Starting today, guests no longer need to show their vaccination status and masks will not be required inside our Tap Room. We will continue to monitor local positivity rates, and if we see a troublesome upward trend, we will make adjustments.

As of January 10, 2022, the City of Evanston’s Health & Human Services Department requires everyone 5 years and older to show proof of vaccination. Patrons 16 years and older need to provide ID with proof of vaccination. (There is a 10-minute grace period and no proof required for to-go orders. Just a government ID that shows you're at least 21, just like the old days.) If you need a mask, some will be available from our bartenders.

JANUARY 3, 2022

We are enforcing mandatory City of Evanston’s Health & Human Services Department Covid-19 mitigation requirements: Everyone 5 years and older needs to bring proof of vaccination and/or provide proof of a negative test result within 24 hours of entry. Patrons 16 years and older will need to provide ID with proof of vaccination. (No proof required for to-go orders. Just a government ID that shows you're at least 21, just like the old days.) If you need a mask, some will be available from our bartenders.

The City of Evanston’s Health & Human Services Department just released new Covid-19 guidance for businesses that we are adopting starting today. Please bring proof of vaccination and/or provide proof of a negative test result within 24 hours upon entry. If you need a mask, some will be available from our bartenders. Let’s keep each other healthy and safe (and enjoy great beer!)

AUGUST 26, 2021

The City of Evanston’s Health & Human Services Department recently announced that all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, will be required to wear a mask in public indoor spaces beginning Friday, August 27.

We were ahead of the curve last week when we put this in place and will continue to require masks need to be worn inside the Tap Room when you’re not seated and drinking. We all want to get on the other side of the Delta variant as soon as possible because no one wants to go into another lockdown.

Our staff are fully vaccinated and are wearing masks, and if you need a mask some will be available from our bartenders. Let’s protect each other and beat this (once again)!

AUGUST 19, 2021

After a few blissful, hopeful weeks, we are sad to say that due to numbers trending the wrong direction, we are back to requiring masks to be worn inside the Tap Room when you’re not seated and drinking. We all want to get on the other side of the Delta variant as soon as possible because no one wants to go into another lockdown. Our staff is fully vaccinated and is wearing masks as well.

Let’s protect each other and beat this (once again)!

JUNE 11, 2021

Dreams do come true! Starting today we are back at full capacity inside and out! We’re following the IDPH & CDC guidelines, so if you’re vaccinated, you do not need to wear a mask. If you’re not vaccinated, you should wear a mask and follow 6’ social distancing indoors and either wear a mask or socially distance outdoors.

So we’ll have the tables back as you remember them except for the bar, where we’re offering limited seating to begin with mainly because we think our new service is working so well.

More exciting changes coming in the next few weeks, so stay tuned and join us on the journey!
