    I am looking for advice on bars and/or restaurants with good tap lists in the St. Charles, IL area. I won't have a car but can use taxi/uber to get around. Thanks in advance.

    Tap House Grill. A bit west of town

    there's also lots of downtown bars with mediocre selections of craft

    Niche in Geneva, which is a neighbor town of St Charles, has a great tap list and great food.

    In St. Charles, Tap House Grill is good for bar food and has 40 tap handles, usually something good on tap. For just a bar, serves no food but has great beers and music is The House Pub in downtown St. Charles. In Geneva 5 miles south of St. Charles, you have The Geneva Ale House, good food, 12 taps, and good bottle list. Also in Geneva, Noble House, 30 taps, and good food. A little farther down in Batavia, there is the Gammon Coach House. In Geneva there is also a brewery, Penrose, which has very good beer at its tasting room.

    Go to geneva. Go to Niche or The House pub. House pub will have some nice live music. Niche has a fantastic bottle selection.

    Check out beermenus.com. It has a bars near me option that shows what people are pouring.

    Yeah, definitely hit Penrose if you'll be in that area, and Ubering between places. That's the main one I can think of in that area and only one I've tried so far, though I suspect there are other nearby bars that perhaps have a respectable(maybe a little more limited?) craft selection. Always wondered about Stockholm's and Geneva Ale House, but never quite made it to either of those places.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I will be arriving tomorrow night and will try to hit up few places.
