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.

She was right when she said that this place was really sweet. This place is so cool if you like Halloween and spooky things while having a beer. This is the place to be. The staff is very friendly and informative, knowing their products in and out. No matter what type of beer you like, they have something that will accommodate your taste buds. This place would be so cool to have a hangout with with a bunch of friends. Which is what I plan to do in the future. The beer I tried and at my visit was so good. I wish I had time for another. If you're looking for a place to get away for the day or put together a big gathering with family or friends.This place is recommended. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, decorated with wonderful halloween decor and illustrations.

That said, the service was solid and the overall vibe was good. I'd still go back again!

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

This…read morebrewery is the one that Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee acquired, and you can tell if you're familiar with Lakefront when it comes to the signage and how the tour is run. 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!

The Brewers tied in Cincinnati. The US men's national team handling Bosnia. Basically every screen in the place was must-watch TV and the bartender -- understandably distracted, perhaps -- decided that was the ideal moment to restock straws and cut fruit. We waited. In the heat. Our server was genuinely good when he materialized, which wasn't as often as we'd have liked. Food: the cheese curds earned their reputation. The Mekts burger was fine -- solid, no complaints. The Reuben rolls, however, arrived looking exactly like what they were: a Sysco product plated with minimal ceremony. Hard pass next time. As for the name -- if you're picturing a dock, pilings, maybe a gull or two -- walk outside and squint hard past the road and the rooftops. Big lake's out there somewhere. Technically. Maybe a 3.2 night in a 4.3 restaurant. I'd go back on a slow Tuesday in October.

The staff is friendly and decor is nicer than average as well -- with a large selection of drink at fairly reasonable prices. The only minor downsides are that the bar is basically in front of the door, so when there's a line to get a drink, this does disrupt traffic flow a bit. For the size of the facility, the amount of restroom facilities seems a bit low, but this wasn't an issue during my visit despite the entire main dining room being full. Finally, the setup of the main dining room can get quite noisy when full, so patrons may need to move to the bar area or outside to easily have a conversation. This is probably due to the setup of the space, without any way to really disperse or absorb sound. Also be aware that there is no food served here, but they often have food trucks stopping by. There are a good number of nearby options to pickup from within 3 to 8 minutes though. Overall, solid spot to visit for a drink and hangout with friends. They also have events like live music, bingo, and trivia on a regular basis as well.

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.
