    Craft beer made to perfection, always a welcoming environment. Give it a try! Been there a few times and it's always a hit.

    What a lifesaver this place was! We were looking for a place to sit down and have a meal on a…read moreSaturday night after driving into town. We were greeted at the door by the bartender and told we could sit anywhere besides the booths. We found a table in the bar area and were greeted by Santiago, our fantastic waiter. He was so attentive but gave us space to enjoy our meal. We tried both their seasonal Kolsch and Pilsner and they were so drinkable and went down smooth with our meal. We got the Reuben egg rolls to start and my husband, who is a huge fan of Reuben's said this may be his favorite rendition! He ordered the proclaimed "best burger in Chicago" and agreed it was absolutely delicious. He liked that the bacon was ground into the beef patty for an evenly distributed smoky flavor. I had the falafel wrap which was so good with crisp, cold salad with tzatziki and warm falafel all rolled into a wrap for a delicious, handheld meal. Inside, you can see their beer vats as part of the decor as well as many pieces of artwork featuring their fuzzy Giant. It's a fun atmosphere and I would recommend it! Also, it is conveniently located in the same building as the AMC so you can grab a bite or beer before or after a movie!

Plenty of tables and bar seating, this casual spot was perfect for a break from the hustle. We were really drawn to the artwork and whimsy of it all! Our server was a bit short and non-present but it didn't ruin the experience. They have a good variety of seasonal and all the time brews! We had their Black Lager and IPA, both of which were refreshing! Nothing crazy to write home about, but good sippers! Worth a stop for sure!

    Visiting friends and we decided to go out brewery hopping in the Aurora & Batavia areas. So glad…read morethat brought us to Sturdy Shelter Brewing. There was a good size crowd there which added to the experience because everyone was enjoying their delicious beers and it was great meeting people. It felt like a community gathering place. It's a big place so it can handle a lot of people without it feeling overly crowded. There was live music on the upstairs level that everyone was enjoying. The beers were fantastic. It's a challenge to decide what beer you want because there is a lot of delicious options. I went with the ESB because it's a great style of beer you can't often find. Others in our group recommend their Hazy IPA. Easily a 5 star rating. Make sure to visit this amazing brewery in Batavia. Russ & Jan Livonia, MI

    Checked out this newer brewery in Batavia. It has a lot of room inside, but even that isn't enough…read morefor the large groups, and parties. Sturdy Shelter has a pretty good variety. A good amount of choices, whether it's light or a strong one that will kick ass. They also have a food menu, with basics such as pretzels and snacks. For the most part it's good. It's located in an old building downtown that has a couple levels. The upstairs is often used for private events like parties. If it's not available then it's hard to get a seat anywhere. The seats at the bar fill up, and there's only a few tables. It's about $7 a pint. There's a few of the more stronger ones that cost more though. Best one we had the last time was the 3 Amigos Imperial Stout. Full bodied and thick as a brick too. There's notes of ancho chilis, cacao nibs, cinnamon, and vanilla. Also got something to eat. It's $8 for the Bavarian Pretzel. Helps to absorb the alcohol. They also have chips and salsa among the food options. Got to add it to the list of breweries that seem to be everywhere in this city. It's located on Shumway Avenue in a historic old building full of history. This is a popular place to have private events or whatever.

    I was surprised to see the reviews of this place after eating here on a trip. Our waitress Tiffany…read morewas hilarious and very attentive. I am instantly attracted to anything spooky themed, so their billboard instantly drew me in. We're not drinkers, so we appreciated their NA selections. Live music was great and the patio is beautiful. We're told that if you view through the binoculars on the patio, you might catch people peeing in the woods. My beet flatbread was 10/10, fried pickles were delicious and perfectly breaded, and my husband enjoyed his patty melt. Don't be deterred by the low reviews, this is a great place to enjoy a casual meal on a fall evening.

    We came here with a group of friends on a Sunday after spending the day at the Warren Dunes.

I stopped drinking a while back, so I can't attest to their beer selection. Others I was with said that their beers were 'average to slightly above', for what it's worth. The glaring issues here are their prices and food portions. Both are out of touch. A turkey BLT wrap that's sized to feed a toddler shouldn't be $16. They also charge for sides of ranch, etc. I'm okay with a higher price if the food is excellent and the portion sizes warrant it, but neither were the case. The BLT was average. My wife's flatbread was four pieces, half of the size you get at 99.9% of all restaurants. $17 for that was ridiculous. They'd be better off calling this a small 'app'. Honestly, not a fan. Wouldn't recommend or come back. Superior breweries can be found within 20 minutes.
