Imperial Oak Brewing - Willow Springs

We went there last night with friends and I had forgotten how delicious their beers are. I had a new version of MaiBock (sp) and Stout (Utterly Black) and they were both as delicious! So glad the bartender suggested trying the new release beer because it was excellent! We sat on the beautiful terrace with an amazing breeze and had delicious food from Lil Deb Mobile Eats Truck! The chili and meatballs were excellent and my husband loved the combination of Italian beef and sausage! Such great bar food at a reasonable price and write their own property so it was super easy. The half-hour trip is worth and we will meet friends again soon!

I enjoyed the outdoor seating and large selection of beers. Prices were reasonable. The ambiance by the river/Parkway is nice. There is plenty of available parking. One of the bartenders was friendly and helpful, while the other was rude and unwelcoming (perhaps she was having a bad day)? Make sure you bring a mask, otherwise they won't let you in the door to order any beer. You are not allowed to drink inside, and must go outside.

Great place for a beer and wide range to choose from Patio area is also great and the food vans have now been complemented by a Pizza House 2 doors down from the Brewery...

Beautiful craft beacon with plenty of indoor/outdoor space, plenty of barroom and tables as well as various games. Hübscher. Seriously, good stuff. Regardless of the inviting space natural light and wood interior. Good beer and cocktails/hard liquor.

Stopped by on a beautiful Saturday at noon while biking on the Des Plaines River trail system. A great spot to sit, relax and have a delicious beer. They have a great selection, great service and he perfect location just across from the trail system. Definitely worth the bike ride over the bridge.
