Best Cocktail Bars in Park Ridge

This was our third trip to Red Rooster and it did not disappoint! We arrived early after the theater and sat at the bar. Love the new look with the band in the cubbie and the walls down! The band started at 5 and were fabulous....we had the squash soup and jerk salmon...perfectly done! Having dinner at the bar with the band is the way to go. Excellent friendly atmosphere with many locals. Just love it!

I found the swordfish to be very tasty and the clams were large and also very good. The desserts are out of this world. The service was wonderful. The only issue was the noise level which in parts of the restaurant was quite loud.

We had a reservation and were seated promptly upon arrival at a comfortable low table with a view of Lincoln Center right across the street. Service was attentive and cocktail orders arrived quickly. All 4 in the party said the cocktails were well made to asked for specifications, such as 'slightly dirty Hendrick's Martini.' Oysters Rockefeller were truly excellent and other snacks were good. Background music and noise level were moderate. Prices are $21 for standard cocktails with $3 extra for requested brands such as Ketel One. This is a good place to meet for cocktails and snacks before a performance.

Again, no disappointment. Couldn't get in for New Year's Eve. However, I was there Friday and had the most amazing dinner and drinks. Not to mention awesome customer service and ambience. I mentioned this before, their cuisine is the closest I can be to the Amalfi coast. Molto bene!!!

Menu changed completely - pls go back to the old menu :(
