Stopped here after hiking Indiana Dunes, the beer was fabulous!! With the distillery next-door I think the brewery is set up perfectly to do great things!! The biggest surprise was the homemade chicken tenders! The breading was so crispy and the chicken perfectly juicy on the inside. Also, the fries were super good!! Don’t just stop in for beers, get a bite to eat!! It’s worth the visit! I can’t wait to stop in again!

Beer is good. Food is good. I wish they would be more accommodating to the cycling community. We wanted a shady place to park our bikes safely. The bike rack was in direct hot midday sun. We went to park the bikes on the shady patio wall and immediately were asked to remove them. Not one human was on the patio. I just wish they would help us out more after 50 miles in a saddle, fully loaded I think we should get a little leeway on the rules if no one is using the patio.

18th Street Brewery lived up to the hype. Great beers, excellent pub food, fun atmosphere, and friendly staff. Can’t wait to go back.

I love this brewery. It’s a great place in the neighborhood to get good beer and good food. The service is also phenomenal. Staff is always friendly and accommodating, always letting you sample if you’re unsure of what to order. Their burger, bourbon, beer deal is also hard to beat. I try to bring everyone I know here to support the business.

Holy guacamole! Food is really on point! Pork belly appetizer , thank me later! Beers top notch go against any brewery in the country! Great vibes atmosphere! Great art, music!

Had a great meal and great beers yesterday. The pork belly bites were amazing! Jerry was our bartender, he was fantastic! If you don't like metal/hardcore music or might not be your jam, but you'll be missing out, especially missing out on Jerry!Cheers!

Great drinks, wonderful time! Highly recommend both sides; the Distillery side & Brewery Side. I really liked the Distillery side... looked soo nice!

Delicious Beer! I just drank your Lucifer in a Haze man it is something else! Beautiful colour and like i said DELICIOUS!Oh and a happy New year!

I like this place and the beer is good but the menu is underwhelming. Also positive is the staff was super friendly and helpful and I love the atmosphere. Beer garden looks cool too but we were there in December.As I already said the menu is pretty small. We were there around open, 11 am or so, and they were out of the Buffalo chicken sandwich, the Cuban, and anything with pork. We are living in some crazy, challenging times so I'm sure there is a good reason they were out of that stuff but that makes it tough with an already small menu. We were basically left to decide between a salad, burgers, grill cheese and cheese quesadillas. Also fyi, pop comes in cans.The appetizers were good, small, but good. The curds were better than the pretzel in my opinion.Also, I loved my burger, adding the bacon and egg is is for sure the right way thing to do. My oldest didn't like the sauce on the burger but he's a teenager, what does he know. If you have an eater like that you may want to order without the sauce. The tots and fries were both pretty good.My youngers had the cheese quesadilla and I thought that was honestly pretty good and good size as well.Favorite beer hands down was Here comes the Reaper, but I also thought the Bait n Switch, and Vanilla Stout were very good. Definitely get yourself a flight or two, we'll worth it.

I wish they had a cocktail and dessert menu. It would have been a much more complete meal.. We got a bunch of apps and loved the pork belly bites! I would definitely go back for those alone!
