Howard Street Brewing

This Rogers Park spot proves that not all great breweries need to be in a cavernous warehouse. This tiny place is a bright boxy space with a bar in the middle of the room and only a few tables and stools. But it doesn't feel cramped—it feels like a cozy neighborhood cafe that's swapped lattes for fantastic $12 beer flights. It’s BYOF and they host fun events like trivia and storytelling nights.
