"It’s not really a holiday party without at least the option of alcohol. And at Benny Boy Brewery, you have it within arms reach no matter where you’re hanging out. Equal parts brewery, cider house, and beer garden, this Lincoln Heights spot does it all. Plus, there’s a giant patio filled with wooden benches and tree stumps that feels like a grown-up overnight camp, nightly food pop-ups, and fire pits to huddle around while ignoring the coworker who tried to get you fired in July. Capacity: Tables and fire pits can be reserved for 10-30 people. Full cider house and beer garden buyouts available for 50-150+. " - brant cox, nikko duren
