We always enjoy chatting with Jeremy--he takes the time to break down our craft selections and guide us toward the best options for our tastes. The entire staff is incredibly knowledgeable about the beer and other offerings. My wife isn't usually a beer drinker, but Jeremy went out of his way to craft a pistachio cocktail that she absolutely loved. Experiences like that are what keep us coming back.

Pretty okay prices for the quality. There's a lot of flavors and variety. Can get some on tap, or get bottles and cans to go. It's certainly a place to find local products. There's not a whole lot of room inside, but there's enough for a bar and you can taste some on site. Has many things from local breweries. It's about $7 a pint. Last time here got something from Hop Butcher For The World. Just one of the many local breweries. Then we took a few packs. For sure a good place to sample the local beers. It's got some on tap so you can find out right then if they're okay. They're mostly worth getting some to take home it seems.

The main stuff is the beers of course, along with some basic food offerings like pretzels and snacks. Big place with a lot of room for groups. It's a lot bigger than it looks to be honest. There's just not a patio. All of it's inside because there's just no room for it. This is in a part of a large building with a few warehouses. It's about $8 a pint. Kind of a lot but these are locally made craft beers though. We had a few including the Big Beautiful Wheat. It's actually a Bavarian style Hefeweizen. There's also a kitchen where they make a few things. It's about $9 for shareable items. The Pretzel Sticks are pretty standard and pair well with a lot. Great place for locally made beers. It's located on 186th Street. The menu also features grub like paninis and other things.

Very clean dining room! Great live music . Bathrooms were very clean! Above par for a bar and/or distillery.

Was hoping for fresh cooked warm kettle chips None the less will be back with friends

There's also food like smash burgers which is cool looking. Basic looking strip mall with this in the middle of it. It's got a bar area which is where we had a sit. There's also a few tables. A kitchen is in the back. They send food through a window. Beers are the main thing to get of course. It's about $7 a pint. Best we tried was the Bounced Czech. This is a Czech style Pilsner. It's about $5 to get appetizers. We got the Brussels Sprouts. About the healthiest thing you can get. There's a few offerings at lunch including a kids menu. For sure it's rare for a brewery. It's open daily even later. There's also enough room for parties.

Negative zeros.... Last time for sure past Saturday. DONE!!!! Flies still flying around your face…read more Mens restroom was a hazmat scene at best. There was some kind of backup issue in the past 12 hours and the back end of the place smelled like an outhouse. The area near mens room was blocked off for a private event and I dont even know how those poor people could eat in that area with the smell. On the patio people brought in 2 great dane dogs that were the size of small horses and how is that normal for outside dining anywhere, and people were leaving. Who has to watch dogs shitting by the next table where people are eating? Where are the owners? The same managers walk around clueless. Dont worry, the health dept. will find you out for sure. Good luck.

The fish tacos do not come with any kind of side. They were $15.00 for 3. Not very big. The burger came with fries. Don't recall about the bratwurst. We requested water and when we wanted another round of drinks it took awhile. Server was not in sight to handle request. She was pleasant just not accessible. Food was just ok. Not sure I will go back. At least not for lunch. Restaurant is nice inside. Maybe there is more help on the weekends or evenings.

A pretty hopping ass atmosphere. Those that like loud music will certainly like this. Coming here we missed it a few times at first. It's located on the edge of an industrial park. This is a pretty strange location it seems. About the only reason to be in this area actually. Kind of hard to see amongst all the warehouses. It's about $7 a pint. Pretty similar to typical craft beer prices though. Best we had of these was the Straight Blade. This is a West Coast IPA that's bitter with citrus and floral notes. As for the food it's mostly Mexican. It's $12 for the Lunch Special. There's a choice and we got tacos. Choose proteins including options for plant based. We got these with Beyond meat, and the faux al pastor. Basically they make meaty substitutes out of mushrooms. These come with beans and rice. A lot more on the menu. There's also brunch on Sundays with omelettes and other stuff. Has more than just beers of course. It's also got choices of burritos, tacos, and tortas. There's lots of things for vegans and vegetarians.

It seems they recently expanded into an adjacent space to offer private parties, have monthly events, or offer additional seating. The inside is rather open but all tables and chairs are stool height which isn't ideal for families with kids. Most of the family groups had to sit outside which had more limited seating. I tried a couple of their seltzer flavors and definitely liked peach the most. It did end up tasting very syrup like. I also tasted some of my families beers which were good not great. This isn't one of our go-to breweries in the area but it is certainly worth visiting to see if it is your vibe!

Moya, the host, was incredibly sweet and so apologetic about the wait for a table--which honestly flew by because you could tell how well the place was being run. Once we sat down, our server Luke took amazing care of us. He was personable, attentive, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. The food... WOW. Truly phenomenal. I had the Nashville wrap and my brother had the meatloaf. Everything was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes and green beans that came with it were just as delicious--comfort food done right. What really stood out was how much the team cared--Kelly, the GM, even came by to check in and make sure everything was perfect, which says so much about the level of service here. Despite how busy it was, service never skipped a beat. That's rare. Also, the patio is such a vibe! I already can't wait to come back in the summer and hang out there. If you're anywhere near New Lenox, this place is a must-visit. Amazing food, incredible staff, and such a great atmosphere. This place is really something special!
