Nestled alongside the Fox River, and including a full-service container bar, our patio comes alive 12 months out of the year with a heated seasonal enclosure during the winter months.

Looking to host a party? Our private dining room adjacent to the brew house is certain to bring together small to medium sized private events in a vibrant sit down or cocktail environment.

While our beer is certainly the front man of this band, the supporting musicians are excellent players! A full-service kitchen, wine and spirit program allows not just beer lovers but all to enjoy our carefully curated offerings. Whether you come for the beer, food, wine or spirits we know you’ll stay and come back because of the great times you’ll have.

Everything was amazing. Putting booths in would be nice for more private dinners with your company. The restaurant is so open and distracting.

Food and drinks were tasty and it was nice to sit outside. I told them this was a birthday celebration and nothing was done. They even made us pay for our desert, which was surprising. Also, they tack on a 3% service charge at the bill if you pay by credit card (which I’ve never heard of for a restaurant) so bring cash unless you want to factor that into all the menu prices.

Hi Daniel! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Alter Brewing + Kitchen - St. Charles. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our food and drinks, and that you enjoyed the outdoors seating. However, we're sorry to hear that you felt overlooked on your special day. We always aim to make every occasion special and we regret that we missed the mark. We don't currently have a birthday tradition, but we think it's a great idea to explore further. We appreciate your feedback regarding the credit card fee and will review our policies. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future. Best, The Alter St. Charles Management Team
