14 Best Craft Breweries near Chicago Ridge

“Great food and a fun atmosphere!“

“Excellent brews. Very welcoming bartenders. Meg is a gem. The crowd is friendly. The food from Heffer BBQ is delicious, prepared by pit master Shawn and his charming wife, Lenore. The tap room is large, modern, and accommodating. Whiner Beer Company and Heffer BBQ are both highly recommended. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“The ambiance, friendly atmosphere, quirky and yet comfortable vibe as well as absolutely exceptional beers. From porters, sours and mixed drinks… sets the standard of what kind of brewery I want to be at.“

“Invited some friends to join me for drinks - wasn't sure if there would be 5 or 20, but kids would be there. People loved their drinks, kids were happy and comfortable and it was a relaxed and perfect spot! First time there but next time I am in town I will be back - owners have created an amazing brewery- thank you Jim and Shane!!“

“THE place to be in Blue Island! Alan & the crew have been so welcoming to our entire Witchorama community! This place really knows how to host an event. We love it here! Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good time. 👍👍👍“

“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 🇬🇧“

“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!“

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

“had a great time food good & overall a great nite“

“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“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about this gem. Don’t let the location fool you - it’s an oasis once you step inside and the backyard patio is incredible and very peaceful. Meads deserve their own separate ode - all of them, and I truly mean all, are amazing and each is very unique but at the same time has cohesive and rounded taste.“

“Food and drink- awesome - awesome!“

“Hands down the Butter Burger was the best burger I have ever enjoyed, and I have thrown back a few burgers in my time...😎“

“Had lunch here before heading to Brookfield Zoo. Milk Money has a welcoming staff and atmosphere in a friendly area. We sat outside and although the traffic was noisy it was very pleasant. We had the Street Crab Corn for an appetizer, the Lobster Roll and the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich for main dishes. The Buffalo chicken is absolutely the best I’ve ever had. Right amount of spice and crispiness.

Their Vibrant IPA and guest beer Booter from Blind Corner Brewery were delicious (my wife and I are IPA lovers).

Highly recommend this place if you want quality food, beer, and experience.“
