Beer on the Wall is located at 2 N Dunton Ave., Arlington Heights. Here are a few words about the establishment from its website:

Readers taking our poll raved about the service, beer selection, music and staff at Beer on the Wall.

"Easy place to meet. No obligation to purchase food," wrote one reader.

Another reader said, "Great selection, knowledgeable staff, relaxed atmosphere. Great spot for before or after dinner (usually at Salsa 17 for us)."

Readers also shared some of their go-to-orders at Beer on the Wall:

• "Any staff recommended IPA or Barrel-aged stout on draft at the time. They are constantly rotating. The pretzels are good, too."
