The saddest pickle with mystery object next to it

One poor guy running the entire place by himself when we were there. Plenty of u happy people patiently waiting. They even had a special event happening too. Go for the beer and decent whiskey selection. Skip the food entirely

The flights are a bit pricey...see receipt...also, there is some strange math happening as well.

Mixed review here. Huge space! Lots of taps, including more than just craft beer...There are ciders and seltzers on tap as well. This would be a fun place for a big group or for you to enjoy time on the patio. Heads up: The Schaumburg location has food inside, this location does not. The tables inside were also a bit sticky; not sure if it was the type of table and finish it had or if it was because of the muggy feel inside. Lastly, the big stinger for me was the price. $18 for a flight is crazy. It does not even total two pints, yet you pay for more than what two beers would normally cost for the flight. That was a turn off to me. It does have five pours, but still. Overall, I like the Schaumburg location better, but if price is not an issue for you, you may like the ambiance of the St. Charles location.

So beautiful as night sets in and the world is lite on fire with fun!

Incredible space to gather with friends whether inside or outside. The interior features an awesome collection of craft beers for choosing and don't hesitate to ask the bartenders as they know their stuff! Why get lost among 50 different varieties when you ask the professionals. Once you choose then maybe kick your legs up near the metal sculpture fire pit shaped as the world! I've popped in to have a drink as well as held an event here. Owners could not be more accommodating, extremely present during the entire event stepping into handle anything needed. Our guests enjoyed the pop up food which was delicious and the trivia entertainment. Definitely a place worth returning and nothing sweeter than a dog-friendly establishment that welcomes the whole family in!!!!

First off, I'm a huge HopHead. Right off the bat, this place presents you with a tough choice of which tap to pull from. The beer I had was fresh and the bartender was kind, unlike some beer-centric pubs that grow impatient with beer questions. They don't serve food here, but they have menus for local eateries for delivery or pick up to dine in the pub. With that, the added bonus is that DOGS ARE PERMITTED in the establishment according to the bartender. This will be an easy sell to bring my wife back with me next visit. I am extremely particular about my IPA. The beer choice and dog-friendly atmosphere will make me a regular here.

Great casual tap house to add to the area. With over forty rotating taps, bring your own food, and a passionate owner, this place is an undiscovered gem. They have multiple tv's, the NHL Sunday ticket, and there is always something new to try on tap. With over 40 rotating taps the Owner's passion in providing a variety of beers to his customers is very apparent. They also offer flights if you can't decide on just one brew. The global brew house is a great place for a low key afternoon hangout with friends. Also, it's dog friendly!

Rec room area complete with an Atari.

Had the pleasure of attending a family party at Sturdy Shelter over the weekend. It was a large…read moreparty of I'd say 80 people and ben was our server for the entire five hours. He was amazing. He quickly learned everyone's drink, preferences, and anytime the drinks were getting low. He would ask if we were ready for another and was very friendly and personable, and always had a smile on his face. He was flawless in his execution of serving such a large party. I highly recommend sturdy shelter because of Ben. The sturdy shelter has a really nice private room upstairs as well as plenty of space and they also have a really nice outdoor patio overlooking the river.

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.

My son got the Mexican lasagna and loved it. -I got the smash burger and it was good, not great. Burgers were thicker than traditional smash burger, but pretty darn good.

I'm sure when the weather is nice, it would be a beautiful spot to sit outside, enjoy your meal, and take in the river views. I had their Cali Grill Chicken Sandwich and it was delicious! The bacon gave it a slightly salty flavor, while the avocado added a nice creaminess. So yummy! I also loved their fries. Hot, crispy, and perfectly crunchy! The service was great and I really liked the vibe of the restaurant. It had a cool industrial feel with steel high-top stools and wooden seating. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying some of their other menu items! The only downside was finding parking. If you're not familiar with the area, you may have to park a block or two away, so just keep that in mind when you visit.

A very small ass brewery. D & G is in St. Charles in the same building as Bring It Sports and Out…read moreOf Body Fitness. It kind of is hard to know where to go because the door to the entrance isn't obvious. Go into the main entrance like you're going into the athletic center and it's to the left. They share a parking lot so if it looks like it's busy it's probably just people working out and training. Brewery is a nice place whether or not you're doing any athletics. It seems mostly quiet in here except they play interesting music. This seems to be more like a garage than a brewery, which is a cool thing. Has quite a few beers on tap even though it's a small place. We tried a few of these. I had the Don't Call It A Double. It's $6 a pint. This is a Belgian Dubbel, and it's considered medium strong. She had an Imperial IPA. We needed something to snack on so we got peanuts. It's $1 a bag. There's not really much food or anything else you can eat. Cool place to check out and get some fresh beers. It's small so it means not a whole lot is made. They brew smaller batches so you get better beer because of this.
