They are obviously open and have seating inside and then during summer they actually open a part of their exterior wall like a garage door and there's also barstool type seating there as well so you can enjoy the great weather and the sun while still drinking whatever you purchased from them. They have an incredible selection in the store and every single time I walk in here whoever is working is super friendly and super helpful. I will say when you walk in it's not really straightforward because you can buy things and take it home buy things and drink it there or they even have beers on tap as well at the big counter. Every time I come in here, there's always people as well no matter what the weather is and it's great to see.

Once you're inside, they've done a great job creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile.

The beers are local and really good, with a wide selection--perfect if you're with a group that likes different styles. There's something for everyone. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area.

Beer On The Wall has a few locations around. Here it has quite a bit to choose from. The prices are pretty high to be honest. Beers are the main things of course. It's got plenty of these in bottles and cans if getting these for later. There's also lots more on tap. A lot of these are from local breweries. There's also a few from other countries such as Germany. Big selection and prices are also big. It's about $10 a pint. Certainly would have gotten more if not for it being crazy. It's got limited food like $2 for bags of potato chips or pretzels. Also they have lots of community events. There's things like live music. For sure there's a lot to choose from. It's got a close relationship with the cafe next to it so you can go over there and get coffee and pastries. This is conveniently located across the street from the Metra station.

Prior to my visit, I've had their beers at shares and festivals. Lots of solid beers or had. When I was in town, they had a limited release which I came for.

I really like the music theme or motif they have going on here.

Indoors, the presence of a deejay made conversation a challenge, but a live singer/guitarist provided mellow background music for alfresco diners. The extensive list of beers on tap includes several selections brewed in-house. 4 oz. pours ($2.50) give hopheads plenty of latitude to create their own flight. On Thursdays, Red Barn drafts are $5. I enjoyed their Big Red Tractor IPA, a hearty thirst-quencher. Admittedly, the chow - heavy on American comfort foods, deep-fried or whatever - doesn't rival Michelin-starred eateries, but we enjoyed everything we ordered. For the health-conscious, the menu lists 7 entrée-size salads. Generous portions of food are served BBQ-shack style on paper-lined trays. We shared a fried green beans app (it was a bit heavy on the breading). Another Thursday deal that draws crowds is half-priced 16" pizzas. We weren't planning to order pizza, but how could we pass up their above-average tavern-style pizza with toppings for $14? Also earning enthusiastic thumbs-ups from our group were BBQ (pulled pork) quesadillas, various burger permutations including sliders, fish & chips, and a fried chicken sandwich. We waited long for our food to arrive, but our orders were accurate and everything was served at the right temperature.

I'd been meaning to try it for over a year but couldn't convince my companion who was frightened to try Korean pub food she couldn't pronounce and proteins from animal parts we don't usually eat. This time it was too late to go to the usual mediocre places in town. I was lucky! We shared the Korean Market-Style Whole Chicken and the banchan that accompanied. Portions were generous, food was very tasty, and the service was outstanding. Prices were competitive. I remember when the dining room was a lovely, high-end nuevo-Mexican restaurant that catered to families and older adults. Now it's geared toward young patrons who don't want to go to a nightclub but still want the entertainment of private karaoke rooms and/or consuming animal entrails with friends. So the dining room is noisy and cheap looking; my only complaint.

I personally do not love that in a restaurant setting since it can compete with the smell of the food. Beer was also good! Overall, the service was the highlight of our visit. While the food did not wow us, we still had a pleasant experience.

A friend and I went here on a Thursday and it was empty inside. Had to have been a party of 3 old dudes getting ready to leave. You could tell they were regulars. No greeting when you enter and the lady (who I would later learn was the manager), looked like she was on her last straw and nerve. Type of person to be very mean and rude but would say they're not, they're just direct. Mmmmh! Wasn't a clean table in the table and took forever to get a menu and water. When I asked about happy hour that I saw advertised she simply pointed to the menu and said these without recognizing it was the regular drink menu with the regular prices. I simply ordered the chicken tenders and sweet potato fries. She swore to heaven that their honey mustard was bomb. I don't think this lady knew her elbow from her wrist. The sauce was ehh. The food itself was good but again it was bar food so I didn't expect much. I wouldn't return or anything. Absolutely not.
