Palatine Tavern Makes List of Best Bars in Illinois Not in Chicago

Durty Nellie's, 180 N. Smith St., made Thrillist.com's list.

Do you think your town has the absolute best bar in Illinois? 

Thrillist.com put together a list of the top 12 best bars in the state that are not in Chicago — and there is one Palatine watering hole that made it. 

Durty Nellie's, 180 N. Smith St., is lauded by Thrillist for not only booking local bands, but also attracting "high-quality touring acts like Heartless Bastards and Against Me!"

With beer-steamed mussels on the menu and Three Floyd’s Gumballhead on tap, Thrillist.com has deemed Durty Nellie's worthy of a spot on its list

Other suburban bars to make Thrillist.com's list include: Liquid Blues in Woodstock, The Foundry in Aurora, Firkin in Libertyville, Palmar Place in LaGrange, Meier's Tavern in Glenview and Rock Island Public House in Blue Island.
