At first, I thought it was on the pricier side, but after a few visits, I don't mind paying a bit more for the nicer ambiance. Happy hour runs weekdays from 3-5 pm with $5 beers and some food specials. The burgers are always a solid choice, and they've got a great draft list with options you don't usually see in stores. I'm especially a fan of their pales and IPAs. 'Til next time, cheers!

Their beer has that tang you'd expect from a sour ale without the molar-wrenching pain that makes drinking more than a few ounces difficult. They nail the flavor and it's always clean and smooth. Some of the best wild ales made. Their taproom is small, but really nice inside with seating at the bar and around the taproom that is more geared towards small parties. They have their full menu on draft and bottled bears available with a few guest beers. I think it's Sunday that they have discounts on their bottled beers and it's a great opportunity to take advantage of!

This review is based on many components…read more 1. Building itself. Maybe I have been watching too much bar rescue. From the outside the building doesn't have an inviting feel. If I didn't know better, I would have driven right through the parking lot and away. 2. They are known for saison and farm style beer. It pretty much tastes like wine. If this is not your style, then you will likely not enjoy it. My boyfriend was one of those people. I however enjoyed 4 out of the 6 we tried. 3. Price. For my flight with tip I paid about $25. 4. Staff we encountered was great. 5. Hours. I looked them up in the past but could never tell if they were open or not. Give them a try if you are in downtown Lombard and they are open!

Two Hound Red is a nice, roomy, and chill brew pub in downtown Glen Ellyn.  The building apparently…read moreused to house a long time Schmid's Pharmacy and has a big, woody barn feel to it with solid wood tables throughout.  It's bright and airy towards the open front but darkish in the rear near the open kitchen.   Importantly to my pals and I, they also have a nice, big, and diverse beer selection and some good pub food.   I had my usual burger and beer dinner for this catchup session and for our usual beer geek party of 3.   We learned all pints are $5 all night on Thursdays, yippee, and they start conducting a trivia game at 7pm that appeared to draw more patrons in (it also got annoyingly a bit loud).  We started with pretzels ($9) and cheese curds ($13).  The pretzel slices weren't very fresh and probably the only slight disappointment to the evening.  The cheese curds were quite nice and delicious.  I had their delicious mushroom swiss burger with tater tots ($17).  One pal had the same and another had their Old Fashion burger and we all liked them.  It was stated to be a 6 oz burger but looked more like 8 oz, yum!  I also tried 3 of their IPA's: - Hazy Hound New England IPA, 6.3% ABV - Exponential Power IPA, 7.5% ABV - Pale Horse IPA, 7.2% ABV I really liked the Hazy Hound, thought their popular Exponential Power was decent, but I didn't particularly like the Pale Horse.   Overall, still a mighty fine beer menu here and I wouldn't mind a second try of their beer list.  What my pals drank is on the itemized bill photo for the record and we all enjoyed this outing and venue.   Our server was Eline M and she was knowledgeable and attentive to us loiterers. They have a small private parking lot but there is also plenty of easy street parking out front.   The big place wasn't particularly busy until close to 7pm trivial game time.  Overall, I'll go with 4.50 rounded up to 5 stars particularly for their nice $5 per pint Thursday promo.

We have been to Phase 3 : Elmhurst several times and we love it!…read more The first time we visited, it was just for beers. The beers were excellent, and the food looked and smelled so good that we vowed to come back! We've been back twice now and loved it each time! You can't go wrong with their beers! Their flagships are solid and they always have a healthy number of experimental brews. Best of all the worlds! This time we both got IPAS and loved them all: Trail Trip, West Coast Pixel, and Swells! Trail Trip was my favorite because I prefer non-hazy. For dinner I got the double-dipped fried chicken sandwich with a side of fries. YUM! Bursting with flavor and deliciousness! The spicy gochujang sauce is divine! And super filling! My husband did the OG Burger, Fries, and 10 oz beer for $15 Monday/Tuesday deal. He loved the food, drink, and the deal! The space is so clean, open, and inviting. The front dinning area is spacious enough with plenty of seating and the bar, but there is also a fantastic outdoor space. The servers will all friendly, helpful, and professional. Things can move a little slowly, but it is worth the wait! On busy weekend nights, they do have online reservations, so that can be a good way to secure a spot! Next time we are in Elmhurst, we will definitely be back. We love Phase 3!

The prices are not bad at all considering how delicious everything was. Come here instead of going out to the overhyped and over priced commercialized restaurants in Oak Brook.. You definitely get more bang for your buck at this place. Can't wait to go back!

On this coldish Wednesday winter evening, it wasn't as busy and boisterous as our previous visits, and that was just fine for our usual catchup party of 3.  Sam was our fine and attentive server and she adequately took care of the whole dining room on this night. Arriving at 5:30pm, we took advantage of Happy Hour and had 6 beers by 6pm for $5 each.  We also had a cheese curds appetizer for $10 (discounted from regular $12). I had my usual 3 beers for our catchup session, namely: - Moreover hazy IPA, 6.5% ABV - Mango Double Marbles Imperial IPA, 8.0% ABV - Appetizer hazy IPA, 5.5% ABV For food, I had their chicken tikka masala platter for $22.  My colleagues had a high steak sandwich with salad ($20), and an Italian Beef with fries ($18).  All were delicious.  There is now a 3% credit card fee.  Overall, still one of the best Chicagoland brewpubs around.

Happy New Year 2026! My first review of this year. Cheers!…read more Church Street is a spacious, but intimate feeling brewery with a relaxed vibe, tucked away in an Industrial area of Itasca. The on-site parking lot is quite small, but other business lots and street parking is available nearby, especially during events. I tried a sample of their light pilsner and purchased a 12 ounce prickly pear sour. It had a unique flavor to it and wasn't too tart or sour, as I find some to be. I would like to return and try the cranberry sour and German, dry pilsner. Perhaps after "Dry January!" (Hello Mocktails). I did not order any food but I do plan to return and would like to try some of their menu items. I enjoyed sitting at the bar with others and our server was delightful. I have also had their wheat beers which are tasty. Inside the brewery there is a cozy feel and the singing cook in the kitchen was fun to listen to, as he had a nice voice. Check out their fun fan merch for sale too. Happy "Brew Year" all!
