Great for groupsLivelyOutdoor seating

Welcome to District Brew Yards! We are taking indoor group reservations at our Gathering Spaces! Our Gathering Spaces are VERY casual reserved areas for groups of 20-30. These spaces are not seating for 20 but rather a "home base" for medium-sized groups that wish to congregate together. They're perfect for company outings and low-stakes social gatherings. These reservations do not include food & drink. You can preorder shareable food platters when you book on Tock. Food will be ready for pickup at Lillie's Q counter 15 minute after your scheduled reservation time. Note: the summary says “parties of 1” but it’s for 1 booking. Reservations cost $50.00 and are for 3-hour time blocks. Bookings must be paid for in advance to secure a reservation. The Beer Hall are always open on a first-come, first-serve basis. We do not take reservations outside of these Gathering Space bookings. If your date is booked or unavailable, you're still welcome to come to DBY with a large group and enjoy the Beer Hall as regular patrons. We'd love to have you! Now grab your buds & have some fun!

What diners say

“Great place with great vibe. Food is very tasty but not he healthiest one😜. One of the best fried pickles I ever had! The concept of choosing and puring your own beer and possibility of trying most of them..fun!”

“Just a 20-minute walk from the United Center, District Brew Yards is the perfect spot to meet up before a game—or anytime you want a great hangout. The concept is awesome, offering an impressive selection of beers, wines, and cocktails, plus their non-alcoholic options are top-notch. The food is fantastic—especially the wings, which are plump, flavorful, and absolutely satisfying. Whether you’re with a small group or a big crew, this place works perfectly for pre-event gatherings or just a fun weekend hangout. Highly recommend!”

“I went here with a group of 12 friends for drinks, and we had a great time! Ordering was super easy since it’s a self-tap drink place—you can pour whatever you want without waiting for a server. We sat in the outdoor dining area, which made the experience even more fun and relaxed.”

“Self service beer in a cafeteria atmosphere, featuring four different breweries, a BBQ restaurant, and a good number of party games. There's some on site parking, but be mindful if which spots belong to the trampoline place. Weather permitting there's a patio outside a well. Overall a nice spot to try a lot of different beers!”

“District Brew Yards offers a unique self-serve beer experience in a casual, cafeteria-style setting. The space features brews from four different breweries, a BBQ counter, and plenty of party games to keep things lively. The self-pour system makes it easy (and fun) to sample small pours and try a wide range of drinks beyond just beer. The food is hearty and satisfying, though it’s not necessarily a destination for the food alone. Pricing isn’t especially budget-friendly, but it’s more about the experience, and our group had a great time overall. Weather permitting, there’s also a nice patio outside. It’s easy to reserve tables for a group by calling ahead. All in all, it’s a fun, low-key spot to hang out and taste a variety of beers in a laid-back setting.”
