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 nearby watering hole that made it.
The Foundry, at 85 Executive Drive in Aurora, is lauded by Thrillist for offering off-track betting, a tobacco shop, pool, shuffleboard and volleyball.
"If your local sports bar had a torrid affair with a Vegas sports book, the results might come out looking something like The Foundry and its 22 movie-sized projection screens oriented along the main wall in a way that'll feel familiar to anyone who's squandered money on the Bears in Vegas," according to the Thrillist article.
Other suburban bars to make Thrillist.com's list include: Liquid Blues in Woodstock, Durty Nellie's in Palatine, Firkin in Libertyville, Palmar Place in LaGrange, Meier's Tavern in Glenview and Rock Island Public House in Blue Island.
