19 Best Beer Bars near Darien

“Reached here by a mistake! And a good one at that ?Amazing brews and good music - they even played me a Ted Nugent (Stranglehold) on request ?We were hungry though and split from there to downtown! But the time spent here was just great! Quaint place for a good brew, good music and good company ?“

“This has been my go to place since they opened. Mary and her team are the best! Very knowledgeable and down to earth. They always have a great selection and the pricing is good for the beers they sell. Come check them out if you haven’t already!“

“I love the atmosphere here! Very industrial, loft vibes are nice. Menu is very good. I would say the menu is very diverse and reminds me of a fusion restaurant. Great drinks( I had the passion fruit margarita) and so are rhe buugers! Nomi provided excellent service!“

“Discovered this place while biking to catch the BNSF back to Chicago. Usually would bike past to hop on the train at Western Springs or LaGrange Road. But one day I stopped short and popped in here. Really impressed by the selection of beer, wine, and whiskey. Before the Derby, they had three different bottles of Blanton's Bourbon. I asked for a smell (it's not Jimmy John's, I know) and they obliged me without so much as a blink of the eye. Quite an impressive wine selection. They are serious about their libations and happy to share their knowledge. I really like this place. Good vibe and great drinks. Check it out. Not sure why some clown gave it two stars. But reading that review, it's the poster who is confused, not the establishment. Cheers!“

“Delicious food: huge patty melt came with pasta salad also delicious! We also got an order of chicken fingers and they were sooo good! They were beer battered and the coleslaw was very good. Hubby walked in to place an order the place was super packed nowhere to sit. Bartender was quick to help place our order to go. Will definitely be back.“

“I had a wonderful time with my beloved cousins. The service was great and they treat you like you are their family and are just so enthusiastic. At one point there was a spontaneous spot of Greek singing with me and my cousins joining in with our server Pete!!Food was delicious, we had so many dishes which we shared in the traditional way we Greeks do and then we also had our main dish bit by then we most of us were pretty full so we took them home for later ( which my daughter enjoyed my dolmades)Love Greek Islands, hope we go again soon!!“

“Had a great time here, the food was great, service was excellent, and definitely a good food category that is barely touched south of the WI/IL border. Worth a return trip and will be back as long as the beer selection is maintained and the kitchen quality remains steady to what we had. Excellent choice considering the location and ease of hitting craft breweries afterwards.“

“Always easy-going bartenders with lots of local craft beers on tap, plus a good selection of bottle and cans. Ciders and NA beers as well. Bartenders will give you a taster before you buy a 5 or 12 oz pour. Customers friendly too, sit right at the bar or outside at tables under umbrellas and strike up a conversation. Board games are available inside. Seen beer drinking parents bring their little kids sometimes. You can bring your well-mannered dog inside too.“

“We came down from oklahoma city for my wife b/day and was craving wings but different, and we found this place, amazing wings, air fried not oil fry and full of flavor and crispy, the fresh hand cut fries are amazing, only wish there were more flavors to choose from, but none the less very satisfy, only regret was we found this place on our last day here and not sooner, the owner is very friendly, and easy to talk to“

“Came here with our 3 year old and grandparents to grab some lunch before heading to the touch-a-truck even down the street and absolutely fell in love! Classic, unpretentious food that's made well and a great draft beer selection. Loved the vibe sitting on the patio seeing family's enjoying some grub and drinks with their kids. Found our new spot for downtown Wheaton!Dietary restrictions: Several options for egg and dairy allergies“

“My man Mitch welcomed us in tonight with open arms and the greatest hospitality. Our first time trying the joint after seeing several great reviews, we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. The pizza lived up to the hype: Understatement. Thin, crispy, and delicious. The old fashioned was smoky and sweet; shockingly good for a brewery. My wife had a sour and I had a light beer as well. Great all around. We will be frequenting this establishment for the foreseeable future. Did I mention price range was incredibly reasonable? 5 stars: Understatement as well. Thank you, Mitch, along with the rest of the NWB staff, for having us and giving us another go-to in our rotation of pizza and drink locations!“

“My dining experience here was great, our server was Matt, he was very attentive, made sure our experience was great. The food didn't take too long considering they had a big party going on while we were seated. Definitely recommend coming in here ! And ask for Matt he won't disappoint!“

“Cool brewery. Good variety of brews. They have fun events in the evening like music bingo or trivia night. No kitchen, but you can bring in our order on whatever you want. They close at 10 so you can close it out and still get plenty of sleep. Lol“

“@joislunchlove seafood, I see food and I eat it... looking for something other typical bar food and it was this salmon or the meatloaf.... well I should play the lottery this week cause I picked a WINNER. This delicious salmon with rice and steamed veggies made my week.#perfectsalmon #stadiumclubatthemax #ilovemylunch #cleanplateclub #luckypick #shouldplaylottery?????“

“So, my good buddy, Johnny, aka Johnny bag of donuts was all like flipping out about this place telling me I need to try it out and that it's totally fantastic, great place to take the kids and omg they have THE BEST ONION RINGS.That was the first red flag. Who raves about onion rings anyway? Raving about an onion ring is like raving about pump number nine at the Mobile on Ogden and being like oh my gosh pump number nine. It's the smoothest pump at the gas station. It's incredible. You've got to try pump number 9. You've got to try it. It's the best pump in the gas station.Ok pal, calm down.Any sane human is thinking yeah it's a gas pump and a gas pump is a gas pump and they all pump gas. If you've pumped gas on pump 1 or pump 2, it's the same as pump 9 or even pump 8. Pump 8 doesn't get enough love.But no, John went on raving about these onion rings like there were some mythological creature. A unicorn onion ring only available at 302 South in Wheaton and it's the greatest onion ring your legal tender for all that's public and private possibly purchase.So I caved.We went there to try the mythical onion ring.And my thoughts?Well let me tell you this onion ring is a cut above the rest.This onion ring was superlative.This onion ring could quite possibly bring world Peace.This onion ring was yummy.Never mind the fact that the food is yummy and affordable.Ignore the fact that it is centrally located in a lovely shopping area.Ignore the fact that the staff is friendly and kind and attentive.Ignore the fact that they have a lovely outdoor seating.And by all means, definitely ignore the fact that they have a wonderful beer selection, you most certainly want to ignore that wonderful, wonderful fact. At the end of the day, nothing else matters but how the onion ring performs.All of these high praise are nothing because the onion ring is superlative.Come for the onion ring.Eat the onion ring.Savor the onion ring.Be the onion ring.“

“Starting with the potato leek soup, wow, the smoke flavor in this soup really elevated it to a new level. Then the burnt ends served over BBQ potato chips, it was a double good combination. (Pro tip: the chips that soak up the burnt ends drippings are dynamite. Finished of the night with the cowboy Reuben... Seriously good “

“Their food is excellent! We had the best waitress, Layah! The only thing I do say is maybe turn the music down just a tad because it was hard to have conversations with the people we had at our tables. Other than that awesome place to eat great family time. The atmosphere is great and the food especially is wonderful Definitely recommend“

“Our 1st time here. It was a Saturday night so it was very busy and loud. They had free entertainment so that was a nice touch. Our server was prompt and efficient. Sandwiches were very tasty. Serving sizes were generous. Food delivery was fast but the fries were only lukewarm. Will go back again and try other menu items.“

“Ventured out to 3 Corners in Lemont for their Thursday Specials. This was my first time at the Lemont location but have frequented their Nee Lenox location. Thursday's specials were a $12 Chicken Tender Meal (with side) and $6 martinis. The martini offering was straight forward: dirty, espresso, french, some specialty ones. Spirits included were house level and a bit sugary for my liking. If you're not a strong martini person, these would be great for you! Overall, the flavors were good! We started with the pretzel bites which we were a bit surprised they weren't salted. What I did love is the amount of sauce these came with! How many times one has to dip less to ensure each bite still got cheese or honey mustard; not a concern here! The honey mustard was a pleasant sweetness too with less of a bite. I got the garlic parm boneless wings which were delicious! The sauce had a hit of a zing. I wish they weren't served on the bed of lettuce so I could scoop up more of the sauce. My partner liked the chicken tender meal but appearance does not look like your typical tenders. He also loved the tater tot side offering!“
