BierWax is the quintessential gathering place in Prospect Heights. A great selection of beers and ciders on tap, a cozy year-round outdoor space in the back, fun music and the best energy. Love going here for a pre-dinner drink or enjoy a lazy weekend afternoon.

One of the best places on Vanderbilt and unique spot for the entire city because of their beer list, staff knowledge of the beers, and then the music is always solid whether a DJ at night or something is on during the day. Summer is great because they set up so much seating out front for open streets but also a nice back garden.
If you aren’t a big beer person they do make good cocktails too!
Highly recommend making this place a go to spot.

A very comfortable place to relax and have a few Beers or drinks with friends. The atmosphere is easy going with great music selection played is moderate tones so your not speaking over the music. The yard is great for groups to gather, talk. The bartenders Antonio and Ari are super attentive. It’s become a favorite spot to relax.

As the rise of craft beer spots are still coming up I can honestly say this is the FIRST place that I actually felt comfortable because there was a mix of diversity which I don’t see much of in other places and made me feel as we weren’t alone for once! This place is awesome from the vinyls they were playing to the beer/cider selection that they have on tap as well as having cans available. They also have art up for sale and few artist that I know of as well. Nothing but good vibes! Can’t wait to visit again.

Best bar in the area, ten toes down. 😉 If you like weak tasteless beer - don’t come to BierWax. If you like terrible music, don’t go to BierWax - you won’t understand once your ears are blessed by the soul-affirming rotation of amazing DJ sets. But, if you’re in fact a dope human being who has taste and beautiful vibes, go to BierWax.

Such a great place for a couple beers and good music. Bartender was super nice to us. Even though she seemed to be friends with the other customers and it was our first time in, she never neglected us or made us feel unwelcome.

Top notch spot! Vinyl, great beer and cocktails…let’s roll! I will definitely be back. Such a vibe there.
Really a fan of Bierwax and all the cool options on tap. Chris, the owner is very kind and hospitable while being a fountain of knowledge about all local craft breweries and in house beer options—which they have a lot of! I come here to spend many hours editing on my laptop and have always felt at home. I’ve also met some DJ’s here and have frequently been exposed to new music. Vinyl is indeed the plural of vinyl. Shine on you bright gem.

BierWax is a hub of hip hop culture, with an impressive calendar of DJs spinning vinyl and visits from hip hop royalty. And it’s a spot that expands my palate. I always try beers I never would’ve encountered otherwise. It’s always got peaceful, welcoming energy with friendly staff. Many props and much love to Chris, the owner, who’s created a beautiful gathering space.
