Alarmist Brewing & Taproom

Awesome beer, huge garden area, great vibes. Consider this a must-visit summer brewery in Chicago!

Incredibly friendly, warm and welcoming staff. A brewery with weekly specials on Tuesday ($3 off cocktails) and Wednesdays (50% off all wines) and pretty fair prices for beer pours. There is even a rotating cask style. It has a well lit modern industrial feel. During the warmer seasons they have a medium sized beer garden in the back, but all year round dogs are welcomed inside. No kitchen but a bunch of neighborhood eateries deliver.

Free spacious parking lot around the west side of the building and handicap accessible entrance and chairlift inside.

Reservations for the taproom seating (if you plan on hosting a party) can easily be made on their website.

I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area, or into craft beer. Their hazy style Le Juz won gold a few years ago and is still a hard hitting classic. Shout out to my favorite bartender Charlie for always my family and me feel at home.

Perfect experience. The outdoor beer garden is a hidden jem.
Very dog friendly. Recommend over and over again

Cool spot. There's a neat trail that goes right by the tap room.

Always a comfortable place to meet with the team, watch the sunset, enjoy some cold brews.

A great brewery tucked away on the north side with an outstanding selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. They have plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor along with a big parking lot. They have food popups fairly often, but also have many tasty places to order from in the area. Whether you're stopping by for an afternoon pint or having a party, you can rest assured its gonna be a good time!

One of my favorite breweries in Chicago. Good beer and it’s always served in a 0.5L. Plus it’s dog friendly!!

Great staff!!!

Great beer, spacious indoor seating, and a nice outdoor space. Not sure you can ask for more ?

Can't go wrong with Le juice! We have to make a stop every time were in Chicago

Lack of available merchandise. I buy merchandise from all the local breweries in Chicago and this is one of the rare times where there was no merchandise to buy. I also purchased a growler fill which I was told would be around $15 with my own growler but they charged me $27. They also did not seal the growler properly and it leaked in my trunk.

Fantastic place to host a low key event! So easy to communicate with leading up to our event. The place has great beer with some cocktail options too and we ordered some Lou's in from nearby. Highly recommend for a fun, casual get-together with friends.

Do I recommend this place? Yes, but depending on who is bartending. It’s never a good feeling to over hear a bartender call you derogatory names when you’re feet away from them- great way to lose “regulars” / consistent business.

Took my little cousin here as his first brewery experience since it's near his college. It was also my first time having Alarmist beer. The drinks were great! Not sure what struggles the bartender was having in his life tonight (Wednesday, June 12), but he was not very friendly to us. I hope he finds peace in whatever he was dealing with. Also, they do last call 30-40 minutes before posted closing time, so make sure you get there plenty early.

Came here for a birthday party one a beautiful day to enjoy the patio. La Cocinita had a food truck outside which made for sabrosa Venezuelan eats while we enjoyed the lovely atmosphere; inside and outside.

The NA options were also a bonus for those non-imbibers looking to enjoy a brewery setting. Will return.
