21 Best Craft Breweries near Des Plaines

“I passed by this place all the time it's super low-key too, went there yesterday with my friends had me Sinberry sour ale I think, and I also had me the orange creamsicle hard seltzer, and I'm not a big fan of hard Seltzer's, but this orange creamsicle was outstandingly good, I never had me a hard Seltzer with so much flavor, and Sinberry was decent, but the aftertaste was amazing, the female bartender that was back there was very nice and very professional, she would always check if everything was good and that we had everything we needed, or if we needed anything more, overall good experience and good service, will definitely come back here with my friends if not myself to try the $14 testers“

“I have definitely had some less-than-stellar microbrewery experiences but this was NOT one of them. 100% success rate on the interesting and completely exceptional beer here. Solar flare, Portage Pils, Ridiculousness. Coming from THE Bier Capital of the planet, completely comfortable recommending this small business to do business with. Very good Bier indeed.“

“Yummy beer, welcoming atmosphere!“

“We ate at Phase Three today at the recommendation of my doctor. And it did NOT disappoint. We even got a complimentary meal from the Executive Chef so he didn’t waste the plate after taking pictures of his new special. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. There were so many flavors and they all blended so dang well. They even had some unique beer option that we brought home. If your down in the Chicago area or willing to make the trip, it’s definitely worth it“

“Love love this place. Their beers are phenomenal especially the milkshake ones“

“Great brew, knowledgeable staff, and comfortable atmosphere.“

“Great beer. Great staff. Great live music.“

“Just awesome. Really. I mean, go in, have a look at the 20 or the 10. You would never ever taste another beer like these. Period.“

“I know you already have so many 5 star reviews, but I have to add my 5 star review. First of all, your bartender is amazing, so helpful and personable. Second, your food is delicious! The ribs were so tender and the fries so crispy. Burnt ends were also perfect. What a great dinner experience. We will be back for sure!“

“Nice space. Good beer. I had a pint of Twice Lucky. Excellent, live jazz from Chris Greene and Damian Espinosa on Sunday afternoon.“

“I’m from out of town and maybe stop here 3x a year and bartender always knows I want a BA beer and a Buffalo chicken pizza!!!!!“

“While the food menu was a bit limited, the selection of on-tap drinks was varied and plentiful. The food was very tasty and pleasantly customizable. I really liked how they had a variety of games to play. Prices were middling, not super pricey but neither were they cheap. Overall a very good time was had there.“

“Great drinks and even better atmosphere.“

“Came here the first day I got to Chicago and went back a few more times during my trip.
The brewery has a really nice open space, tons of sun and a dope vinyl wall behind the main bar. The patio is very spacious. I went back on a day when a band was playing and it was buzzin.
They have another bar area that has pin ball tables and extra seating. The decor and color is vibrant.
There were a few rotating food trucks the days I was there as well. But the brewery does offer a few bites. I did get the Bavarian soft pretzel (it's large) with the warm queso ?
I drank a different assortment of beers including a frozen slushy! My favorite drink to start was the Spicy Rickleada. More please! Hit all the taste notes I wanted. The IPA's are crushable and had to end it with stouts to finish. I won't turn down a Bean Spirit!
All the Beertenders are friendly. Vee was my favorite, she knows beer.“

“Came here today (party of 6, with three small kids) and everything was wonderful. Very helpful staff, lovely restaurant, and delicious food. We were hoping to sit outside but the indoor ambience was lovely. All of our food was amazing and came out quickly. We had a hard time deciding on how to order food for two toddlers and the waitress stepped right in with suggestions and portion sizes. It really took the leg work out of ordering food and hoping it wouldn’t be too much/too little. This is such a welcome addition to the downtown Skokie area as there aren’t many decent brunch/lunch options so we will definitely be back and we hope Don Julio’s becomes a mainstay here!“

“We LOVED this place. Such a cool environment. I had the best cheese curds here. The food came so fast. The beer is very good. We definitely will come back and will recommend this place to everyone. By far one of my favorite breweries now. Bravo.“

“Great brewery. Good selection of their own and a lot of good guest beers available. You'll find something you'll like. Along with wine and spirits. Great atmosphere and friendly staff and patrons. Worth a visit for sure.

Parking: Easy and a lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's accessible.“

“We tried Pho no. 1 Brewing tonight and we were really happy with it! We’ll be back again for sure! The Pho was a little sweeter than I expected, but it was my first time having it so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The beef skewers, egg rolls, and wings were amazing. All four of us left full and happy! Definitely recommend!“

“Perfect venue for any party or hangout! We had an excellent time celebrating a friend!“

“Good beer. Good atmosphere. Great service“

“I threw a small party in the Hops room this past weekend and it was great! We had a great server and delicious pizza, apps and drinks!“
