14 Best Craft Breweries near Bartlett

“A little disappointed tonight the burger was not as good as usual and service could have been better. Mostly they need to install acoustics way to noisy you can hardly hear or enjoy a conversation.“

“This is a safe welcoming place for everyone. Families, friends and lone rangers seem all welcome. It has the warm vibe of a Irish pub. The staff and owners seem genuinely invested in their customers. The space is a unique noteworthy addition to Batavia. Oh, and their beer it rocks...“

“Staff- service- and the beer selections???? What else????? They are the best!“

“I love Energy City! They have unique and delicious beer served by friendly and knowledgeable staff!“

“Loved everything about our visit to Penrose Brewing. The beer selection was fantastic, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the bartenders were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to chat with.

We stopped in while visiting family in town and were glad we did. I’m especially excited to hear they’re working on getting their beers into Iowa; I hope that happens soon because we’d love to enjoy Penrose back home. Looking forward to stopping by again on our next visit! 🍻

If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth a visit.“

“Great beer, great music, great people! Love the seasonal cocktails, too. Each location has their own vibe. Worth joining the Optimist Club.“

“Great beers (as usual). Tonight’s review is for the featured “food truck” experience the Counting Crow. Full disclosure, we have never tasted CC prior, although online it looks like they regularly service most of the top Independent craft brewers for some time throughout suburban Chicagoland. Given their excellent reviews, was excited to taste. Nope. Didn’t realize their posted 5-7 limited quantities meant exactly that. By 6:00 pm on a warm busy spring Friday evening, CC was already sold out of 2/3rds of their (flash heated on a table top griddle) menu of Pork belly tacos and Shrimp po’boys (on a Friday, in lent)? Which only left the many hungry to enjoy their signature chicken sandwich (original, medium spicy and extra spicy) served with chips. While the sourcing of their chicken breasts (decent size/texture meaty and fried well) was good, their temperature plated was lukewarm and underwhelming. Maybe a pop up on the patio isn’t the best way to promote your food, Idk. Not a fan and can’t recommend. Definitely won’t go out of my way to sample again“

“👍A friendly warm atmosphere, nice place to have a beer and watch a game.“

“Amazing brewery! My family and I love to try new breweries and this one was exceptional. Very open concept, which is great when the weather is nice. They had a shuffleboard table that the whole family enjoyed playing. The food was INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend the chicken devolaj and the lazy dumplings. The beer selection is top notch and everyone found something they liked. Parking was easy enough to find on a weekend. We truly can’t wait to go back!!“

“Food is delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and chill. The staff is wonderfully friendly and accommodating. We were there with my 7 and 10 year old for dinner. My son has special needs and they were so great with him. At the end of the dinner when they could see I was struggling a bit with my son, one server came to me and said, “don’t worry mama, we got you.” So kind. Thank you Stockholms for being an amazing place. Highly recommend. Highly highly recommend.“

“Alter is one of my favorite places. Go get a big pretzel for 2, have a flight of really good beer, and enjoy the atmosphere. They have seating outside along the river, indoor seating that is like a 4 seasons room, and the taproom.
Full menu. Good food. A good comfort spot.
My last flight had 4 very different beers to try. There is a variety and often new beers to try. Big thumbs up.“

“Our waitress Alyssa was wonder! Had the prime rib and it was cooked to perfection. Great atmosphere to sit and enjoy good food and friends! Highly recommend to go and try it!“

“This was a wonderful treat! Excellent food-homemade soup; freshest salad I've had in a long time; and perfect for the season-that Candy Cane Cocoa was amazing! Beautiful building and so warm and inviting. And our host/waiter wasvery professional and attentive Highly recommend!“

“The food was so amazing, as well as our server Hally! Such a sweet person. Absolutely loved the Turkey Overlake and my friend absolutely devoured the Bison Burger saying it was the best burger she ever had. Thank you!!“
