6 Best Brewpubs near St. Charles

“Originally planned to stop in for a drink but ended up staying awhile longer because of how great the service and atmosphere was! My group was able to sit outside in one of the enclosed tables and there was a speaker to connect our phone to play music to.Our server Paul was the best! He had such a great personality and was thorough in explaining drink/food options. He went above expectations and easily became a local tour guide in presenting the difference between Portillo's chocolate shakes.“

“great find thanks to Yelp located downtown on the river the space is wide open with high ceilings with a lot of natural sunlight coming in. The beer selection was good with a variety of tastes so everyone was pleased . The upper loft area overlooks the river perfect for private parties“

“A busy Sunday afternoon in and we sat at the bar. Had Pot Stickers as an Appetizer. A nice start Had a few of the in-house suds. Very nice. Especially liked Viking Red Ale. Did a Pub burger with Swiss and fries. Tasty. My friend did the French Onion soup as a main plate. He enjoyed it. Menu had many options. Service was amazing. Very attentive and friendly. Brant, out main server, but all the bar staff helped out. Liked all the historical photos. First time, but not the last time! A gem in Gem in Geneva.“

“Went to meet up with a friend from high school and as I sat down, I was graciously met by our server, Bella. As I waited for him to show up, she checked on me every so often to see if I needed anything and, after he showed up and we placed our order, she continued to check on us, even as the place was filled up on the upper patio. Food was very good, very nice atmosphere and our server, Bella, was the best server I’ve had at any restaurant I’ve been to. She was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. I’m hoping the next time I go there, that Bella is working, she’s the best“

“When this place opened in 2008, I was just a kid. My parents would bring me along when going out to dinner with friends and I would enjoy some cinnamon root beer and fish tacos. Now, I will drive 3 hours from Iowa just to eat dinner here sometimes, and of course to enjoy the beer! The fish tacos and cinnamon rootbeer are just as delicious as I remember them being all those years ago. Thanks for the great food, beer, and memories!“

“Awesome food and a laid-back environment to grab a bite. They brew their own beers here and incorporate some of those brews into the dishes they offer. The pretzel appetizer comes with beer cheese, which has the DuPage Domaine brew in the recipe. It's really fantastic ?? I'm not a beer aficionado, but I did try a flight. The flight offers different options of Pilsner, IPA, golden ale and pale ale. All were pretty light and refreshing. My husband and I split the flight.The BBQ chicken sandwich and the fish tacos were absolutely amazing. I 100% recommend! We have visited here again recently just for the fish tacos. The tacos have so many layers of awesome flavor bombs and texture, from the very lightly breaded fish to the soy marinaded cabbage. Big flavor and big crunch ?Service was good and everyone was very friendly. This place is great for big friend gatherings and good for kids.The menu has alot of options from appetizers to small plates, to entrees. There are some vegetarian /vegan options, and alot of the dishes can be made gluten free too so something for everyone!You can dine in or do take out and pick up. They do not deliver.“
