1. The Spot - Metropolitan Brewery

The Out Our Front Door annual Hootenanny Fundraiser is happening at one of best breweries in town. Metropolitan Brewery has been around since 2008, and it has a simply gorgeous taproom with a floor to ceiling windows and patio looking out on a peaceful bend of the Chicago River on Chicago's Northwest Side.

They make all kinds of delicious German style lagers and are being so generous with letting us use their huge brewing space for the Hootenanny. Kids and dogs are always welcome @metrobrewing and are welcome at the Hootenanny!
