    Beers were delicious and service was outstanding. Needs more of a vibe but I enjoyed my Thursday night visit.

    Pricey flight in taproom.

    Awesome tap and bottle selection, knowledgeable and kind staff, and a really cool tap room in an unassuming spot- would 100% come back.

    We have been to Phase 3 : Elmhurst several times and we love it!…read more The first time we visited, it was just for beers. The beers were excellent, and the food looked and smelled so good that we vowed to come back! We've been back twice now and loved it each time! You can't go wrong with their beers! Their flagships are solid and they always have a healthy number of experimental brews. Best of all the worlds! This time we both got IPAS and loved them all: Trail Trip, West Coast Pixel, and Swells! Trail Trip was my favorite because I prefer non-hazy. For dinner I got the double-dipped fried chicken sandwich with a side of fries. YUM! Bursting with flavor and deliciousness! The spicy gochujang sauce is divine! And super filling! My husband did the OG Burger, Fries, and 10 oz beer for $15 Monday/Tuesday deal. He loved the food, drink, and the deal! The space is so clean, open, and inviting. The front dinning area is spacious enough with plenty of seating and the bar, but there is also a fantastic outdoor space. The servers will all friendly, helpful, and professional. Things can move a little slowly, but it is worth the wait! On busy weekend nights, they do have online reservations, so that can be a good way to secure a spot! Next time we are in Elmhurst, we will definitely be back. We love Phase 3!

He was extremely kind, courteous, and attentive while keeping up with the busy tables. Really makes a difference! And the FOOD! Omg amazing. Super fresh, tasty, and homemade with very generous portions If you aren't into beer, fear not because the cocktails are SO GOOD! I had the margarita and it was delicious and strong! The prices are not bad at all considering how delicious everything was. Come here instead of going out to the overhyped and over priced commercialized restaurants in Oak Brook.. You definitely get more bang for your buck at this place. Can't wait to go back!

On this coldish Wednesday winter evening, it wasn't as busy and boisterous as our previous visits, and that was just fine for our usual catchup party of 3.  Sam was our fine and attentive server and she adequately took care of the whole dining room on this night. Arriving at 5:30pm, we took advantage of Happy Hour and had 6 beers by 6pm for $5 each.  We also had a cheese curds appetizer for $10 (discounted from regular $12). I had my usual 3 beers for our catchup session, namely: - Moreover hazy IPA, 6.5% ABV - Mango Double Marbles Imperial IPA, 8.0% ABV - Appetizer hazy IPA, 5.5% ABV For food, I had their chicken tikka masala platter for $22.  My colleagues had a high steak sandwich with salad ($20), and an Italian Beef with fries ($18).  All were delicious.  There is now a 3% credit card fee.  Overall, still one of the best Chicagoland brewpubs around.

    Two Hound Red is a nice, roomy, and chill brew pub in downtown Glen Ellyn.  The building apparently…read moreused to house a long time Schmid's Pharmacy and has a big, woody barn feel to it with solid wood tables throughout.  It's bright and airy towards the open front but darkish in the rear near the open kitchen.   Importantly to my pals and I, they also have a nice, big, and diverse beer selection and some good pub food.   I had my usual burger and beer dinner for this catchup session and for our usual beer geek party of 3.   We learned all pints are $5 all night on Thursdays, yippee, and they start conducting a trivia game at 7pm that appeared to draw more patrons in (it also got annoyingly a bit loud).  We started with pretzels ($9) and cheese curds ($13).  The pretzel slices weren't very fresh and probably the only slight disappointment to the evening.  The cheese curds were quite nice and delicious.  I had their delicious mushroom swiss burger with tater tots ($17).  One pal had the same and another had their Old Fashion burger and we all liked them.  It was stated to be a 6 oz burger but looked more like 8 oz, yum!  I also tried 3 of their IPA's: - Hazy Hound New England IPA, 6.3% ABV - Exponential Power IPA, 7.5% ABV - Pale Horse IPA, 7.2% ABV I really liked the Hazy Hound, thought their popular Exponential Power was decent, but I didn't particularly like the Pale Horse.   Overall, still a mighty fine beer menu here and I wouldn't mind a second try of their beer list.  What my pals drank is on the itemized bill photo for the record and we all enjoyed this outing and venue.   Our server was Eline M and she was knowledgeable and attentive to us loiterers. They have a small private parking lot but there is also plenty of easy street parking out front.   The big place wasn't particularly busy until close to 7pm trivial game time.  Overall, I'll go with 4.50 rounded up to 5 stars particularly for their nice $5 per pint Thursday promo.

The service is really quick, and the servers are all really nice. The only thing I had against this place was that they were playing loud rock music that was not very family-friendly for one of the times we were there, but it didn't take away much from the experience. I also wanted to add that we went here for my sisters birthday and when we mentioned it, the lady serving us came with a big slice of a really fancy cake with a decorated plate and ice cream. To make it even better, she even gave her a hand signed card with a 10 dollar gift card inside!! Thank you so much to everyone at Yard House, you really impressed us!
