Amazing beers! No food but that's by design (go to Taco Heaven across the street). GREAT neighborhood joint for catching some great brews.

The beer here is awesome. Great chill vibes with pinball machines and sports on the TV's. Tropic like it's Hot IPA is fantastic!

Great beer but on some weekends it feels like a daycare. Too many parents bring kids 10 and under, dont pay attention to them while they drink and kids are screaming and making it not enjoyable

After hearing about this family owned brewery in downtown Lockport on the I'm Fat Podcast,I decided to give them a try .As soon as you enter you get greeted by the bartender . You go to the bar to order your beer. He was willing to answer any questions you might have or even give you a small sample to taste.They brew on site and offer about 12 different beers in 5,10 and 16 ounce pours.There were many regulars sitting at the bar and I noticed most of them had the 1853 Orange Creme Ale so I decided why not. I am glad I did! Delicious and refreshing with just the right amount of orange and vanilla.The only reason I gave them 4 stars is no food options are available unless you bring your own or order from one of the local establishments in the areaOpen daily with entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights,this is a real gem.

On a slow Monday night surprised to see that the Lock & Mule was closed due to an event and went across the street to Nik & Ivy and glad we did! Tom the bartender was wonderful, very attentive, gave us tastings and recommendations. There is no food at Nik & Ivy, but several places down the street can be ordered, and some will bring it over. We choose the mexican Taco Heaven right down the street, brought it back (left our tab open!) and highly recommend it! The chips and salsa was great with some yummy beer. Plenty of bar and table space, unisex bathroom also have a full sized diaper changing area. Beer wise, some of the locals told us that Lock & Mule may have great food, but beers could be hit and miss and they come over to Nik & Ivy. :-). Tried the very yummy Orange Cream. The Coconut Cream was also great, and the Vanilla Cream seemed a little light and only a slight hint of Vanilla. Orange Cream was the favorite! We definitely come back to downtown Lockport!

Located in historic Lockport this mom and pop brewery is a friendly place to visit for both locals and those just passing through. There is no food offered but you can bring in or order in. Everyone seemed to be having the Orange Cream Ale so worth a try. I'm gluten free and can't drink beer but they did have cold brew. They have a busy calendar of various events and entertainment so check out this gem when in the area.

I can't believe with all of the breweries closing in the south suburbs, brewery options have been more and more scarce than ever. I came here to meet up some friends. This place was absolutely beautiful and ambient. They had a cool guy playing acoustic music! The staff here was absolutely friendly but the staff that frequent this place are absolutely die hard supporters that absolutely care about this business that I met and befriended on my visit. Very cozy atmosphere, clean restrooms, fair prices. Features non alcoholic drinks as well which was cool!

There's an Art o mat!!!! There's an Art o mat!!! The beer was good - had a wheat beer but there's an Art o Mat!!! Did I say there was an Art o mat?!?!

Street parking, nice industrial decor, good friendly vibe. This could easily be a hometown brewery bar anywhere in the US. Offerings were delicious! Definitely a good place to kick back and enjoy the fare. Barkeep friendly and attentive. A couple of pinball machines, and tabletop games available to play.

Awesome band (Awkward Nation) played great! Select beers, ciders, root beer, and water served. May order food from near restaurants and have it delivered there while enjoying this great band.
