River North Brewery - Blake Street Taproom

A wonderful selection and some of the best stouts you will find around!

The beers are great, and so is the seating both indoor and outdoor. A great place for darker beets in the winter. Coming here is a bit of a gamble though: the only food is a food truck which is tasty but is closed as often as not even during hours it's supposed to be here. The music is a complete roll of the dice depending on who's tending the taps. Right now it's non-stop loud country music which isn't my thing at all and reason enough to leave and find somewhere else.

Excellent beers if you're into big beers. They excel at doing big barrel-aged stouts and barleywines. The lighter beers are good too, as are the tacos from the taco trailer outside. Great staff too. Dog friendly, since they don't serve their own food.

Taco truck that’s there on wednesdays and fridays is BOMB. Sooooo good. And great beer at the brewery itself

Awesome atmosphere and beers highly recommend. Bartender on Sunday, think his name was Nate. Was such a good host
