Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Lake Forest

Here’s a review you could use: We celebrated a birthday at Spears, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The food was outstanding, with every dish perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor—everyone at the table raved about it. A special shoutout to our incredible server, Armie, who went above and beyond to make the evening truly unforgettable. Her warm and friendly demeanor, impeccable attention to detail, and top-notch service elevated our celebration to the next level. To top it all off, Armie surprised the birthday boy (my husband) and the rest of the table with a towering cotton candy treat that made the night even more special. Thank you, Spears, for such a memorable evening—we can’t wait to return!

Staff was great and so was food. Thanks for a great night Amber.

Food is really good. Great unique options you wouldn’t expect from a brewery. Great beer selection. There are good cocktails as well if you don’t like beer. Good location but decor and layout is odd.

First, Sheryl R. our server did a FANTASTIC attentive job and didn't miss a beat, your other servers could learn a few things from her because that's the weak link at City Works. Food was prepared to order and came out hot and in a timely manner.

Street Tacos were the bomb!! Definitely get a reservation, great atmosphere
