No One Comes Between You and Your Beer
Welcome to District Brew Yards (aka “the Brew Yards”), the first of its kind in the nation to house a production brewery collective, pour-your-own beer hall, and shop under one roof, right here in Chicago’s Brewing District.
Home to Lillie’s Q Barbeque and Chicken Shack!
Get all your Lillie’s Q favorites INSIDE the Brew Yards!
We’re thrilled to have Chef Charlie Mckenna and his award-winning team with us at DBY. Order barbeque by the half-pound, delicious fried chicken and your favorite sides for pickup or delivery.
The Patio is Open!
That’s right, buds! We now have a 90+ person patio that is open for business! Enjoy your favorite Brew Yards beers alongside our awesome Southern-facing murals.
Please enter through the main entrance of District Brew Yards at 417 N. Ashland Ave., check-in at the front desk to get a beer card for the pour-your-own taps. THEN proceed to the patio.
A friendly reminder, District Brew Yards is 21+.
Dogs are allowed on the new patio.
We Have Heat!
We have 9 fire pits and 8 propane heaters on the patio. Bring your own blanket and get cozy!

Everything in Cans
At the Brew Yards we can nearly everything we brew. That means you can take 16oz cans with you wherever you go or delivered wherever you are.
BBQ
From everyday lunches to family reunions, smoked meats & BBQ are always a crowd-pleaser. Order Lillie’s Q for food, beer and all the fixins’. It’s almost too easy.
40 Taps
With 40 beers on tap, you’ll always find something to please your palate. Light lagers, pistachio cream ales, bourbon barrel-aged boozies; we’ve got them all.
Open Beer Hall
Our communal seating makes us a great space to gather! We have plenty of space and we’ve expanded our seating options for your comfort. No splitting tabs, no pressure, just freedom.
Casual Patio
Our adjacent patio space is a sweet treat in the Chicago summers. Enter through the Brew Yards, pour-your-own and grab a patio table with your buds. Let’s day drink.
Take It To-Go
Gearing up for the big game or just having a few friends over? Stop into the Brew Yards to pick up a case of anything you want at any time. Get a few pounds of brisket while you’re at it & you’re party host of the year. Cheers.
