Really liked the Chicago location a few years ago, so we decided to try their Naperville location…read more Even though they're advertised on several online sources as dog friendly, they're not. Not their fault, but the management should make it clearer that they only allow dogs on their patio. Finding the entrance was tricky, despite the solemn oath signs in the back. It didn't seem very obvious how to get in. Their beer selection is what was what really gives them the number of stars I'm giving. I'm going from memory here, but they mostly offered IPAs and some ales, and very few of any porters or stouts. It's February- you should have some more wintery type beers on tap this time of year. Maybe they're not the brewmaster's favorite styles, I dunno. Still, I'd definitely return, but I will read their menu before making the trip next time.

Beer, ok let's say, a solid lineup of beers. That's what you'll find here. Now add to that, bartenders who are knowledgeable. Knowledgeable and friendly. Let's add something else to this recipe of success and that's, an inviting space. A space that is laid out in a way that makes sense. A few TVs, a few tables and a few high top tables too large enough to hold a small party. The fact that there is a self service water station only helps me get closer to my goal of, how many glasses of water per day am I supposed to drink? Bonus ingredient for me which adds to the success of Noon Whistle, is the pinball machines. I can go on and say that the merch is pretty cool and I've spent too much time searching through the assortment of shirts and not to mention the selection of to go beers has had me standing in front of the cooler trying to weigh my options for probably longer than what I'd like to admit but there's a lot to choose from. Noon Whistle not only makes great award winning beers, but they do the other stuff that's often overlooked in other breweries. They create a memorable customer experience that I've returned for again and again.

We were welcomed after we found a spot to sit with bingo cards! I like that they have nights where food trucks come and then you are also able to bring your own food.

Miskatonic is the best reason to go to Darien, but you should also check out this Naperville location and drink up. Has quite a few beers on tap and a good variety of different stuff to choose from. There's also a pretty big food menu of salads and sausages. Getting here was kind of fun but it was annoying. It's hard to find parking around this brewery especially in evenings. There's the parking garage that you'll have to walk from. Know The Lantern is almost across the street and you'll be close. This is in the middle of a row of restaurants. Once inside we were able to get a table, but found a better location to get drinks and food ordered at the bar. The beer I got was the Vox. It's $7 for a pint. This is a pilsner that's real smooth. She got the Midnight Rider, a sour ale. The other beer we got was the West Coast Wizard, an IPA. All were good. They have a pretty big food menu. It's about $16 for a sausage entree. You can substitute a veggie sausage. A few flavors to choose from, but most of these come with bacon. The Nurnberger Bratwurst is topped with mustard and sauerkraut. Makes sense getting that one and substituting it with the veggie sausage of course. They also often have live music. Hearing great things about it and these are true apparently. It's closed Mondays. There's tons of beers as well as sausages that can be made for vegetarians.

Whiskey Hill is a funny name, as this place has beer, not whiskey. Oh well, what they have is still good. There's a pretty good selection including some hoppy and sours. A lot of breweries are in kind of strange areas. It's the case with this one. This is located on Vandustrial in a building it share with some offices and whatever. Lots of trucking companies around here. There's semis parked along the street. Anyway, the beers. It's about $6 a pour. It's not quite a pint but whatever. Even so, a pretty good price for a small brewery. Has many to choose from. Best was the 7 Mile Bridge. It's a Belgian Weisse with key lime, toasted coconut, and vanilla. A lot of lime flavor. This is almost like a sour to be honest. A pretty strong one at 7% ABV. There's not a whole lot on tap, but they manage to have quite a bit for a microbrewery to be honest. Get some beers on tap or take some of the cans to go. It's a small place but when it's warmer they have a patio. There's no food but sometimes there's food trucks.

We…read morewere warmly greeted by the host who acknowledged our event and seated us in the back overlooking the brew room, very nice. It was my first visit to your restaurant though my wife has been here before with friends. Chad was our server. He pleasantly explained the drink and dining menus and took good care of us all evening. My bride had her favorite drink, The French Martini, and you guys nailed it for her! I was very happy with the 2025 Pils. Dinner was amazing, Skirt steak for her, brisket for me with Yukon potatoes following salads for both of us. The quality and taste of the food was great and makes us want to come back and sample other dishes. We received great service and a nice complimentary glass of champagne (with Ho-Ho's) to finish our celebration. At the end of the evening we received a big surprise when Chad came over with news that we had no bill to pay as my wife's daughter and her husband had secretly called to pay the tab! So thoughtful of them to treat us and to top off a memorable meal and milestone in our lives.

Went to Hardware in North Aurora and came away with mixed feelings…read more The good: ambiance is great and the drinks were on point. Had the Marilyn saison and a solid dark beer. Bar program is strong. The short rib pot pie was a straight up winner. Rich, comforting, and not trying to be anything other than good food done right. The bone marrow lost me. Cooked well, but buried under too many microgreens and then oddly topped with tortilla chip strips. No smokiness either. It felt more confused than cohesive. Where it really started to miss was the overall approach. A lot of "the chef intends this..." type explanations. It ends up feeling like the food insists upon itself instead of just letting you enjoy it. That's the bigger issue. This place exists in a space where I don't think most people want to meet it. Not casual enough to relax, not refined enough to justify the performance. Bottom line: good drinks, great pot pie, but the experience tries a little too hard.

If you've been to Momento in the Chicago Loop, then you're familiar with the concept. I was…read moresurprised Tapville Social isn't owned by some large hospitality group, and is instead a locally-run, small-ish business. The drink concept is self-pour (except for cocktails). Beers, wines, and champagnes use an RFID card, and you pay by the ounce (or fraction thereof). The good news is you can try a bonafide sip of just about everything and anything without feeling bad. The bad news is that while the cost isn't high, if you're not careful, it adds up quickly. I truly did enjoy the variety, and especially loved that they have the special glassware, complete with bases, that you may pour yourself a flight. I also enjoyed seeing how everything was organized by category, so that you may find something more your speed rather than a recent brewery experience where I am looking for something that isn't an IPA. For food, I ordered the Brussels Sprouts. While not mind-blowing, these were above average. The sprouts were pretty well roasted (not quite perfect, but not bad), and I liked the sweet, savory, and acidic notes of the bacon, maple, cranberries, and balsamic. Everything was well-balanced and I happily cleared my plate. Next, especially for a place that is largely self-service, I want to recognize my server for being kind and attentive throughout the experience. In terms of value, I feel as though their prices are around average, given the area and the product, for I am sure the tech is not cheap! The vibe is something I can only describe as brewery-esque, with brick, metal, and wood. I am less concerned about the walls, though, what I do want to highlight is how clean everything was! With the amount of hands touching everything, this is no easy feat. Final verdict: Sometimes, especially on a warmer day, it's not about fancy whiskey or food, but about simple food and drink done well. Tapville Social is that place. There are more than enough beers that you're sure to find something you like, and solid food that you have something to wash down, and aren't drinking on an empty stomach.
