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“

“We stayed in our RV on property as part of our Harvest Host membership.

We each had a sampler where you can try up to 4 meads, which is made from honey. They have one that tastes like pino grigio (dry meade who knew), another that takes like apple pie (delicious), another like PB & J (yummy), they have spicy mead (very hot and delicious), etc. They were all delicious! Most of their meads are gluten and dairy free with the exception of the meads fermented in bourbon barrels.
I would love to come back for a paint and sip party and other special events. They had candle making tonight.
The outdoor seating in the back is a beautiful garden setting perfect for any occasion.
This is an amazing find!“

“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...😎“

“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.“
