KevinSeptember 8, 2012Just tried the hammer of the Gods beer, even better than the Big Head Pale Ale. IPA lovers will love this! Plus the 8.5% is an added bonus ;-P
Dan CarlascioDecember 11, 2014Tried the healthy route of hummus w veggies and the turkey burger. Both were good portions, solid and filling. Not a lot of healthy options but you wont starve if you stay on the light side.
Steve ‘Pudgy’ De RoseOctober 10, 2012This was 1st brewpub to open in Lake County, IL. Brewmaster Greg Browne puts out consistent beers in a spectrum of styles. Amber Ale 12-oz. cans now in stores. Venue moving across Church St. in 2013.- KevinSeptember 8, 2012Big head pale ale is a great local brew. Hoppy enough for the IPA lovers and mild/fruity enough for the adventurer wanting to try something new!
Cherri Pierangeli KasdorfOctober 21, 2022Nice outdoor eating when weather permits. Nice menu, good food and friendly staff. Live music, too!
I wonder when they will get their full menu back since they moved to the new location. The ribs were really good previously.
Pineapple Express DIPA & Smoked Brisket are delicious! The Irish egg rolls are a treat as well.- Lisa ClineMay 6, 2012The Beer nuggets with cheese is a little pillow of heaven :) love this place. I come here all the time to see bands Trash Martini Rules :)
You can get the beer in 1/6 barrels for home use! Great deal!
Jimmy HarndenAugust 20, 2014Mickey's patty melt might be the best thing I've ever had in my mouth (that's what she said). Also delicious beers.
Great place! Great food. Great beer! Get the beer nuggets!!
Coren McLeodJuly 27, 2014The new place is wonderful. I can't wait till they get more of their beers on tap. ..
Tony jordanDecember 13, 2011If you like blue moon or 312 you have to try their 847 suburban wheat, an amazingly good brew
Sylvia LimaSeptember 5, 2011A great place to hang out and have a great beer, hamburger with friends.
Hotel IndigoAugust 14, 2013This cozy and popular pub features handcrafted ales and lagers that have won their brewers a case full of trophies.
Great beer, try the milk stout. Owner (s) extremely cool. Can't wait for the new location!
Colin WilliamsSeptember 9, 2013Their Cali burger changed from their rice patty to something boxed. Beware
SS ChristopherFebruary 6, 2015Overworked and miserable waitstaff. Long wait times on seating, ordering, service and payment.
- Must try Santa's Magic when in season! Bring home a Growler. Buffalo Burger & Fried Pickles are great!
Marlee GoffApril 13, 2015Hey Mickey Finn's Brewery, you should join Freebie! The benefits are amazing for both you and me. Read more
Jim BingleyDecember 28, 2011Stay away from this joint. They stuck us out in a makeshift tent without heat on a 34 degree night. Leaving now.
