Destihl Restaurant & Brew Works (Champaign)

No Longer In Business

Visited on a Wednesday evening after dinner. It's located in the area of Champaign that seems to have all the restaurants and bars. The restaurant itself has the feel of something that would be attached to a hotel. Maybe it is? I sat at the bar, which was pretty spacious. The bartender was awesome. I don't know how he kept up with everything he had going on. I had six sample pours of various beers and they were all pretty good. They don't really do flights, but you can still get 4 ounce size pours, which was fine, but adds up quickly if you want the more specialty beers. I would say this is the place to go in Champaign, but unfortunately it appears this place is shutting down when they open up a location outside of the city.

Came in for a late lunch on a Tuesday and the place was almost deserted. It is an attractive, modern place, and the food was excellent as was the service. The beers were just okay.

Nice looking brewpub with a friendly bartender who put up with endless four ounce pours. Salad was good. Beers are ok, if not special. Hey. You are in Champaign. Not a lot beerwise to choose from.

Restaurant with brewpub beer. Service is okay-- slow on night I visited and not beer people-- General servers. Beer is okay but not great. Okay to visit but may be better choices in the area

An awesome brewpub near campus in Champaign. The food, beer list, and service are all great, and the atmosphere is upscale, clean, and open. I really like this place. The beer is good to great, but I’d come back for the food periodically even if it wasn’t.

This place was actually pretty nice. Kind of almost upscale, but the still had a nice bar area and the brewing equipment was visible. Good and attentive service. Nice selection of beers. All available in 4 oz pours for shockingly good prices. We tried one appetizer and it was excellent (but you had better like bacon!) I would go here a lot if I lived in Champaign.

Third brewery of the day, got 8 samples and 5 were good. Real good selection, good service. Pretzels were real good.

Stopped in for lunch on the way to DLD 2013. Sat in the bar area, staff was very friendly. We sampled all the beers on tap, and had a great lunch. Tough to say which was the best beer, several were very tasty. Food selection was awesome as well. Would definitely return.

Went out with some friends... super friendly wait staff. Knowledgeable about the beers they had on tap. Was a little pricey but GREAT for a special occasion as was our case. Ambiance was nice, and it wasn’t too busy. Really liked that you could get the 4 oz or 6 oz beers. Would recommend to others and definitely plan on returning when I can!

First time to this location. Very similar to the one in Bloominton-Normal. Good food menu. 11 of their own beers on tap - Blondes through Quads and everything in between.
