The Lantern - Naperville

Terry runs an excellent bar! Even though we don't live in Naperville and only visit a couple of times a year, it feels like we're locals. The beer is icy cold, the Bloody Marys are fantastic, and the food is delicious! It's always one of our must-visit stops when we're in Naperville.

This classic dive bar gets crowded on weekends. The long, narrow layout can make it tricky to move around when it's busy. Drink prices are quite reasonable for Naperville, and the majority of the crowd is in their twenties. It can be difficult to find a seat when the bar is at full capacity.

This is the kind of spot you hope to find when you're exploring a new town for the first time and have just a few days to experience it. The music is vibrant, the regulars are even more boisterous, the beer is refreshingly cold, and the bartenders are friendly and inviting. If you ever find yourself in Naperville and want to feel at home, be sure to visit Lanterns.

If you like excellent chili and a very, very good cheeseburger, 'The Lantern ' is the place to go. Their prices are reasonable for the products including the cold beer. Oh, I almost forgot, they have free fresh popped popcorn. Great place to bring the family too!

No wine list, but definitely a great, great place to grab a drink in downtown Naperville. Quality atmosphere and a wonderful crowd for a Wednesday night!
