I can't speak for the bar culture or the drinks, but for a quick stop to eat lunch, rating it on just it's food and service, this place is a 10/10! I got the badger burger and it was absolutely splendid. The service was very quick, mind you it was only me and a few other people there but With how great the burger was, you can't go wromf getting some food here! read more

Pints - Photo doesn't do justice to the size of this patty. The pretzel bun looks darker in the photo but it was cooked perfectly and delicious! - Sports Bars Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

The good overall was kind of lacking , the sandwich was more bread than anything and lacked the flavor I anticipated. The service was dull and inattentive. The ambiance was sports bar but less engaging. I don't know if I'd try it again , I felt it was overpriced for the lack of flavor . read more

Pints is one of our favorite local spots. The beer list is excellent, and seeing Allagash on draft, our favorite, is always a treat. The food is consistently delicious, especially the burgers, cheese curds, and blackened chicken Caesar wrap. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming with great beer garden style seating and plenty of TVs near the bar, where we usually sit. Service is always friendly and efficient, and Elisa, our usual bartender, is outstanding. She is attentive, personable, and makes every visit feel easy and enjoyable. It is a place that gets everything right, from food to service to atmosphere. read more

Good Food! Fun atmosphere! Good service! Easy place to go and hang out. A lot of TV's for your favorite sport. Great outdoor patio and they take reservations! read more

We love Pints! Great space for a large group. Service is good. It's an easy spot for dinner with the family or meeting up with others. Legends chicken (as a wrap) is my go to order. Sweet potato fries are also good. read more

Food was good. Drinks were good. Don't expect to play music because of the owner doesn't like it it will be skipped and you won't be compensated. The first song we played was semi inappropriate which was fine to skip but because we played a country sound following up and it "didn't fit the vibe" our song was skipped without compensation. While the food and drinks were good not sure going somewhere you aren't allowed to play what you'd like on the juke box is accepted depends on what you're up to. Take your chances. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite on a Saturday night. Got seated right away didn't seem too crazy with the outdoor seating. Waited for like 5 minutes and then got our water and coke. Couldn't really have a conversation with my partner when there was kids screaming their brains out with their parents. I guess no self control, it was annoying. For food we ordered buffalo wings with ranch 4/10, barely any sauce it was dried up. The meat was okay but still kind of dry. Ranch was good but didn't bother with the veggies on the side. Fries were okay nothing too crazy. Did have a weird aftertaste though. Veggie burger 4/10, I wouldn't say I had high expectations because it was a sports bar but I expected something better. When it came out after 25 minutes of waiting it looked good. I cut it in half to make it easier to eat and it was like gliding off which I was confused. Took a bite and it started falling apart. It was like mush. It grossed me out and made me lose my appetite. The other ingredients were good. My fries were good but also weird aftertaste. Server was nice but probably wouldn't come back for the food. read more

Our friend arrived here at 4:35pm (Friday 6-20) and got the 3 of us waters. My wife and I arrived at 4:38 and not a single employee acknowledged us until my wife waved down the bartender at 5:58. It's a little frustrating especially when there's 2-3 people behind the bar and another employee sitting at a table and not one of them came to us. There was maybe 5-6 other people in the entire place. We spend a lot of money here but after this my wife and I will not be returning any time soon. There are plenty of other places around downtown Elmhurst to go to and be treated better. 2 stars only because the food was ok. read more

Food and service was good. Went at lunch so it was rather quiet. Would recommend for sure.

Just for a change of pace, we stopped by Pints to grab a quick bite.... They never give bad service. The food came quick and was good. If you are ever near Elmhurst, stop by for a quickie! read more

Recently came to the Pint to watch college Saturday football. Let's start with the positive We ordered the Nachos and they were delicious however we ordered the Guacamole as extra and were not aware it would be included in a small dental cup instead in the nachos. However, the nachos were delicious and would recommend. Skip the extras as it's not worth it. We ordered the wings - they were also delicious, 8 comes with the order and pretty hearty. The bar is beautiful and the TVs are spaced out perfect to watch any game which was amazing. The beer selection is amazing and several to choose from. The Cinnamon Prost by old Irving brewery is delicious and definitely recommend. Here is the opportunity for improvement - service Unfortunately it fell short here and they had a full staff and for Saturday a decent crowd however our server rarely checked on us and honestly I was super disappointed by that. We tried to engage and be polite to see if her attitude would change and nope nothing. I am Empathetic that it's difficult to find great staff and maybe she was having a rough afternoon. Also, to be polite I informed them that the soda was flat just so they can check on their soda machine and the server could Careless. I got another glass just as flat. From a price point perspective it was okay - 2 beers, a coke, one order of Nachos and order 8 wings the total was 58 bucks which isn't bad but the service should be solid. Overall I would go back on solely because the food was delicious. read more

This place was not good. The servers had an attitude that was unacceptable. I was charged extra for ketchup and refills were not free. Would not recommend. read more

This place was the "big miss" on our 4 day visit to the Chicago area. There were 6 of us who visited around 3:30pm on a Sunday. So we ordered 2 appetizer, 6 entrees. Lots of variety. Positives: - Cheese curds were good - Nice patio - Water was cold Negatives: - Cocktails were horrible - margarita tasted like lemonade mixer, sangria was super sweet, mule tasted like straight ginger beer. - Food was average, at best - Service was super slow, I actually had to get up to get the table extra napkins, refills on water, a set of silverware as we were 1 short. read more

I can't rate their food as we had to leave before ordering food, it was so freaking loud from the speaker blaring above our table!! It was linked to the tv that was, in theory, showing a basketball game, but was more like 50% commercials/50% game.... It was so unbelievably loud we had to cover our ears and shout across the table. We asked our waitress to please turn down the tv, and she said she'd try, but then came back 5-10 minutes later to say there was nothing she could do about it. We didn't even finish our drinks. We just paid the bill and left. Seven people! We would have easily spent $300 plus a $60-70 tip. But had to leave because we couldn't hear each other speak and everyone 's heads were throbbing! Thankfully, Primos Locos is on the next block. We ate and drank for hours and had a blast there. I will never return to Pints. Not a chance. Awful experience. I very rarely give one star reviews. This is one of those rare occasions. read more

$11 for a kids single smaller than normal slider plus some fries? Had to order another slider for my 5 year old because he normally eats 2 sliders anywhere else that has kids meals. The additional slider was $6. Will not be back for this reason alone. read more

Disappointed in my last visit to Pints. Atmosphere was lacking and the staff was inexperienced. I was clearly over charged my simple everyday bourbon. This is something I order regularly at other establishments and restaurants and the price was nearly double from others. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

10/10 highly recommend. We came from a really bad service experience elsewhere and not only did Courtney make it better, she made it the best! She chatted with us, made great suggestions and totally turned around our recovery day! I haven't been here in a long time but I'll definitely be back soon and I'll be crossing my fingers that Courtney is behind the bar. Thank you so much for making our day lovely!!! read more

Decided to stop in on a Tuesday night. Our server was great. He recommended beers and cider on the menu. My friend had the loaded tots and I had the badger burger. Love a burger on a pretzel bun! Plenty of draft and bottle options available. Lots of tvs to watch sports as well. It was a little too hot this day, but they have a beer garden and front patio for outdoor seating as well. read more

I've been going to Pints for three years and never had a bad experience That is awesome. Good atmosphere is great for sports bar

Fantastic experience. All of the staff were super friendly. Bartender (I think her name was Courtney) was the shit. Professional but fun/spunky. She was like BAM here's your drink then BOOM here's all your refills (I'm a thirsty bitch), ZING here's your food. Anyplace with sweet potato fries is gonna be a place I go back to. TRIVIA ON TUESDAYS!!! definitely coming back for that. read more

We rented the beer garden for my daughter's college graduation party and had a fabulous experience. The service was outstanding, we had a nice variety of food on the buffet and the space worked well for our crew (spots to sit, also easy to walk around and visit with multiple people). Highly recommend! read more

Make sure you ask for Ryan - he made my experience the best yet - 5 stars review!! He was so friendly and accommodating!

When I want a burger, Pints is usually my go-to. The last two times I've been there have been disappointing. the burger is beautiful, dressed perfectly as ordered, but it's so dry it's a turn off. I think it was overcooked from the medium I ordered (not a pink spot visible) or just not enough fat in their mixture. When you have to order extra ketchup to dip your burger in to alleviate the dryness that's not a good thing. Our server was great, food didn't take too long and plenty of sports (at a reasonable volume) on the television. I'm thinking I'll try again and if it's well done and dry, I'll send it back. read more

$18+ (without tip) for a simple Buffalo wrap and a handful of tater tots. Not bad tasting but very overpriced for an average wrap.

Okay I am making a comeback! Pints was awesome! Great food and service! I was the first one in today and I couldn't be happier. Try the blackened chicken but as a wrap. read more

We weren't impressed. It's an average sports bar, with average food. It was super noisy, and just not what I was looking for. If you're a college student looking for cheap eats and a fun atmosphere, this is for you. But it wasn't a great date night location for us. I grew up in E-hurst, so I was hoping I'd love it, but I don't think we'll be back. read more

Came here with my bestie and ordered the salmon sandwich. The pretzel bun was really good, the sauce on the salmon with the avocado was a delicious combination. The salmon was so flavorful and perfectly cooked (flaky inside), and the cheese on top was a great pairing. The fries were good and they have a good barbecue sauce! read more

Located in Downtown Elmhurst, this establishment is undeniably a college sports bar. The menu featured excellent burgers and appetizers. Amazing servers and bartenders and the drinks are AMAZING. Cannot give this place enough praise read more

Came here over the weekend on a 1st date, they were slammed (big shock, it was spring break after all), we were seated pretty quickly all things considered, and our server (the only on on staff that night) was very attentive and quick to bring us our food and drinks, the atmosphere was a little divey and college-bar-y, but it's in a great area in downtown Elmhurst and it wouldn't be a bad place to start or end a night. The burger and chilli were both very good. Check them out. read more

16OZ TO FREEDOM There's beer on tap and Sublime in the digital jukebox at this Elmhurst sports bar. Meeting Jason K and Nichole C after work one evening seemed like a good idea, and it turned out to be just that. We missed the happy hour cutoff by just a few minutes, but prices for beer weren't all that bad to begin with ($5 to $7 a pint). The nachos ($12) were terrific; they chips came loaded with plenty of bbq pulled pork, diced tomato, cheddar jack cheese, sour cream and green onions for color. We got tasty guacamole as an add-on ($2 extra, worth it) and a small cup of jalapeños. Nichole's macaroni ($8) wasn't the cheesiest, but the cavatappi pasta tasted great with bacon ($2 extra, again, worth it). Jason's 'Pints burger' ($15) had it all: pulled pork, a fried egg, crispy onion strings, pickle chips, and bacon on an angus beef patty served with tots! I got the sampler ($15) which included quesadillas, sriracha wings, cheese curds, and o-rings with sides of bbq and ranch. The wings weren't the greatest and it was more expensive than I expected, though it was still a nice assortment of unhealthy food :) Bread = 4 Circuses = 4.5 It was fairly busy on a weeknight, but we received help shortly after sitting down. They had a "12 beers of xmas" promotion going on which was kinda fun. One darker brew even came with a brownie bite on the side! Our server was attentive the whole time we were there. My experience at Pints was solid enough to warrant a future visit. There's lots of great pubs in Elmhurst and this is just one of 'em! Recommended. read more

Great place for appetizers or burgers, and to take in a sporting event. Inside or outside.

Pouring today, but wanted a quick bite before hitting the art museum in town. Love the old-ass bar. Daughter got the hummus, and got fresh veggies and great pita. I had an amazing pulled pork and wonderful fries. Nice beer selection. Chased an Allagash with a Krombacher. Very prompt, everything nice and hot. Cleanest bathroom of any bar I've been in. Excellent friendly service. I thought, eh, this'll be typical bar food, and instead was very pleasantly surprised. Bartender was a great guy. Can't wait to go back. read more
