Motor Row Brewery

Located at 2337 South Michigan Avenue, our historic Landmark building takes you back in time to when the thriving neighborhood was home to countless automotive dealerships and showrooms, bars, and even the legendary Chess Records – one of the original recording studios in the city.
Created by our Brewmaster, Frank Lassandrello, we make everything from spot-on interpretations of traditional styles to some of the wildest beers you’ll ever drink. Our two year-round offerings, Out of the Loop IPL and Reclamation Lager, harken back to the Midwest’s proud tradition of great lager beers. We will also offer extended seasonal releases (including a series of easy-drinking Belgian-style ales, perfect for summer) as well as experimental one-offs.
The brewery has a pub-sized brewhouse, but with enough tanks to make our annual output ~4000 barrels – a larger capacity than most breweries our size. The facility also features a retail/tasting space up front and a full taproom upstairs which will open shortly after the brewery does.
