14 Best Craft Breweries near Wheeling

“Was great when it opened, then they took away all the good food choices and changed to only having just okay pizza that was over priced. Always had some good beer choices though. Having liquid love move in recently was a big plus for them. They have great beers. I hope to see a stand alone liquid love again soon.“

“Lived in Mundelein for22 years. I have since moved to Texas. I visit many microbreweries along my travels. It’s always a treat to come home and see my hometown brewery thriving. What a wonderful establishment with great craft beer. Keep up the great work. Cheers“

“The vibe is very chill and relaxing. The sandwich I had was thanksgiving turkey sandwich . Delicious with turkey gravy served on the side. Beer was really tasty . My first beer was a Kriek sour 3.5 out of 5 . The sour taste was very forward but but behind that there was not a good punch of cherry flavor. My second beer was a raspberry jalapeno that was very tasty. It was in the belguin fruit beer style. I give that one 4 out 5. The flavors were bright and playful with a slight hint of sweetness. Enjoyable place and nice servers and people.“

“Great beer. Great staff. Great live music.“

“What a hidden gem that’s not so hidden anymore. Staff is beyond accommodating and beers are some of the best around with a ginormous selection. Patio is huge and everything is SUPER clean! Biker Dude Smash Burgers was there, went to a 90 wait within 15 mins of starting up…. Would’ve waited 9 hours and been worth it!!! Must visit if in the Chicago area 🍻“

“Great drinks and even better atmosphere.“

“Buffalo Creek Brewing is just awesome! It’s got that cozy wood cabin feel inside and an absolutely amazing backyard setup that’s perfect any time of year. From hanging out by the fire pits in the fall to catching live bands and fun events in the summer, there’s always something going on.

The beer is fantastic, especially if you’re into German-style brews, and the people couldn’t be friendlier. Plus, they’re always giving back to the community with great charity events and parties.

If you’re looking for a fun place to relax with friends, this is a must-go!“

“Our waitress Alyssa was wonder! Had the prime rib and it was cooked to perfection. Great atmosphere to sit and enjoy good food and friends! Highly recommend to go and try it!“

“The beer and atmosphere are fabulous“

“Located in the heart of Highwood is Broken Tee, a great brewery with an amazing selection of beer and food. There are two rooms with plenty of seating, even a few couches for larger groups. There is also a nice outdoor seating outside the perimeter of the brewery. The staff are friendly and always helpful when trying to select one of their many fine brews. Great place to start a fun night in Highwood. Parking is a little tricky so come early if you’re meeting someone.“

“Greet beers , owners and staff. Highly recommend!“

“The food was so amazing, as well as our server Hally! Such a sweet person. Absolutely loved the Turkey Overlake and my friend absolutely devoured the Bison Burger saying it was the best burger she ever had. Thank you!!“
