Nightshade And Dark's Pandemonium Brewing

Such a unique cool brewery. Met so many of our close friends here. So many different beers to try. Love seeing some big jazz happen there as well. Such a fun ode to Ray Bradbury!

Jazz every Sunday, I think) good beer. Close your eyes and enjoy! The owners are friendly, and there is also a distillery section and you can buy a shot of whisky or your choice of beer! Besides, there is always a food truck parked at the front forcustomers to buy food.

The restaurant has an amazing ambiance, fantastic beer selection, and the food vendors offer a very impressive array of options. With a wide variety of beers to choose from, any beer enthusiast would be delighted. This establishment is a hidden treasure and I am excited to return in the future.

Amazing beers and a history lesson. I had a flight of local beers. The owner was kind enough to give me a rundown on the happenings of the area and what has made Waukegan a staple of American pop culture. I was only in town for two nights from my central Florida home but I was made to feel welcome and appreciated. Thanks guys.

Met a friend here as it was 1/2 way Milw-Chicago west 'burbs...great place to hang out play games, cards, good tunes mix...wish we had something like this by where I live. Mike is a cool knowledgeable dude, his Beers, Spirits Oppidan Solera small batch whiskey WOW. The dude with the bbq truck: pork, salmon, mashed taters, nuts, all smoked so good. Spent 6 hours here, enjoyed every minute- just wish it was a bit warmer. Bring a sweater. I 'll be Bach. Ver carta

This restaurant review is about a unique business in Waukegan that combines a brewery and distillery under one roof. Nightshade And Dark's Pandemonium is the brewery, and Oppidan is the distillery. Inside, there are tributes to Ray Bradbury and other hometown pride displays. The atmosphere is pretty cool with space for performances, board games, and trivia. They offer a limited but good variety of beers at around $8 a pint. One interesting beer is A Pleasure To Burn, a jalapeño lime ale that packs a spicy kick. The food options are limited, with almonds being the main snack option at $8 a bag. They also have food trucks serving smoked meats. Overall, it's a great place to try some unique bee...

First off, this place was freezing and we kept our jackets on the whole time because it just wasn 't comfortable. I found this brewery via Facebook events (they don 't have a real website) and was excited about how interesting their beers looked. I love unique and strange beers, but I have to admit I was left disappointed with the execution and quality of the beers after trying them. The service was good and you can order any amount you 'd like in your flight. Some of the beers we tried included the I was in Love with You Once Cherry Limeade Sour (way too sweet for my preference), A Different Kind of Fool Black Ale with Vanilla and Natural Root Beer Flavor, Rosemary 's Baby Blood Orange Rose...

So cool that we have a place like this in Waukegan, and especially fitting to take so much inspiration from Ray Bradbury 's work. First time I was in was maybe the beginning of fall last year, for one of the nights they were hosting Jazz Wave. I got a flight, and drank it while a big jazz band played. It was amazing, and the place continued to be every time I returned. I 'm not a beer guy in the slightest. But I find most of the brews here to be pretty damn good. I want to try all of them, and so far I 'm about halfway there. They obviously rotate recipes out, but I 'll take notes on any that I try. Not having the palate for brews, my thoughts range from yeah, that 's a beer to now that 's a... Ver carta
