35 Best Craft Breweries near Glenview

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

“Great food and love the booth“

“Maplewood is a great local neighborhood brewery. It is cozy on the inside, and bright on the outside patio. They have flights of beers, ipas, sloggers and stouts. They've expanded both in space and their menu now includes food. I really enjoyed all four of my mini beers, and the fries were done really well. I love this place. Today I had a flight of four beers, and order of fries, tax and a 20% tip everything came out to 28th from just me“

“Spiteful Brewing Tap room is a relaxed, comfortable space with a wide variety of beers (to drink on premises or take away.)
I had the vienna lager and an IPA. Both were super tasty. My friends and I shared a large pretzel served piping hot with generous dollop of mustard. I am excited to go again soon.“

“Hop Butcher for the World kicked off my 2025 Chicago brewery exploration, and it absolutely set the bar high. Amazing spot with a cool, laid-back vibe and a killer variety of beers. Everything I tried was packed with flavor—these folks clearly know what they’re doing. The space feels modern but not overdone, and it’s the kind of place where you can hang out for a while and just enjoy what’s in your glass. If you’re into hops, this is a must-visit in Chicago.“

“Hopewell has such a cute vibe! I loved the fact that they had a large selection of games for passing your time there as you enjoy the beer. The Lil Buddy was perfect. Just a little something. They also had super friendly bartender who was kind enough to give me a few stickers. I collect enamel pins, so was glad to buy one of those from the merch.“

“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.“

“Great place to have a beer. Roomy, cool vibe, and the staff is great. Bonus: the beer is really good, and there's usually something special on tap.

There's are N/A options as well as ciders and some kid-friendly drinks (pop), and there are generally some kids around, so it's also a nice place for newer parents.

You can bring food or order delivery, so you've got tons of options.“

“I attended a private event here yesterday and it was awesome. The venue was so cool, the staff was excellent, and the food and drinks were great. The event coordinators made a great choice when they picked Double Clutch. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back.“

“Do I recommend this place? Yes, but depending on who is bartending. It’s never a good feeling to over hear a bartender call you derogatory names when you’re feet away from them- great way to lose “regulars” / consistent business.“

“First time in for drinks & the serving crew welcomed us by a ring of their bell. Their ginger bread brew was fab & we ordered a pretzel. All were very good! 💯 Percent Great experience before the PBR show! Would recommend this place as a definite stop!“

“Nice atmosphere for friends and fellowship“

“Great beers. Great service and friendly, knowledgeable staff at Dovetail.“

“A delightful space with many beers“

“Yummy beer, welcoming atmosphere!“

“Great atmosphere and Georgia Rae was awesome. Drinks for very 😋 delicious. I'd definitely recommend coming.“

“I purchase Brava Kombucha at the Arlington Heights farmers market in the summer. It's the lowest sugar artisanal Kombucha available, and their flavors are delicious. Get there in the morning as they often sell out by the afternoon. So good for digestion.“

“We love this place--it's a fantastic place to take friends/family over the summer months because they have 1) the best patio, 2) the friendliest staff, and 3) great food and beer. The inside is also really cozy, so it's kind of perfect for staying warm during the winter, when the sun sets at 4pm and temperatures dip below freezing.“

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

“This is my new barbecue go-to in Niles. I live close to here, and it is so easy to just come over and have a drink. They host some events, including live music and a book fair. It is a great place to have a party, and just plain have fun. I personally recommend the brisket. The fries here are something to crave. It is in kind of an industrial area. But the brewery has an industrial vibe. I totally recommend this place for anyone looking for a bar/bbq kind of place.“

“Great beer. Fresh, crisp, & tasty.“

“When you're about to turn into N capitol st, make sure you make a wide enough turn from the left lane! Park on the street then go check in, backing up is tight, you have a U turn room at dead-end,
Nice ppl and quick unloading,“

“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.“

“Amazing food and drinks. We watched the Cubs game!“

“Amazing brewery, definitely a must try. It's self-service so you can do small pours and taste as many as you'd like. Nearly every beer was phenomenal, I was especially happy with their unique brand of a Hefenweize called Chicago-Hefe. They have a huge selection. Plenty of outdoor seating and indoor seating. As a bonus the food there was also very good, the wings were cooked to perfection. Plenty of board games too for passing the time with friends and family. I'll definitely be back!“

“Great drinks and even better atmosphere.“

“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!“

“They've got something for everybody, for every palette. Lately, my favorite brewery.“

“Great burgers, cold beer !“

“Located in the heart of Highwood is Broken Tee, a great brewery with an amazing selection of beer and food. There are two rooms with plenty of seating, even a few couches for larger groups. There is also a nice outdoor seating outside the perimeter of the brewery. The staff are friendly and always helpful when trying to select one of their many fine brews. Great place to start a fun night in Highwood. Parking is a little tricky so come early if you’re meeting someone.“

“A pleasant neighborhood brewery, bar, and restaurant. We generally order burgers or fish and chips, and enjoy a local beer with our meal. We ordered soft pretzels for our ap, which came with two amazingly good dpping sauces - yum!
Great casual spot.“

“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!“

“Greet beers , owners and staff. Highly recommend!“

“As musicians playing at Uncommon Ground for the first time, we couldn’t have had a better experience: really friendly and accommodating staff and sound man, a great, cozy music room packed with listeners who bought tickets (we were the opening act, but there were more people than those who came for the headliner). You can dine in the music room (I think), as people were seated at tables. The restaurant section looks cozy and inviting. The food was totally ok, but not amazing and it’s overpriced (a burger or bean burger for around $15 with no sides). Their flagship IPA beer was great. The bartender friendly. We had a great time there.“

“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!“
