    Absolutely love how cozy and chill this place is. We came here on a Saturday evening- it looks a bit off the beaten path and it's like a nice hidden place. Bright lights are around the building so you can't miss it. I had their Salted Caramel hard seltzer and by golly, totally tasted like it. There are some nice lounging couches and chairs, inviting you and your buddies to chill. The music is not over bearing. Maybe I was overbearing because we were singing along

    Google map directed us to this brewery in route from hotel in Schaumburg to Des Plains Thearter. This place was great. Out in n endustial area, but did not disappoint. Ambiance was cool like a dive bar imeets garage bar meets Hollywood. It was great. Service was excellent. Like meeting an old friend. Now the beer: an assortment of many things to chose from. I had the Cream Ale and my friend had a barrel stout. Of course the list varies. We both loved what we had...sometimes breweries beers taste the same، this was a. Ice change of pace. Cheers to Fibs!

    Fibs is a nice and laid back place. I came here on a beautiful summer early evening, so there was outdoor seating. The lady who helped us in the counter was very friendly and welcoming. I tried a flight of the seltzers and a Kolsch. The flavors of the seltzers were delicious but I liked their Kolsch the best. We also ordered Sausage & Pepperoni pizza. I know it was frozen pizza but it was actually delicious! The place had a fun and great vibe. It was clean and parking was easy as well. I will be back for sure. Til next time!

    Yapping and brainstorming drink ideas with Dean

    Fibs is a total vibe and I love the FIBS (F*ck1nG Illinois Bastards) who work there lol. Dean and Greg are two awesome dudes who run this cute little brewery. My girlfriends and I were getting dinner around the area and discovered this gem of a spot. It's right by the high school I went to. I thought it was new but they've actually been open for six years! It's a pretty small place with limited seating. They have card games, board games, and delicious drinks. We started off with a shot of Scooby Snack ($9- YUM! It tastes like a piña colada). I tried their Guatemalan Grappler ($8) which was SO good, like an espresso martini, but in beer form. So creamy and delicious. I also had the Eight-Legged Octopus ($8), a light and tasty drink! My girlfriends also really enjoyed PBJB ($8), tastes like peanut butter & raspberry jelly sandwich, but in beer form, and Nefarious Sinberry ($8). We stayed at Fibs for hours just yapping away. We got to take a shot with Greg and yap away with Dean. We also tried one of their bar snacks, crackers with goat cheese. They gave us a WHOLE tub of cheese. Amazing. I probably mentioned bringing our BFs, fiancé, and husband to this spot like 50 times. They also have live music outside during the summertime! I can't wait to go back and bring my bf next time!!

    Cool eclectic brewery with a full bar. Small, but good food menu and drinks for everyone.

    A hidden gem. We stopped in on a Sunday evening. It is hidden in an industrial park, and on a Sunday there is very little activity. They offer a variety of beers , some unusual, like the jolly rancher. They were all very good., and they can be purchased in a different sizes. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly and has indoor and outdoor seating. The server was very nice and his suggestions were great. We ordered the pizza and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Definitely will be back.

    This is my second or third time being here, this place is a Hidden Gem best beers in town, they keep switching their beers which is also good I like trying new things, I highly recommend coming here, top two beers for me were eight legged octopus apple ale and strawberry cheesecake hard seltzer, and I'm not a big fan of hard sellers at all this is probably one of the best tasting hard seltzers I ever had

    Jolly rancher (watermelon)
    Karan V.

    I love locally sourced brewed beers. Moved from Iowa and I like connecting with the community and with the owner welcoming I would say I felt connected. Tried 5 Beers watermelon jolly rancher's Fib Cage, some cream ale, some IPA and chocolate coffee all of them were different. Pizzas in the house were good This was overall a fun place to be! I would've loved to get drunk but loved the fact I was sober on a weekday.

    Went here a few weeks ago. They had a decent selection of beers and you can try them in different sizes which was nice. We sat outside since the weather was great. The lighting from the buildings was horrendous at night. There was also a party with a band; when the band was playing you could not speak to another person and actually hear them. But I would come here again!

    This was a pleasant suprise!! I Was in town for a family emergency and my father in law suggested it. He had never been but thought it might be decent. I had their DIPA and a Russian Imperial stout. Both were good. It is a pretty small batch production and I suspect they have new brews often. I will DEFINITLY stop back when I'm town.

    Guatemalan Grappler, skittles flight (strawberry, grape, orange, cherry)
    Mave R.

    First time stopping in, place has a great feel - and surprisingly for being busy it wasn't obnoxiously loud inside. Beers were good, skittles flight, nice flavor not overly sour, and the Guatemalan Grappler matched the description (tho I do wish it would've been heavier). All in all was a very great place, will most definitely be back again ...

    Green beers & Shamrock martini

    Small hidden gem! This place is located in an industrial business area.Space is a little cramped with very limited seating, but if you can get a seat it's great vibes.Very good & friendly service.Drinks & food we ordered were good, refreshing and reasonably priced. Loved that it's pet & kid friendly. I will definitely be back when the weather is warmer for patio seating and live entertainment.

    Ask the Community - Fibs Brewing

    What's better, Friday night or Saturday night?

    I haven't been there those nights, but, I would imagine, any night would be good. Sunday afternoon is my spot. When the weather is good, sitting outside is special.

    What does the name "FIB" mean?

    f*@king Illinois Bastard.

    Does Fibs sell NA beer?

    Yes, we do sell NA beer for our non-drinking friends, however, we do not brew it. We also have a wide variety of other non-alcoholic beverages and juices.

    Are they dog friendly?

    Yes. Bring 'em on in!

    Does Fibs sell Growlers ? Or Crowlers?

    Hi John, we will be selling Crowlers. We are waiting for the machine and cans to come in. Should only be a few more weeks. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook, or fill out the contact form at fibsbrewing.com to be notified of exactly when Crowlers… Read more

    We want to come for a tasting. Are you kid friendly? :)

    Absolutely! Tons of board games, sidewalk chalk, and outside room to run!

When I was a kid I use to go to the Des Plaines Theater & watch movies for 60 cents (ahhh nostalgia trip down memory lane), but I digress The speakeasy inside the Des Plaines Theater is an awesome idea. The show was awesome but the one MAJOR MAJOR issue I have is the bartender who continued to serve my sister's friend. He was obviously very very drunk to a point where he could barely walk wo/stumbling. He was slurring his words. Both my sister & I asked the bartender not to serve him anymore alcohol but she kept serving him drinks even after we asked. She continued to serve him even after we asked her not to. When he and my sister left she told me he tried to put the key in the ignition 14X's before she convinced him to let her drive. Your bartender's need to be aware of a persons level of intoxication. Both my sister & I asked her not to serve him anymore drinks but she continued to serve him. Thank God my sister was able to convince him to let her drive home otherwise what was an excellent evening could have ended tragically. Please have your bartenders be more conscious of a persons level of intoxication. While I gave Bourbon & Brass a 5 star review I need to down grade that for over serving someone alcohol even after both my sister & I asked her to stop serving him

There was a show that evening, when we entered the theater, the usher asked to see our tickets. I asked how to get to the speakeasy and the usher pointed to the elevator, take it to the second floor. Once we got to the second floor, more ushers greeted us and informed us there's a jazz band performing and small cover charge. As soon as we paid and entered through the bookshelf, the room was beautifully arranged as a lounge with fancy and vintage sofas and couches. Kind of reminds me of someone grandma's house. The bar had snacks available, otherwise more drink options. The band played good songs too. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and jazz fan.

Now, the first time I stopped in here was in the 1990's, to watch a game and eat some burgers... and I didn't go back again until the mid-2000's, just once, for karaoke. I had little kids and didn't get out much, met up with some friends and made it a quick stop for the evening, since I had to work in the morning. Here we are, 2026, and I've been in a few times in the last few months. I've got to imagine you're wondering why I'm only giving it three stars, it's the ambiance, to be honest... there's something that isn't for everyone here. I like the place, a little dive bar and a bunch of regulars, but it's not super inviting and I guess that's the issue. The crowd is also a bit on the older side and it's generally pretty dead on the weekends. The food, though... the only thing I have had and wasn't all-in on was the Caesar Wrap, because it was an oil based dressing rather than creamy and it was very messy - everything else I've had (wings, burger, fries) have been quite tasty! Yes, I'll be back, I like the Saturday-Night karaoke, the bartenders and the food.
