This place has aura and is a 10/10. This is the best place to be!! The environment is amazing and the staff is so nice! I have great conversations and great connections with almost all of them! Had the best time making memories in this place and would highly recommend!!

They have Karaoke nights on Tuesdays and it such a fun time seeing how everyone comes together to celebrate each other!

The drinks are amazing and really good price for everything! I would recommend trying the pink lantern!!

If anyone tells you this place is bad it’s cause they probably ruined the experience for themselves or don’t know bar rules!

Almost missed out on this place because of the construction but glad I stopped in for the famous lantern burger. It’s on the edge of downtown Naperville so parking is easier than it looks at first.

First off: very chill spot – which is unusual for natty Naperville. Basically an old school tavern, saw a bunch of well off looking guys day drinking; I was the only one ordering food at 2 in the afternoon . They all seem to know each other which is quaint these days.

The lantern burger was amazing! Bun seems store bought but the patty is the real deal – thick, juicy, well seasoned and cooked with a nice sear on. Easy in and out and not much more than Mickey D’s. Will return.

The lanterns atmosphere is so comfortable, the staff is beyond friendly, the food is off the charts. So cool to be at the oldest tavern in Naperville.

So much fun!!! I come here every time I’m in town and always have a blast. Last time I came on trivia night and this trip, karaoke Tuesday. Shaun is amazing but the crowd here also makes it fun. Thanks for a great time!

Your favorite hometown place, even if this isn’t your home. If you’re local to Naperville, you already know about The Lantern. You’ve been there and will be there again.
Great food, better people, incredible atmosphere. You feel it as soon as you walk in the door.

This is what a bar should be. Great burgers (get The Lantern, not the 1/4 lb). Back room for lunch with friends and popcorn while you decide what to order. No pretence. No snobbery. No dressing to impress. And more beer options than you could ever want.

If you like dive bar vibes and fun atmosphere, this place is for you. They were playing great music. Never had to wait on a drink. Bartenders were super friendly. Great bar.

Not much has changed, which i LOVE! This was literally my first bar as a college student quite a few years back, and been getting there fairly often ever since. None of my OG fave bartenders and managers are there anymore, but all the people still seem nice, and like i said, the place looks and feels the same, and there are still some reasonable prices to be had on certain beers and food. Come on people, everyone knows the Lantern ROCKS! Just a fun place to meet friends old & new and relax, have a good time.
