I 1st went to another location that will remain unnamed and had a horrible experience so I thought let me see where else I can go to and Mort's popped up. As soon as I walked in it was lively and full of people, I sat at the bar and was immediately greeted by the friendly bartender! Which was awesome compared to what I just experienced at the other place. I ended up ordering 2 drinks which were strong and fair priced ! I hung out for about a hour and half watching a baseball game and just listening to wonder bar chatter, it's so nice to be able to go out again. BTW the food smelled and looked delicious had I not just eaten I would have ordered one of their burgers. I will be going back for sure thanks to the staff and atmosphere!!

However, the bartenders were both very nice and the cheeseburger was decent and very reasonable that came with not homemade chips. The Italian beef on special was ok. It is not the kind of place to make a destination place for lunch or dinner but rather a beer place.

Checked out this brewery in Freeport after coming across other places that had their beers…read more Generations is one of the main reasons to come here. It certainly has quite a few things on tap. A lot more in cans. They also have a few snacks. By the looks of the outside it wasn't anything special, just like a warehouse or something common. It's a lot more interesting inside. The taproom has enough room for the bar, and quite a few tables. Got a view into the back to see where the beers are made. There's a balcony where bands can play live music too. Beers are why people come of course. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we had of these was the Tawny Ale. This is an Irish Red of medium strength. It's about $12 for a soft pretzel. These are massive so they're great for sharing. One of the dips looked like peanut butter. This was actually fudge if you can believe it, and you can get cheese as well as mustard. For sure it's one of this city's main attractions. It's got lots of beers, and because it's in the Pretzel City, get one of those to munch on. They're closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

They have a variety of beers and one named after Freeport the Pretzel City! They have lagers, pilsners and ales. The environment is relaxing and the building stands out ! Since the main road is under construction , GPS did not help, but after we realized it kept rerouting us to the closed road. If in the area, stop in. Also their beer can be found in many locations in the Rockford area and some Binnys.

My friend and I decided to spend the weekend in Freeport recently. We found The Wagner House on…read moreYelp. It really is the coolest place in downtown Freeport. It's housed in the historic Wagner Printing building. They did a remarkable job renovating this space. Urban industrial keeping but updating much of the original space. The bar area is filled with high end gins, vodkas, whiskies, and wines all displayed in wooden shelves and cubbies. Relaxing lighting and comfortable bar seating. The bartenders and waitstaff are so nice and accommodating. I had a gin from France that was excellent. We had dinner afterwards. The dinner space is dimly lit and relaxing. Nice for a date night out. We ordered the Greek style ahi tuna and the pan seared steak. The tuna was cooked perfectly medium rare. The steak was well seasoned but I would ask for less gravy or have it on the side so you can put less or more on it to your liking. The chocolate ganache cake was very good. Very rich. Good for sharing. The upstairs space is soooo nice with comfortable vignette seating, tv's, a ping pong table, live music space, upstairs bar area. Beautifully updated with wooden floors and brick walls. This place makes it worth a trip back to Freeport. Thanks!

So there has always been a lot of hype around this restaurant in Freeport, and I was looking…read moreforward to taking my mother out for a nice meal. Our entire party was very disappointed. The food, while edible, was not up to par with the pricing. It's as if the restaurant wants to be high end, but doesn't quite hit the mark with the food. Our appetizer, baked Brie with apples, was served on a black plate that honestly, looked filthy. The rim of the plate was greasy and smudged all over. The Brie had some limp, mixed lettuce as a garnish (that should have been a clue as to the level of attention the kitchen pays to presentation). Further, there wasn't any melted Brie in there, but there was Brie rind. The onion mushroom soup was salty, and all the onions and mushrooms were invisible, having been pulverized into the broth. The servers brought the food out like they were dropping a book on the table. One of the salads ordered, was not delivered with the rest of the food- not sure if the waitress of the kitchen screwed that up. The drinks were okay- they were the only thing not sub-standard. I'm giving this 2 stars because the building interior is historic and beautiful, the chairs were comfortable, and the cocktails were fine. It would be a nice place to have pre-dinner cocktails, but I strongly suggest you go somewhere else for your dinner.

This place does not have any frills but the owner and bartender were both very nice. The burger with cheese curds was really good and an ample portion (Per the Google reviews people said the cheese curds were fantastic. They were spot on).

The bartender gave me a really nice Tito's and lemonade pour. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!
