Unthinkable - it was always a 7 day a week enterprise. One door down in the old bike shop location is the Phase Three Tap Room. There were three of us in there on a Monday evening.

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.

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.

The prices are not bad at all considering how delicious everything was. Come here instead of going out to the overhyped and over priced commercialized restaurants in Oak Brook.. You definitely get more bang for your buck at this place. Can't wait to go back!

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 thought this was a great little liquor store to check out since me and my wife are in the area…read more We are both hard cider enthusiasts and we were happy to see that they had Eris hard cider which I cannot find at most liquor stores for some reason and a couple of other selections we never heard of either. 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.

I'd heard of Hop District for a while now, but finally was able to get out to the brewery itself…read morelast weekend. I was glad I did. While I'd liked the beers I'd been able to try in the past, it was nice to see their taproom. It's basically 2 halves, with the bar on one side, then a more cozy area with lounge chairs and tables and high tops on the other. There are TVs on both sides, so you'll be able to watch whatever game is on no matter which side you sit. It was also nice to see they had the Chicago Sports Network channel, the new channel for Bulls/Sox/Hawks games, as a lot of places/people don't have it. They had quite a big tap list, I tried 4 throughout the night-2 week vacation, Gold as Hell, Movies on Mars, Black Eclipse. All good, the first 2 were definitely my favorites. They sell a few snack items, or you can bring food in. Bartender seemed like a really cool guy. No real street parking, but there's a big shared lot in back with plenty of space. Very glad I finally made the trip out here, and would happily come back when there's some new beers on tap.

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!

I have been here a handful of times. I could have sworn I have written a review, but here we are!…read more Located in an industrial area, they have a decent amount of parking. Since my earlier visits to this establishment, they now have food available for purchase. (I didn't try, but decent size menu). I also remember they having a heavy lager and ipa selection. (Ipas are great!). Now, they also offer a handful of sours too! I find it funny they call their hard seltzers holy water. They also offer hard lemonade and hard ice tea. Props for the variety! Friendly service, check em out!

Came here for trivia night. There is a lot to like here. They have a number of coolers that are…read morefilled with beers (and some other cans and bottles). All you do is grab what you want and they'll give you a glass and add it to your tab. They also have 20 beers on tap. And if that wasn't enough, they have a full bar as well! They also have a nice menu, with very good food. It seems like pretty standard bar food at first, but it's really quite elevated. Portion sizes are just okay; they could have a bit more. The staff started out seeming pretty unfriendly. Since everything is generally ordered on your phone (though you can go to anyone and order instead), there isn't a ton of staff interaction. But after I engaged with the bartender and started talking whiskey, he opened up and was more friendly. My main issue is the price point. Their tap beers are $5-$10 for just 5 ounces. The food is similarly steeply priced. If you come here for dinner and drinks, expect to drop $100 for 2 people, no problem.

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!

This review is based on many components…read more 1. Building itself. Maybe I have been watching too much bar rescue. From the outside the building doesn't have an inviting feel. If I didn't know better, I would have driven right through the parking lot and away. 2. They are known for saison and farm style beer. It pretty much tastes like wine. If this is not your style, then you will likely not enjoy it. My boyfriend was one of those people. I however enjoyed 4 out of the 6 we tried. 3. Price. For my flight with tip I paid about $25. 4. Staff we encountered was great. 5. Hours. I looked them up in the past but could never tell if they were open or not. Give them a try if you are in downtown Lombard and they are open!
