Great location for it as well and I like the products that they offer. Clean restrooms as well , I love the glass that is featured throughout the entire building. They got games here as well and decent outdoor seating. Also while we were here We Were treated to live outdoor music. Well I got this place is that it's got a quiet low-key Vibe away from the more rowdy crowd. Fair selection of beer and other choices. Prices were pretty fair staff here however was not too friendly but overall I thought it was a solid visit.

We were actually a little disappointed with the beer, which like food is a personal preference. I got a stout and he got a dubbel. Neither wowed us. The service was great, and we saw families, couples, and groups of friends - exactly the kind of place for a casual evening out. Three stars just because our choices that night didn't wow us, but we plan on going back for the food and service. There were more beers to try next time!

Great better than expected brewery. It's located in a strip mall, and we weren't expecting anything…read morespecial. Black Lung is one of the best hangouts in Round Lake Beach, away from the beach of course. Has quite a few beers on tap as well as meads. The prices are pretty okay on most things. Came in here recently and we got a few beers. It's about $7 a pint. There's stronger ones that are more expensive but still not that much though. Best one among what I tried was the Cymatics. It's a maltshake IPA. This is supposed to taste malty. Amazingly it has zero lactose. The other one that was a favorite was the Galaxy 503, an IPA that's not too hoppy and has a sweet taste. Also they have mead and smoothies if you want something besides beer. The beer is good but there's a lot more. Has a pretty cool atmosphere. It only has beer and mead so there's no food menu. There sometimes will be food trucks on weekends.

The food was okay but did not really stand out. The cheese curd portion felt a little small, and the burger was fine but not particularly memorable. One thing that was hard to overlook was the strong air freshener scent when walking in. The same smell was in the bathrooms so it was just a bit off putting. I personally do not love that in a restaurant setting since it can compete with the smell of the food. Beer was also good! Overall, the service was the highlight of our visit. While the food did not wow us, we still had a pleasant experience.

The problem with this place is the service and how they operate . They clearly don't have a system of food runners , bussers and servers so they are doing it all and it shows with the long wait times to get place orders , get your tab , even get waters I had to ask a separate server for waters because of how long they took . You know the service is bad when you see everyone looking around for their server and looks of frustration .

The on tap beer menu is small, but delicious. Had two local Chicago microbreweries (Maplewood and Dovetail - NEIPA and Pils, as well as Missouri's Narrow Gauge Brewery - Wild Idaho Jorts).

Best tho was their a small Spanish-inspired Tapas menu...husband had bourbon pork belly solomillo with fries and I had montaditos (jamon, salami, honey goat cheese and arugula with fig dip on tiny pan shaped torta bread) with chips.

Not to mention a large variety of event spaces too. Turns out this is a prohibition era brewery! So cool! We ordered the cheese curd appetizer and it was delicious. Lightly breaded, crispy and flavorful! Followed those up with the Ruben. Fantastic! Loads of corned beef and sour kraut on delicious rye bread with house made thousand island dressing! My wife had their American burger and that was excellent too! Perfectly cooked, tomato, lettuce, thick cut pickles, and cheese!

Amazing food, house-brewed beer, and outside seating on the river!…read more Let's start with their BEER. Some small breweries are just ok, but Prairie Street made excellent beer! I ordered a flight so I could sample many. The samples were large. The food was excellent. Menu options extend beyond typical pub fare. We started with the fried pickle chips which were actual chips and not pickle spears like some places offer. I ordered the POKE BOWL WITH KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN. It was super delicious. You can't beat the outdoor seating with river view, unless it was hot like when we visited. We opted for indoor seating in the cooled environment. Staff was excellent.

It was upstairs in the building and had a great brewery vibe - laid back and fun. The decor had a big giant furry creature (the giant from the name) doing all kinds of different things like climbing buildings and posing with farmers, such a great touch! There was a bar to sit at when you first walked in and there seemed to be lots of locals, which is always a great sign. I was hungry so we decided to get a table. The server was friendly and I was so excited when I saw they had flights! I love flights because you can try lots of different beers in one sitting. They also had traditional bar snacks like wings and nachos and other sandwiches including hamburgers. It all looked good but I was feeling a salad and had the chopped salad. It was fresh and filling. Paid with my beer flight, it was a great experience! I would definitely recommend Crushed by Giants for a beer and some snacks!

A short fuse and a close call…read more After Emily and I checked in to our hotel room, we wanted to stretch our legs and see if there was anything nearby for some beer and some food. Turns out, Short Fuse was right up the road and a 5 minute walk got us there. For a Sunday, it wasn't too busy but not dead, so we got seated right away. We ordered some beer and took a look at the menu. While nothing really struck our fancy, our waitress made a comment that if we did want any food, it might be slim pickings as they were running out of stuff. Turns out, this day was the last day they were open. Talk about timing! After she mentioned that, I started to notice that people were buying bar signs and various other things. Emily started off with a Guava Gose and I grabbed a Krankshaft kolsch. We sampled each other beers and we both really liked what the other ordered. I don't really know what a gose is but, damn, was that good! I've had Krankshaft before so I knew what I was getting myself in to. We ended up ordering a second round of the same beers and let each other sample the other's beer a little more liberally this time. While we were kind of hungry, nothing on the menu really struck our fancy, especially considering they might've been out of it. Room service took care of those hunger pangs later after a few more beers in the hotel bar. Online reviews for this place seemed hit and miss but I really enjoyed my time there and really enjoyed the artwork on the walls and the vibe of the place. We did contemplate buying some bar signs on our way out but declined as we don't know what we would exactly do with them. It sucks to see a small business close but they did say they may try to open up a new place in a new location in the future.
