This was a beacon of light in the area. Met a friend halfway from her house to mine in Pontiac for…read moresome girl time. Looking for things to do and this popped up. We decided to give it a try. It was a nice place to relax and have wine and food. There was enough parking in front and I believe some on the side. Chairs and tables and sofas were available to sit at. There was also another seating area on the side should you not want to be on the music side. Wine is available for purchase and there is a wine club if live in the area. There was music on this particular evening, acoustic rock. It was two men with guitars and you can request music via a scan code. Great idea! They were good and had a lot of songs to choose from. We went for the flight, nachos and a flatbread pizza. The flight was good as we were able to determine what glass/bottle we wanted with our food. The nachos may have been good but unfortunately they arrived cold. I assume as they were sitting waiting for the pizza. The pizza was good and hot. We had the meat pizza with the sauce. It was a little sweet for me, so maybe they were going for a bbq twist on the tomato sauce but still decent. The people at the counter were very nice and answered any questions.

They offer unique experiences that can't be matched. We stopped in Pontiac on our drive up Route 66 and walked around the beautiful courthouse on the day after Christmas, we encountered 4 people total, incredible. We almost walked by without stopping but something caught my eye so we stepped in. Beautiful, well maintained and tastefully renovated shop. Great selection of wine of all varieties and we enjoyed a nice conversation with the owner who suggested a red and white, which we bought. Highly recommended.

Found out about this local brewery in Chenoa. It happens to be just one part of a larger operation…read more OB's Cervezaria is one of this building's vendors. Has kind of limited hours. This makes sense because they only brew a few of their own beers and keep it simple. Cool place that's fun for the entire family. It's got something to please everyone it seems. The worst thing is the limited hours though. Brewery is only open in the evenings mostly and other times is often closed. This also isn't much of a brewery as you pour everything yourself. It's one of those places that gives you a card. Then you insert it into the slots to get the beers pouring. It's about 50 cents or so an ounce. The only one from this brewery was the Fresh Hope, which is a blonde ale that's crisp and smooth. Food is lacking. There's another vendor that has pizza. Good place as far as around here for entertainment. It's one of the vendors and is one of the best places around for groups and parties. The brewery is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Pizza was good, the chicken chunks were decent. What gave it four stars was the fact that you could go up to a tap, you get this white card before beforehand like a library card and they swipe your debit/credit card and then you walk around and put the white card up and tap your beer. The interesting thing about it was after you close your tap it puts your name on and how many ounces of beer you poured. I was really impressed considering I'm out in the middle of nowhere and they have better technology than what's around my house. Pretty impressive. They had a blueberry wheat beer which came from Keg Grove that the spouse & I enjoyed. After your done, you take ur white card, go to cashier and close out ur tab. The wedding reception was fun and I would go back . Bathrooms were reasonably clean and parking was good.

Emancipation is a brewery not a lot of people have heard of because it's not close to anything of course. Has a surprising amount of variety on tap and in cans to go. They may not have a whole lot but everything is full of flavor and quenches one's thirst. Even with it being a smaller brewery it still has quite a lot. It's got several of their own beers on tap along with a few others. There's also more cans in a refrigerator. Has the basics along with a few interesting ones. More than just the IPAs and the usual. It's about $7 a pint. The Farmer's Favorite is the IPA and is a pretty good medium one that's crisp and smooth. Has a few things to snack on here. It's about $3 for the Krack Mix. Basically like Chex Mix but it's made locally. They also will let you bring in stuff. Great place that's pretty hard to find the first time going here. It's located on N. 2500 East Rd. a few miles north of Fairbury surrounded by corn fields pretty much. They're closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
