21 Best Craft Breweries near Glen Ellyn

“Amazing brewery! My family and I love to try new breweries and this one was exceptional. Very open concept, which is great when the weather is nice. 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!!“

“I have to say I was a bit skeptical about ordering the Savage Lite Brew and I have to say it is now one of my favorites. No funky aftertaste that I have experienced with others. I highly recommend.“

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

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

“Delicious lagers and best staff“

“beautiful location for your private events!“

“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 🍻“

“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!!!“

“Great beers (as usual). Tonight’s review is for the featured “food truck” experience the Counting Crow. Full disclosure, we have never tasted CC prior, although online it looks like they regularly service most of the top Independent craft brewers for some time throughout suburban Chicagoland. Given their excellent reviews, was excited to taste. Nope. Didn’t realize their posted 5-7 limited quantities meant exactly that. By 6:00 pm on a warm busy spring Friday evening, CC was already sold out of 2/3rds of their (flash heated on a table top griddle) menu of Pork belly tacos and Shrimp po’boys (on a Friday, in lent)? Which only left the many hungry to enjoy their signature chicken sandwich (original, medium spicy and extra spicy) served with chips. While the sourcing of their chicken breasts (decent size/texture meaty and fried well) was good, their temperature plated was lukewarm and underwhelming. Maybe a pop up on the patio isn’t the best way to promote your food, Idk. Not a fan and can’t recommend. Definitely won’t go out of my way to sample again“

“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“

“👍A friendly warm atmosphere, nice place to have a beer and watch a game.“

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

“The Favorite Beer of this beer enthusiast! This Beer Dad loves their IPA's and their Hazy's in particular. My kids love to hang out in the outdoor patio area, sit in their tents, and eat their McDonalds or Portillos.

That being said, YOUR KIDS BETTER BE WELL BEHAVED. This is not a place to have them run around and be little devils.“

“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!!!!!“

“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…“

“Solid bar good, consistently good.

The big thing, for me is, their dubbel they brew. I drink a ton of Belgian dubbels, triples and quads. Finding an American brewed version that's any good is basically impossible. Victory and allagash do an ok triple I'll buy if they're on tap at a bar or restaurant, but nothing I'm going to buy at a liquor store when other options are available. Whiskey hill's dubbel is fantastic though. I don't know why they don't sell it in cans ready to go.“

“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“

“A little disappointed tonight the burger was not as good as usual and service could have been better. Mostly they need to install acoustics way to noisy you can hardly hear or enjoy a conversation.“

“Great food, but they have a limited of certain section on certain food. Most of all the liquor is beer, but does have cocktails and other drinks. I love the lights it gives a romantic outdoor feeling. I went with my friend and enjoyed it. I had a Pork sandwich and she had a Philly steak sandwich.“

“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!“
