Lantern Of Lake Forest

The best bar in the north shore, hands down. Fun and creative decor and ambiance. Excellent service and friendly and professional employees. Food is fantastic and drinks are high quality yet affordable. The miniature trains running between the three rooms add the perfect amount of whimsy to the atmosphere. There’s a reason why the majority of patrons in here at any given time will tell you they’ve been coming their entire lives. Honestly, I’ve never interacted with an employee there that wasn’t exceptional, but Kosta the bartender in particular has been there for years and is a very well-known and well-loved face of the Lake Forest community. What’s not to love?

This place is kind of a hole in the wall but it's a gem!! They have a fried goat cheese salad that I think about. The food is delicious!!!! The kids meals are sized well and come with homemade cake pops. They have little model trains on suspended tracks above your head which the kids love. Cheap beers in several sizes. Yum yum yum. Definitely go
