“I'm from out of town, and had some great beer! Definitely would come back.“

“2026 Chicago Brewery Journey – Third Stop
Made my way to Revolution Brewing – Brewery & Taproom, and as expected from a well-established Chicago staple, the selection did not disappoint. There’s a wide range of beers to choose from, and the Hero Flight was a great way to sample several—definitely lived up to the name and had me feeling pretty hoppy.
The space is huge, with plenty of room to spread out, making it a great spot whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or hanging out for a while.
A reliable stop with lots to offer and easy to see why it’s such a big name in Chicago.“

“Kinslahger is like no other bar place / bar / local in the area. The lack of TV forces you to engage in conversation, and the staff are particularly helpful in steering patrons to choices they might not think of originally but end up appreciating. They’re a one-of-a-kind establishment with a one-of-a-kind staff, and you won’t be disappointed in your visit.“

“Great cider family and pet friendly“

“Good rotating beer selection. The have a nice fenced in back patio open during god weather, and large windows that will open for the main bar.

The brewery also schedules lots of fun events, game nights, etc. And they’re a great part of the community.“

“Crazy awesome quality on beers and great staff. Love to come hang and grab some cold ones to go to“

“Hopewell has such a cute vibe! I loved the fact that they had a large selection of games for passing your time there as you enjoy the beer. The Lil Buddy was perfect. Just a little something. They also had super friendly bartender who was kind enough to give me a few stickers. I collect enamel pins, so was glad to buy one of those from the merch.“

“This Bar and Pizzeria had been on my radar prior to leaving the UK, for a short break to Chicago to watch AC/DC. Kev and I weren't disappointed! Great hospitality, a wide selection of beers made on site and a 'cup and char' pizza to die for. Topped off with hot honey, it's one of the best pizzas I've tried. The 'Tommy o two legs' was my beer of choice with most having quirky names inspired by the friendly staff. A great location to visit and one that will be fondly remembered. Keep doing what you do and thanks for the stickers! Cheers Rod & Kev 🇬🇧“

“Had a great experience at Whiskey Hill. The chicken sandwich and very unique take on fries was excellent. The kids menu is a bonus and my daughter finished nearly all the pizza. They were out of pulled pork and ribs but offered to create a burnt ends sandwich instead. Great recommendation from our server! It was delicious. The vibe is an added bonus. It's absolutely beautiful inside. I appreciate a place that backs up ambiance with great food and drinks. Plus, love getting craft cocktails from a brewery. It will definitely be our local spot from now on.“

“I just saw the way Off Color Brewing took care of a family of ducks and I think that a staff who would go completely out of their way to help the wildlife in their area survive should be commended to the fullest. Thank you for being such wonderful humans!!!“

“We ate at Phase Three today at the recommendation of my doctor. And it did NOT disappoint. We even got a complimentary meal from the Executive Chef so he didn’t waste the plate after taking pictures of his new special. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. There were so many flavors and they all blended so dang well. They even had some unique beer option that we brought home. If your down in the Chicago area or willing to make the trip, it’s definitely worth it“

“Love love this place. Their beers are phenomenal especially the milkshake ones“

“We had a great time at this family-friendly brewery! The atmosphere was relaxed, and there was plenty of outdoor seating where the kids could play while we enjoyed some delicious craft beer.

They even had board games and kid-friendly, which made it easy for everyone to have fun. A perfect spot to unwind and enjoy quality time together. We'll definitely be back!“

“Great food and a fun atmosphere!“

“One of the best local breweries around the area, all of the workers are amazing who work behind the bar. Besides serving great quality beer, they also have some amazing mixed drinks and specials made by Kristen every week. Highly recommend this place“

“My husband and I thought we’d try this place out and we were pleasantly surprised. I felt like this place would be a restaurant you would find in the city. Very cool interior with chandeliers and unique seating around the bar. The food was good, probably could of skipped the appetizer (Rangoon- it was just ok and came out cold)., our entrees however , were fantastic. I had a delicious shrimp salad and my husband ordered the meat lovers pizza. Both were awesome, we will definitely be returning! Also, the service was great as well!“

“A pleasant neighborhood brewery, bar, and restaurant. We generally order burgers or fish and chips, and enjoy a local beer with our meal. We ordered soft pretzels for our ap, which came with two amazingly good dpping sauces - yum!
Great casual spot.“

“12/3/25 night Brother from Texas and me. Fantastic Bar, best small town drinking place, “Great” Selections. Scott the Bartender is very personable/funny almost like someone I would hang out with. We group of 4 went Lunar Brewing couple of times 20 years ago, my brother and been talking about coming back. Today after leaving noisy,yuppy, pricy Yardhouse. We opted to Lunar, now I found new pub to spend our weekend chilly brewing after 30 years @ Brixies Saloon (Brookfield) which personally closed to me in 2017. I reside in Romeoville/ Plainfield since 2004. Nothing out there, Really“

“We tried Pho no. 1 Brewing tonight and we were really happy with it! We’ll be back again for sure! The Pho was a little sweeter than I expected, but it was my first time having it so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The beef skewers, egg rolls, and wings were amazing. All four of us left full and happy! Definitely recommend!“

“Great people. Food is so much better with the new chef. Only thing missing, nachos.“

“My husband and I have been coming here for years and if I’m being honest, it didn’t start as my favorite place. That being said, it’s easily one my favorites now. First let’s start with Sarah their GM; simply fantastic! She has been there as long as I can remember and my husband, who worked in the industry for over decade, comments about how awesome she is; she makes you feel like a regular every time you walk in. Then the food and atmosphere are second to none in the area. As a mother with a young family, I appreciate how it can be a terrific place for adult date night before catching a movie across the street, which also serves their beer, and a place for us to bring our two year old. I can’t recommend this place enough and they are constantly doing things in the community which make it fun, exciting and let you know they care.“

“Good beer. Good atmosphere. Great service“
