Everything a craft brewery should be... Very cool decor in a spacious building with comfortable seating throughout. A room full of pinball machines and other table-top games for the kids. (And a selection of soft drinks). Incredibly welcoming and friendly servers. A solid selection of their own beers plus a handful of guest beers. Always nice to see this. Most importantly... really good beer. I only had time to try two, but I really want to return to try a few others.

Great flight!

This was such a nice find! We were in town for a wedding and were exploring the town when we found Triptych Brewing. The beer was very good and they offer tasters for their beers so we were able to try a few; they were all very tasty and we really enjoyed them. The service was great as well and everyone was very friendly. There's tons of room here for groups here and they have games and pinball as well, which is always fun. We had a great time here and would definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area!

Good place to get some quality beers. It kind of is hidden a ways but worth looking for so keep your eyes out. Triptych is a brewery located in Savoy. It's a ways from the UI chaos. Pretty nice for those just wanting to enjoy beer instead of chugging it like frat boys do Natty Ice, so go here. A bit out of the way from campus. It's not a bad thing for real. This is where to go to get local stuff. It wasn't busy. We got a few, including the Thiol Trip Tech. It's about $5 a pint. This one was a hazy IPA, bold but not overly hoppy though. Has no food. There's chips and pretzels for $1 or so. For sure would choose this over a frat bar. It has these beers available in bars but go here to get exclusives. They have lots here to try.

Triptych Brewing is one of the few local craft breweries in Champaign you must definitely check out. They have a great selection of beers and plenty of seating area. You can order a flight, which you can pick up to four 4oz selections. Luke's Still Here, Man... was one of my favs.

Stopped on a road trip. Good beer, good service, good atmosphere. Sat in the outside patio and enjoyed food from the La Paloma food truck. Really enjoyed the stop - if we find ourselves in the area again, we will stop back!

Amazing brewery and a great place to chill. I like this place because - 1. The beer is brewed locally and you can see the brewing tanks outside. 2. The owner likes to experiment with the beers so each time you go you can try something new! My sister loved the blueberry beer, yes a blueberry beer and it was delicious. 3. If you are real beer drinker not like the whiteclaw, bud light shit then they have some decent IPAs, Lagers too. Non-beer folks like this place too because they do different fruitier concoctions ! 4. Super friendly staff that will explain you the beer so you know exactly what you are getting and don't guess randomly based on cool beer names. 5. They have shuffle board and few other board games, chess.

Generous flight-priced right.

I almost don't want to write a five-star review because I want to keep this place a secret. However, I know that it's popular, so I guess the cat is already out of the bag. Amazing beers, great selection. Super nice staff, great atmosphere. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and brought our own snacks (food trucks arrive in the evening). We went through two flights of beer (between the two of us) and walked out with a four-pack of AJ's Stout and a tee-shirt. We were already big fans of the beer, and now we are even bigger fans.

I'm not a fan of IPAs, but tried their Acid Meme IPA and actually liked it, so a visit to the brewery was in order. We made the trek down to Champaign to drop our son off at U of I this past weekend, so we popped in to Triptych for some sampling. It's a typical taproom type venue, relaxed atmosphere and lots of room.  We sat at the bar and ordered right away.  I believe you can bring in your own food, play games, read a book, or whatever, for as long as you wish.  I ordered a flight (four 4-oz samples), and an extra 4-oz sample.  For 5 samples, our bill was about $8.75.  Not bad at all.  I tried a hefeweizen, a wheat, a maple syrup/coffee stout, a peach sour and the candy cane milkshake IPA.  They were all so smooth and delicious - I was expecting to not like at least 1 of them, but nope, but they all met my approval. Our server was laid back and I didn't feel pressured to order quickly or pay out.  No one made me feel like a weirdo because of my choices (like other places!).  I recommend dropping in sometime.  They surely know what they are doing if they can get me to actually approve of 2 different IPAs!

If you like quality beer and a fun atmosphere, check out Triptych. The staff is cool and will serve you a cold beer in quick fashion. My current favorite Triptych IPA is O RLY!? And if you get hungry, have a pizza delivered or eat at one of the food trucks chilling outside. Triptych makes it easy to support a local business. Great product with great service.

Nothing better than relaxing outside with a cold beer! The staff is always there to help with choices for which beer to drink.

Great place and some really good beers. On the edge of Champaign. After all these years we finally made a trip there and we will be back.

Will they fill generic growlers or does it have to be theirs?

Hello, we don’t fill growlers at Triptych. We do sell all of our beers in cans to go though.

This is one of my favorite bars in chambana. I find it highly valuable because if I do go out,…read moreit's frequently last-minute and by myself, and Quality is an extremely social bar. It has a very open layout without the nooks and crannies commonly found in other bars, and I think this encourages random meetings and conversations among strangers. I usually have no problem showing up by myself and playing darts and chatting with some random people. The only reason I'm taking off a star is because the crowd can be very very transient. Sometimes I'd go in and find very few people there, and sometimes it's jammed. I also wish they'd lean a bit more wheat/Belgian/sour on their tap list.

I came here on the night of July 27,2025 with a group of women I befriended at a previous bar. I…read morewas the only masculine lesbian of the group, and the white man who was a "superior" security officer in shorts and sandals refused to let me in. after my friends talked to the man, he claimed that I refused to show ID. I keep two forms of ID in my wallet , and I also had two wristbands on from previous bars I decided to explore. he then lied to my group and claimed I was disrespectful. this was my first time ever going to that bar. I've lived in the area for a year , but I don't get out much. I'm a shy person and I don't talk much. the man never spoke to me regarding iD because I had never been there before. the black man at the door replied "that's the boss " when addressed about the injustices occurring at the entrance. feminine women are welcomed by staff, but masculine women are stopped at the door. go where you're respected sweetheart. Neil st blues is around the corner and they would never treat anyone like that. My people should spend their money where they are appreciated . This is how they feel about us. I don't encourage anyone to spend their money where their money and energy isn't valued. The good people at Neil st blues welcomes everyone no matter what They may believe in and you can tell from the moment you walk through the doors. this place is discriminatory.

Had great stuff at this Southern themed restaurant in Champaign. It has a lot of chicken but also…read moreplenty of vegetarian choices if avoiding meats. Watson's is one of the cleaner and shinier hangouts but it still has some campus vibes. A lot to choose from. The prices aren't bad for portion and quality. Coming in the first time it wasn't that busy. It's a lot crazier when school is in session. This has been around for a while now but it's still a pretty cleaner looking kind of place okay to bring families of students or whatever. A lot on the menu. There's shit tons of drinks and we got a few of these. It's about $5 to get a slushie which hit the spot because outside it was hot. There's a few flavors to choose from which rotate. Among the cocktails are a few that are cool looking. I got one of the seasonal specials, the Campfire Mule. This was made with ginger beer, lime, and whiskey. It's about $12 for the cheapest entrees. She got the Tofu Basket, which was big enough for a meal. This was panko breaded tofu triangles and waffle fries, with a choice of a sauce. I got the Watson's Po Boy. This comes with a choice of protein and I got tofu. Comes topped with lettuce, onions, and a choice of sauce and got it with the vegan remoulade. Great stuff. Also has plenty of choices for chicken. They got the hot style. Got to say it has lots to choose from. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. There's chicken of course but also plenty of things for vegans and vegetarians.

i am not sure what happened to this place, but ever since they expanded to more locations, this one…read morehas suffered immensely. I am here for Ebertfest and it has now taken over an hour to get drinks, food, and dessert. I am trying to flag down my server because I was worried about the amount of time it was taking. She apologized and took off the dessert, but she seemed to be the only one working. I was near the back so I got to see all the other servers "yucking" it up and just standing around while this poor lady was doing laps. I am from the service industry and only 40 so I'm not being a Karen. This server deserves a huge raise and probably a better job. Pair that with them cutting down the menu, this place went to a "must see" in Champaign to a maybe. What I ate was tasty, but the rest of Champaign has caught up and starting to leave them behind.
