11 Best Craft Breweries near Buffalo Grove

“Great beer (the only thing you really need), and it definitely has the low-key vibe you seek. While it is a small space, they make it work and have every board game you can think of. I even take my kids occasionally since they can play with games. Fun spot, check it out.“

“First time at Tonality. Early dinner. Molly was our server and had 2 excellent reco's. For me it was the Gnocchi which was a plate cleaner. The combo of gnocchi with mushroom and asparagus was smart. The sauce was lemony and tasted a bit like vinegar which I liked. My wife had the pork Schnitzel with spatzel. The breading was dark and tasty. The portion was huge. She loved it. I had a tasty Amber Ale with dinner. Cool brewery atmosphere in an open space. Highly recommend.“

“I stopped in about a year ago to try the licensed Affy Tapple flavored beer they made. (Tastes like a caramel apple. ) It was great. I was in the area this weekend to try a few in-house drafts. The Polish Pilsner is about 5% ABV. It was worthy of buying a 4 pack for home. They offer a lot of great brews and Zach was serving that day. Super helpful & friendly.“

“This is definitely a hidden gem in a strip mall in Mundalein. Welcoming and knowledgeable host. Excellent beers. I really enjoyed the English Ale and Bavarian Wheat I tried. I bought a branded howler and will certainly be returning for regular refills.“

“Stopped in with my teenager. They had kids friendly drinks that she loved. Ordered pizza it was great. And yes the craft beer is excellent. Everything it sampled tasted was fantastic. If you are in the area and love craft beer, this is a great place to stop in and enjoy a beer, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“This place is HOME! I live out of state and everytime I’m back to visit the fam for the holidays, my best friend and I make a point to stop in an have a few pints. The service is always stellar, the vibe is always fun and the beer is always delicious! Can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! The new renovations just add to an already-above-and-beyond experience! <3 thank you, Tighthead!“

“I spent the day out with my two dogs hiking, adventuring, playing and I was STARVING. Chris at District Brew Yards went above and beyond to accommodate me as a solo patron with two (muddy) dogs. I can’t say how impressed I was with the service provided, food, and atmosphere. 100% I’ll be back.“

The rustic yet elegant venue, combined with friendly staff, ensures a seamless experience for couples. With spacious indoor and outdoor areas, there are plenty of opportunities for capturing beautiful moments. It's an ideal choice for couples seeking a laid-back and distinctive wedding venue.“

“This place has never missed the mark with service in my experience, and I frequent at least once a month. The drinks are always cold, fresh, and reasonablypriced. The food is delicious and fresh as well... my favorites are the smoked wings, cheese curds, beer nuggets, and chicken pesto sandwich. The staff is uber friendly and it felt great seeing many of them take the time to greet me (while I was on crutches) after a couple months hiatus (since I was injured). The Live Entertainment on weekends is always a huge plus as well! SIX SPEED TRANNY rocked the house yesterday“

“Drove over an hour here because of the rave review my friend gave us to try the food here. Our server Maria was so friendly and welcoming.We started off with the cheese curds and the morning after is a must try appetizer. The truffle burger was delish and the salmon with the fingerling potaoes were amazzzing. Ace guava and frozen tundra are the beers we tried and they also did not disappoint.“

“Kind staff food was ok but their tiramisu was amazing! I’m such a lightweight so I don’t drink often, but the tiramisu made me go to this brewery every week.You need to wait a long time when they’re busy because they don't have enough servers but I could feel that they were doing their best.“
