One Allegiance Brewing Brewery • $$
10215 S Harlem Ave, Chicago Ridge

“This place was an absolute lifesaver of sociable mental health during the rise and height of the pandemic back in 2020/2021. With the pretty awesome outdoor setup/beer garden, we were able to socially distance and yet still be around others and feel like we or still part of the communities around us. It fulfilled the need we had a social creatures to be around others, but to do so in a safe way.Now that we are on the other side of the pandemic with it's decline & the need to be socially distant isn't as necessary, this place has a hidden gem inside with board games, and weekly fun such as bingo and trivia nights. I would recommend asking for samples of the beers before you get a whole glass, because some of them may surprise you in flavor by how tart or heavy they are. This brewery does not take their flavorfulness of their beer lightly. ? They even sell jugs of their beer that you can take home, and the jug has their logo on it (as well as merch), so it is a nice souvenir to keep even if for the memories.....or you can bring the jug back in for an inexpensive refill.The banquet hall that was next door was torn down, so it is much easier to see the brewery from Harlem Ave, since it's set back quite a bit from the main roadway. I could even see this place being used for a wedding/party venue for their outdoors appeal.“

Whiner Beer Company Brewery • $$
1400 W 46th St, Chicago - 9.71 miles

“Finally a brewery that's moved beyond IPAs! Service is friendly and attentive, plenty of seating, great variety on tap, and very reasonable prices, especially if you take advantage of their happy hour. Food from Heffer BBQ pop up is great and elevates things to another level. Very hip but not pretentious, and this is now one of our go-to spots. Try the micheladas with the 60609 dark kolsch, you can't go wrong“

Hop District Community Brewing Co. Brewery •
23 E 31st St, La Grange Park - 10.39 miles

“I recently discovered this place about a month ago, I love that they offer a variety of brews as many times you'll find that a brewery will focus on or put an emphasis on one particular style, but here there is just about something for everyone. The inside is very spacious with a large bar seating area as well as many tables. Regarding food options, I haven't tried anything yet, but I know that they have paired with the restaurant next door and the menu options look great. I love a good porter so my new favorite beer so far has to be the Dirt Mouth Porter, it's amazing. I look forward to becoming a regular“

“FlapJacks is a definite go to for wood fired pizza. Great atmosphere with canvas art and murals on the wall. Staff has an eclectic rock flare blaring in the background.

Paul manned the wood fires oven. We requested our Grandma’s pie and Tavern style well done. A true master at his craft, he did not disappoint. Give Flapjacks a try, well worth the trip if needed.

“I had a burger that was excellent. Cooked perfectly and taste very good. Server was very friendly and able to offer good beer recommendations since it was my first time here. The ambiance was nice as the patio offered a good outdoor seating area on the roof with a nice space. The music was pretty good also. The downstairs offered a seating area that was nice with large brewing stations to see. Bright colors and can be kid friendly. I would go back I believe the mosaically-yours ipa , delerio ipa, and the ideative-dom ipa beers were my preferred choices. Worked out well since I enjoy IPAs. The speculator cream ale...I literally felt like I could taste the corn flavor in it. Very interesting flavor. Overall, if you like trying out new beers its a place to stop in and visit and get a good burger or salad why not.“

BuckleDown Brewing Brewery • $$
8700 47th St, Lyons - 7.81 miles

“Since I got a growler for my birthday a couple years ago, I needed to find a local brewery to start filling. Thankfully this place is so close, and the beer is so good and reasonably priced. Gotta go on Thursdays for the growler fill deal! I think it's $12? You really can't beat that for some locally sourced brew. Their IPA (Belt & suspenders) is supreme!“

Imperial Oak Brewing Brewery • $$
9526 Ogden Ave, Brookfield - 9 miles

“Came here late afternoon by myself while on a work trip. I got two flights and they really exceeded my expectations. With a flight I always expect to not care for at least one beer as much, but I really enjoyed each one I got. As someone who primarily sticks to fruit forward IPA’s or pale ales, the coffee/vanilla porter was amazing!“

Wild Blossom Meadery and Winery Wine Bar • $$
9030 S Hermitage Ave, Chicago - 6.1 miles

“I love this black owned establishment. It is a winery and Meadery. I wish I had taken some pictures of the decor, but it is a beautifully kept space. Tonight was karaoke night. It was a lot of fun, the DJ was very interactive, and the crowd was Lively. The wait staff was very nice. They went over the drink options and the food options, and everything came out so fast. We had a chicken pizza with a cauliflower crust that I wasn't expecting much of, but it was delicious! I also had a Pomegranate Peach Margarita. The bartender was very heavy-handed, which is a good thing for most people, but since I'm a light drinker, it took me all night to finish the drink! The prices are great. The cocktail was $10, which is almost unheard of in the city of Chicago these days! If you are looking for something new to try, definitely check out Wild Blossom!“

“Milk Money Brewing is too cool for downtown Lagrange, but I still appreciate its' presence nonetheless. It's a local brewery with great drinks on tap, good cocktails, and yummy food. I happen to go there during sunset and it was brutal through the glass window, but that isn't so much their fault, just be mindful of the time of day. It's a family friendly place too, so feel free to bring your kids to get some food as well. I'd definitely recommend them!“
