Naperville Bars

My hometown of Naperville, Illinois is a booming suburb of Chicago with nearly 150,000 people. With numerous businesses and a variety of restaurants to choose from, sometimes it may be difficult to know where to look. I have selected three popular bars in Downtown Naperville and compared them to make it a little easier for the consumers.
Features Bar and Grill is one of the local hot spots where Naperville residents and travelers like to stop. “I have been working as a bartender here for two years now and I love it. During the week and weekends we have great deals on drinks. We have $2.50 draft specials on Monday nights. There is always a good crowd while I’m working,” 23-year-old Adam Johnson says. During the day, Features is a great place for friends and family to come hang out, have a burger and watch sports on several televisions. By nighttime, Features becomes a fun hang out bar, especially for college students.
“I love coming here when I am home from school. It is almost like a high-school reunion when all of my friends from other colleges are home on breaks,” 22-year-old Senior at Illinios State Univeristy, Kim Paral says.
Jimmy’s Bar and Grill, which is located right across the street from Features is another popular tavern in Naperville. Jimmy’s is a family-friendly restaurant during the day. “After I take my kids to Centennial Beach during the summer, they always want to eat at Jimmy’s afterwards,” Naperville resident Jeanine Dale says. “They have an affordable menu with a lot of good variety.”
If you are a broke college student and are looking for with great food and drink specials on the weekends this is a great place to go. “During the fall season we have certain specials. On Friday and Saturday we have ½ priced bottles of wine. We also have $2.00 beer specials every night of the week,” server Megan McDonald says.
The last place on the list is Rizzo’s. Rizzo’s is another hotspot amongst the college students. “Monday night is our Pint Night. It’s $1.00 draft beers and half priced wings. Wednesday is our Blues and Wine night. It’s $1.99 soup or salad and half priced bottles of wine with a live blues band. On Friday and Saturday nights we have $6.00 bomb drinks of any flavor,” bartender Jamie Krug says. Rizzo’s is a two story bar filled with music and dancing on the weekends.
The next time you are in Naperville be sure to check out these three places. Now you know a little more about what each has to offer. Delicious bar food, good drink specials, and a lively crowd will make for a fun night out on the town.
