Batch Brewing Company in Corktown is the go-to hangout for craft beer enthusiasts, boasting a vibrant outdoor patio, rotating brews, and delicious barbecue bites alongside unique pop-up offerings like Taqueria El Rey.
"This Corktown brewery is a destination among beer fans. The beer garden keeps a rotating list of brews on tap, ranging from West Coast IPAs and Mexican and German lagers, to hard ciders, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. The kitchen features a regular menu that’s been leaning into barbecue as of late. Pop-ups are also a frequent occurrence at Batch, such as the popular Melway Burgers, which as of early 2025, have been making weekly appearances on Monday and Tuesday evenings. The brewery offers expansive outdoor seating under an open-air pavilion, as well as communal indoor seating, where diners can gather in groups or sit solo at the bar and take in the spacious, semi-industrial space." - Serena Maria Daniels
