19 Best Craft Breweries near Downers Grove

1 Blume & Ferris Public House

4.8 Superb 69 Reviews

2201 Curtiss Street Ste B, Downers Grove

“Staff could not be friendlier or better at service. This place is awesome. Drinks are amazing, food is stellar, bar staff is extremely knowledgeable and courteous. There was a family whose kids were misbehaving on the back patio, throwing rocks and potato chips all over the place, and these parents absolutely inappropriately crashed out on the bar staff after another patron complained. Even though this couple was clearly looking for a comp on their check, the staff handled it like absolute pros. 10/10 would come back here in a heartbeat. To Evelyn Vela: for an establishment such as this, it is required by state law to provide diaper changing stations.”

“well I had the pleasure to work here today, and even though it was court related I am so wanting and willing to help again on my own! its amazing that there are places and people who are out here in the world that we live in that care so much for others when mostly the people we have in our lives don't bother to try. I truly wish that more people felt more willing to give back to those who really need our help; rather than to take for their own selfish reasons and that is my wish. my recommendation would to have this place not change a thing but for people to change how they are to others! truly an amazing place to wana volunteer at or even to donate to give to those less fortunate!!! thank you for having me today!!!”

“Although the food is good. whats special abt the Lucky Monk is the warmth and homey feeling that every staff member we encountered imparted. I had the BBQ salmon and it was very good although the menu is tilted towards hamburgers, hand heads, and a wide variety of beers. It is worth a visit.”

“My 1st time visiting Skeleton Key Brewery. Our Home Brew Club, Plainfield Ale & Lager Enthusiast (PALE) had our monthly meeting at Skeleton Key. The brewery is very nice. The main taproom has a large bar and plenty of booths and tables to accommodate guests. And most importantly the beers are very good! The restrooms are clean and additional seating and private rooms are available around back where the brewery is located. Our club had a wonderful evening at Skeleton Key Brewery! Thanks to the staff for accommodating our club members, we had a great time! Cheers 🍻”

“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”

They had a shuffleboard table that the whole family enjoyed playing. The food was INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend the chicken devolaj and the lazy dumplings. The beer selection is top notch and everyone found something they liked. Parking was easy enough to find on a weekend. We truly can’t wait to go back!!”

“12/3/25 night Brother from Texas and me. Fantastic Bar, best small town drinking place, “Great” Selections. Scott the Bartender is very personable/funny almost like someone I would hang out with. We group of 4 went Lunar Brewing couple of times 20 years ago, my brother and been talking about coming back. Today after leaving noisy,yuppy, pricy Yardhouse. We opted to Lunar, now I found new pub to spend our weekend chilly brewing after 30 years @ Brixies Saloon (Brookfield) which personally closed to me in 2017. I reside in Romeoville/ Plainfield since 2004. Nothing out there, Really”

“Milk Money Brewing is a welcome addition to the La Grange area. They have a really nice interior with chill vibes, and in nicer weather the outdoor area is relaxing. The food options are plentiful and the quality is good. The bar is well-stocked with a variety of their own brews, as well as many other options. The cocktails are very well-made, and the bartender Bruce is always friendly and super-knowledgable about the bar offerings. They even have a small area for private parties and gatherings. Available street parking or public garage parking is very close. I highly recommend this place.”
