The Open Bottle opened in 2015 with a simple goal: to create a place where craft beer lovers could explore, discover, and share what they love. What started as a small, independent bottle shop and tap room in Tinley Park grew into a community hub for locals and travelers alike.
In 2021, we proudly opened our second location in Lockport. Four years later, we shifted our full focus there, embracing the opportunity to evolve with a fresh space, a tighter vision, and a renewed commitment to what we do best: curating great beer, serving our community, and creating a welcoming place for everyone who walks through our doors.
We’re known for our well-curated selection of craft beer, cider, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic options from both local favorites and sought-after producers across the country. Our taproom is a place where people come not just to drink, but to learn and connect. View our menus here! Whether you’re new to craft beer or a seasoned enthusiast, our team is always ready to make a recommendation, pour you a taste, or nerd out about what’s new on the shelf.
Beyond the beer, we’re proud to host tastings, trivia nights, bottle releases, and community events that bring people together. Check out our upcoming events here! We’re a family-owned business built on a love for great drinks and good people, and we’re here to help you find something you’ll love – every time you walk through our doors or visit us online.
We owe our success to our loyal customers – whether we see you once a day, once a week, once a year – you’re what makes The Open Bottle what it is. And we can’t overstate our gratitude.
