A lot of times nowadays you come to breweries not just for the beer but for something to eat. This is one of those places. Beer is VERY GOOD and food is VERY GOOD! The only bummer was that they did not have any dark beers which is one of our favorites. We went with a lager and a marzen. As dark as we could get but still very good. The food side had quite the variety. We went with a lot of appetizers & a beet salad. We also had a cup of apple slaw (delicious) and a cup of Tuscan Kale & Asparagus (VERY delicious) and then a pleasurable unexpected bonus of potato pierogis. (SOO VERY delicious). Our waitress, Xiomara was extremely nice and always smiling! Although Xiomara was pretty busy and she forgot about the pierogis. She was very kind to not charge us for them. Greatly appreicated. We sat by the bar which was nice with a lot of natural daylight but the place is quite big with different rooms each with their own vibe. read more

Went back here for lunch with my parents on Labor Day. I couldn't believe how many people were already there just 10 minutes after opening. We had excellent service, excellent food, and my dad in particular loved the ambience with the old cars. I truly appreciate all of the very delicious vegan options here. read more

Double Clutch is a great spot to come with friends and enjoy a meal and drinks. It's even better when they have Drag Queen Bingo and other fun events in the beer hall. I always enjoy looking at the rotating display of vintage cars. Some are so rare or expensive, so it's neat to see them up close in real life! Servers are always kind and helpful. Parking is a little weird, just prepare to park on the side streets if it's a busy time. read more

We went there yesterday for Oktoberfest, there was suppose to be a band at 5pm , I guess they were a no show, so they had the channel 5 news playing on the tv and the overhead speakers, we had 1 drink and left, would never go back, You call that a Octoberfest ? read more

excellent burgers & fries! the Diablo wing sauce isn't obvious on the menu so ask for that if you like it hotter

I had never been here before/didn't really know about it. It's a hidden gem and much bigger than I was expecting it to be! I came here for trivia last night with a few friends who love this place. The food looks great (I had already eaten, so I didn't partake this time), and I appreciate that they have quite a few vegetarian/vegan options. Their beer menu is extensive and my friends liked all the varieties they tried, and they have a few NA options as well. All the staff were super friendly. It's a great space. I'll be back. Side note: Parking was a bit complicated, as the lot isn't big enough for the size of the venue, but there are street parking options around. At least they have a dedicated lot though, which a lot of other places in Evanston don't have. read more

I'm not much of a beer drinker and rarely make it to the bars these day (#old), but my first thought when walking in was how have I not been to an event here. It's spacious and a super cool venue, which was used for my daughter's high school fundraiser last weekend. I visited Double Clutch twice within one week. The first was a meeting held at the venue right before the event where everyone got to enjoy some beer (except those of us who don't love beer and opted for water) and some of the food that would be served at the event the following weekend. I munched on some turnbuckle pretzels, fried buffalo bites and cauli wings- all were pretty good! A few days later we sold out with a 300 person event, although honestly we could have fit way more in the space because there was plenty of room to move around. The band Go Ask Your Mum was playing lots of fun 80s and 90s hits, there was a buffet of the food we had tried a few days beforehand and the bar was busy. I opted for wine, which was good. The acoustics here aren't great, which i noticed during the meeting and during the event. The band was fun to listen to, but i could hardly hear anyone i was speaking to. But that's really my only complaint since it's a great space! read more

Cool brewery up in Evanston that features a ton of vintage cars around the brewery, and sports an automobile themed vibe throughout. Their beers were all good, though not necessarily my favorites, I got the Rauchbier Helles, Kolsch, and Hefeweizen. I tend to prefer hoppy beers and IPAs. They've had a few which I've had, though not as many as some other ones do. But beer aside, it's definitely a cool venue to check out. Staff were all nice, and there's a big room you can apparently have events at, there was a talent show of sorts going on when I was there. There's a small parking lot, but it may fill up, so just be careful on finding street parking and any restrictions. Worth making the trip at least once if you're a beer fan, or looking for neat spots in Evanston. read more

Cool atmosphere and good food and service. But man was the beer lacking last night. First I ordered the smoked lager- that was out. My friend wanted to try their Oktoberfest-that was out. So I switched to the Dunkel, which was also out. Then for dinner, I wanted a healthy vegetable side. Unfortunately, the vegetable of the day is rice and beans....ugh finally landed on the dark logger, which was fantastic.... read more

Ok now this place is a hidden gem. I came one day after work. Got a burger and fries. It was on point. Don't let me get started on the house margarita. Amazing! The customer services on point. Thanks to Bonitas, great services and atmosphere. It was all good vibes... I turned back around and went for taco Tuesday's. Oh wait, they have the most amazing fries. I won't tell you about them. You have to go try for yourself, if you like fries. The tacos are good as well. Oh nice for the good weather with in and out opening. Very nice stop. Glad I found you! Definitely has the MonaLisa Stamp! read more

Came up to Evanston for a basketball game on campus, and was shocked this place stood out and was fantastic! Huge place - plenty of seating - bar & tables, plenty of parking, great brunch & regular menu to choose from! Our server was amazing, recommended items, let us know about the menus about to change so if we wanted to order breakfast we still could. The vibes were great, food was amazing, I loved the bottled root beer. Bathrooms were very clean. Would highly recommend! read more

One of the most impressive breweries in terms of space and scenery that I have been to. They have a variety of cars and a story about each one of them. Three separate areas to sit and drink at. Beers were alright. None that were too memorable. Food was very good though! read more

Pros: drag bingo Tuesdays are fun. And if you're not into bingo or want a quieter experience, there's another side of the brewery where you can do that. Beer is solid. Cars are fun to look at. Steak salad and the beer battered fries are delicious! Cons: parking can be a challenge - the parking lot is small. But street parking isn't too hard. Not a place to bring young kids - they will want to see and get close to the cars and you will need to be on their heels - yes you will get chastised if your kids get too close. There's too much temptation everywhere for them! Pricing is odd - some items are surprisingly more expensive than you'd expect - this includes pints of beer. Beergarita tastes like straight up alcohol. read more

First time visit. Large space, good parking (private lot and street parking). Really good craft beer. Bartenders were super nice and fast with orders. Space is your somewhat typical sports bar (at least in the area I was in). Looks like they also do trivia nights. Will definitely be back! read more

Amazing!! Original, always bringing new things to life (food, beer, experiences), and unique collectible cars.

The brewmaster here consistently produces exceptional beers. The food however has taken a turn for the worse. The menu is now sandwiches and apps only. The "steak" sandwich at $20 was scarcely thicker than 2 slices of deli roast beef. The "tabouleh" that my wife had as a side was completely gross. As a person of middle eastern descent, and someone who has had this many places and makes it at home, they should be ashamed to serve that as a representation of their brand. The lesson is to come for the amazing beers and really solid apps. Have dinner elsewhere, unless sandwiches for dinner is your thing. read more

Went for the cars left with their beer! Very cool brewery that has some amazing cars to check out. Staff was awesome from the moment you walked in until you left.

Low key brew pub with friendly service and many good food and beer choices. Tons of antique cars are a bonus.

Best brewery for German style beers! Good food and friendly employees too!! Took a friend visiting from Germany there for Oktoberfest and we all had a great time. read more

Never knew about this brewery in Evanston and so glad we found it. A large brewery with indoor and outdoor seating. A collection of antique and classic cars in an area for large groups. My husband had a flight, a selection of lagers, pilsner and of course little juice coupe. They also serve food and had the pulled pork sammy and double clutch burger and clutch curds. The food was better than expected, but a bit pricey. The burger was $19.95!!!. Service was very good . The place was fun and friendly. read more

Popped down to Evanston for the afternoon, an area that's new to me, so it was my first time at Double Clutch. Definitely a great spot to meet with friends, grab some drinks, and enjoy tasty food. A group of us sat out on the patio, which is a tent-covered area adjacent to the parking lot. I did have a glance inside however, and it's one big space! High ceilings, bright and airy, big long tables. Seemed like a nice atmosphere. Our server, and the support staff running out food, were all very attentive. I opted for a beer first - the choice just felt right since we were at a brewery - and enjoyed hefeweizen; cold and refreshing. I'm not someone who can drink more than one however, as they're really filling so I swapped to a strawberry seltzer. It was pretty good but a bitttt to sweet for my taste. We order some apps to share: cheese curds (always a good idea), buffalo cauliflower wings (really liked these and their spice), and 'turnbuckle' pretzles (soft & warm sticked with a few nice dipping sauces). My friend and I split the steak salad for a main after that, and it was good! Probably not worth the $18 price tag though. I'd come back & bring even more friends! They've got the space, they've got the vast menu for both food and drink, and they've got good service. read more

This place is a winner for me. It was my first time visiting Double Clutch and it won't be the last. We sat at the bar on a Saturday night. The service was friendly and attentive from both bartenders. They were great at answering questions about their beers, and their suggestions were spot on. For food, we tried the BAVARIAN BURGER and THE SCHNITZEL. Both sandwiches were AMAZING. The sides of BIER-BATTERED SIDEWINDERS were so addicting. For drinks, the Kolsch and the Pilsner were solid. Our bartender recommended the BERLINER WEISSE, which was delightful. Overall, I will come back here for more drinks and delicious food. The place was clean, had a fun vibe, and the service was great. Cheers! read more

Awesome brewery with fun atmosphere, great friendly service, and fantastic food and beers. Boyfriend and I came on a Saturday night in mid-May for dinner and drinks. The space is large and inviting with a cool array of vintage and classic cars, great for lively groups or quieter chilling in the bar area. Our server was awesome and knowledgeable - all his recommendations were spot-on. Standouts: Their silver-medaled Helles Lager (I'm not usually huge on beer but this was amazing), Saturday Special Bavarian Burger, their Bier-Battered Sidewinder Fries, and Pickle Soup (I was intrigued, and it was excellent with the burger and fries). With Happy Hour times weekdays 3-5pm, event nights like Trivia / Bingo / Karaoke / Music performances, and Weekend Brunch, there's more than enough reason to come back and try everything. Highly recommend. (Accessibility note: Currently on a leg scooter due to casted broken ankle, and it was easy and open enough to maneuver around, use bathroom, etc. Also, staff was so helpful. Hooray Double Clutch! I will be back!) read more

We had a fairly random stop for a Saturday beer + lunch. Nice building! It's enormous and has many classic cars scattered around.

I hosted a party last weekend at Double Clutch and i have to say the entire event was phenomenal. The food was amazing, plus there were a multitude of options. The party included guests of all ages and they had a set up and seating plan that accommodated all types. And the service was perfection! I can't recall the last event I was at where ten people came up to me asking if they could add to the tip for the servers. I have to call out Rachel, Gio, Blake, Duncan and Felix for treating 125 guests as if they were family. While I was too busy having a blast at my own party to take many photos, the food was awesome. I had a slider station with 4 different sliders, a skewer station with 5 different skewers, and they arranged to have plenty of vegetarian options at both stations. And my guests all raved about the craft beer options. My grandson is still raving about the Batmobile which was a crowd favorite and in many photos! read more

Great space, cool staff who let me learn more about the options than I expected, and good usable WiFi for during the day.

We came here for trivia night and left pretty disappointed. The food was just okay, nothing memorable, and the drinks were fine but not worth the price. Overall, everything felt overpriced for the quality. Unfortunately, the trivia experience was the low point. The announcer was difficult to understand, didn't run the game smoothly, and seemed more focused on trying to be a comedian than being a clear, professional emcee. When our group had to leave midway because someone wasn't feeling well, he actually heckled us, which felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. Between the mediocre food, high prices, and poorly run trivia, it's not an experience I'd recommend--especially if you're coming specifically for trivia night. read more

Very unique place with good beer and service but the shocker is the actual cost of the items on the menu, they don't display their 3% hospitality charge on your bill, there's an option of having the charge removed but it feels very imposed once they hand you the check , as always I love supporting small businesses but this is a first in the my micro brewery experience. read more

This brewery is definitely worth the trip out of the city. I have been here a few times now and love it every time. This past visit, I tried a flight of beers and loved every single one of them! The food is also really good, and I struggle to pick out what I want every time because I want it all! Another fun thing they do is bring in different cars for different occasions, so those are fun to look at while drinking. I will definitely be back again and again! read more

Great beer selection. There for a reunion event and the location was nice as the car collection was cool!

Double Clutch Brewing has become a favorite spot. They always have a good selection of house brews on tap, and several guest brews. They also have a small collection of cocktails. All served by a friendly staff. The location has plenty of parking, though when it's busy the parking lot can be a bit tight. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They sometimes have music events. They do serve food and have a menu with good variety and reasonable prices. I love their mussels. The brussel sprouts are good, and they have a yummy pulled pork sandwich. The owner collects vintage cars, and has a rotating display that is always fun. read more

Double Clutch Brewing Company in Evanston is a fantastic brewpub that combines great craft beer, delicious food, and a unique atmosphere. The establishment offers a perfect blend of casual dining and quality brewing that makes it an ideal spot for both locals and visitors. The beer selection is impressive, with their standout being their stout (affectionately known as the "Junior Guinness"), which would please any Guinness lover. Their diverse beer menu offers something for every palate, and the waitstaff is exceptionally knowledgeable about their brews, providing spot-on recommendations to help you find your perfect pour. We started with their pretzels, which were absolute perfection - crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, served with an array of delicious mustards and cheese dips. For our main courses, the Double Clutch burger with fries lived up to its reputation of being consistently amazing. The BLT came with a side of Brussels sprouts that were a surprising highlight - they had a wonderful garlic flavor with a mysterious hint of sweetness that made them irresistible. The food portions are generous and well-prepared. Another hidden gem on the menu is their house salad with chicken, featuring their strawberry honey vinaigrette dressing - it's so good you might need to request an extra serving! The portion size is substantial enough to make it a satisfying meal. What sets Double Clutch apart is its unique seating layout. Pro tip: If you're looking for a quieter dining experience, request seating in the car section, where you can enjoy your meal surrounded by automotive history. However, if you're a sports fan, they have plenty of TVs in other areas showing the games. The service is prompt and attentive - we were seated immediately upon arrival, and our server was both friendly and knowledgeable. The casual, welcoming atmosphere makes it an excellent choice for entertaining out-of-town guests or enjoying a relaxed meal with local friends. Pro tips: - Try the house-brewed stout if you're a Guinness fan - Don't skip the pretzels as an appetizer - Request the car section for a quieter dining experience - Order extra strawberry honey vinaigrette for the house salad - The Brussels sprouts are a must-try side dish - Ask for seats near TVs if you want to catch the game - Come hungry - portions are generous! Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a great casual dining spot in Evanston, Double Clutch Brewing Company delivers on all fronts. It's definitely earned its place as a go-to establishment for both locals and visitors alike. read more

Stopped in early on a Saturday night. Great atmosphere for watching sporting events. Great food, great staff and super clean.

So before checking this place out, I saw they had a lot of lager type beers, and I feared I wouldn't like their styles. However, I had an ipa and my fiance had a Shandy that we both enjoyed. Cute little space. Plenty of parking and indoor/outdoor seating. Give them a try! Bartender was super friendly. read more

Double Clutch Brewing - Pickle soup : all I can say is, it's interesting - Breweries Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Fun brewery that looks like it's in a former garage. It seems like there's lots of breweries like that. Double Clutch certainly has a car and garage theme going on, but the best thing about this small brewery in Evanston is the beer. Get some of these plus pretty good food. The prices are pretty good for a craft brewery, and there's live music and other reasons to get something. Came here recently mostly for the beers. It was kind of crowded but not too much. The place is kind of small so any kind of crowd will make it seem crowded though. Looks like it used to be a garage. The car theme makes a good one. Beers are the main things to get. It's about $7 a pint. We had a few of these. I liked the Altbier. This was light and refreshing. As for the food, it has typical bar stuff mostly. It's about $6 for the Chips And Salsa. Also they have Veggie Chili. There's some vegan and healthy options. Gets crowded in the small space but it's still not as busy with it being far away from the campus craziness. It's a good place for seeing live music. The beers are the main attraction, and there's good options for meat eaters and vegetarians. read more
