5 Rabbit Brewery - Bedford Park

Great place Awesome owners. Celebrating today for Trump Loss!!

What a delightful adventure we just experienced at 5 Rabbit Cervecería! First of all, what an incredible and inspiring mission: creating quality and delectable cerveza (beer) in the tradition of Latin America! Second of all, the beer is outstanding! I partook in their $14 flight of five beers and never before have I been so pleased with every single beer! The 5 Rabbit and 5 Lizard were very solid...taking a more complex twist in more traditional beers! I also really liked the Yodo con Lèche porter! So creamy and full of flavor! There were three beers that really stood out to me! First, the Vida y Muerte Oktoberfest was a brilliant twist of cinnamon on the traditional Oktoberfest. My partner and I both loved this and we ended up getting a growler of it to go! My personal favorite was the La Pina de mis Ojos sour ale with pineapple. It was delightfully tart and subtly sweet! I got a pint of this after the taster! My partner and I also loved the experimental brew: Licuado de Papaya. This sweet beer was complex and full of papaya, lactose, and vanilla flavors! We loved it and would have gotten a growler of it if that was possible! Furthermore, the staff and space are welcoming and open! We felt super comfortable here for several hours as we ordered dinner (they let you order in outside food) and did some work, utilizing the free WiFi. They also have phone chargers if you need them! How cool!! This is definitely going onto our routine of brewery/dinner workspots! We loved 5 Rabbits Cerveceria and cannot wait to come back!

5rabbit is a great cervecería! We went with friends and loooveee it. We went Thursday night, because they have tacos! Taco Thursday, 5:30-9pm Make sure to arrive early! The tacos will be gone if you are to late. The selection of beers is wonderful and the beers are so tasty. We had Xicago The Dama and Cacao If you want to have a good local experience This is the place. Is a little far from Chicago, but is absolutely worth the trip. They have some board games on the tap room. If you don't want to come for taco Thursday, you can bring your own food other day. Or order something. We really enjoyed it. Salud!

As stated by a couple of other reviewers this was not easy to find. They have their logo up on the side of the building, but Waze took me to the opposite side of the building. Having the brewery name on the building would make it much easier for potential customers to locate them. For anyone coming after me, the building is at the northeast corner of 74th and Narragansett. The small unmarked pedestrian door right next to the roll up door that faces Narragansett is the entrance. Yes there is no real sign. I guess the adventure in finding it is part of the allure. The taproom is a corner of the brewery and looks like it could really be hopping at times with quite a few large tables available. They have a big selection of board games as well as a foosball table. I was the first in the door when they opened at 4pm on a Friday afternoon. Initially I received what I thought was a rather cool and unwelcoming reception, despite being the only customer around. The beers, well let's cover the good, the bad, and the ugly. When I ordered my flight I was told they were out of El Sudor De Santo, or Satan's Sweat. This is aged in tequila barrels and interested me, also let's be honest that it has a badass name. Overall I was not overly impressed with the beers. The 5 Lizard was just nasty unless you like your beer with a seriously overpowering citrus kick. If you order the 5 Lizard, just smell it. It is heavenly! Now stop!!! Don't drink it and all will be well... The Arroz Con Leche also was really not good. This beer is billed as an imperial blonde with jasmine rice, vanilla, cinnamon and lactose. I didn't finish the taster, and considered trying to find a Tide Pod to cleanse my palate. I don't know why they bother having it on tap, and I always look for something to like in every beer I try. On a better note, the Lupita the 3 King's was actually pretty good, as was the Fabulosa Porter, which was a wheat porter. The young lady staffing the bar brought me a taste of the El Sudor Del Santo, a wild wit which is barrel aged in tequila barrels. This was nice of her as apparently she noticed I was interested in trying everything they had, and it just went back on tap. This was the highlight of my visit as it has a really nice sour note even on the nose. I admit to enjoying sour beers, and this one saved my visit to 5 Rabbits. It absolutely would not be for everyone (Corinne) as not only does it have the sour notes to it but overlay that with the flavors imparted from the tequila barrels. There really is quite a bit going on with this beer, thought definitely some non-traditional things. I enjoyed this one. Overall I can't give 5 Rabbits a really glowing recommendation. Several beers I didn't like at all, and I like all styles. It is worth a stop, particularly as it is one of the only breweries nearby. The next time I am in the area I will give them a try again and see how that plays out. Please, follow my brewery reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! [hidden link]

We loved 5Rabbit Cerveceria. Inspired by Latin America but brewed in Bedford Park, they have shown me some of my favorite brews. Some you have to try: Yodo Con Leche, 5Vulture, SuperPils, Gringolandia Ironica IPA, La Piña de Mis Ojos. They also host great events and have delicious tacos, usually once a week. Excited to see what is next!
