Suggestions for Factory near Chicago

Time Out Chicago • October 20, 2011Remember the olden days when comedy clubs with a two-drink minimum policy ruled? That era is long gone, but this venerable laugh factory has managed to hang on.

Neil T. • February 12, 2016Went in Jan 2016, they don't do factory tours anymore but have daily "Tastings and Traditions" presentation at 1pm including free samples.

Noha Q. • August 25, 2016Very delicious.. Similar to cheese cake factory!

Mary Beth B. • September 24, 2011The Lemonhead lunch box comes with lots of candy inside! A great buy!!

Debbie O. • November 8, 2011If you're lucky, there are days you can smell the chocolate from the Mars candy factory! Not the stop if you're hungry!

Chris V. • November 4, 2017The beers of course. Quick bar service in a large beer hall. Good swag shop

Elite T. • February 29, 2012The crispy pies hold a lot of weight, so after you choose your pizza—red, white or New Haven plain—start piling on the toppings. (If you’re really going New Haven–style, try one with clams and bacon.)

Martin • January 25, 2020Mushroom Pizza w/ Fontina, Caramelized Onions, and Seasonal Mushrooms

Erik S. • December 27, 2016Great place for a beer and savory snacks/meals. Get the Ritz crackers and cheese

Redeye Chicago • February 12, 2015We recommend the Winter Gingerbee Hot Toddy, a novel combination of Korean honey-ginger tea, which brings a fresh concentrated flavor to the drink, and spicy rye whiskey that matches that intensity.

C R. • December 20, 2015Terrific spot in Southport Corridor. Skip the flight and have a few tasters to find what you like. Then get 10oz pours of a few different brews. Food is also excellent and atmosphere is on point.

C R. • May 28, 2017Rick Bayless has a gem in this West Loop craft brewery and Oaxacan-themed taqueria. Check out the 2nd level for more space and calmer vibes. No reservations and beers/food are available to-go.

Camden R. • May 19, 2024Epic beverages. Exceptional service.

John C. • January 25, 2020Great, spacious place to grab a few beers with a group. Excellent draft selection (all house-brewed) too, especially if you like Belgian styles.

Alan G. • August 19, 2013Our tour guide Patti rocked it! The beer was great, she even took us to a great bar after! Can't beat that

Bobby K. • September 15, 2014Dark divey vibe inside, great beer garden outside, and lots of awesome beer on tap. Tamale man stops by too or the Diner Grill is 24 hours across the street.

Tom N. • May 1, 2022The hipster sibling of the original Naperville location. Great vibe, plenty of taps - try a Spritzer while you’re at it

chgocdg • August 12, 2014Polish or hot dog with large drink and free refills including tax less than $2. Pizza by the slice, frozen fat free yogurt, cold drinks, and another sandwich are all very inexpensive. Free parking.

Smokkee S. • July 20, 2015Worth every penny! Corned beef was the draw but I order the pastrami just as often. & now they got great Italian beefs. Did I mention that they make their own fresh potato chips?

Dustin H. • April 5, 2016They do an excellent tour, and their products are especially tasty. The tea infused one was great.

Paul L. • July 25, 2021Really good beer (Belgian, farmhouse, sours), unique but accessible. Pizza was fantastic, great crust, vegan vegetarian and meat all available. Nick, the bartender, was awesome.
