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).

As a vegetarian it gets old eating a salad or appetizer as my meal so I was completely ecstatic when I saw the veggie burger option. We also got the hummus and typically hummus isn't my thing but their was yummy with chopped olive tapenade on top. We also love the patio because it's partially covered! We've added this to our restaurant rotation. The servers are also really friendly!

Tangled Roots exceeding our expectations by a mile. I loved their recommended drafts, and the waiter kindly made recommendations. We ordered cheese curds (excellent), chicken tenders, and the TR burger. Everything was fantastic and fresh. The sauces were unique and went great with the cheese curds, fries, and chicken. There was even a little Cole slaw that came with the chicken that was pleasantly spicy. 10/10 will comeback again! Only wish it was closer to me!

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 staff is friendly and decor is nicer than average as well -- with a large selection of drink at fairly reasonable prices. The only minor downsides are that the bar is basically in front of the door, so when there's a line to get a drink, this does disrupt traffic flow a bit. For the size of the facility, the amount of restroom facilities seems a bit low, but this wasn't an issue during my visit despite the entire main dining room being full. Finally, the setup of the main dining room can get quite noisy when full, so patrons may need to move to the bar area or outside to easily have a conversation. This is probably due to the setup of the space, without any way to really disperse or absorb sound. Also be aware that there is no food served here, but they often have food trucks stopping by. There are a good number of nearby options to pickup from within 3 to 8 minutes though. Overall, solid spot to visit for a drink and hangout with friends. They also have events like live music, bingo, and trivia on a regular basis as well.

A kind of limited amount to choose from but these are well crafted. The prices are okay if a bit higher. Came in and we got a table so we could drink and eat. It's only got beers but you can bring in stuff. There's plenty of places within a fast walk. As for the beers here, the selection is kind of limited. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we got was the Sour Belgian Monkey Strong Ale. It's 9% ABV and certainly strong. For food we went to The Otherdoor. It's about $11 for a few tacos. Also Maevery Public House is next to here. There's lots of close by restaurants and stores. Have a good time with beers and games. It's just beers on the menu but you can still bring in stuff. They're open every weekday and open longer on weekends.
