Glenview's Meier's Makes Top Suburban Bar List

Thrillist has named the best 12 bars in the state that are not in Chicago. Do you agree with the list?

If you like to do your drinking outside of Chicago, Thrillist has a list for you.

The website complied what it says are the top 12 best bars in the state that are not in Chicago — and Glenview's Meier's Tavern made the list. 

"Meier's is the kind of timeless dive every town should have, and that far too many have lost. Cheap booze, greasy burgers, no credit cards, and no frills, whatsoever," Trillist wrote.

Other suburban bars to make Thrillist.com's list include: Durty Nellie's in Palatine, The Foundry in Aurora, Firkin in Libertyville, Palmar Place in LaGrange and Rock Island Public House in Blue Island.
