Visited the Lake Villa location. Nice simple, amply sized taproom with plenty of tap selections. I found it comfortable while fairly busy. Nice vibe...everyone was smiling, talking and enjoying the evening. Service was fine. This worked for me. And all the beers I tried were quite acceptable. I will return.

Visited their temporary location at The Marina. Very small taproom with just a few tables and a short bar. There is a biergarten with picnic tables for outdoor consumption. Love the lakeside location.

2024: North Point Marinap
Literally moved to the harbor, good move. Indoor taproom with a view of the marina boats, plus an outdoor patio with beer tent & live music, plus food on the weekends.
Service was great, they had 3 tending the bar, and they were quick. With the music crowd outside there was often a line out the door, but it moved quick. Saw liter mugs on the bar, but plastic cups for anyone going outside.
Quality was ok, the Harbor Lager was decent and the dark Czech lager was great. Czech pale was not great, Cream Ale was meh. Nice they had a few lagers though.
2019: Sheridan Rd.
Cool spot, not much else going on along Sheridan Road besides a bunch of sketchy motels, gaming parlors, and a few roadhouse bars that look like 2-3 houses smashed together. Harbor has a small bar and some nondescript gaming parlor environs, fitting in with other places in the area.
Pale blue and white interior, lockers with various brewery swag, inset barrel tables, and a bar that seats 8 or so. Game room in the back, garage door in front that opens in warmer weather.
Service was great, Lyssa was our bartender. A brewer/owner, plus another brewer at the bar who thanked us and other patrons for stopping in. Flights and howlers available.
Beers were pretty good, the best was the BA Foghorn BSDA, a collab with Nightshade & Dark, which kicked just as we ordered a howler to go. Some sour, haze, milkshake, peanut butter infused, etc. A decent variety, fairly trendy in scope.
Overall a good stop near Kenosha, only a mere 15 min. from downtown.
