6 Best Craft Breweries near Niles

“Solid service, tasty beers. They also had a food menu, but we didn't try any as we just recently ate but it mostly consisted of bar snacks and hot dogs and such. They also have a slew of board games to play. All around a fun little place in the heart of Niles.“

“Good beer, vibe is not for everyone. They've gone through a lot of staff over the years, but generally they are all friendly. Sometimes I do feel like they need an extra person working the bar which they dont always have. Building itself is honestly not really a place I would want to hang out. Low ceilings, kind of dingy, walls are this weird light orange color, layout is awkward, and it gets weirdly quiet at times. It's a place for locals, but to me it's missing that local "charm".“

“Danny Boy Draft Works, located just off Notre Dame Campus in South Bend, stands as a remarkable testament to the craft of brewing, offering patrons a delightful exploration of flavors and styles. Their own brewed beer is nothing short of phenomenal, showcasing a mastery over the art that is immediately apparent from the first sip. The selection is broad, catering to a wide range of palates, ensuring that every visitor finds something to love.Not to be overshadowed, their mixed drinks and bourbon selection are equally impressive, providing options for those who might prefer something other than beer. The inclusion of a handful of guest taps is a thoughtful touch, extending the variety and allowing guests to sample beers from other brewers, thereby embracing the community spirit of craft brewing.But Danny Boy Draft Works isn't just about the drinks; their food menu complements the beverages perfectly. The pizza is amazing, with just the right balance of ingredients on a perfectly cooked crust. The wings, sandwiches, and salads are equally commendable, each dish prepared with care and delivering flavors that elevate the dining experience.Whether you're a Notre Dame student, a local, or just passing through South Bend, Danny Boy Draft Works offers an inviting atmosphere where one can enjoy expertly crafted beverages and delightful dishes. It's a place where the quality of the beer is matched by the excellence of the food, making every visit a memorable one.“

“Stopped here after kayaking the nearby river; the takeout is less than a half mile away. I absolutely love it on my first visit. The building and grounds are very impressive and incredibly interesting. They have put a tremendous amount of thought into everything here. They grow their own hops. Staff was very friendly, beer was very good, the farm salad was very good. I will be returning for future events.“

“I usually don't Yelp- and I'm sure most reviews are from those people generally discontent or prone to complaints regardless of service. Which is why I wanted to make sure I left a positive note for the outstanding service I received from my server, I believe her name was Corinnia. (There's no way I spelled that correctly). It was our first trip there in at least 10 years. As far as gastro pubs go, evil Czechs menu and atmosphere were just fine- even above average. But the service we received made us not only want to come back, but made it so the Czech will now be in our bi-weekly restaurant rotation. Something as simple and knowing your server enjoys her job, enjoys people, and enjoys being OF service in general........that's really all we look for when we go out right? If you find yourself in Mishawaka area for lunch or dinner- hope to get Corinnia as your server. You'll enjoy your experience.“

“I'll be honest, the food can be hit and miss. There seemed to be a rough patch where they didn't have a decent chef or something and it was pretty bad and low quality...I don't know what happened. But when we went again last week it was back to being top notch and excellent quality meat. They also have donuts now which are literally the best I've had in Michiana. 100% worth going for the donuts alone! Beer and cider are generally good/ok. Fresh apple cider is excellent.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available. Kids menu.“
