Best Patio/Beer Garden In Glenview: Readers Pick

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

The top vote-getter was Hackney's on Harms. It was followed by patios/beer gardens at The Glen Club and Grandpa's Place.

Hackney's on Harms is located at 1241 Harms Road, Glenview. Here are a few words about the establishment from its website:

"Ever since our great Aunt Bebe starting selling hamburgers and beer on her back porch during Prohibition, Hackney’s has been making people very, very happy. Today we’re famous for our big juicy Hackneyburgers on Hackney’s Dark Rye and our one-of-a-kind Hackney’s Original French Fried Onions. But we serve lots of other tasty items as well, like fresh salads, homemade soups, big fat sandwiches, comfy daily specials and more. And while Prohibition may be over, our beer selling days are not. Hackney’s has an ever-changing list of tap beers along with a full-service bar that can whip up any cocktail you can think of."

Readers taking our poll raved about the shade, lovely flowers, full-service bar and the food at Hackney's on Harms.

"Feels like you're in your own backyard — casual, friendly at home vibe," wrote one reader.

Another reader said, "Hands down the greenest, tree filled and most open venue for miles. The full service bar is even outside. There's actually no other setting like it."

Readers also shared some of their go-to-orders at Hackney's on Harms:

• "Tap beer and a Bison Burger. You got to have the onion rings too. Oops, don't forget the plate of raw onions."
• Brisket sandwich
• Turkey reuben
