    Beef stroganoff
    Analyn T.

    This is one of our go-to restaurant in Oak Brook for good beer and food. They have great selections of beer on draft and cocktails, too! This weekend, we went for late lunch. We had the chopped salad and Beef Stroganoff. The servings are quite big and can be shared. Both dishes are delicious! We enjoyed our meal. Our server is pleasant and very attentive. I like the vibes of this restaurant, very relax. Parking is not a problem.

    Updating to add that Alter has a nice kids menu! For $11 there are options like Mac n cheese (a reallll cheesy, extra goopy Mac n cheese!), chicken fingers, grilled cheese, marinara pasta and a few more. It was a nice big portion size for kids too with fries or seasonal fruit as side options.

    This restaurant has great options with very tasty food choices. We enjoyed eating all the food we ordered. The waiter was good and so patient with our little one though our little one was constantly throwing the food on the floor The ambience was perfect for a brewery and looked extremely nice.

    Cheers

    I absolutely love this place! The vibe of this brewery is so cool, is one of those places that makes you want to stay and hang there and chill, the decor and paintings in the wall are just perfect! Now even better is the service, our server Hugo was two nights in a row the best, also the kitchen manager, we repeated the same restaurant while on a business trip just because of how nice, friendly and helpful they both were. We came tonite with our sales group and they all loved it, the food was fresh, flavorful and delicious and the beers are also a whole experience, you can find really unique beers and very fun flavors (like Milkshake Beer or the cucumber/lime one with tajin soooo good!). Definitely a place to enjoy your time, your drinks and your food

    Crispy shrimp tacos

    They surprised me by making cauliflower taste good. Between that and the elote bites, the appetizers got inhaled. My wife always has to order the reuben and it got her seal of approval. I went for the brisket mac and cheese (amazing BTW, especially for a cold winter day). Somehow they just knew I like my brisket fatty. We came in during shift change so we had two different servers and a trainee. All of them did great. There's a giant TV over the bar for anyone invested in sportsball, but even if you're not, the food and atmosphere more than earns your attention. Seems to be a Yelp Elite tradition to rate this place 4 stars, but everything was perfect for our group so I'm going to dissent with a 5 star rating.

    Great atmosphere to be in. You can go casual, meet with friends, hold meetings, or make it a quick date night. Parking lot. Plenty of space. Happy hour starts at 3pm. The servers are kind and attentive. The menu had some decent options but I noticed it was different from the last time I was there. I guess it changes sometimes. Beer options are nice. I like that they have mocktails. I ate brisket chips. The chips were home made. The brisket was nice and tender. I would have wanted it to be shredded some but the flavor was delicious. The cheese sauce, ranch and BBQ made for a good combination. I would return for more food and beer. The last time I went o had a gourmet grilled cheese and tomatoe soup.. it was probably tomato bisque but it to was delicious.

    Buffalo Shrimp
    Karen N.

    A relatively new location. This location is quite big and has bar, indoor and outdoor seating. When we arrived it was pretty empty, but we were seated at a table sort out of the way. It made us feel we were not part of the restaurant or bar. Our waitress was quick and attentive, but a bit gruff. My husband had a Kriek cherry Soul Ale, it was a bit pricey $9.50. I ordered the corned beef sandwich with a side of coleslaw. The corned beef was well cooked and lean. My husband had the buffalo garlic shrimp. The portion included 7 plump shrimp for $17. He also tried the burger od the month, the grillzilla. It was a huge burger with jalapeno, chihuahua cheese, chipotle tabasco ad other toppings served in a flour tortilla. After eating the shrimp, he took half home. 0verall, the place is new and spacious, with lots of beer and food options, but very pricey.

    Came here once for lunch with a friend and another time to celebrate some birthdays with family. Food was a little slow to come out but everyone had ordered something different. It's your typical pub type menu and the food is pretty filling . The big pretzel was a hit with both kids and adults.

    Pepperoni pizza with fresh mozzarella and hot honey drizzle! It was great!!
    David S.

    Great local brewery and restaurant in Oakbrook. I stopped in for a couple brews and a pizza to go! Service from the bar was pleasant and prompt for a busy Thursday night. Lots of TVs for the games and an active social crowd of people at 6pm. Grabbed a 4pk to go as well.

    Came by for dinner with some friends after an event nearby and decided to try a few different things. We were greeted and seated immediately, and were brought out water. As we looked through the menu we decided to share a few apps. I ended up wanting to try the Brie flatbread and the wings. For the wings I got a bbq sauce on it, it was good and had a kick to it. The flatbread was a bit of a let down for me because it felt rather soggy and needed a crunch to help out the Brie on top. Overall we had great service and would come back when in the area. Great option for dining with a big group of friends.

    Best pretzel ever legit
    Azsure D.

    Super cute brews and food in a popular location. Arrived on a Friday night and able to get seating. Service is Chicagoland courteous. Darling decor. Ordered flights. The beer is ok- it has a similar taste running through them so looking forward to the continued refinement of their product. Great potential! The pretzel is the best I have ever had. 5 stars for the pretzel. You must get it. Most best pretzel on the planet. Can I have one every day? Ordered the flat bread. It was a miss. There are other great menu options that look worth trying. Overall I think this place is worth checking out and hope they keep iterating on what they have to become a true centerpiece of the area.

    Interior
    Anthony D.

    A cool brewpub with their own beer selection and great burgers. We ordered the Jalapeño Cheese Curds as an appetizer that had a nice heat to them. For the main course, I had The Big Mic with Beer Fries. It tasted like a more gourmet Big Mac. The beer fries were just breaded fries, so think a crispier fry. I tried their Hopular Kid and would recommend it to anyone who isn't a big fan of IPAs but wanted to try something different. The interior was a bit more upscale than you would think. Plenty of tables and TVs to watch a game. Our waitress was attentive and the food came out quick, so no complaints.

    Truffle Pork belly tortellini - bland
    David M.

    The tortellini is very bland and needs more flavor. The pierogis are good. They have a great beer selection. The inside is really lively and welcoming. The service is hit or miss depending on the crowd. I would come back again for the beer and apps. Also they have a beer club for those that are close enough to take advantage of it.

Definitely the star of the show! Service was also a highlight. Very friendly staff, attentive, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and easy even with a toddler. The food didn't quite stand out as much for me, but it wasn't a dealbreaker, especially with everything else going for it. Honestly, this feels like the kind of place you go to hang out and enjoy a few great beers especially on a summer day after chasing around a toddler around the La Grange water fountain and neighborhood. Overall, a solid spot with a great vibe. I'd happily come back, especially to explore more of the beer menu.

We sat outside and the menu looks like it has a lot of options. We ordered a couple drinks - a beer that wasn't anything special and a martini that had shimmer in it. I took a sip and instantly regretted it - tasted like a mixed drink I made at a highschool basement party. The alcohol burned my throat and it was like the cocktail components didn't make sense. I took one sip and never sipped it again. We ordered cheese curds and a burger which came out in 5 minutes after we ordered which was odd. Felt more like a fast food joint. The cheese curds were heavy and greasy and the burger was pretty good. 1 appetizer, a burger, 2 drinks cost us $67, kind of wild in my opinion. Our server seemed like she wanted us gone too as it was the end of the night. Disappointing experience, don't plan on returning.
