Monochrome Brewing is a great spot in Pilsen for decompressing with some coworkers after making it through the longest work day in history, or just having a solo pint at the bar post-dog walk (they’re canine-friendly). This large industrial-esque spot has a wide range of house brews and guest drafts, but the highlights are their Mexican-inspired beers, like the mangonada or “El Champu,” which channels the flavors of chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, and corn. And while Monochrome is BYOF, we like stopping by on weekends to grab some smoked burgers or brisket from their resident pop-up, Heffer BBQ.
