Sunshine+metal+robots=Metro's Tap Room. Really fantastic outdoor beer patio on the banks of the Chicago River! Even in the winter, it's a beautiful spot for a beer. BYOF, so come for a liter of delicious german-style lager and bring your favorite carryout!

My property is close (~1mi) to a number of breweries in the North Center neighborhood off of Irving Park Road and Ravenswood Avenue such as Begyle Brewery and Dovetail. However, my favorite craft beer made in Chicago is Metropolitan Brewing. Their brewery is located right on the Chicago River and gives you a beautiful view while tasting away. It's worth the trip a little farther west to the Avondale neighborhood.

Great brewery with outdoor patio space right on the water. Connected to a boat rental if you want to take a boat ride on the Chicago River.

In all honesty, Metropolitan is not our personal favorite brewery. However, if you appreciate more traditional German style brews it may score higher for you. The main reason we still zip over to this brewery every few weeks is that the facility is on the banks of the Chicago River, surrounded by trees, and has a special seclusion that you don't get at many facilities in the heart of the city.
