Thornton Distilling Co.

Food is fantastic, atmosphere is really great and drinks are a large variety Took home a bottle of the pecan bourbon!!

Confusing but a good place for drinks and food. It isn't really a brewery but rather a distillery with a food menu. Thornton Distilling is listed on the Dixie Ale Trail. Even though it doesn't actually brew any beers, they have plenty from other local breweries. You can also get some pretty good food that's better than typical greasy bar stuff. After seeing this place was in the area, we came here. It's located in one of the older Chicago area buildings, made of old bricks and it feels like you went back in time. This place used to be a brewery ironically enough, even though now it's just spirits like whiskey. It's about $12 for the cheapest. We had a few of these. All good. Pecan Whiskey was the best of these. As for food, each of us got a Veggie Burger. It's $12 for a pretty big one. About the only thing as far as vegetarian choices. The rest of the menu is meats like barbecue, wings, and that. Good place to get some distilled spirits made on site, a lot fresher. It's more of a distillery than a restaurant. There's still a food menu of course, with meats such as barbecue and wings, along with a few choices like burgers for vegetarians.

We did the distillery tour and tasting last night. Definitely some of the best we have ever had. The atmosphere is great! We had dinner after our tour and all of our food and cocktail choices were amazing. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Sent 2 online inquires for event info and never heard back. Emailed the event coordinator on 2 separate occasions and never heard back. Called twice and was told they know about my email but are behind. Still haven't heard back and my initial inquire was about 2 months ago.

My wife and I wholeheartedly give a thumbs up to Wilma's! The food is outstanding, and the baby back ribs are particularly delicious. The atmosphere is fantastic, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. Wilma is a truly talented and warm-hearted person who knows her craft well. God bless her! We're already looking forward to our next visit. Have a great day!
