Reviews for 18th Street Brewery in Gary, IN
Nice neighborhood feel, excellent craft brews and spirits. We stopped by after hiking the Miller dunes trails - wonderful... service and soundtrack by bartender / vinyl aficionado Steve, great burgers by delightful owner / chef team Virgil and Renee whocame out to check on everyone?s food and we felt privileged to meet such kind people. There?s a lot of space a separate coolroom that could also accommodate private events. We?ll be back! Read more
What a surprise this place was! We needed to stop and stretch our legs and eat some food and decided to stop here. The owner was... super nice and very helpful. They don't serve food anymore, but they have menus of nearby places so you can order and bring itinto their establishment. We walked down a couple buildings to order tacos and brought them back to have drinks and try out someof their products. They're very high quality and their cocktails were delicious too. It was crowded around lunchtime on a Fridayafternoon and there's plenty of seating. We look forward to going back! Read more
The Angelic Eli has to be one of the best cocktails I have ever had. Coming from someone who doesn?t like the taste of many... mixed drinks. I hope this stays on the menu as a usual because I can?t get enough of it. Read more
Excellent selection of beers - especially enjoyed their creative and very tasty! The bartender was also friendly & knowledgeable... about the beers and area. Highly recommend stopping in - and taking some to go! Read more
Came to the Chicago area for a bachelor party and passed by this brewery so we stopped for a drink. Many drinks later, I was... beyond impressed. Every beer was incredible, often with a large variety you will find some tasting the same or similar, but eachwas unique, full bodied and flavorful. The IPAs were pleasing and palatable with the perfect amount of bite. The stouts weresweet and bold, but not too heavy. After sampling several beers the conversation turned to the liquor and here is where I mustsay I was impressed. The whiskey was good, the rum was great, and the gin was the most floral and unique I have ever had. Kudosto Steve for being our guide and playing some awesome music and walking us through the taps.

Steve was an amazing bartender. Very knowledgeable, great conversation and great music. The beer was impressively good. Took 6... four packs to go. The gin was one of the best I've tasted. A must stop. Worth the drive from Chicago Read more

Great place, all of us locals love hanging out with Steve and jamming tunes! We all just wish we could have food back at this... location. Steve is the reason we go hang out and the food option is the only thing missing! Maybe some drink specials midweek? Read more
