Iron & Glass Taproom Opens Outdoor Patio

ROMEOVILLE, IL — Iron & Glass Taproom and Bottleshop, 632 S. Weber Road, recently held a ribbon cutting for its new outdoor patio. The business sells beer, mead, cider, wine, hard coffee, hard lemonade and liquor.

"We always wanted to [build a patio]," co-owner Eric Schutz told Patch, adding that before the COVID-19 pandemic, not a lot of people wanted to sit outside.

"Since COVID, it's been all about keeping people safe and creating an environment for everyone," Schutz said. "It was really clear we needed to do it once COVID hit."

The permitting and construction of the patio took about 3 weeks, he said. Previously, the craft beer taproom had some outdoor seating set up in the parking lot.

The patio has heaters for the fall and colder weather, and enough seating for 30 people.

Iron & Glass is open from 12 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, 12 to 9 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, 12 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. It is closed on Monday.
