We chose to sit in their outdoor area because the weather was beautiful. For this visit, I've tried: Armadillo eggs- I like the crunch of the crumbs, the flavors were good, but the filling was too heavy Kalbi Short Rib bowl- this was my daughter's dish. it was just ok The Nuremburger- this was the burger of the month (September). It was delicious; the fries were great as well The Smoky Ghost- if you like spice, this is the burger for you. I tried one of the Seltzer; it was okay. My daughter ordered the Raspberry Lime Cola; it was good, although it was a little too sweet for me. Service was friendly and prompt. Our server was very attentive and efficient. The indoor dining area was super loud, so we made a great choice by sitting outside. I wish they had more options for Filipino dishes. I only saw the lumpia appetizer and the beef sisig entree. Maybe next time?

My lovely wife and I visited Elmhurst Brewing awhile back on a whirlwind day in the 'burbs with our…read moredrinking friends. This was the fourth establishment that we visited that day. While we had a nice time here, I wasn't totally wowed though that is not really the fault of the venue. I suppose that's what happens when you eat and drink all day. The interior is fun, and the service seemed fine. My love and I enjoyed our flight tree of four beers, and we tried a pretzel stick with beer cheese that our friends had ordered.

Elmhurts Brewing is a great spot for a few beers or some tasty food. Are these the best beers in…read morethe greater Chicagoland area? No. But they are solid beers and the food is also tasty. The place is a pretty normal brewery vibe, which is cool. It's clean and well maintained. And the staff was super cool, always checking in and making sure we were good. This is a nice, solid place to check out.

Great Burgers, Fries, and Drinks!…read more I really enjoyed my visit here! I ordered the burger with fries, and everything looked so good when it came out. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and served on a nice, soft bun. The fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and came in a generous portion. I also enjoyed a refreshing sangria, which went perfectly with my meal. It's always nice to find a place where you can enjoy a good burger and a drink without feeling rushed. Overall, I had a really nice experience. Good food, good drinks, and a relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely come back again, especially when I'm craving a good burger and fries!

I returned here for a catchup session, and unbelievably to me, it's been over 3 years since I was…read morelast here.  More Brewing is still a most excellent pub with excellent beer and food offerings. On this coldish Wednesday winter evening, it wasn't as busy and boisterous as our previous visits, and that was just fine for our usual catchup party of 3.  Sam was our fine and attentive server and she adequately took care of the whole dining room on this night. Arriving at 5:30pm, we took advantage of Happy Hour and had 6 beers by 6pm for $5 each.  We also had a cheese curds appetizer for $10 (discounted from regular $12). I had my usual 3 beers for our catchup session, namely: - Moreover hazy IPA, 6.5% ABV - Mango Double Marbles Imperial IPA, 8.0% ABV - Appetizer hazy IPA, 5.5% ABV For food, I had their chicken tikka masala platter for $22.  My colleagues had a high steak sandwich with salad ($20), and an Italian Beef with fries ($18).  All were delicious.  There is now a 3% credit card fee.  Overall, still one of the best Chicagoland brewpubs around.

What a great little neighborhood brewery! From the outside, this would pass as a dive bar but…read moreactually offers so much more! The inside is cozy with a large bar and tables to sit at. They have board games, darts, touchtunes, and more for entertainment. They had 9 of their own beers in tap as well as some guest beers. They also house fuse malort with flavors (11 to try)! My two friends got a beer and I got a whiskey/ginger ale. Pricing was very fair and pours were a good size. Both of my friends enjoyed their beers and I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Check out Lunar Brewing when in the area!

Lunar Brewing is not just a local brewery, but it's a fun little after hours bar as well…read more They offer a crazy amount of beer option. That's a good thing, but it can also become overwhelming when you're trying to decide on what to drink. I don't think I've ever eaten here, so I think they more or less offer bar snacks. I've never had bad service here. Although you may have to order your drinks at the bar if you're sitting at one of the tables. The times that I actually sat at the bar, the service was obviously better. The servers know their beer menu and can hold a good conversation if it's not too busy. It's a great place to stop in and enjoy a pint with friends and play a few rounds of darts.

I will preface this review by saying the only downside is the location which is an unassuming,…read morerather depressing strip mall. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit! Our waitress (I'm kicking myself for not noting her name) recommended 2 fantastic IPAs in a sea of IPAs for myself and an amazing sour for my wife. The pretzel chips we ordered were devoured by our 5yo and the pizza was terrific! We will definitely be coming back!

I came here because I've heard they got pretty decent tavern style pizza. The parking lot is huge…read more I wished they had more lighting here, especially at night. The service could be improved a bit. When we walked in, there was nobody to greet us within the first couple mins. After we got seated it was fine. They have pinball machines that you can play. I believe they're $1. They also have a room for parties and poker night. We ordered the hipsters vs lumberjacks beer, huckleberry wheat beer, a dozen chicken wings with sweet heat bbq, holy grail pizza. This would be a perfect 5 out of 5, however improve the service when customers walk in. 4.5 out of 5. -hipsters vs lumberjacks 5 - easy drinking red ale with vanilla. It's smooth and light. -huckleberry wheat 5 - this is an easy beer to sip during the summer. You can taste the berries but it's not overpowering. Mildly sweet beer. -chicken wings 5 - the chicken wings has flavor even without the bbq sauce. They are nicely grilled then lightly fried. The meat is very tender and juicy. -holy grail pizza 5 - the crust is cracker thin and crispy when it's hot. The pizza has a lot of flavor. You get some mild heat from the jalapeños and hot honey. Then, the mozzarella and ricotta cheese help cool your tongue. Everything is well balanced.

Great place to have a beer or cider. Plenty of choices available. They even had some mead options…read more Large amount of n/a beers too! Friendly staff and a decent amount of seating. They had old school n64 to play too.

Staff here was very friendly and you can sit and enjoy your beer at the same time if you wanted to. Prices were actually really well! Very clean and well organized I would definitely like to come back to this place in the future.

KID-SIZED BEERS! Not…read morefor kids! I've never been to a place that offers 5 oz pours, and as someone who rarely finishes an entire 12 oz beer, I've always said I needed a place that has "kid size." Hop District is that place. Super cute, laid back, music is good but not SO LOUD, people are great, and my 5-oz beer was the perfect size.. plus delicious! You can order food from Mattone's next door, and we did. Burger was good! Plus there are a bunch of activities like book clubs and trivia nights I want to try, so I guess this is my regular spot now. Depending on the night, maybe I'll get TWO 5 oz beers!

Checked out this chill LaGrange Park brewery. Hop District is one of the few interesting places to…read morego to in this overlooked suburb. They always have a crowd and that's expected because there's not many other great places besides this. A lot of beers to choose from. There's a pretty great variety and they always rotate. Beers are the main thing of course. It's got a pretty surprising amount to choose from. There's a lot of these on tap. More in cans. Pretty great variety. A lot are IPAs but there's a few others. It's about $8 a pint. Kind of a lot but they make smaller batches of these. Best one we had of these was the Hazy In The Name Of. This is a New England Hazy IPA, a classic style. Made with citrone and nectaron hops. There's notes of citrus, lime, passionfruit, and peach. Has a few things to munch on. It's about $7 for the Knotty Pretzels. Comes in a big bag. These are a great combination and big enough for sharing. For sure there's lots of great beers. It's actually open daily which is especially rare for a brewery to be honest. They sometimes have food trucks.

In the world of breweries, this is as good as it gets! You want it to be casual, approachable, and…read morefriendly. CHECK! You want it to be open when you want to visit. They have a daytime area (The Steeple) and a nighttime area (The Biergarten). One is air conditioned / fully indoor while the other is more outdoor, production area vibes. CHECK! Many breweries aren't big enough to offer food. Not an issue here! They have a nice menu and I really liked the BBQ chicken flatbread (perfect size for two). They have close to two dozen beers, seltzers, etc. and out of the 10 we had, they were all pretty darn good. The maibock was our favorite! Be sure to give yourself plenty of time here, you won't want it to be a quick visit. Live music, trivia, etc. offered - check their socials for more info. Thanks to Amanda and Corey for a great reintroduction to Church Street after not visiting for a few years! We can't wait to come back and try more from your beer and food menus. P.S. Yelp found a bunch of photos from our last visit before this one...circa 2019! Holy Water isn't green anymore...

Happy New Year 2026! My first review of this year. Cheers!…read more Church Street is a spacious, but intimate feeling brewery with a relaxed vibe, tucked away in an Industrial area of Itasca. The on-site parking lot is quite small, but other business lots and street parking is available nearby, especially during events. I tried a sample of their light pilsner and purchased a 12 ounce prickly pear sour. It had a unique flavor to it and wasn't too tart or sour, as I find some to be. I would like to return and try the cranberry sour and German, dry pilsner. Perhaps after "Dry January!" (Hello Mocktails). I did not order any food but I do plan to return and would like to try some of their menu items. I enjoyed sitting at the bar with others and our server was delightful. I have also had their wheat beers which are tasty. Inside the brewery there is a cozy feel and the singing cook in the kitchen was fun to listen to, as he had a nice voice. Check out their fun fan merch for sale too. Happy "Brew Year" all!

One burger had to be sent back because they forgot the cheese and it came back out still well before the rest of the tables order. My father asked for a drink refill multiple times only to end up getting up and going to the bar to get it himself. But the whole experience was not bad. The burgers were great and juicy. Not sure why they call it a smashburger. There is nothing smashed about it. But the flavor is on point! Largest beer selection I have seen at a restaurant. Large seating area and they do a great job of not cramming in too many tables. They have some couches and a nice outdoor area. We will be back, the food was that good. I will update my rating after I give their service another try.

Their beer has that tang you'd expect from a sour ale without the molar-wrenching pain that makes drinking more than a few ounces difficult. They nail the flavor and it's always clean and smooth. Some of the best wild ales made. Their taproom is small, but really nice inside with seating at the bar and around the taproom that is more geared towards small parties. They have their full menu on draft and bottled bears available with a few guest beers. I think it's Sunday that they have discounts on their bottled beers and it's a great opportunity to take advantage of!
