Revolution Brewing - Brewery & Taproom
Jean K · 239 Google reviewsRevolution Brewing - Brewery & Taproom — top-tier bar & grill in Avondale. Nothing about this place is trying to impress you, and that's the point. The menu takes creative swings, and lands them, and BYOB. Jim Campbell: "While they have some snacks (7-layer dip and a well-seasoned Chex mix, for example), the focus is on the beer"

“This place is awesome. Excellent beer and great vibes. A super fun vending machine and lots of space to chill with friends. I loved the Revolution of Ruby barleywine. Highly recommend!”
“A local brewery at its best: it serves great beers, acts as a community center, and preserves local history.”
“2026 Chicago Brewery Journey – Third Stop Made my way to Revolution Brewing – Brewery & Taproom, and as expected from a well-established Chicago staple, the selection did not disappoint. There’s a wide range of beers to choose from, and the Hero Flight was a great way to sample several—definitely lived up to the name and had me feeling pretty hoppy. The space is huge, with plenty of room to spread out, making it a great spot whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or hanging out for a while. A reliable stop with lots to offer and easy to see why it’s such a big name in Chicago.”
“Big & busy taproom serving the full complement of Revolutions brews. A great spot for gathers & celebrations of all kinds. Great staff & swag. Recommended.”

“Not only does this place of have an unlimited amount of gold standard beer choices they hosted the horror house holiday market and it was an amazing event can't wait to check it out next year and grab some cold beers”
“Nice place. We were a party of four plus an infant, which was totally ok to do if you are concerned. We brought our own pizzas in, as they don't serve food and allow that. Lots of tables. There were not many people there on the Friday night when we went there. They had good tv on..."Weekend at Bernie's" movie... this place is very casual and they had plenty plenty plenty of beer choices. They will give you small samples to try if you are unsure of what taste you want. I would return here. I have attached some photos.”
“Great beer! Taproom is huge and amazing! Multiple different kinds of beer on tap”
“Best brewery in Chicago for BA stouts, which is my favorite style. They have some good sours and other ales as well, and I love the space! Plenty of room, great ambiance, and they do tours! Plenty of options, and you can do flights, though the price varies!”
“Fantastic brewery! Over 20 beers on tap. Great space. Open area. Full view of the bottling process from the taproom. Staff takes care of you!”
