What Are The Best Bars In Illinois?

In my younger days, I spent a lot of time in bars. Sometimes it was for work and other times just for fun. It got to the point that I knew if I was going to like the place before I even walked in. It's a new pair of pants. You know right away if they're going to work for you or not. It takes a lot of years of experience to figure that out.

According to Daily Wise...

Have you ever stumbled upon a cozy bar that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in? There’s something magical about discovering those hidden gems, where the food is comforting, the atmosphere is warm, and the memories linger long after your meal.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
