18 Best Craft Breweries near Downers Grove

“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!!!“

“Delicious lagers and best staff“

“Crazy awesome quality on beers and great staff. Love to come hang and grab some cold ones to go to“

“Great brewery, family friendly, game night and my favorite live music“

“I was in town visiting a friend of mine for the first time and he recommended this spot. We were warmly greeted by the owner, who showed us the beer menu and we were able to sit wherever we wanted. Thankfully the weather was nice enough for us to enjoy sitting outside on the patio. I tried a guest beer and a house crafted one and I must say they were both pretty good! I also treated me and my friend to some breadsticks and I super recommend them! The flavor and the crunch was perfect.

Honestly I couldn't have had a better time and you all should consider stopping by and enjoying the vibe and the beer. You won't be disappointed by the relaxed and fun atmosphere that has been created by the owner!“

“I came here for a work function the other day. I have to say, if I could give this place a 10 out of 10 I would. Great environment with even better staff. Emily and Paul were 2 of the best bartenders I’ve ever had(which says a lot). If you’re in the area please make sure to stop by here! I promise you won’t regret it.“

“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“

“Had a great experience at Whiskey Hill. The chicken sandwich and very unique take on fries was excellent. The kids menu is a bonus and my daughter finished nearly all the pizza. They were out of pulled pork and ribs but offered to create a burnt ends sandwich instead. Great recommendation from our server! It was delicious. The vibe is an added bonus. It's absolutely beautiful inside. I appreciate a place that backs up ambiance with great food and drinks. Plus, love getting craft cocktails from a brewery. It will definitely be our local spot from now on.“

“Awesome Joint.. Great drinks and atmosphere“

“If you haven’t tried their pizza, shame on you! Chicago thin crust at its finest! I love their monthly pizza specials or just try a pepperoni. It doesn’t matter, but like Nike says, just do it…“

“One of the best local breweries around the area, all of the workers are amazing who work behind the bar. Besides serving great quality beer, they also have some amazing mixed drinks and specials made by Kristen every week. Highly recommend this place“

“My husband and I thought we’d try this place out and we were pleasantly surprised. I felt like this place would be a restaurant you would find in the city. Very cool interior with chandeliers and unique seating around the bar. The food was good, probably could of skipped the appetizer (Rangoon- it was just ok and came out cold)., our entrees however , were fantastic. I had a delicious shrimp salad and my husband ordered the meat lovers pizza. Both were awesome, we will definitely be returning! Also, the service was great as well!“

“We had a great night. Started with a drink at the bar- I highly recommend the spicy margarita, but I was told the old Fashion was good too. For dinner we started with the brisket bites and then I had the fish tacos. All of the food was really good and we liked watching the football games while we ate. We will definitely be going 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“

“When my husband and I walked in it was not welcoming at all. It felt like if the whole restaurant turned to look at 2 aliens that they never seen before (we are latino). Then the young hostess girl asked me how she can help me, like if I was lost, I told her table for 2, she then told me that they were short staffed and it was going to take a long time to get served and if I still wanted to stay. I really felt like leaving but we stayed. I'm so glad we stayed because the waitress was really kind to us and the beers and food were delicious!“

“Good beer. Good atmosphere. Great service“

“We had our company Christmas party here last week and I can't say enough good things about them! Everything ran so smoothly and ALL of the food was delicious! I still have people raving about it!! Special thanks goes out to Sandra & Eva for all of their help throughout the event! You handled the group well and kept everyone happy! From the crew at Reliable Home Improvement we appreciate you and can't wait to come back!“
