16 Best Craft Breweries near Mundelein

“First time at Tonality. Early dinner. Molly was our server and had 2 excellent reco's. For me it was the Gnocchi which was a plate cleaner. The combo of gnocchi with mushroom and asparagus was smart. The sauce was lemony and tasted a bit like vinegar which I liked. My wife had the pork Schnitzel with spatzel. The breading was dark and tasty. The portion was huge. She loved it. I had a tasty Amber Ale with dinner. Cool brewery atmosphere in an open space. Highly recommend.“

“This is definitely a hidden gem in a strip mall in Mundalein. Welcoming and knowledgeable host. Excellent beers. I really enjoyed the English Ale and Bavarian Wheat I tried. I bought a branded howler and will certainly be returning for regular refills.“

“This place is HOME! I live out of state and everytime I’m back to visit the fam for the holidays, my best friend and I make a point to stop in an have a few pints. The service is always stellar, the vibe is always fun and the beer is always delicious! Can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! The new renovations just add to an already-above-and-beyond experience! <3 thank you, Tighthead!“

“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 stopped in about a year ago to try the licensed Affy Tapple flavored beer they made. (Tastes like a caramel apple. ) It was great. I was in the area this weekend to try a few in-house drafts. The Polish Pilsner is about 5% ABV. It was worthy of buying a 4 pack for home. They offer a lot of great brews and Zach was serving that day. Super helpful & friendly.“

“Good selection of beers as well as some ciders and meads which gives everyone a chance to enjoy something. Food at the Round Lake Beach location is available at the Pizza place in the same plaza who will bring your food to you at the bar. Loved going on DJ Bingo nights, Jesse is the best!! She provides a great welcoming atmosphere and knows how to take care of you. All around great spot to go to.“

“Way beyond all expectations. Delicious, delicious, delicious. Finally a new sceneof beer in the area. Well thought out brew and beverege, great crew behind the product. Knowledgeable, creative and humble. Absolutely great things currently and to come. Stay on the look out as Sundial will surely be all over Chicagoland. ?“

“Great selection of beers. You can get pints or flights. An excellent space. We came for trivia night and it was packed, but we still got served in a timely manner. The giant pretzel was good. Lots of places in the area deliver here, so even though there are no real food options on the menu you can get something delivered.“

“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 mean I know I review 5 stars almost every time, but that’s because I give props where props are due. I had the double smash burger and it was Aaaaaaamazing! Cooked to perfection. Thank you for being our hidden gem. Every time we choose the Side Lot… we go home happy.“

“We absolutely love coming here. Great place to have a couple beers (which are all amazing I’ve never had a beer here I didn’t like) or to come for a full on meal as their food is AMAZING. Our personal faves are the cheese curds, colossal pretzel, and the sweet potato fries.“

“As a wedding photographer, Buffalo Creek Brewing offers a charming and unique setting for weddings in the Chicago suburbs. The rustic yet elegant venue, combined with friendly staff, ensures a seamless experience for couples. With spacious indoor and outdoor areas, there are plenty of opportunities for capturing beautiful moments. It's an ideal choice for couples seeking a laid-back and distinctive wedding venue.“

“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 place has never missed the mark with service in my experience, and I frequent at least once a month. The drinks are always cold, fresh, and reasonablypriced. The food is delicious and fresh as well... my favorites are the smoked wings, cheese curds, beer nuggets, and chicken pesto sandwich. The staff is uber friendly and it felt great seeing many of them take the time to greet me (while I was on crutches) after a couple months hiatus (since I was injured). The Live Entertainment on weekends is always a huge plus as well! SIX SPEED TRANNY rocked the house yesterday“

“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.“
