Built from Iroko Teak wood and custom hand-etched glasswork courtesy of Ireland, the pub resides in the historic Jefferson Hill building built in 1845. It retains the original beams and stone in its "cottage room," where the Naperville Mayor Kendall used to play billiards. Divided into small, intimate spaces conducive to conversing with your pals and fitted with an antique fireplace and bookcases in the smoking room, brought over from Dublin, this place couldn't get cozier.

Average cost: $10-$20
