    This was my first visit to Alter Brewing's St. Charles location, and I was surprised to learn they…read morehave multiple locations throughout the Chicagoland area. I met up with friends, including two who were visiting from Alabama, and we all had a great experience. My friends ordered the brisket nachos and the walleye, and both dishes came in generous portions--they couldn't even finish their meals! I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. The only thing I would have changed is that my meal came with beans but not rice. I probably should have asked if rice could be added. The indoor atmosphere was warm, inviting, and a perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. Between the friendly service, generous portions, and tasty food, I'd definitely return and look forward to trying more of the menu.

We requested to be sat at the riverside window and it was absolutely no problem. The service was very quick and pleasant. We started with an order of cheese curds which were awesome (a little hot for my wife but perfect for me). We split a patty melt. I am a bit of a snob when it comes to patty melts, so when I say it was the best one I've had since Woolworth, that should tell you everything you need to know. My daughter got the kids grilled cheese. When I say grilled cheese, this was an absolutely beautiful sandwich that was put together with care. My daughter is very picky and wound up gobbling down this enormous sandwich, which surprised me because she eats like a bird. The beer there is top notch. I'm very opinionated when it comes to craft beer. Everything I've had there I have really enjoyed. I highly recommend this place. We had an app, kids meal, split an adult meal and 4 beers for $90. Well worth it because I have no issues paying for quality over quality. Do not miss this place.

It's clean including the bathrooms. And the service was friendly and got me in and out without issue. They have several beers on tap. My first choice was an ipa but they were out off all of their IPA's on the day I went. I ordered a pineapple upside down cake sour that was gluten free instead. And I wasn't disappointed. It wasn't really sour but had a nice sweetness and it really tasted like pineapple upside down cake. I definitely recommend trying it. For lunch I went with The Candied Chick-ciabatta bun, grilled chicken, candied bacon, tomato, smoked Gouda, and ranch. They have several side options that don't have an up charge so I went with the chips and queso. The sandwich was delish and exactly what I was looking for. The chicken was actually grilled and you could tell that they actually cook the food and use real ingredients and food. The bacon was delicious and I loved the combo. I equally loved the chips and queso. The chips are also handmade. I saw someone with nacho and these chips would be killer in them because they definitely wouldn't be getting soggy. Highly recommend this sandwich and side. I loved this spot and I'm so happy that I stopped. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely stop in.

We showed up at 12 after our games. They maybe had 2 tables of people. We asked for 36 seats outside. They had double that available. They told us we could only order drinks and could not order food for 30 min. We thought that was weird since it was noon but sat down anyway. 1 hour later we finally were able to order food and it is 2pm and we still haven't received our food. Several large groups came after us and have received food. Poor form. Not impressed. Our server is really nice...otherwise this place get la 1 star. The owner needs to remind their manager that having the place full is a good thing, and they need to staff it appropriately for a tournament weekend.

    Heavy metal riffage in a ice cold glass…read more To round out a day of exploring the Quad Cities, Emily and I dropped into Wake Brewing to have a beer and a few rounds of Uno and a few other card games to relax before the drive. I didn't look into the place before we stopped here so I assumed it was either surfer-themed or was attached to a coffeehouse. Little did we know it was a heavy metal/groove metal nanobrewery. I thrive on heavy metal so perfect for me, not so much for Emily. There were about 10 beers on tap to pick from so I got the Midlife Crisis (fitting as I near 40) and Emily got the Green Mind. The place was filled with what felt like the regulars so we took a spot over in a corner to drink one last beer before the road and play some card games in my 'pub kit' as seen in the cover photo above. My pub kit is a simple plastic container I got from Walmart that is full of quick and easy games to play at breweries, coffeehouses, or wherever you are. It just happens to be plastered in stickers from my travels. Anywho, back to the topic at hand. I really liked Wake Brewing. I have been into IPAs lately and tried a West Coast one for the first time. It was tasty but since I've been drinking hazy or tropical ones, it didn't quite hit like I am used to but that's on me and not the beer itself. Emily really liked her gose beer. I was eyeing the other IPAs on the menu but with a 2 hour drive back, I didn't want to delay us getting home before too late. While we sat there, some really nice groove metal was playing. It reminded me of Tool but less technical and more foot tapping. Shazam said it was King Buffalo and I'll have to check them out once life settles down a bit. If the heavy metal scene scares you, don't be intimidated. Most metal heads are big nerds and are some of the chillest people around. We didn't stick around too long but I wish we had. I loved the entire vibe of this place and would've liked to try some of their other beers. They do have some merch for sell, so you know Emily and I got all their stickers for this trip. If luck finds us back here again, I will def get a shirt. Anything to support heavy metal (and beer). As a side note, do know that trying to park here had me miss the parking lot's few entrances quite a few times. So, if it's your first time, be vigilant of the weird layout and multiple entrances. Rock on!

The IPA I had was solid, and the barrel aged barleywine I bought to take home was outstanding. Staff are a little gruff, but no more so than some places. Not jerks, just folks tired of dealing with idiots, and they don't know yet if you are an idiot. The smashburger food truck screwed up my order so was only able to eat half the food I ordered, but not really Wake's fault. The vide was nice, I loved the industrial patio. If I were in town longer, I would have made another visit. Worth stopping by if you are a brewery person!

It gets crowded because people around here know good beer it seems. Along with the beers is also a food menu. The prices are higher than the grubby bars in town, but for sure it matches the higher quality. Better get prepared for how hard it is to park here. It's got a parking lot but it's full often. This was crazy the last time we came here on a weekend. People around here know it's better beer than the crap they otherwise have. You may have to park on a street. Beers are pricier than average but they make smaller batches. It's about $8 a pint. Best of the ones we had was the Highland Hairy. This is a Belgian IPA. A pretty good amount of food. There's a ton of pizzas. Most food choices are meaty. There's also wings. A lot of big and messy items. It's about $7 for the Garden Salad. A pretty standard one with croutons. There's also salads covered in bacon, buffalo chicken, and other heavy stuff. Got to be one of the places to go if you're around here. It's really busy at times, and just park wherever if you can't get a spot. They're located on the east side of town, and closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
