10 Best Craft Breweries near Lake Bluff

“Tonight I went to Lake Bluff Brewery and had an amazing experience. It has a good family, welcoming atmosphere and the bartender Ellie was amazing. She helped me find a great beer and let me try a few to make sure I liked it. Amazing customer service from Ellie and the pretzel I had was amazing as well.“

“Hands down the best grow store that I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to quite a few. The guys are really good people and they actually help you instead of trying to get you to buy a bunch of useless stuff. Gotta support them every chance I get.“

“Love Pips! My sister and I discovered this place a few months ago. Delicious hand crafted cocktails. Everything is house made from their infused liquors, all syrups and meads. Joy is a cocktail master! Matt is very personable and knowledgeable, he's the mead master, just don't ask him about pizza. lol. Joy has the low down on pizza delivery. I highly recommend this amazing Gurnee find. Only recommendation, turn down the bright lights.“

“I love coming to Broken Tee for their Wednesday trivia nights. They have a good selection of drinks and of their food I've only tried their appetizers. I like that they have many options and my favorites where the Elote Cheese Bite and the cheese curds. I've received great service everytime I go and appreciate the cleanliness of the place too. Once it gets nice out I look forward to enjoying the outdoor seating.“

“Amazing bbq offered in the same building as truly unique and scrumptious beers and cocktails?! And live music?! Sign me up. I’ve been here quite a few times since finding this gem and I recommend visiting frequently for mental health purposes <3“

“We had an amazing time here for our Honeymoon!!! Darrik was so hospitable and knew a lot about the beers on tap. The other staff were also very friendly and gave suggestions on where to eat breakfast (local only was what we wanted.) We came back for other food suggestions and ended up eating here and boy was it delicious. The smash burger had tones of flavor and so did my wife’s wrap. This is definitely a stop again and if you like local this is the place. I did sample some beers and if you are a micro brew guy and like IPA, they don’t disappoint. They are an easy walk off the Metra also so if you want to sip and dip, great choice!“

“Great beer (the only thing you really need), and it definitely has the low-key vibe you seek. While it is a small space, they make it work and have every board game you can think of. I even take my kids occasionally since they can play with games. Fun spot, check it out.“

“I spent the day out with my two dogs hiking, adventuring, playing and I was STARVING. Chris at District Brew Yards went above and beyond to accommodate me as a solo patron with two (muddy) dogs. I can’t say how impressed I was with the service provided, food, and atmosphere. 100% I’ll be back.“

“This has quickly become my family's favorite spot as y'all deliver a pleasurable experience each and every time we dine at your establishment. Great food and exceptional service. Thank you. See y'all around the way soon. God bless.“

“Drove over an hour here because of the rave review my friend gave us to try the food here. Our server Maria was so friendly and welcoming.We started off with the cheese curds and the morning after is a must try appetizer. The truffle burger was delish and the salmon with the fingerling potaoes were amazzzing. Ace guava and frozen tundra are the beers we tried and they also did not disappoint.“
