Amazing bbq offered in the same building as truly unique and scrumptious beers and cocktails?! And live music?! Sign me up. I’ve been here quite a few times since finding this gem and I recommend visiting frequently for mental health purposes <3

Always enjoy myself at Nightshades. Lots of space. Brings in great food vendors. Usually entertainment and an assortment of games to play.

Neat brewery with classic Ray Bradbury style atmosphere. Lots of different brews so I did a flight of 6 and all were good. Service by the owner was great. They have lots of seating and a small separate cafe inside to cater your hunger.

friendly bartender, Mike, immediately made me feel very welcome, and one off-duty staff member and one other patron made pleasant conversation; very welcoming atmosphere. and strong drinks for a good price

I hate that I found such a cool brewery but so far from home. We were in town for a few days, and i stumbled a upon this place. Awesome Google find. The beers were great and I enjoyed chatting with the owners and even some of the regulars. I may just have to find an excuse to return but it's a long drive from colorado

5+++????Well, ?it is a very eclectic establishment. It's got three different blended businesses. The liquor, the brewing, and the food! All good! Nightshade and Darks is an establishment that can remind you of some of the small city breweries, some of the ethnic type of breweries, and of course some of the best food around.This is more of what you would see maybe in Chicago! It should be a destination. Unfortunately, Waukegan can't figure out how to promote the city and figures that a casino is going to be the end-all be-all answer.Having a good time, spending your money on food, spending your money on some drinks, and NOT feeding the one arm bandit is going to enhance the city and not the politicians pockets!Awesome place, clean, spacious, plenty of board games, a place of community!Jose Cantu from "Up In Smoke" is the pit master! He knows what he's doing.
This was such a great experience from start to finish! No matter who goes with you, there is a drink option for them! They have handcrafted beer, wine and spirits. Plus the bbq --- HEAVENLY. I recommend the platter to try all the different meats and then the nachos. I never thought of putting pepper jelly on nachos but it blew me away. The staff was so nice and helpful. They took time to figure out what you would like best. Casual location with plenty of seats, which we had more time so we could use the game wall. We will be coming back!

Beer was ok. Food was ok. Nothing to rave about. Place had plenty of seating between tables outside right on the street, tables inside and some couches. Tried four of the beers. Rosemarys baby was the best. Interesting good flavor. Others were just ok. Ordered food from the bbq truck. Had nachos and bbq plate with pork and brisket. Nachos were by far the best. Pork and brisket were dry. Mexican street corn was good. Would not go out of my way to return but was in the area and wanted to give it a try.
