Rockford: 6 Destinations for Craft Beer
With Illinois Craft Beer Week right around the corner on May 13-20, Rockford homes for sale just got even better! After all, the city of Rockford is filled with great bars, taverns, and breweries where you can indulge in food and drink until your heart's content. Our real estate agents have all pitched in to name their favorites, and it's quite an eclectic group:
- The Olympic Tavern — 2327 N. Main St., Rockford, IL 61103
Opened in 1945, The Olympic Tavern has been a staple of Rockford for nearly eight incredible decades. In addition to delicious appetizers and more than two dozen beers on tap, you'll find steaks, fresh seafood, wings, tacos, and loads of other favorites. This full-service restaurant and bar has seen many changes over the years, but their dedication to craft beer and excellent customer service has always remained. - Garrett's Restaurant and Bar — 1631 N. Bell School Rd., Rockford, IL 61107
Garrett's Restaurant and Bar is known for its mixture of fine and casual dining. It has a craft beer available for every type of palate, and the staff is great at matching your favorite alcohol - be it craft beer, vodka, gin, whiskey, etc. - to your lunch or dinner. As for the food menu, you'll find plenty of steaks, fresh seafood, burgers, tacos, quesadillas, soups, desserts, and more. - My Place Bar and Grill — 4578 Harrison Ave., Rockford, IL 61108
If you're looking for a place where you can mix craft food with entertainment, My Place Bar and Grill should be on your list of priorities. The menu is filled with all your favorites, from pork chops and steaks to prime rib and chicken wings. With every visit, you'll also find sports games playing on the flat-screen TVs hung strategically around the bar. - Stone Eagle Tavern — 6445 E. State St., Rockford, IL 61108
Opened just 10 years ago by Jimmy Vitale, this cozy little tavern basically became an overnight success. In addition to its long list of craft beers, the Stone Eagle Tavern menu includes tons of food, including salads, burgers, pizzas, and seafood (for a real treat, try the Creole-seasoned shrimp and tortellini). After you gulp down one or two of their craft beers, you can also check out their extensive wine list, including pinot grigio, pinot noir, merlot, red zinfandel, and more. - Prairie Street Brewing Company — 200 Prairie St., Rockford, IL 61107
Relatively new to the scene, the Prairie Street Brewing Company has been growing and thriving since 2013. Some local favorites include the Wavey Blonde, Peacock Pale Ale, Prairie Street IPA, and Tickled Pink sour ale, while some residents get excited about their season craft beers like their Peach Wheat and Irish Stout. Add tons of bar food, from burgers and sandwiches to cheese curds and street tacos, and you won't be leaving without a full stomach.
