Rosie O Reilly’s

My first time here was a little over a year ago. Loved it! Amy is by far the sweetest* most outgoing * funniest bartender we have ever met! We’ve come back for her good energy and great service but we also think it has such Great set up in there too! Love the bar layout and Dart area! Awesome for games too! It was perfect for Thursday night football and Saturday after dinner drinks! Great place! Highly recommend!

This place is great. The staff is wonderful, we went here on a Friday after dinner. It was our first night out since baby, and we had a nice time here. The bartender was really sweet and the prices were pretty average. We will probably be back, if we ever go out without baby again… It’s easy to get to and not too far from home.

Nice spot to grab a beer or two. At least 6 beers on tap, price is average but they have drink specials everyday, offering selected tall boy beers for $ 3, nice.
Place is right off Gary, hard to miss. Lots of parking in front, side, and back. Inside is well lit, with a squarish bar that may be a squeeze to get by if people are sitting along the side by the door and you weigh more than 85lbs. Service is quick and patrons are friendly, worth a visit.

Love this joint. Great drinks, amazing people, and a lively atmosphere. You should stop in!

I like this little place good crowd, yes its a dive bar but everyone here is really friendly and I always have a great time when we come here!

I am a fan because this place has been around longer that me.

If you are I’m the mood to sit in a musty room while aerosmith and kiss play on repeat all night, this is the bar for you. If you love fat, old, dejected, morose and irritable men that hover over their domestic ales a la «mad world», this is the bar for you. If you want to be surrounded by middle-​aged, ex-​high school football stars that think Salinger is a disorder, o’conner is a brew and Wallace is some sort of rugby player, you are in luck.

This place is great. I have been going there since it was The Gables. It is a great bar. The crowd is nice, music is good and the staff is awesome. Brian is AWESOME and so are the rest of the bartenders. Tip them well and they will take care of you.

Not bad at all Ol’ Rosies. I was greatly impressed by my visit to Rosies. After a bunch of friends got a little to wild for Cozymels we needed something a little more music so my buddy Joe could get his groove on! I was told it was kind of a small dive type bar but there is no way I would descibe it as a dive bar. Small yes but its clean, theres slightly bright lighting there arent any super smelly creepy dudes lining the bar ready to pounce! Which is a plus!.The cliental was a nice little mix from old to young. Theres a dart board along with some other video game thingy (didnt get a good look at it). The beer cheap. They have a bunch of daily specials which always make any bar better! So if your looking for a nice little fun bar head over. But obviously if you live in Wheaton you know this since there arent any other bars in Wheaton, so your only choice=Rosies!

Small place in the middle of nowhere. Cheap drinks and they are open in the morning. I go there because I work nights so its like the equivalent of 8pm. While talking to the other patrons they all seem to be alcoholics. I make sure I leave before they do, so they don’t hit me on the road. They have good drunk people food there frozen pizza and the like. Bar tender shares a little to much which is annoying. This place is a dive but thats ok because its not trying to be anything else.

If you feel like having a high school reunion in a small ass place go here, also the guy bartender is a jerk, he half filled our drinks and said «ill fill them more when you tip me» now usually i tip at the end of the night not after every drink thats just stupid.
place is too small and too many douchebags

Such a nice old historic place I am surprised that history hating Dupage county hasn’t demolished this place. A young crowd hangs out here as Wheaton college kids need and drink too. It is small but pretty cool. It was a house at one time. No ugly strip mall bar here. Like I said if I knew about this place when I was younger I would go all the time. I am surprised that Carol Stream has something this special. Only problem with bars like that are rude people who always have to play the juke box machine.

So great, so odd, so fun!
Loud ass music in a tiny ass bar. It was someone’s house at one point, now it’s just a house party. The crowd was fun and polite, the drinks were cheap, and they have parking! What’s not to love?

Rosie’s is a rad place to spend some quality imbibing in the good old town of Wheaton. I disagree with the dive bar reference in the earlier post. Rosie’s is pretty much the only bar in Wheaton. Sure, you could go to a restaurant that has a bar, but Rosie’s is all there is if you’re looking for just a straight up drinking establishment, it’s not the classiest place in town, but the place (including the bathrooms) is clean, the bartenders are friendly, and they serve more than warm beer and whiskey.
If you want to go to a dive bar in area, I’d suggest rolling north up Gary Ave for about a mile. There, you’ll find Sully’s, a town drunk institution. If you’re looking for something less trashy, but still quite dirty and dive-​y, drive ½ mile more, and you’ll soon arrive at Pub Yahoo, in the basement of the American Legion.
Rosie’s has a fabulous beer and booze selection. They carry Kilo Kai Rum (the first bar in the area I’ve seen to have it), tons of different types of Tequila, and all kinds of other booze. It seems like every time I go there, which is often they have something new to try. Last time I was there they had a crazy black rum with an octopus on the bottle, it was pretty delicious. The bartenders are very helpful if you’re into trying new things
Marla is by far my favorite bartender there, she’s very personable, and super attentive, Ami is awesome, as well. The natural setting of Rosie’s just adds to it’s appeal. AND they open at 6:30am everyday except Sunday, so if you’re ready for some boozin’, there’s a good chance Rosie’s is open and ready for you.

Dress it up anyway you want to, this is still a dive bar. This place is pretty unique as it overlooks a «protected» area which has lots of trees. That’s your view in the back and on either side, but if you are sitting on the front porch, you can see the cars whizzing by on Gary Avenue.
This place is nicer than before it’s rehab. It’s still a room with a square bar, so it’s not that big. They always have signs out in front advertising specials, the latest tempting you to stop in for some breakfast.
I have visited here twice. One time I was with a group of gals and we just hung out away from the bar and it was ok. Another time we were trying to watch a game and sit at the bar and there were a few rednecks there that I just couldn’t take!
So, it’s pretty much a hit or miss thing as far as the crowd goes. Don’t be looking for any fancy drinks here, it’s pretty much a longneck place!
