Eris Brewery & Cider House
Location: Chicago, Illinois
“Overall great experience. Went with 16 kids! Ours were the only with food allergies. They have a mission on their website that they have menus for all and don’t want anyone to be left out. The waitstaff was a little overwhelmed as anyone would be with 16 kids so I had to double and triple-check our kid’s foods were safe, which they were. Even for adults, they label cross-contamination on their ciders with dairy and wheat”
