Beers We Hang Our Hats On

Willow Rock prides itself on making the best local craft beer it can. Using fresh ingredients and a tested approach, we brew a variety of beers wider than this great, green state. From Congress, our American lager, to Jim, our brown ale; Mister Zero, our hazy IPA and everything in between, we keep an award-winning selection of brews on tap year-round, so there’s no FOMO here; you always get our best.

See Flagship Beers

Great Beer, Everytime

When you come down to Willow Rock, not only will you have great local beer, but you’ll be able to relax in our expansive beer hall with a chill vibe that is dog and family-freindly! Our huge outdoor patio is great for catching some rays (or snowflakes!) when you just have to be outside. Come see what makes Willow Rock, rock!

Well it was fun while it lasted 🤷🏻‍♂️ The South Bay bridge southbound lane will be closing again starting Monday, March 2 through May 15. Since we celebrated it reopening, why not celebrating it closing again? We’re doing all day happy hour and breakfast pizzas on Sunday, March 1. And instead of our usual toppings, you have to choose bacon OR sausage. Because apparently we can’t have it both ways 😅

This weekend we've got a DOUBLE beer release at BOTH locations. 🍻 Our seasonal favorite, Galway returns just in time for St. Patrick's Day. This Irish Red Ale is always a crowd favorite. And we're introducing ExBEERimental 22. This time around we used pilsner malt, oats, and wheat along with styrian wolf, strata, and loral cryo hops to make this 7.5% Hazy IPA. We're celebrating the release of both beers in both Cicero and Syracuse with Irish music all day long. In Cicero we're adding reuben pizzas and permanent jewelry with Linked N Love Permanent Jewelry. See you Saturday!
