Open 11am or earlier
The following are open 11am or earlier on weekdays.
Attached to the Cobra Lounge. Lots of events including Bikes and Burlesque in the warmers months. Sponsor a three day motorcycle oriented fest each summer. In an area that includes several other breweries. Haven't tried the food but I have seen people eating it and they looked happy! Nice pub food menu. |  |
really dislike posting big chains but in this case Binny's does an amazing job trying to keep everything in inventory. |  |
Bottle shop with a small pub built in. Very good selection. Dog and child friendly |  |
Large rooftop deck makes this an option in these times. I have read that a brewer from Three Floyds has taken over the responsibilities. Will report back. Have not tried the food but on a recent bicycle ride stopped in and they were nice enough to let me sample many of their beers. In wine and beer reviews you see ingredients and flavors that we never taste. Bixi's beers showcased each and every flavor and ingredient they advertised in the beer. If they said cardamom, you tasted it. I will make it a point to go back and do some serious tasting! |  |
Liquor store in a strip mall with an unassuming look that carries one of the best selections of craft beers in Chicago and elsewhere. I am talking about a selection even the big guys cannot match. Worth a visit! |  |
Nice space with food and beer, affiliated with Corridor |  |
Women owned beer and cider pub. Interesting mix of cider and beer cocktails. People rave about the food and the cider is in many of the breweries I visit. |  |
Loads of taps with an ever changing menu. Food is edible but beer list is great. Lots of local beers with a good smattering of harder to find not so local ones. Lots of sports on teevees. Walking distance from downtown chicago. If you are in town for a convention or just want to go one place to check out Chicago's beer scene this could be a choice. |  |
1st brewpub in Chicago now big beer but still good. |  |
Sadly the original home of Half Acre Brewery has closed down after 13 years and all the operations have be moved to the Balmoral facility a few miles north. The good news is that Hop Butcher Brewery will be taking over the space and opening their first brick and mortar facility. |  |
Grateful Dead themed sandwich shop with a great collection of beers. Located in Lincoln Square, right on the square. Very child friendly. Great Food! |  |
Travel themed pub. One of the first to have a giant selection of domestic and foreign beers going back to the 90's, that would be 1990's. A cafe in the morning. Alcohol served after 11am. Use to have free food on tuesdays each week focusing on a different country. Worth the journey. |  |
Brewpub by Horse Thief on far south side of Chicago with good collection of beer and foods. |  |
Pizza and Beer Brewpub and does well at both. (started by a member of Cheap Trick) |  |

Brewpub with great food and one of Chicago's favorite spots. The also have a spot at 3340 N Kedzie Ave. which is a large comfy beer hall with indoor bike parking and a full saelection of their beers! |  |
Very good beer selection / OK food. Lots of youth in a large space. Good for before and after a cubs game as it is right down the street. |  |
