So I have never gone in despite waking past at least once a week. Yesterday, someone invited me for a beer at Poor Phil's, which was closed at the time, so they changed the location to The Beer Shop, not realizing my dog issue. I was feeling brave, so I went in! Thankfully, no allergic reaction. There was only one small dog there while I was there, about 30 minutes, and the dog only walked by once, while leashed. A few tables with kids playing board games. A few folks at the bar. I really dug the vibe, and if it was pet-free, I'd totally come here more often! The bartender was super duper friendly, really cool. I got a cider on tap, and there were non-alcohol options as well, even saw a canned Diet Coke- my favorite!! I realize I'm not their ideal customer, with my dog challenges. If you have a dog, this looks to be the perfect spot for you! I wish I could visit again, but I think I'll pass as dogs barking indoors make me startle, cry, and flee. But I had a good experience yesterday.

I have enjoyed Casa Humilde beer at the "by the ounce" District Brew Yards, so last weekend I was…read moreexcited to finally visit the stand-alone Casa Humilde location in suburban Forest Park. Our party of four happened to visit during their 1-year Anniversary celebration. Their outdoor patio was bumpin' with a live DJ as we were savoring pitchers of their award-winning beer - Maizal (Mexican style lager) and Pinata (hazy pineapple IPA). They were not serving the regular food menu that day, but thanks to their cool-looking "train engine" grill they were serving tasty carne asada platters. The staff was very outgoing throughout our visit and should be proud of the cerveceria.

All of the beer on the flight was tasty. My fave was the pinata that had pinneapple in it. For food, I went with the chicken quesadilla dinner. The chicken was only ok, but overall the food was super tasty. The rice and beans were very flavorful. The beans were more of a pinto bean soup. Parking is a little strange. A couple of spots in front, more across the street. They turned their parking lot into a patio. However, very close to public transit.

The bar had everything come in waves so everything was fresh and hot and not just sitting in a hotel pan over some sterno. Food was delicious!! Split the pot, raffle prizes, great beer (maybe brew more than 3 beers that aren't IPAs? That's just one mans opinion) every seat in the house was taken, but it wasn't overcrowded at all somehow, props to the layout. Never had to wait for the bathroom or at the bar to get a drink, really solid operation. We sat in the bar area, but they have a really cool living room vibe kinda area in a room off of the bar area (fireplace, 60s/70s furniture) that I could definitely see coming back to for a date night or post-dinner drink. Great spot, will be back!

Checked out this chill LaGrange Park brewery. Hop District is one of the few interesting places to…read morego to in this overlooked suburb. They always have a crowd and that's expected because there's not many other great places besides this. A lot of beers to choose from. There's a pretty great variety and they always rotate. Beers are the main thing of course. It's got a pretty surprising amount to choose from. There's a lot of these on tap. More in cans. Pretty great variety. A lot are IPAs but there's a few others. It's about $8 a pint. Kind of a lot but they make smaller batches of these. Best one we had of these was the Hazy In The Name Of. This is a New England Hazy IPA, a classic style. Made with citrone and nectaron hops. There's notes of citrus, lime, passionfruit, and peach. Has a few things to munch on. It's about $7 for the Knotty Pretzels. Comes in a big bag. These are a great combination and big enough for sharing. For sure there's lots of great beers. It's actually open daily which is especially rare for a brewery to be honest. They sometimes have food trucks.

The slider appetizer here is to die for. The quality of the slider portions and the flavor is…read moreamazing. I get it without the bacon because I don't eat pork, but it is amazing still. They have Italian beef eggrolls that are one in 1 million. The outer dough is always crispy and the Italian beef inside is always flavorful and tender. It comes with a side of aus ju and you top it off with a little Tabasco and it is a 10 out of 10. The wings here are not the skimpy meatless wings. They are thiiick! The ranch is solid and they don't charge extra for it if you need more. Great for those ranch "drinkers" lol. That's ask have a Mangonaso cocktail that's perfect. My wife is picky when it comes to mixed drinks and it was perfect and she couldn't stop ordering them. This place is great for groups or even a date night. They have trivia at night and other events that are really cool and can be found on their website. It's a nice local old school/new school bar that brings a city vibe to a quiet suburb. They even have an outdoor patio section that is amazing during the summer and fall time. They have crème brûlée that was done perfectly, which is hard to find in the Berwyn area.

I think if it was charred & maybe a little less lime juice it might be a more satisfying bite. In its current form, i couldn't taste the avocado at all. I knocked off all the corn & tried the avocados that way; they were just ripe & creamy. Bread is great quality. Eggs were perfectly cooked. Husband got the American breakfast. All components were cooked & seasoned well, & i liked the added peppers & spinach to the breakfast potatoes; nice touch. $4.30 up charge for subbing out impossible patty for breakfast meat.

There's no noisy music or TVs, making you pay more attention to the beers and other drink options. A small place but it still has lots of beers to choose from. It's a pretty nice looking place and there's not a whole lot of room. This place usually isn't that busy though. Mostly because it's not as well known. We came in and tried some beers and snacks. It's about $7 for a pint. That's not bad for a small craft brewery like this. Best one was the Baltic Porter. This had coffee and dark chocolate aromas, with fig and raisin notes, and it was quite strong. A heavy beer at 9.8% ABV. There's bar snacks like cashews at $4 a bag or like that. Come here if looking for a brewery that puts focus on beers and not games. If looking for a brewery where the main thing is beers, this is it. There's only a few snacks but you can bring food in or get it delivered or whatever.

It's the perfect hangover burger: simple, juicy, and served with just a side of chips. Sometimes less is more, and they nail it.

Whether you're grabbing a late-night bite or recovering the next day, this place always hits the spot.

BEWARE! Michelle the 'bartender' should not work here or serve the public. I can no longer support…read morea business that allows their staff to mistreat their customers and make false claims against them. The service here has gone downhill during two changes of ownership. My friends and I have stayed away from here due to rude staff, riff raff, fights, etc. in the last several years. We decided to give them a try a week ago as we were assured by another patron that it was under new ownership. The new owners supposedly cleaned house and removed all the previous troublesome staff. Everything seemed to have improved from our visit here a week ago, but that's because Michelle was not there. We had zero issues with the staff that day, we were served without issue, and overall we thought the renovations were an improvement. The prices have gone up but they have added premium beverages to their selection. Unfortunately, Michelle was not included in the staff overhaul, and mistreated my friend during a recent visit. It is a real shame that The Cordial Inn continues to have problem bartenders, because this place *used* to be a gem. It's now a far cry from cordial. The interior renovations are not worth it for any of us to tolerate disrespectful behavior from bar staff. I am beyond offended that the new owners allow the bar staff to treat customers badly. There are plenty of other choices in the area, and my choice is to spend my money where the staff appreciate my money and patronage.
