Plank Road Tap Room

Excellent place to grab a beer. Staff is friendly and helpful. Beers are always top notch with enough variety that there’s something for everyone. Inside is cozy but we love the porch/patio/garden layout outside (as did our dogs). Fire pit out back is also a great spot in cooler nights. The owners may even poke your beer with a hot poker if you’re lucky. Can’t say enough good things about them, lucky to have them in the neighborhood.

This place is top Notch. Owner is usually by the door ensuring we are safe and practicing proper social distancing. Right now masks are required indoors and this is being followed. The beer garden is stunning and well kept. The beer flows fresh and cold. If you like beer and some great people this is the place to be!

This place is hands down the absolute best neighborhood bar! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to chat or hangout. The beer selection is HUGE. Even the pickiest drinker can find something delicious on the menu. They have everything from local beer right down the road, to selections from both coasts. Don't know what to drink? They'll be happy to point you in the right direction. Not a big beer drinker? No problem! They have plenty of other drinks to wet your whistle. The food trucks are always amazing and delicious, and always pair well with a beer. They have special events all the time! From beer and donut pairing, to bacon and donut pairing, to beer and beer pairing! There's always people hanging out and playing bags, knocking out a board game, or being super imaginative (and mildly inappropriate) with Cards Against Humanity. You will not find a better place to drink a beer in Elgin. Plus, doesn't hurt that the owners are there all the time and SUPER attractive. Prost!

Love having this Tap room in our area! Their Beer Garden is the perfect place to enjoy our summer afternoon with friends. So many craft beers on tap and knowledgeable staff who can help you choose when you aren’t quite sure what to try next. Make sure you get out and enjoy this great business & the food truck for some great eats while you relax and enjoy.
