74 /100 Bulldog Ale House (Restaurant) 394 E. IRVING PARK RD. A long bar with lots of tables, sports on, with many beers on draft, food looked good, but as of 2023 it has turned into a restaurant by owners. |
78 /100 245 EAST MAIN STREET Tucked away on a side street near the tracks is the smaller of the three Pollyanna locations, Quaint taproom, nice staff, good selection of beers. All tasty. |
80 /100 Brew & Grow - Roselle (Homebrew Shop) 359 W. IRVING PARK ROAD So I must admit that I have not been to many homebrew stores, in fact this might be the first dedicated home brewing place I have been too. Just getting into home brewing and I came in with a big list of items I needed to buy and Andy was great in helping me out. Large selection of malt, hops, yeast, and supplies. I will be back. |
74 /100 Brew & Grow - Roselle (Homebrew Shop) 359 W. IRVING PARK ROAD The name says it all here. I love walking in and the first thing you see is bat guano. While the name lists beer first I think the priorities are in other areas with most of the store dedicated to "growing". Having said that what it does have for brewing is great.
There is a huge selection of ingredients and supplies that are very reasonable priced. Additionally, they have tons of brewing books, that I’ve never seen before.
The staff is extremely knowledable and helpful. They know there stuff and offer great suggestions and hints. They are also always brewing, and they’ve had some great stuff, especially a red sour.
They also have parties and give away food and beer. Great place to go.

82 /100 Brew & Grow - Roselle (Homebrew Shop) 359 W. IRVING PARK ROAD This is definitely much closer than Bev-art. Selection is pretty good, nice bunch of hops, decent grain selection (though generic) Overall, I’d say that this is a pretty decent spot for picking up supplies and advice. |
70 /100 Brew & Grow - Roselle (Homebrew Shop) 359 W. IRVING PARK ROAD Finally had a chance to stop by this place. Also, I am not a homebrewer but have remained interested in eventually getting started. As said already they appear to have good resources to help just about any homebrewer out there. The staff was very attentive to my questions and privided what I feel is good direction. |
76 /100 Brew & Grow - Roselle (Homebrew Shop) 359 W. IRVING PARK ROAD I’m not much of a homebrewer. I’ve done two of my own batches and helped a friend with another. This store is for hardcore homebrewers. It looks more like a Home Depot garden center than anything else. They sell different soils, apparatuses, the works. They have few different brand pre-made kits. They have a little greenhouse room of live hops you can buy. Staff knows everything and is very polite. They even offer samples of their own homebrew to customers. You can find all types of ingredients. One of the pre-made kits, "american micro pale ale" or something was pretty disgusting. If you’re going to buy premade kits, stick with morebeer.com. If you’re a pro, definitely check this place out. |
