Big open space with friendly bartenders and a good selection of brews. They don’t serve food but you can order in.

Good beers with a serve yourself style pour room. Little expensive but you do get to try a lot of different beers. Wish there was so more variety of selection.

We had our wedding welcome party at DBY for about 70 people and so appreciated the thought and care that the team put into our event! From the start the team made sure we had enough space (both inside and outside) and food, and were super communicative before and during the event. Love DBY, thanks for an awesome time!

Their food is good, but my only complaint is that they should include allergen information and ingredient details on their online kiosk menu — especially since customers are required to order through it. This is an important issue for people with food allergies or celiac disease.

I ordered the banana pudding and later realized it contained Nilla wafers, which are not gluten-free. As someone with celiac disease, I can become severely sick from even small amounts of gluten. Thankfully, I realized what was happening quickly and went to the restroom to throw it up before it got deep into my system, but this could have been much worse.

When I told the main staff member what happened, he simply said, “Speak to the manager,” in a dismissive tone and seemed irritated when I set the dish on the counter. That lack of empathy was disappointing — a little kindness would have gone a long way. The manager also said there wasn’t much they could do, which wasn’t really the issue. I wasn’t looking for compensation — just a bit of understanding, and maybe reassurance that they’d consider labeling allergens in the future.

Because of that experience, I would never go back. To make matters worse, they charge a “hospitality fee,” which I think should be refunded. There was no hospitality in how this was handled. I suspect that it's just a way to offset credit card processing costs from their kiosk system. If I am correct, then it should be labeled honestly as that. If it’s truly a hospitality fee, then I should expect kindness, service, and care for customers — all of which were missing from my experience.

We had a welcome party in advance of our son's wedding at District Brew Yards and were very happy with our experience. Excellent service from Pete from the start of planning through the event. Our guests loved being able to taste the delicious beers and ciders and mingle with guests in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Small gathering for our Chicago area. Great margaritas on tap. Mellow ingredients, smooth 😉. Friendly staff, one special lady brought me a diet coke as I had a long drive home. Thank you so much for that.

Great neighborhood joint, plenty of self service taps with beer and various cocktails. Nashville hot chicken was delicious too. I’ve heard rumors from a current employee that they are planning to sell the brewery relatively soon. Let’s hope it’s all speculation.

The unique self serve setup encourages trying multiple drinks and finding a new favorite. The BBQ was amazing. The games on the shelves and the open nature is inviting for groups. A great spot.

Great location for different types of beers for different types of moods they do have barbecue food but I was there after their clothes for the evening but I'm sure it's just as good I had a good experience I would go there again and again
