Double Clutch Brewing Company — Restaurant in Evanston Township

Seems like my first and most recent review was back on April 10, 2022. Updating my review now on National IPA Day. Enjoyed their Little Juice Coupe IPA 5.9% ABV and their oh so unique Rauchbier. Food still excellent. Pictured here is The Grilled Dill, a grilled cheese pickle sandy and a cup of pickle soup. Hit the spot. They also have a fun-labeled "Hot Rod Hot Sauce" which is pretty much Tabasco sauce. (04.10.22) Came in on a Sunday around noonish. Unique beer different than other brewing companies! Case in point, their Rauchbier Helles Lager and Piwo Grodziske! Both have a smokiness factor to them, the latter being the lighter of the two. The Schwarzbier sounded intimidating with its dark color but ended up being a beer that I can see myself choosing as a regular go-to. You can sample a free taste before committing, and I would recommend opting for a "Taster" size (I think 3oz) for $3. I really wanted to try their Hefeweizen but because this is one of their popular beers, it tapped out before we arrived. Hopefully get to try next time. Not only does this place have great beer, but they also have delicious food, an amazing space, and an amazing super car collection! Pictured here are their Michelada (and Kölsch mixed in), Fried Buffalo Balls (sorry for the blurry photo!), Rauchbier Helles Lager (Taster size), and their space. Video also uploaded to my Google Photos and on their PhotosVideos section. Will definitely...

What a delightful dining experience! Our evening was made particularly special by our knowledgeable waitress, who guided us through an impressive selection of craft beers. Her recommendation to try a flight was spot-on, allowing us to sample various unique brews and find our favorites.

The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of comfortable and inviting, making it an ideal spot for both casual dining and special occasions. The relaxed ambiance among the classic cars encourages you to unwind and truly savor your meal.

The menu is diverse and encourages sharing, which let us explore several dishes family-style. While the pickle soup wasn't quite to our taste, it speaks to the kitchen's creativity and willingness to take risks. The other dishes were absolute standouts - each one thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor.

The portion sizes are generous, and the presentation of each dish shows real care and attention to detail. The value for the quality of food and service is excellent.

We're already planning our next visit to try more of their innovative menu offerings. This place is a true neighborhood treasure, and I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone looking for great craft beer paired with delicious, creative cuisine in a welcoming setting.

Pro tip: Don't skip the beer flight - it's a perfect way to discover your new favorite brew! -- The Little Juice...

I write the review from the kindness of my heart and hopes of improvement. I went in with a party of 3 on 6/19, we were approached with good service, received beers and needed a minute to look at the menu. We never received waters, service did not come back for 20-25 minutes. 2 out of the 3 got refills on beers, I was still working on mine. Food was delicious and then service never came back to check on us. I still waited to order a beer. Other tables had multiple servers/services while we never got checked up on. Service never acknowledged or apologized for the wait. Time passed and decided to pass on another drink because I did not want to wait longer. While I went to the bathroom, I see waiters/waitresses talking and not helping out other tables. Staff at the store portion did not know what items they sell since my girlfriend wanted a sticker, he stated "I'm not sure, let me check". There is a sign with items that are available and he did not seem to know. Food was 5/5 service was 1/5, I hope that they clear up service because I felt unseen and left disappointed. I will not be coming back and hope this can be changed. Our total time there was 1.5 hours and it was because we were waiting...
