It gets pretty busy, but there's plenty of outdoor seating in the patio, so it's okay. Also has plenty of cocktails if not wanting any beers. There's also entertainment such as live music. Among the most popular places to go in town, because you can't get better beers. It's really got a couple locations: the taphouse on Sheridan and the beer garden located in North Point Marina. The taphouse is open in winter, and the beer garden is open in summer. It's about $7 a pint. Many styles are on tap. Last time I had the Speed Czech. This is a lager, and it was crisp and smooth. Has many pretty good beers. It has no food except snacks like pretzels, but you can bring in something from one of the restaurants around here. There's live events listed on the website for music, trivia, and other things.

They even had live music when we were there. They have a decent selection of brews where you can probably find something that you're going to like, including some unique things like sour beers.

We also ordered wings with two sauces, and those hit the spot. Nice and meaty. For sliders, we sampled the brisket, fried chicken, and hamburger. These were a bit underwhelming....the fried chicken slider was pretty dry and the others were just okay. Definitely room for improvement there. That said, the service was solid and the overall vibe was good. I'd still go back again!

Unfortunately no one in our party of two drinks beer but there were alternatives like wine and mixed drinks that we both enjoyed.

They have so many seating options, bar seating, tables, and couches. Lots of game options ! Their menus is a QR code and they have a large selection of beers. We ordered at the bar and also tried their cheese curds. They do have a weekly cheese curd special, but we opted for the original. My husband ordered a flight and enjoyed and there were some unique options. The Key Lime Sour was unique and the Slime Time Sour. The bartenders were very friendly ! When in the Kenosha area we will return. FYI - very cool bathroom wallpaper

We knew it would be a good place when we came in at 230 pm on a Friday and it was already pretty hopping. We grabbed a drink and settled on a couch to play one of the many games they had available. We were about to head out when one of the staff asked if we wanted to go on the tour for free since it was their customer appreciation day and we said definitely. And all I can say is you should definitely go on the tour if you have a chance! The tour was awesome and I loved all the history it covered, both about the building, location, and beer. A full pour of beer was included halfway through, and you got another beer at the end as well as some additional swag. The beer itself was very tasty and they have a huge variety to suit everyone's taste. From sours to ales to stouts they've got everything. We didn't give their food a try but I can safely say when we go back we definitely will!

Black Lung is one of the best hangouts in Round Lake Beach, away from the beach of course. Has quite a few beers on tap as well as meads. The prices are pretty okay on most things. Came in here recently and we got a few beers. It's about $7 a pint. There's stronger ones that are more expensive but still not that much though. Best one among what I tried was the Cymatics. It's a maltshake IPA. This is supposed to taste malty. Amazingly it has zero lactose. The other one that was a favorite was the Galaxy 503, an IPA that's not too hoppy and has a sweet taste. Also they have mead and smoothies if you want something besides beer. The beer is good but there's a lot more. Has a pretty cool atmosphere. It only has beer and mead so there's no food menu. There sometimes will be food trucks on weekends.
