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.

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.

He was extremely kind, courteous, and attentive while keeping up with the busy tables. Really makes a difference! And the FOOD! Omg amazing. Super fresh, tasty, and homemade with very generous portions If you aren't into beer, fear not because the cocktails are SO GOOD! I had the margarita and it was delicious and strong! 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!

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!

Definitely recommend the pizza here. It's super thin and it's the kind of pizza you just want to keep shoveling down while you drink a beer. They have several shareable apps like a giant pretzel- YUM! And a few handheld sandwiches as well. Every beer I tasted I liked! They have a good selection and the server we had helped us narrow down options for our flight based on our usual preferences. There's also PINBALL machine which make for a super fun night after a round of drinks.

Bar food, beer, and delightful people, what more could you want?!…read more We had dinner here on a Monday night and discovered: 1) Their food (pizza) is really good! 2) their beer selection (their stuff and others) is solid and tasty! 3) they have trivia on Monday nights (the first Monday of each month is a theme) While ordering and munching we chatted with the owner/manager? on and off. He's a super friendly guy and was very flexible with a lot of things we were asking about (regarding groups and future visits, etc). He even wen't above and beyond to make the kids feel welcome and special. We simply had beens and pizza and loved both! In fact, we were uncertain how much to order and the same guy gave us the PERFECT recommendation - nice! We're fans of NWB and will be back again, for trivia and themed trivia!

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.

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.

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.

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.
