Brewery taproom and brewpubs in Chicago with outdoor seating | Eater Chicago

"Fans of stouts love Hubbard’s Cave, as the brewery doesn’t care if temperatures are sizzling, dark and heavy beers are always on tap. That’s not to say there aren’t refreshing fruited options, but no one will judge a customer if they want to sip something high ABV in the middle of a heatwave. The tented outdoor area, which overlooks suburban Chicago’s chief tourist attraction — the Leaning Tower YMCA — is perfect for a beer and some barbecue." - Ashok Selvam

Une Annee plans new brewery behind Niles’ Leaning Tower - Eater Chicago

"Une Annee Brewery, currently located in a strip mall behind the iconic Omega Restaurant & Bakery in Niles, plans to relocate to 6343 W. Gross Point Road in Niles. The new space, which could open as early as the summer, will feature a massive brewery with a taproom and a restaurant that includes a small kitchen for prepping smoked meats. The brewery is part of a larger plan to develop the area around the Leaning Tower of Pisa replica and YMCA. Une Annee specializes in Belgians, sours, and wild ales, and the new 27,000 square foot facility will allow them to increase production of barrel-aged beer." - Ashok Selvam

A super fun place for a group hangout or for chilling on the back patio. There is a ton of space both inside and outside here. They have a lot of selections of both beer and bbq food, and you can order from your table with the QR code, which is very handy.

Great place for beer and food. Glad I went early to beat out the crowd a bit. Recommend the brisket pizza if you’re undecided between the brisket offerings and pizza.

Review We used to love coming here but over the last few visits, we’ve observed a particular issue (not food or beer related!) continues to get worse. Tonight, we were excited to enjoy the weather in the outdoor area and have a chill evening. But my goodness, there were more children here than adults. At least 2 children’s birthday parties were going on. There were full tables of JUST children plus groups of kids running around the whole outdoor space. Okay, this is all fine, but what made the whole experience so unpleasant and pushed me to my breaking point was the unnecessary screaming that no parents were trying to curb. We only had one beer and got out of there. We left the place so agitated! It really sucked. This is a brewery/dining establishment, not an amusement park. I hope the people that run the place can find some way to ameliorate this situation but still remain family-friendly, as I don’t think I’ll be coming back until then. P.S. I like kids! But this was ridiculous. Oh also, we had a reservation but when we arrived they said someone took our table, so we ended up on a shared table out in the back. Not a big deal but just one more thing on top of all the rest.

Absolutely loved my time at this local brewery! I had a bit of a drive and am not much of a drinker in general - but they had a ton of non-alcoholic options to enjoy with your meal, as well as a couple of THC options! The other reviews can speak for their awesome variety of alcoholic beverages and flights! The atmosphere was calm as the location itself is very spacious inside. The staff was incredibly friendly, kind and patient when it came to checking on us and answering any of our questions! I absolutely loved being able to pay and order on my phone as you don’t have to worry about splitting the bill afterwards! They also had a list of local breweries they partner with to host beer 5ks - which I thought was adorable as they also help out other local businesses in the area! Definitely stop in to check it out if you haven’t yet!

Sadly disappointed. We were excited to try this place, but unfortunately it didn't turn out how we expected. The black pepper was way too overpowering for the brisket. The pasta salad added a cool touch, but had almost no seasoning. The ribs were tough and also had no seasoning....tasted like pure paprika. And the beers were underwhelming. We typically aren't too picky about bbq and beer, but this didn't hit the mark for us. There were lots of families with kids on Sunday afternoon.

Fun local brewery! They also serve tasty barbecue sandwiches like the Chimichurri Steak, Brisket, and the Cave Monster.

We had a great meal at Une Année Brewery. The food was solid all around, and the atmosphere was laid-back and fun. Burgers were flavorful and cooked well—juicy without being too messy, and the toppings were fresh and well balanced. The salad was a nice surprise—really fresh and a good size. It worked well as a lighter option alongside everything else. Ribs were the highlight. Super tender and full of flavor, with a smoky, slightly sweet rub. Definitely something we’d get again. Good beer selection too, and the staff was friendly. A great spot if you’re looking for a casual night with good food and drinks.

Hubbards Cave is awesome! Lots of beers on tap and good food. All the ordering is done through a QR code on your phone. Big outside area to eat with many picnic tables and tents. Ordered a bunch of different flights of beer. They have IPA flights, light beer flights, sour beer flights, Stout flights and more. Ordered the chicken sandwich, chicken wings, brisket sliders, french fries, cole slaw, and comes with pickles. I am a big sauce guy and love dipping my food in sauces. I loved seeing on the menu; how they had many different sauces which I ordered them all. I had a great time. If order 4 packs of beer; need to come up at the end to get your order.

Came here with family including three kids under 3. This place is definitely kid friendly meaning games for kids but also the vibe is meant for it. The waiters and staff are very understanding of it. It's so nice to see them be very accommodating of little ones and their needs. Food is good! I had the Chimichurri Skirt Steak Sandwich and it was very soft! Their beers are good too. They also have a couple of wine options if anyone is interested. Very good for families with little ones!

I had heard of Une Année from colleagues who extolled its praises. It's in an industrial park area, down from Costco/Target on Gross Point. There's parking (although narrow) and a large outdoor area with picnic tables. It was a cold and blustery day so we dined in at lunch (my friend made reservations). There was no need to make reservations; only one table was occupied. There's QR codes on the table which so flummoxed my dining companions that it took about 10 minutes until they waved the white flag and beckoned a server over. I just thought it was funny because all of them were asking the same questions. (Why didn't I have the problems? They were treating me to lunch. From what I could see it looked overly complicated). Anyway, once our orders were placed, the food came out right away. My pulled pork sandwich came with Cole slaw and a side of mac and cheese. I don't eat the bun but I found the pulled pork to be really salty. I couldn't finish it. The Mac and cheese was ok, but it was bland. My friends ordered brisket and burgers and seemed satisfied with their lunch. My friend enjoyed their beer. I had high expectations so I was a little letdown that my meal wasn't what I was looking for. However, I would come back, maybe after work, sit outside and try again.

This place is great! When trying a new brewery, you never quite know if it's going to be more like someone's garage or a fully thought out brewery restaurant. They have a great outdoor space away from the road behind the building. Very kid and dog friendly under a large tent. I believe they have events and bands play here. We came for more of a happy hour and enjoyed a few bites and new to us beers. Everything was brought out quickly, served with warm hospitality, and tasted great. Looking forward to a return trip soon.

08/30/24 - if you've ever been to the Niles Costco the front of Une Annee Brewery/Hubbards Cave is located @ 6343 Gross Point Road. It's da big grey building. I stopped by here yesterday for a late lunch. I parked in the front and tried getting in only to realize the entry is all the way in the back of the building. The first thing you see in the back is an enormous outdoor patio area w/tables covers by a large canopy/tent. As you walk towards the back there's a sign that tells you to check in at the bar. Upon entering one of the first thing that catches your eye are the huge stainless steel beer brewing tanks. Besides the seating outside there is a huge dining area inside w//UPC on the table that serve as the menu. They have a huge assortment of different beers all brewed in their micro brewery. On the wall @ the check in bar there is a menu of 24 different beers all brewed in Une Annee Brewery. I also had a Tap 4 - 160z LIME PILS Our Refreshing PILS (German Pilsner) with Lime refreshing w/a limey taste Une Année, meaning "One Year" in French, began with a seasonal rotation of annual Belgian beers, which have since become weekly and bi-weekly releases. An Independent Craft Brewery, was born, in 2013, on the near west side of Chicago on Hubbard Street (near Hubbard's Cave), with the quest of making fine Belgian inspired ales for all beer lovers. I ordered a Grilled chimmichurri steak sandwich that was a very tender 8oz grilled inside skirt steak (arrechera) marinated and topped with chimichurri, placed on a soft sub roll with aioli, baby green and red lettuce, and grilled onions. All steaks are grilled to medium. Seasoned Frites or choice of side Included. This sandwich was delicious nice & tender. The entire wait staff is phenomenal. At least 4 or 5 people came by and asked me how I was, how the food was and if they could get me anything else. Overall it was a great dining experience. The food, the beer & staff made for a great meal in a very cool space w/the big brewing tanks of beers & the wood barrels of beer. What turned out to be a curiosity as I drive by everytime I go to Costco coming in from the back end off of Gross Point Road will make me come back for more.

Such a perfect spot for a snack or lunch/dinner outdoors. The bbq brisket/burnt ends are amazing. The sweet potato side order was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Excellent variety of beers. We ate at a picnic table under a number of tarps angled to keep harsh sun rays out but allow cool summer breezes in. Beautiful, modern indoor tap room also offers searing. Blown away by the hospitality of the servers and team. Love that this place is kid and dog friendly. Excellent service, great tunes and amazing food overall.

I cannot say anything bad about this place. I love this place. Service is exceptional. They have little QR codes to scan, you order that way. Very quick in bringing out the drinks and food. Even though it may seem like you won't interact with the staff much, they stick around to talk to you and see how you're doing. They are constantly walking around asking if you need help picking out a beer. Food, we got the steak sandwich. It was SO GOOD. So juicy. The sauce on top really brings out the steak flavors. Highly recommend getting this. They have an inside and a patio which is perfect for the summer weather. We went on a Sunday and they had a live band playing which was great. Can't wait to be back and play more games on their patio!

Honestly, the food was a solid 3. Not bad, not great-solid middle ground -the beers and the service pushed it to a 4. Everything is really neat here! When you enter the parking lot, park more towards the rear as that is where the entrance is. It's practically almost impossible to see driving down gross point rd in any direction but once you find it, it's a neat find ! Everything is also pretty easy and accessible. You're seated upon entrance and you order everything through the QR code at your table. Make sure you bring your phone otherwise you're SOL! Brisket was tasty. Pass on the pork burnt ends. Decent sides like Mac and cheese and coleslaw. Bri(y?)an and the other server who turned out to be one of the owners were both really friendly and hilarious. Definitely made the experience better!

Food is delicious- black bean burger hit a home run! And their fries are done to a perfect crispiness. Drinks are flowing and the bubble machine outside was a hit with all the little kids playing while their parents had a fun time hanging out with their friends. And as a non-kid person, I was really impressed how they all kinda grouped together and didn't take over the whole outside area but added a lovely background energy that made this place feel like a picnic in the park. Very well hidden gem of a place.

Fridays are for hanging at the Cave We decided not to gatekeep this place anymore it's honestly just so amazing it needs your attention!! We actually live down the street from here, and we are totally walking over during the summer days, BUT Hubbard's Cave is such a fun place to bring everyone!! There's beer that they brew in house, there's bbq food, they even have games you can spend time playing with your friends, they are dog friendly, they have an outside patio, live music, bingo nights, and more! Also you order FROM YOUR TABLE ON YOUR PHONE! Yeah we said it, no waiters to take your order, nobody bothering you if you don't like to be pestered, just you and your phone and you can order as much as you like and you pay and tip on your phone! THE FOOD LITERALLYYYY MELTS in your ! It's a MUST GO TO!

Wow. Ive been here many times but never for the food so any previous reviews are on Untappd. We swung through after a run and had an INCREDIBLE sausage special with fries for like $14. Great food and an incredible portion for the price. The space itself is massive with a great beer garden for warmer temps as well!

Always an amazing experience here. Unexpected rolled into a live music night, where a few amazing beer choices and delicious chili and pulled pork over sweet potatoes paired perfectly. Must try spot anytime of the year but especially in the summer with the patio.

This review is going to pain me and I may change it later. But I have to go with my gut. There was an issue. I visited Une Annee for the first time yesterday as part of the Illinois Brewery series of 5K runs. Typically you run a 5K sponsored by a local brewery and get a free beer afterwards. While drinking my beer on this day, I started looking around the bar and restaurant, and loved what I saw. The beer menu is off the hook! They have many different types of beer on tap as well as canned beer varieties. Yesterday they had some really unique varieties as well. A very spicy chocolatey stout was so good, I'm considering when I will make my next trip and hope they still have more. But that's not the issue. The bar staff and wait staff are so very pleasant and friendly! They dealt with my first-time-ness with no issues and everyone seemed very approachable and easy to talk with. But that's not the problem. The food menu is really nice too. Salads and meat and vegan options. Easy to order from your table with a QR code. They have tables inside and outside and you can reserve tables for a large party and you can bring well behaved kids and pets. All wonderful so far. But THATS not the issue. So what's the issue? Welll... for those who know me, I'm a sucker for a lobster roll. Lobster prices are insane this year, and theirs is pretty pricey. But that's to be expected. And they offer a delicious-looking lobster roll. Even has an explanation on their virtual menu that they're not spiking the lobster prices just because they can. Which is nice. And, it's described on the menu with all this unnecessary stuff on it (which is superfluous to me because all I want is buttered bread and lobster), and that's even okay. And, it's offered on what's called a "brioche New England roll". Now I'm not sure what that is. Maybe a fancy way of saying "millennial hot dog bun". Okay, I'm down for the lobster roll. Ordered to go. WELL HERE COMES THE PROBLEM! My lobster roll was served to me on a hamburger bun. AN EFFING HAMBURGER BUN!! As I'm typing this I still don't believe it. A lobster roll on a hamburger bun? It insulted my sensibilities. I was truly offended. Had I not gotten the order to go and saw it halfway home, I would have never accepted it. That's maybe the weirdest thing I've seen. And for a lobster roll connoisseur like me, it's unforgivable. I didn't want a lobster sandwich or a lobster burger. Now I'm not a lunatic (really I'm not) and I did eat it, and it was okay, but you just can't serve a lobster roll masqueraded as a Lob Mac. I don't want to even talk about it anymore. Please Une Annee - for the love of all that is Larry the Lobster, don't do this anymore. PLEASE!!

Went to another brewery this weekend. (Do you think we like beer)? Anywhere. It's a nice place. It's in an industrial area. Which alot are now adays. But dont let that spoil that for you. It is family. Dog friendly. It has a nice back garden area. Under open air tent sheet. Lots of bench sitting. And smaller tables. A good sized inside. With a bar top and open brewery area. Pay for food and drink on your phone using a bar scan to order. The staff are friendly and so helpful. The food is good. I had the burnt end pork tips. BEST i have ever eaten. Hubby had a shrimp bo boy. Packed with shrimp. Has for the beer. I was so happy. I like stouts. And had 4 to choose from. Unusual in the summer. I believe there were 24 beers to try. There are a few of them in cans and bottles to purchase to go. Highly recommend this brewery. We will definitely go back.

Garage looking type of brewery in Niles in some industrial type of building. It seems there's a lot of these, but this is among the good ones. Une Annee is one of the reasons to go to this pretty boring looking suburb. Hit up the bar for some cold ones plus on site made food. The prices aren't bad for craft beers and kitchens. A pretty impressive looking building. It's big and can fit hundreds. This is like a massive garage with a bar and a kitchen. First though it's a brewery. It's about $6 a pint. The one I liked the most was the Twist Of Wit. It's a wheat beer with Cara Cara oranges, coriander, and Meyer lemon. Tasted fruity but not too much. Also we got some food, which was actually good for a brewery. Vegan options are limited but there's a few. It's $6 for the Veggie Chili. This is vegan without the sour cream sauce. Also there's barbecue. There's pork belly and that kind of stuff. Beers are the best things to get here. It also has food from an on site kitchen. There's meaty options like pork and there's chili for vegetarians.

Great Brewery Experience. Une Annee Brewery is a fantastic find for any beer lover visiting Chicago. The brewery has a spacious and comfortable seating area both inside and outside, and there's ample parking available in the back. The food is excellent, but the real star of the show is the beer. The selection is varied and all of the beers we tried were delicious. What really sets Une Annee Brewery apart is the exceptional customer service. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and went out of their way to make recommendations and ensure that our experience was top-notch. Overall, I highly recommend Une Annee Brewery and would definitely return on my next visit to the area.

When you first pull up to Une Année Brewery, you'll notice it's in a very odd and unusual location. It's a warehouse made into a brewery, surrounded by other warehouses. But once you walk up to the main entrance, you'll probably immediately fall in love with it's ambiance: an outdoor beer garden, plenty of seating indoors, and good music constantly playing in the background. But don't let the fun atmosphere give you high hopes for the food. Although I did like the beans, ribs, and the barbecue sauce, the other food items we ordered fell short with both its flavor and seasoning. The drinks included in the Le Grand Monde Flight were overwhelmingly sour and reminded me a lot of kombucha. Overall, not only are the portions small for a typical barbecue place, but it's really overpriced for the average food you get.

Une Annee/Hubbard's Cave is a great brewery idea, combining two unique types of beer concepts, while the food here is something to bring you back on its own! Your usual layout in a modern industrial setting-high open joist ceilings next to the production area with a short bar and several tables and benches throughout. The burnt ends are really tasty, while the loaded nachos were awesome (see photo)! Plenty of other food options looked good and between the two brew styles, a couple dozen options that would intrigue any casual or devoted craft beer fan alike.

Terrific setting in warm weather: either sit outside under the tents (picnic style tables) or inside (regular tables and chairs). With the whole wall of garage doors open, sitting inside is kind of the best of both worlds for our family of four. You order from your phone, which was annoying, but I got over it. The runners are quite friendly and items come out as they are ready. I tried a couple different beers and took two more home; all were very good. The food was so satisfying: giant soft pretzel with beer cheese and brisket burnt ends transported me to a very happy place. Even the pickles and cole slaw were tasty. My kids devoured an entire half-pound cheeseburger and a hot dog (respectively) in the blink of an eye and gave their enthusiastic thumbs up. This is my favorite kind of "once in a while" food. I hope to return in the spring; obviously, I need to try their other meats and beers!

Great place to have a casual meal with friends or family. Not sure if you need a reservation but we made one for a Friday night just in case. Sat at a round table with cushy comfy chairs. You scan a QR code on the table, order what you want and keep your tab open. Our friends did the same on their own phone so at the end there was no awkward; how much do we each owe? situation. I wanted a beer flight but had no idea what to order so I waved down someone by the bar. I told him I usually like Blue moon, Stella, and coronas so he told me to order the "light flight" So I did and I loved all three choices. For my meal I had the Lobster Roll with a side of fries. My husband got the Chimichurri Arrenchera Sandwich and we split a large Mac and Cheese. My lobster Roll was packed with meat. So good and I was glad I got it. My hubby loved his sandwich as well. Neither of us were fans of the Mac and Cheese and I thought the seasoned fries could have been better. I will definitely come back to this hidden gem. I'm looking forward to sitting outside when the weather gets nicer.

Nice beers and wide range of selections. The place is enormous and I saw a few parties going on here from adult birthdays to family gatherings. We sat by the bar. There's music gigs and their anniversary menu is good. We ordered chicken wings and a pull pork sandwich with fries.

Beers well-crafted with a diverse styles. Food was excellent! The QR order/delivery system has some bugs to be worked out, but the friendly and enthusiastic staff help. If thirsty, go to the bar and order direct. Food came out fast and really was excellent! Can't wait to go back again.

This place is stellar. My friend and I came in for an early happy hour on a Tuesday. The place has a clean open look, housed in a garage in a warehouse area of Niles. Happy hour is from 2:30-5:30 (I suspect this is for every weekday, but not entirely sure) and there were a variety of specials on tap for around $4. - I had a smooth tasting Pilsner. From a food perspective, it's your standard bar food but everything was done well and brought out fresh. We split a plate of the nachos (HH Price $11) and some fries (HH Price $6) - both were great! Service is easy - just scan the QR code and order directly from your phone. Highly recommend!

Oh hell yeah. It's like being little and seeing the underwear ads in the Sears catalog - that kinda thrill, titillation. This is not a tourist trap, not a foo-foo joint. It's probably the worlds best beer at the source and it is coupled with a no bullshit BBQ pairing. Folks are kind and engaged. Live music - a slide guitar player that just knocked the ball out of the park with traditional Segovia flamenco. No flash, no attitude, just put fucking execution. Why do I have to travel thousands of miles for such basic things done well?

Their line up of beers alone would make me come back. The first time I came here, I also tried their food. I promised myself to come back after that. The next time I was here, my friends and I participated in Trivia Night (Monday nights) which was a lot of fun. Each table had a QR Code which was used for browsing the menu, placing your order, and paying the bill. For a couple of my friends who were slightly challenged in navigating the whole process of using the cellphone and QR code, a paper menu and old school paying the tab would be helpful as well. Once we submitted our orders, the beers came immediately and the food did not take too long to be served. I tried the pale ale and a Fresh Hazy IPA. I liked them both very much. Foodwise, these were the dishes that I've tried: CAVE MONSTER AND FRITES- Order this! You will not regret it. It will be messy but they will give you a lot of napkins for this dish. PULLED PORK OVER MAC- Outstanding. I did not use the bbq sauce on the pulled pork and it was still delicious on its own. The macaroni was gooey cheesy. GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST SANDWICH-This was just ok, the chicken was a little dry. The fries were good though. PULLED PORK OVER SMOKED SWEET POTATO - I loved the smokiness of the sweet potato and the pulled pork was tender and tasty. Service was excellent both times I've been here. Every single team member was friendly, helpful, and efficient. I enjoyed the indoor seating because it was still cold the time I came but I am looking forward to enjoying their huge outdoor space too. Trivia Nights on Mondays, Live music on Sundays and Wednesdays, plus they have Happy Hour M,W,F. Cheers! I shall return.

I came here on a Saturday morning to do a little work. It was moderately busy but I was seated right away. I ordered a beer flight plus a Kölsch, and a burger and fries. I've been here once before; last time I got the brisket sandwich. The beers were delicious, fresh, and unique. I didn't love everything I tried, but I definitely at least liked it. The environment is cute and fun. I think aside from the beer, the other highlight are the servers. Everyone is so friendly, attentive, and lovely. The food continues to be honestly unimpressive. The food is dry and overcooked. It's solidly mediocre. But the beer and staff are good enough to tolerate dry food.

Great experience on a rainy weeknight. Signs all around say check in at the bar, but I am thinking this is just preferred when it's crowded. I was told I could sit anywhere. Qr code on table to order from directly. It was nice because could see descriptions of menu and not have to walk over to the bar to place order. Since it was happy hour, I ordered a flight. There were a few choices, but I went with the hoppy one. Delicious! I then ordered a sour that was pretty good too. For food, I ordered pulled pork that came inside of a sweet potato. The potato had a nice smokey flavor to it. I ordered a cheddar biscuit that was awesome too. They had an outdoor patio that looked nice and I'm sure it gets packed when the weather cooperates. Lots of beer choices - ipas, sours, stouts, and more! For non-alcoholic options they had sodas and coffee as well. I would recommend!

Came here for the first time on a Saturday with a friend who's been here many times before. She absolutely raves about it. It is a bit challenging to find so luckily my friend knew exactly where it was as well as what parking was applicable for this place. It seems like parking is limited in the parking lot that we were in which is adjacent to the space itself but there may be more parking around that I am not aware of. This place was built with Covid in mind which was fantastic. There's an outdoor space and even the indoor space is very airy and open. menus are all done through the QR code no real human interaction needed other than when drinks and food are brought to the table. The food choices are a southern barbecue influence that meets bar and or pub food. The prices are OK the menu choices are a little limited and the portions are OK as well. What threw me off was definitely the order of the biscuit which literally was one biscuit. The alcohol choices are incredible with some thing for everybody. I would definitely come back here and try out more and perhaps other items on the menu were a far bit more tasty.

Such a great atmosphere and experience plus great food. Loved the boardgames available and the many different types of things on the TVs. We enjoyed several of the drinks including IPAs, lager, selzters (blackberry agave), and the freshly made lemonade. We also loved the brisket nachos and cheddar biscuit. After a while we ordered entrees. The pulled pork sandwich was so delicious. I also paired it with the smoked sweet potato which was PACKED with flavor. You could tell they smoked it and it was so good. I also tried a few fries and burnt ends and those also were flavorful and delicious.

Great BBQ, IPA, and stout! I love their burnt ends and brisket! Hopsurd and coffee & cakes were so good! I am not a sour fan, but I like their passion fruit! I love their layout. Very laidback and welcoming! Go to their live music nights! Perfect for a family outing! I enjoyed every moment of it!

Food is overpriced imo. Brisket was dry. Portions small just like your selection of sides. Beers are okay but not pushing any new ground. Ambiance is meh. This place is adequate.

Great place to have a casual meal with friends or family. I decided to have lunch at this place and the BBQ was absolutely delicious. The burgers stood out as my favorite due to their juicy and flavorful nature. The brisket burger and Mac and cheese were also satisfyingly good. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Nice ambiance on the canopied patio. We will definitely be back.

This place is amazingly rad. As a beer nerd, I'm sad it took me so long to make it here as often as I make it to Chicago. Both Hubbards Cave and Une Annee beers have been on my radar for a minute (meaning I've had a few), so I was well aware they put out good stuff. On a solo trip to Chicago this weekend, I'm so glad day 2 my first stop was here. The staff is incredible, the space is amazing, and the beers are phenomenal. WAY too many tap handles and to options to choose from. So, my one negative is I spent WAY too much money. But that's a good thing. Wether you are local and have never been , or in from out of town like me.... DEFINITELY make this a stop if you're looking for amazing beer. They have solid food too.

Great vibe. Great customer service. Food portions were on the smaller side but the choice of beers more than made up for it. Wasn't able to take advantage of the outdoor patio but it looked large and welcoming. Will be back.

Solid food, great beer and fun atmosphere. The outside area when it's nice out is really nice and kid friendly.

Some of the most unique tasting beers! A good selection to choose from. My favorite was the chocolate chile beer. Large space, good for families. Good menu/food options as well. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly

Was just ok. The best part was the beer flight. Beers were delicious. Now on to the food. Burnt ends - flavor was good, but very greasy. Coleslaw - not enough acid, wasn't cold and refreshing. It was a bummer. Macaroni and cheese - noodles were cooked perfectly, sauce was just ok. This was probably the best of the food. Elotes - horrible, tasted like bad canned corn. I'm sad. I wanted to love this place. And no one checked in once the food was dropped. As it turns out we didn't get out second beer flight. We fixed it at the counter but a two bite check would have been appreciated. I would consider takeout mac n cheese but wouldn't eat her again. Would definitely come for beers though.

Incredible wings and even better shot sandwich selection. The brewery (Hubbard Cave is the same place) has terrific tasting beer. There is an outside dinning area and plenty of room inside. The wings and their homemade sauce is next level. Come early, they stop making them later in the day. Great, and knowledgeable staff.

A great community brewery that I found out that was extremely close to my house. Brisket Chili was delicious and very hearty. Pork Belly Burnt Ends were delectable and great flavor. Live music available and makes the experience much better. This is a great place I will be coming to in the future and onward. Great beers and great food what else cane you ask for from a brewery. Very fun very delicious!

I was visiting a friend in Chicago and we made the trek out to Une Annee/Hubbards Cave. It's a beautiful brewery with a large outside and inside area. Outside was a little weird, there were a ton of tables open but we weren't allowed to sit outside because they were all reserved. They have QR codes at the table that you order from, food and drinks and then they bring it over to you. We got the sandwich special and two of us shared it, I'm glad we opted to because it was huge! It was very good too, I wish I could remember what it was called. As for beer, we each got a flight and shared. I did not like that the flights were predetermined, it was frustrating that I couldn't choose my own. I'm glad that we got to visit and try some beers that we can't normally get at home (Florida!)

Great location for me. In an industrial part of Niles. But they have a GREAT beer garden and decent food.

The offbeat location - a back road lined with industries - heightened our anticipation of a unique experience. The entrance is actually located at the rear of the building. Signs directed us to check in at the bar. No reservation? It was early, so there was no problem. A congenial host explained how their cashless contactless ordering system works. Once seated, you scan a QR code on the table to open a ToastTab page. You browse the menu, order your meal, and pay your check through this site. This worked for me, but what do you do if no one in your party has a smartphone? Service was rudimentary at best. Runners ferried food and beverages from the bar and kitchen to our table. Period. They didn't check back to see if we needed anything else. We did a couple times, and it took some waving to flag down roaming runners. Personally, after 15 months of pandemic lockdown, I crave more interaction with servers. A remarkable variety of beers is offered onsite. I ordered a "Tap 15 - 16oz Fresh IIPA V51 (Hazy IIPA)." Wow. This juicy thirst-quencher deserves some sort of award. Hot dang, the meaty & smoky dry-rub BBQ ribs are comparable to Smoque's but come off the bone easier. These were accompanied by thick, tangy BBQ sauce, a bite of pucker-worthy vinegary slaw, and house-made pickles. The Missus and I added some sides. 5 stars for the amazingly good smoked sweet potato, which we haven't seen anywhere else; 4 stars for the mac & cheese, very good but not the best; and 3 stars for the corn bread, bread-pudding-ish consistency and a bit too savory. We had hoped to sample a house-made dessert, but at present the only desserts on the menu are grocery store-style ice cream bars. The crowd was youthful and it was fun to soak in the mod steampunk ambience. A large patio beckons, but we chose to avoid the blazing sun and dine indoors in view of the gleaming brew tanks.

Very odd location, not a very good selection of beers, but I did find a wheat beer that I liked. The pretzels and cheese weee good, the cheeseburgers were good, but the fries were cold by the time we got them. Overall, a cute location, if you like beers and if you're ok with cold food.

Great selection of beer and food.....it seems to be a combination of 2 Different types of Breweries in one...the entrance was a little confusing at first since it's in the back of the building. I did miss the personal contact with a person ... you scan the code on the table and it brings up the food and drink menu...place your order a runner will bring out the food and a server brings the drinks.... You also pay this way....
