Best Patio/Beer Garden In Northbrook: Readers Pick

NORTHBROOK, IL — We asked Northbrook Patch readers this week to give us their favorite patio and beer garden recommendations. And the results on your favorite spots are now in.

There was a clear winner as the patio grill at Willow Hill Golf Club got the most votes. The next two spots belonged to The Landmark Inn and Marcello's Father and Son.

Willow Hill Golf Club is located at 1350 E Willow Road, Northbrook. Here are a few words about the establishment from its website:

"Enjoy a beverage on our beautiful patio with a wonderful view of the Chicago skyline. Whether you’re looking for a refreshing or energizing drink before or after your round, we have you covered. With a chef at the course daily, we’ve stepped up our food offerings in a big way, with fresh grilled staples like hot dogs and hamburgers and other specialty items based on the day and the chef’s whims. We also serve breakfast daily, and offer a Sunday brunch buffet with made to order omelettes."

Readers taking our poll raved about the views, ambience, service and the crowd at Willow Hill.

"Outstanding venue with amazing views of downtown and the sunset. Nowhere else can you get an elevated view like this!" wrote one reader.

Another reader said, "Golf is right next to it and it's got a great vibe. Unbeatable atmosphere unless you drive all the way to Nashville."

Readers also shared some of their go-to-orders at Willow Hill:

• "An ice cold beer as the sun goes down."
• Rum and Tonic
• Revolution Hazy Hero
• Gatecrasher IPA
