Local brewery with taproom, guided tours, and craft beer
"Climb the stairs to Revolution Brewing’s taproom, a taproom that doesn’t hide the fact that they do, indeed, make beer. The large bar is inviting, and the American flag in the back has become an Instagram-friendly spot. The tappings are unique — you won’t easily find the beer selection they offer at another bar." - Ashok Selvam
"The closing of Rev Brewing was one of the notable closures in Chicago's dining scene in 2024." - Ashok Selvam
"Located at 3340 N. Kedzie Avenue, the taproom opened in 2012 and won’t be impacted by the Logan Square closure; it was one of the first bars in the city able to serve beer made on premises. The taproom is going strong, and Deth says they may host more food pop-ups and food trucks there to make up for the brewpub’s loss, have secured a city permit to install solar panels on the building, and hope to invest more in the venue as the company consolidates." - Ashok Selvam
"Revolution is a massive taproom with some of our favorite beer in Chicago. It’s a great place to hunker down for hours during the winter, but since they don’t serve any food, it’s important to plan ahead for sustenance. Luckily, the brewery is a five-minute walk from Honey Butter Fried Chicken, which means you can improve on one of the world’s best combinations (fried chicken and beer) by adding honey and butter to the mix." - josh barnett
"Revolution is the state’s largest independent craft brewer, and it recently purchased a new Avondale brewery with a cavernous taproom up a short flight of stairs. The space is ideal for large gatherings and the bar usually has a special draft offering — say a variant of Deth’s Tar, the brewery’s barrel-aged stout. There’s the occasional pop-up, but delivery is the best bet for food." - Ashok Selvam
