25 Best Craft Breweries near La Grange Park

“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 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.“

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

“Kinslahger is like no other bar place / bar / local in the area. The lack of TV forces you to engage in conversation, and the staff are particularly helpful in steering patrons to choices they might not think of originally but end up appreciating. They’re a one-of-a-kind establishment with a one-of-a-kind staff, and you won’t be disappointed in your visit.“

“Great cider family and pet friendly“

“2026 Chicago Brewery Journey – Second Stop.
Stopped by Lake Effect Brewery as part of my Chicago brewery journey. They have a nice space with plenty of room, and you can tell they’re just getting started.
The beer selection is pretty limited at the moment, and I was hoping to find a solid IPA—which is something currently missing from the lineup.
That said, every brewery has to start somewhere, and there’s definitely potential here. I’d be interested in coming back down the road to see how things develop.“

“Delicious lagers and best staff“

“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.“

“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“

“We had a great time at this family-friendly brewery! The atmosphere was relaxed, and there was plenty of outdoor seating where the kids could play while we enjoyed some delicious craft beer.

They even had board games and kid-friendly, which made it easy for everyone to have fun. A perfect spot to unwind and enjoy quality time together. We'll definitely be back!“

“I just saw the way Off Color Brewing took care of a family of ducks and I think that a staff who would go completely out of their way to help the wildlife in their area survive should be commended to the fullest. Thank you for being such wonderful humans!!!“

“I'm from out of town, and had some great beer! Definitely would come back.“

“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!!!!!“

“Great food and a fun 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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Great people. Food is so much better with the new chef. Only thing missing, nachos.“

“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“

“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!“
