What it's known for
A brewery 'incubator': Pilot Project brews and launches beers for small and up-and-coming brands (such as the worker-owned Brutalist Brewing Cooperative), so the taps are a cross-section of new Chicago beer, with kombucha, a kitchen and a patio. Open 9am to 10pm Monday to Thursday, 9am to 11pm Friday and Saturday and 9am to 9pm Sunday; the kitchen closes an hour earlier.
Five minutes' walk from the Western Blue Line stop. Brewery tours with five 5oz tasters are sold on its website.
Check opening hours with the venue before you go: they change, especially early in the week.
