The opening date for a new restaurant and microbrewery in Naperville has been pushed back.

Granite City Food & Brewery plans to open at 1828 Abriter Court, which is located within the new Freedom Plaza off I-88 and Freedom Drive, on Oct. 29. The 11,000-square-foot restaurant, which also includes an on-site microbrewery, originally planned to open on Oct. 15 but pushed back the opening date due to “unforeseen delays,” said Carolyn Friedman of Paramount Public Relations, Inc.

“Granite City will offer Naperville residents a unique dining experience with our handcrafted beers and specialty menu items such as Ponzu Glazed Salmon, Bone-In Ribeye and Braised Bison Short Ribs,” says Granite City Food & Brewery CEO Rob Doran. “In addition to our 10 taps of Granite City beer we also have 10 designated local beer taps for our customers, showcasing some of the best brews Chicagoland has to offer.”

Granite City’s new upscale, contemporary design with a full-service, modern wrap-around bar flows into an atrium, open kitchen, central hearth oven, private dining room, exterior patio and on-site microbrewery. Granite City Food & Brewery will employ more than 250 people at its new Naperville location.

The microbrewery, which is visible from inside the restaurant and available for tours, will showcase a variety of signature beers that are made on-site such as The Duke (Pale Ale), The Bennie (Bock), Batch 1000 (Double IPA), The Northern (American Style Light Lager) and The Stout.

The handcrafted beers are also available in growlers.

Headquartered in Minneapolis, Granite City Food & Brewery opened its first restaurant in 1999 and is currently located in 13 states. The new Naperville location is Granite City’s 31st restaurant.
