The service was great! Friendly, attentive, and pretty quick on food and drinks. We decided to sit on the patio since it was a beautiful night. Plus it was open mic night and we were looking for a quieter option, so the patio fit the bill perfectly. The Detroit style pizza was good. Adult rootbeer float was so yummy. The chip and dip flight was nice but I didn't care much for the salsa ish dip that came with it. The smokehouse platter was not bad. For us the burger and chicken were ok, the pork was good but not great. The cornbread waffle though, now that was tasty. I would go again and try some different things to see if anything was really great. It did look like a great beer selection, that just wasn't what we were looking for this time. read more

Stopped in to this nice little taproom which is nestled in a cute downtown area of Chesterton. We had pulled pork sandwiches which were great and did beer flights. Our favorite was Tshirt Weather from 2 Tom's Brewing. Very small inside but fun atmosphere. read more

Beer was flat and warm. Food was subpar. Hard pass Nachos were soggy. Burger was burnt and smelled like it was expired meat.

A most pleasant evening here sitting at a corner table and enjoying the beers and the wifi. Comfortable seating, a cool vibe and plenty of parking. What more do you need to know? [Review 20605 overall - 139 in Indiana - 1586 of 2023.] read more

Great place to grab food and get a drink. They food was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The beer selection is very good. They offer different entertainment through the year one of the staff told us. We were from out of town so that was cool to find out so we may make another trip to check them out again. The seating was very comfortable. I love that they do community event even though I am not from that comminuty if was cool to see they want to help others. read more

This is a very comfortable place to dine, drink and relax! There's a beautiful bar with tables in the bar. There's dining tables for families and there's a nice outdoor dining area too with low tables and high tables. Great service and ambiance. I love to check out their website to see what entertainment is happening on the weekends. Always great music! read more

Stopped here before finishing a long ride from Chicago to the Indiana Dunes. Food was mediocre. But the IPA they had on tap was quite good. Maverick from Mashcraft out of Indianapolis. Great suggestion by a bar tender with very good taste in beer. She shared with me that she was pretty into craft beers. Friendly and helpful (offered me sample of other things on tap; but her initial suggestion of the Maverick was spot on). read more

Love this place , great pizza , flights great music friendly staff , great place to stop and try flights of craft beer .

My friend and I stopped by this quaint place after visiting the Indiana Dunes National Park! It was a very large place that had board games, and a small but nice selection of summer beers. We were also hoping for some food, but unfortunately we came around a time where the kitchen wasn't open until 4 pm. Definitely worth checking out the beer selection if you're visiting nearby the area! read more

I just happened to stumble on 219 Taproom during their grand opening night and so glad I did. Great atmosphere. The owners did a really nice job designing the place. Nice and open with plenty of low and high top seating. It was packed for the opening, but staff did a good job of getting orders through and food/drink delivered in a timely manner. A little slower that usual, but definitely good for how busy the place was. I had a Coco D chocolate stout and the Thanksgiving Waffle. Great pairing. For the waffle, they created a batter out of stuffing and threw it in the waffle maker. The stuffing waffle was then topped with turkey, cranberry sauce and gravy. Nice heart entree that was delicious! There was a live band playing for the opening that was really good. Hopefully live music will be a part of the regular culture here. I'll be back regardless. read more

Dropped in for lunch after perusing the Chesterton European Market on a nice warm Saturday afternoon. There was live music on the grass near the outdoor seating which was a real treat. There is a small area for outdoor seating with 4 tables and umbrellas. We ordered their taco trio, which included smoked brisket, chicken and pork options. The meats were all tender and the recipes were delightfully unique and tasty. Particularly intriguing was the peanut butter pepper jam on the pork taco. A small cup of salsa is provided on the side. It was fresh and worked well with the tacos. They have a wide selection of beer on tap, but on this stop we didn't have any beer. Clean bathrooms too! We will be back! read more

219 Taproom - Taco trio, brisket, chicken, and pork. Delicious! - Beer Bar Near Me - Chesterton, Indiana

Beers were all IPAs with a few lagers sprinkled in and the food was trash. We ordered pulled pork nachos and they were literally round tortilla chips with a little bit of store bought shredded cheese and pulled pork. It was depressing. We also ordered Mac and cheese and mentioned it was for a kid and it was not good and extremely spicy. Very weird to have Mac and cheese on the menu and not disclose it was very spicy. Our chicken salad sandwich was the star of the show. The croissant was decent and the chicken salad was ok but it was on a bed of chip crumbs. It looked like the bottom of a store bought bag was dumped in a serving boat and voila, done. I will not be coming back here for the very limited beer selection nor the bowling alley food. read more

The Korean waffle was a pleasant surprise ! Great concept. Chips where on point, and the pickles where sweet. My wife had the 219 panini which was very rich in flavor and a great lunch option. My beer pick was the Last Light which was great. Lots of orange without the sweet taste. read more

Food & service were great. Great selection of beer on tap. Food & service were great. Great selection of beer on tap.

Disappointing, was drawn in by the music while visiting the farmers market, tried to order the Detroit Style Pizza and was told we couldn't order it because they were too busy and it takes a long time to make. Ordered the drunken shrimp flatbread that maybe had the equivalent of 3 shrimps cut up on it. read more

219 Taproom has a decent selection of draft beers from what appears to be breweries out of the Indianapolis area. So I guess this is a satellite for those breweries down there. There is no beer actually brewed on site. The seating area is quite large, and it's a nice location, located in the center of town. There is no wait service, so you will have to get up and go to the bar to order drinks and food. I didn't eat when I went there, but some friends did, and it did not appear that there were any vegan options. The beers they served were pretty average. Nothing that created a "Wow" moment for me. The positive is the size of the space, and again, the ability to walk to it from any residence located in the downtown Chesterton area. read more

I was glad we checked this place out until I received my credit card bill. I gave them a cash tip. They took the cash plus added it to my card. read more

We have been here three times in the last 8 months or so and each time is consistently good: friendly and great service; beer selections vast for IPA lovers and fruit beers; food is delicious and fresh. Our kids (ages 15-17) really like the bites. Worth the stop and try. read more

Food was delicious but portion size was small. Advertised as a taco dinner but was really a couple of taquitos and a side of corn. Not really a filling dinner for a hungry guy. He did love the beer though. Good place to go for small plates and great beer. read more
