It gets crowded because people around here know good beer it seems. Along with the beers is also a food menu. The prices are higher than the grubby bars in town, but for sure it matches the higher quality. Better get prepared for how hard it is to park here. It's got a parking lot but it's full often. This was crazy the last time we came here on a weekend. People around here know it's better beer than the crap they otherwise have. You may have to park on a street. Beers are pricier than average but they make smaller batches. It's about $8 a pint. Best of the ones we had was the Highland Hairy. This is a Belgian IPA. A pretty good amount of food. There's a ton of pizzas. Most food choices are meaty. There's also wings. A lot of big and messy items. It's about $7 for the Garden Salad. A pretty standard one with croutons. There's also salads covered in bacon, buffalo chicken, and other heavy stuff. Got to be one of the places to go if you're around here. It's really busy at times, and just park wherever if you can't get a spot. They're located on the east side of town, and closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

It happens to be located inside an old church repurposed for something more useful. Friendly and knowledgeable. There's a surprisingly large variety of choices on tap. Bad thing is the limited hours. It's small so there's not tons to choose from but they still have quite a lot. That means everything is expertly crafted and whatever you get is great stuff. A choice of flights if wanting to try a few. It's about $6 a pint. Best one we had was the Oh Danny Boy. This is an Irish Red ale with caramel and toasted malt notes. Also great IPAs and other classics. There's often something coming out each season. For sure if coming this way get some beers. It's got a few snacks but you can bring stuff in. They're closed from Mondays to Wednesdays.

This is a very quaint place, but they also have a cute little area. There is a variety of beer to choose from and if you're like me that doesn't drink beer, they also have a small wine selection.

Everyone Deserves a second Chance…read more I visited PSB on my lunch because they have a Plant based Gyro and that in itself is very difficult to find. They were steady for lunch but not nearly as busy as I expected at 1230 on a Friday. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was very nice. She was very polite and attentive. I ordered the one thing I came for (obviously), and was surprised by how quickly It was ready. Something I appreciated as I was on lunch at work, so I had limited time to begin with. The Gyro was delicious! I got their pickled onions on the side as I wasn't sure how strong they'd be. They were actually very good and an excellent compliment to the gyro itself. The Gyro was served with Potato Wedges. These I could have done without, they differed in size so the cook was drastically different depending on which one you got. The small ones were almost over done and the large ones weren't cooked enough. The Sandwich was definitely the highlight of my meal. This place is so cool, Such a beautiful building with amazing outdoor seating. My other complaint is the price. $20+ for a sandwich (after tax) is outrageous. I am very happy to have tried it, It was delicious. I most likely won't go back for that sandwich though. Too many options around at a fraction of the price. This place definitely deserves to be tried by everyone. They are one of the best spots in all of Rockford.

Found out about this brewery and barbecue restaurant in Galena to get some local beers and lunch…read more Galena Brewing Company has been a long time favorite around here for hanging out. It has quite a few beers on tap to choose from in a few styles. As for the food it's pretty average. There's a lot of meaty things. Crowded place with a bar area and tables for groups. It's best known for the beers obviously. There's a pretty great variety on tap. A lot more in bottles and cans. It's about $7 a pint. Best we had of these was the Oktoberfest. This is a Marzen lager that's rich and smooth. As for the food it's mostly meaty choices. It's about $5 to get the Sweet Potato Waffle Fries. The rest of the menu has smoked brisket and pulled pork so the place is meaty. Got to say the beers are the best things to get here. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's a new name for this place but it's still the same beers along with some more food and whatever.

Based on the variety we were thinking we need to drive up here more often to be able to try everything on the menu. However the taste was barely average, not seasoned well and therefore not very tasty. We actually liked our beer and wine better than the food. We opted to not take the leftovers home. We won't go out of our way to make another trip, but if in the area we'll give it another try. The service was good. But the atmosphere felt cold as it's an industrial look. We liked the look of the patio which was much more inviting looking than the inside.

We showed up at 12 after our games. They maybe had 2 tables of people. We asked for 36 seats outside. They had double that available.

We thought that was weird since it was noon but sat down anyway. 1 hour later we finally were able to order food and it is 2pm and we still haven't received our food. Several large groups came after us and have received food. Poor form. Not impressed. Our server is really nice...otherwise this place get la 1 star. The owner needs to remind their manager that having the place full is a good thing, and they need to staff it appropriately for a tournament weekend.
