Upon ordering a tasty beverage, I was denied the ability to pay with cash. That's unfortunate, because the beer was tasty, but not being able to pay with cash is very unAmerican and I will not ever support any establishment like this. Please change your policy, as it says right on the dollar bill, "this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private!" read more

Werk Force Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

Love it when they have live music. We also enjoy the quieter times to play card games or just chillax. Happy Belly is a great partnership.

Amazing selection of beers. I discovered this place by accident and immediately fell in love with it. Katy at the counter patiently mapped the beers to my taste. She is amazingly awesome. - Ravi read more

Best place to go for Great Brew selection fantastic Happy Belly food and real conversation with friends old and new in an environment that allows hearable talk. Cant stress enough how comfortable this place is without the blaring juke box or tv that block out conversation. read more

Nice brewery off the beaten path with good beer, food, and service. The brewery was buzzing with people old and new and the atmosphere was great. Definitely worth a try if you like craft beer. read more

The beer and food was good. However, on yelp, it says dogs are allowed but after sitting down the staff said they don't allow dogs. They were very nice about it, let me finish my beer and gave the kids a free cookie with our food order. But if there is a patio, dogs should be allowed - unfortunately since they are not dog friendly I won't be back. read more

Not a fan of their customer service. Felt very hostile I'd go elsewhere! Plenty of different options around there!

As amazing as the selection of beers are, the staff and atmosphere is really what makes Werk Force shine. Great chill environment that is great for going out with buddies or the family. read more

This place has a sweet patio! They've got lots of unique beers and it's got a cool industrial vibe! There aren't a lot of food options, which is kind of a bummer but I understand that beer is their main thing. I also found out that their patio isn't dog friendly, although I've seen many dogs there before ‍ read more

Good brews, better people, a kitchen, and a outdoor patio A Chicago brewery that makes some of the intriguing stouts in the south. Their stuff can be hard to find (typically sell out quickly) in Chicago and surrounding areas. While it is a mini pilgrimage to come out here as I live in Chicago I am satisfied with my decision. I only wish I could have brought my dog to enjoy the weather with me out here. They're playing various forms of rock from their speakers as we enjoy the libations and there is something for everyone. From lagers to barrel aged stouts and 4 packs to go. Their menu is accessible online and they even have a mini kitchen inside there is a small shared parking lot nearby that is first come first serve. Appears kid friendly and laid back. Wheelchair accessible. Atmosphere: rustic, industrial Staff: friendly, welcoming, efficient Food/drinks: something for everyone Room for improvement: maybe more ideas for entertainment. read more

located in an industrial park so it gives you plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors and parking is not an issue . The beer selection is good with a interesting selection of flavor to peak your interest. The food was amazing read more

I see they've dumped my old review. Thats ok. Still 5 star beer. Wide variety . They changed, obviously cause of the Covid. You need to wear a mask, when walking inside to order beer. There is no drinking a beer inside. However they have a nice outdoor patio, with a bunch of bourbon barrels, chairs around those, some other tables, a bunch of portable fire pits. It's lit up, it's fine, no masks are required. Food trucks come occasionally. Being winter, Im enjoying Sleepy Bear on tap. German Chocolate style. Cans 4 sale. Prices vary. Still a good atmosphere here. Brando and his crew are trying hard. He and his wife are good people. Come out , sample some beer, TAKE SOME HOME! Support craft beer before they go away and we'll be stuck with Miller lite and Budweiser! read more

Made the drive out here(almost an hour) for a buddy's birthday gathering, only to be disappointed. Experienced watered down beer, 7-Eleven level food, barrel aged stout was good but they ran out of it. On a Friday mind you, half their beers were sold out! One of them I tried was supposedly Mango & another Hibiscus though the flavors weren't present in the taste. Makes it easier for me never to return again(shrug). What a waste of time & money! read more

Pretty cool place; open and airy. There is a train track that runs right next to it so I can see that being annoying if you're sensitive to loud noises. Staff were nice, beer is good. I guess they have food but we didn't try anything. The patio is cute too; this place reminds me of a bar I would find in Denver or Seattle. read more

5 Fun Facts: 1. The Beer is good! Pick Up 2 at a time! 2. Beer line is the left and food line is the right 3. Lots of seating both inside and outside 4. Additional parking out back 5. Same building there is a Winery to explore. Rock On! read more

This is a great spot to relax and try a few craft beers, and also get a bite from a food truck if you come when they're scheduled. The food trucks are hit or miss. You can bring your own food though if you want. They are dog friendly which is a big plus. It's a large space and nice on a good weather day like today to have the big bay doors open. Ten Drops Coffee is next door, and Tailwinds is a few doors down in the industrial strip. read more

Rude workers! This was our first time going here and they didn't greet us with any respect. I love breweries but this one is not the one I'll be coming back to. Please be aware. read more

Had the amazing 5 course beer and dinner pairing for Valentine's Day! It was amazing-all the course were delicious and the beer pairing was perfect! Fine Dining! read more

I've been $supporting$ this establishment for more than 10 years since they had their little, tiny garage setup before their expansion. I know and frequent their bar tenders, who until today have been top notch. Truly top notch! I was confronted by a tender who asked if my "wife" should be served another drink. I've been married to this beautiful woman for almost 30 years and never have we ever experienced what we did today. Mind you, my wife is the one who introduced me to Werk Force almost 10 years ago. And I've seen many incidents there, and we were never part of it. But today, I feel we were singled out, being the only Hispanic customers of the night. Today I feel a bit of discrimination, considering the amount of people consuming this evening were all white, and the only Hispanic group at a table was my group of 6. I gave thousands of dollars to this establishment for more than a decade. No longer, and I advise any newcomers to consider my experience this evening. I loved this place for years and looked forward to the weekends on stopping here and enjoying some really great beer. My WIFE has never been obnoxious or insulting or disturbing anywhere, and not one moment tonight was she in anyway what they perceived her to be, but only enjoying her new IPA that WH had to offer. Consider your hard-earned money and dedicate the spend to a well-deserved brewery, but not Werk Force. I will miss this great spot as I have enjoyed for years, but I won't regret the insulting insinuation directed to my wife. Breweries come and go, WF has good beer, but not the best. Take your HARD ERANED MONEY elsewhere. I truly believe this was a singled-out incident on the only Hispanic group of the night. read more

I have visited this place twice in less than a month and I love their beers. I like breweries that serve food and the kitchen has simple but quality plates that are great pairing with all the beers. It is kind of order and pay for the food and beers, but you can open a tab and the guys pouring the beers are super friendly and knowledgeable about the different beer styles which translates to a good service experience. The ambiance is industrial and pretty much like a brewery with barrels all over and music in the background. I can foresee this place growing in popularity and food service as well. Their beers are already amazing!! read more

Very friendly people work here and they are very helpful in giving you samples and finding the right drink read more

Really cool spot, not only in terms of the beer, but also the design of the place. It's got a lot of seating, both indoor and outdoor, so perfect for when it's warm out. For beer, I got the stacks of wax and the to didgeridoo or to didgeridon't there, and then a 4 pack of the foggy rhetoric to go. All of them were quite good. They had plenty more beers to choose from, something for everyone. The bartenders were all nice. There's a parking lot with plenty of space. It's also located right off I-55 so not hard to get to, though it is quite a drive if you're coming from the city, but it's definitely worth making the drive, or if you happen to be in the area, even better. I'd gladly come back if I'm ever down this way again, there were definitely more beers I'd like to try. read more

We had a 40th birthday party at the den and it was amazing not only was a great beer. We had great food from Happy Belly but the service and the attention from the staff at Werk force was the best. If you haven't been there, you should try it not only is the atmosphere wonderful the staff is great and the food is out of this world read more

First time coming here, wanted to try out at new local place that I haven't been to yet. I'm big on Breweries and this place definitely isn't too bad. It gets a fair amount of people, and I enjoy that it welcomes kids and pets. People may be at a hit or miss with the train but I enjoy the fact it's next door to the railway. The prices aren't too bad and neither is the vibe. Parking can be bad at times since this place is a popular business spot. It sadly doesn't have food but it's worth checking out. read more

Awful arrogant nasty servers. Over priced beer. We brought a anniversary/bday party there on a Saturday. Had a great time at Dock Rotz and Irish times. We should have stayed at one of those places. This place really put a crap candle on the end of the night. read more

Delicious beers and we loved the vibe here! The staff were so friendly and happy to chat about their craft. I'm not even a big beer person and I enjoyed everything I tried, especially the Holla Holla peach Gose. We'll be back! read more

I love this place! Best beer, employees, and owners! I love that they also have to go beer so I never miss out on all their great IPAs

Excellent beer, good variety, nice indoor and outdoor space. Loved the winter lodge theme they did! And the food trucks are a nice bonus. I'd also really like to commend the owners for doing the right thing and no longer allowing dogs. That decision will make me come there more often! I'd rather enjoy my beer without having to worry if a dog fight is about to break out in front of me. read more

Very cool place and lots of tasty beers! Homemade DIY ambiance. VERY knowledgeable and friendly staff really stood out and made us feel welcome with engaging beer conversation. Really enjoyed the stouts and the hazies,and with those you really can't go wrong, altho we liked the fact that a couple beers were experimental and unique too. Even grabbed a cinnamon-maple stout can to take home! Keep up the good work guys! read more

Love visiting this place when I'm in town. Different brews each season and a variety including wheats, sours, IPA's, and stouts. Also a good hang out to catch up with friends. No TV's so you have to socialize. ;o) Dogs allowed too! read more

The server who worked there was down right rude and embarrassed me in front of the customers. My husband and I were out and about and stopped there before heading back to our daughter's home. We were visiting from WI. We did not know they were not dog friendly. She did not say hello and was rude when she said they were NOT Dog Friendly. A hello and a polite we do not allow dogs would have been all we needed. I would taken our fur baby to my daughter's home and we would have came back. But instead we left and went elsewhere. For the rudeness and embarrassing me if I could give a 0 star to the server I would have. read more

Great space and great beer selection. You can try 5oz samples until you find the few you really enjoy.

Beer is way overpriced!! The cashiers are helpful and friendly, except the ratty red bearded guy who's annoying, Too many kids running around for a bar, won't be going back because of both. PS. Bring back the dog friendly patio, you're losing business because of it!!! read more

Great beer and extensive beer list. I like places with a great variety. Limited seating inside at this time because of COVID/social distancing, but I greatly respect them spacing people out. The outside patio had plenty of outside seating and heat lamps. Staff were friendly. read more

A overall impressive and big Brewery in the Town of Plainfield the only problem I have is the name of this place as it should have some trained Association as a train runs right past it within 10 yards the bear was very different styles in all very good and this is about as typical of a brewery as one will find with plenty of seating but again the name is bad and it's not even spelled right read more

Good variety of beer, great food, nice outside atmosphere, what else could you ask for plus easy parking on a Friday night. There was families with kids, couples on date night and the boys or girls just going to have "one" groups there. You pick up your own beers and food but Staff was always cleaning up your table and a convenient spot outside to put your empties or garbage outside. read more

Werk Force is a great place, staffed by great people that produce great beer. They do great things for their community and the owners are great. Werk Force is a destination brewery for us and we have a great time every time we go. We always feel comfortable and welcome every single time we have a few beers there and the experience is always great. Thanks Werk Force & staff for always being great! read more

Best brewery around!! Always an awesome selection of high quality beer that is not overpriced. Family friendly! Great food with Happy Belly inside now. Love this place! Great vibes! read more

My favorite spot for beers after work on fridays. Stellar BA stouts and a broad variety of strong offerings in every beer category. Friendly staff and a business that gives back to the community and people. read more

We had a little trouble finding it, as the sign we followed led us to a door that was locked and said closed. Plenty of people in the parking lot tho- so we knew it had to be open. Luckily someone pointed us to the other end of the building. Large space, outdoor seating available, and a good atmosphere. They happened to have live music the night we went which was a nice treat! Beers were okay at best. Pineapple craft soda was comparable to carbonated pineapple juice, however it was refreshing. Nice little stop! read more
