10 Best Craft Breweries near Rockford

“Delicious well done! On a pretzel bun! Side of sweet potato fries was delicious! ‘Q’ (Quentin) was a delight as our server! He is very professional and engaging! Thanks Q!“

“Went for the first time (hoping to buy bread, lol, they dont have any). We were impressed right away! First, the prices are amazing for a Rockford restaurant, 2nd nearly everything is homemade!! Down to the French Onion Soup recipe being the same one from the original Arnies I grew up with and was SO GOOD. Next the Chicken sandwich was seriously amazing! The Im a snob for French Dips so that was a 6 out of 10, but thats the only complaint. Even the ranch dressing on the salad was homemade and best Ive ever had! I cannot wait to try the entire menu! I hear their Pizza is award winning! Our Server and even the chef/owner were great!“

“Eric made this experience a 10/10! We came for an impromptu rehearsal dinner and drinks before my sister’s wedding. He was funny, offered great recommendations and made the atmosphere great! Definitely recommend eating here and sitting in Eric’s section! 🥳“

Hey Ed! It was great to see you again. It's been 2-3 years, I think, and we really dig your new menu. Holy cow, the beers were perfectly to our liking as well. You must be very proud of your team! We'll try to make it back before we bounce in October. Cheers!

Great modern vibe in an old space. Beers are delicious, and the selection was great. Cider & wine too! Don't overlook the opportunity to enjoy something from the menu. Simply wow!“

“Absolutely love this local pub. The beer and cider are phenomenal into the atmosphere is very welcoming. Trivia nights and live music are a nice touch, along with self-serve popcorn. I only wish they would bring back the sandwich menu and queso to go with the giant soft pretzel.“

“Great beers, food, and service! Highly recommend.“

“Always enjoy your beer but why does your bathroom resemble a jail cell? Weird, dark, lighting and dark colors. Also, that stainless steal sink that stays on for maybe a fraction of a second.

Who saw this aesthetic and thought, I'd feel comfortable in my most vulnerable state here.

Very rapey“

“We were driving in from the north and wanted a stop so called and they told us they allowed dogs outside at the picnic benches (so nice they have a separate area) and the staff were absolutely fabulous and made us feel so welcomed with our dog and even brought us fresh water and a slice of bacon for our dog! The beer was absolutely wonderful!! Great experience!!!“

“Had a great time as always at the archival, one of my favorite spots!! Love there honey mead and if you just so happen to stop for brunch there south western is amazing!“

“The cocktails made with in house gin and rye are dah bomb! The servers are attentive and personable. The food is amazing - highly recommend the fried rice and cod. Capt Dave for the beer win with a visit to the gorgeous beer garden in the back. A must visit when in the Grand Rapids area.“
