“Great food and a fun atmosphere!“

“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.“

“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. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“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.“

“The selection of drinks here is vast and on point. The staff is knowledgeable and is helpful with choosing the best option. In my opinion, the music area is a little DIY, but i love it. Artists fill the space with music!“

“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.“

“Awesome other half brewery taproom and restaurant. Good choice of beers on tap and loads of cans in the fridge. Didn't have food but lots of it was coming out and looked good. Had a chat with the owners, all very friendly and so were staff. Its a bit out from downtown chicago, but you can get the number 8 bus for £2 and it stops 100 meters from bar ( see photo )“

“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“

“Some friends and I came in just before one of their private events. Rather than turn us away, they very graciously helped us pick out various drinks to go. Super friendly folks just genuinely excited about their craft. And the mead was absolutely delicious!“

“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.“
