Tenders
What Makes it Special: A classic Edison Park pub with a simple, snackable bar-food lineup.
#6
Teasers Pub
7.5
A late-night neighborhood pub format where the draw is the hours and the hang rather than a chef-driven menu. Treat it as a simple, no-fuss stop—keep the food order basic and use it as a drinks-first neighborhood room that stays open when most kitchens are closed.
Must-Try Dishes:
Father & Son's frozen pizza (baked to order), Draft beer, Well drinks
What Makes it Special: A true late-night pub hang in the 60656 pocket with long hours.
