Smylie Brothers Brewing Co.

1615 Oak Avenue, Evanston, IL 60201

Bars & Taverns

Brewery in a vast warehouse space offering beers, a central bar, pub-fare menus & outdoor seating.

Smylie Brothers is where you come to lean back with some cold, craft brewed beer and lean forward over great pizza and mouthwatering BBQ, and tell new stories, and laugh at old jokes. Once you step through our doors, see our wide-open dining room, smell the brisket in our smoker, and hear the whoosh of pouring brew, you’ll know that no matter where you’re from, you’re home while you’re here.
